    I set a personal goal to stay slow and consistent with Mandarin in the beginning of the year, then life happened in January and I have not recovered and I have an enormous anki backlog 🫠.

    But I’ve been slow and consistent with my Spanish comprehensible input. My goal over this week is to finally catch up on my mandarin anki backlog and then next week start again with mandarin comprehensible input

      My backlog gets daunting too. I’ll get real motivated one week and add a bunch of cards, to then get busy another week and fall behind.

      I just try to keep reminding myself the spaced-repetition system will work itself out.

        Yupp, it can definitely get daunting. I just have to keep reminding myself to do it during small pockets of free time throughout the day. I let 750 mandarin vocab cards buildup.

        I was thinking I will just bite the bullet and try to get it all done today instead of distributing it throughout the week. I’m pretty harsh on myself with vocab (if I don’t get the answer within 3-5 seconds I just mark it as again). So doing it all today will give me an accurate idea of what cards I need to review more. I will channel the energy for both of us!
