I feel like for the past couple weeks I’ve been trying to find a rhythm again that feels good for me, both for grammar and for WaniKani. The weird thing is that I’ve still been okay at completing my reviews per day (usually) and I’ve leveled up at around my usual pacing… but I’ve had a few days with much, much bigger review piles at the end of the day, and there have been a couple brief days when I switched on ‘vacation mode’ for half a day just to give myself a breather.
quickly changes topic Did you know that apple seeds have a substance called amygdalin that can degrade into a form of cyanide so ingesting apple seeds are a big no no! Dont eat apple seeds, kids! Core your apples!!
Level 60 itself? Its just the normal amount of kanji so its more of the motivation to keep going once youre level 60. I just had a busy month but I’ll get back to it by next week or so
After doing solely reviews (and sometimes nothing at all) for the last 2 months of 2019, I got back into doing 5 lessons a day starting Tuesday. So far I’m doing great with it. I have 100 (guru) reviews coming up Saturday, but I feel lucky since Saturdays I usually have more time for that stuff. In the meantime, my apprentice level is nice and low, and I can focus on other areas of study more. Like grammar and vocabulary building. I also started watching some anime, for listening and relaxing. Plus I found some manga to read.
So, while I’ve recovered from the holidays, I also took a step back from the pace I had before the holidays. So far, so good
I was sick for a few days leading up to New Year’s, so I slowed down quite a bit. Completely unrelated to the holidays, but my reviews have been seriously fluctuating since then. Should be back to steady reviews soon!
The holidays and rampant colds going through the schools and work (and the dojo too!). I still have a stuffy head and ringing ears so it’s hard to concentrate on anything. I have been keeping up with my reviews but not my lessons. I have less than 100 apprentice items now but am still in the Kanji lessons for this level.
Doesn’t help that I got the lifetime sub - not is such a hurry to get done I guess.
In anticipation of the holidays, I slowed down to 5 lessons per day and reviews to 0 before turning in for the night. This was a few days before my holiday week began.
Then during the actual holiday week that I was off work, I slowed to 3 lessons while maintaining 0 reviews at end of day. I went home to see family for a week but our off days did not line up perfectly so half the time during holiday I had a lot of time alone to do WK.
Slowly now going back to 10 reviews per day, if available, since last week while still going 0 reviews at end of day.
Interestingly enough my accuracy actually fell because of the holiday. Either because my routine was put off or because I kept getting things wrong because my mind was not into it I am hoping it’s the former rather than the latter
Something very similar happened with me, at least it felt like it. As for the reason, it was both for me (including sickness) it was okay to have my mind not be into it while spending time with family (lots else going on) and then having the routine cause larger review piles.
I had accuracy down to 60% some reviews even lower. I was actually getting quite frustrated. Talking to myself asking what is wrong with me.
Of course it doesn’t help going over the threads about hitting a wall, getting stuck, and all that! Good thing I avoided the reset level threads
I am kinda back to my old accuracy of hovering around 80% or better. So I am quite glad to be over that holiday hump. Now I am back and chugging along nicely!
