Rate of Adding Cards and Future Workload

[Gerry]

Wondering if one added say 5 cards per day what the review workload would be like in a year?

I ask as I can get obsessive about hobbies and learning to the point it is no longer fun and then I quit. SRSs are lovely but if the number of reviews is great it has the feeling of an obligation and work, not fun.

Maybe 5 is very little and could add 10/day and still not have a large number to review in a year's time (assuming reasonable recall along the way)?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

5 to 10 card per day should be sustainable, but of course, monitor your workload over the coming weeks to see what’s feasible.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

Well I found some old posts discussing the workload issue and it spoke to being cautious as for some the reviews can build up to the point of people quitting. So I will be cautious!

Make sure to tag them really well while you're creating them if you are adding a lot.  In that case, if it gets overwhelming (like when I use it for school), it is really easy to decide which to discard/ignore as bunches when they're tagged.  Else it is a nightmare to work through thousands of untagged cards trying to decide what to keep and discard at the end of the school year, say.  I even use subtags within a category to help this work.

As a point of reference, I've added 5 cards per day for quite a while,
and my workload is roughly 80 reviews per day. You can estimate at
least a lower bound for how many reviews you'll have based on no
misses, for example if the multiplication factor is 2.5 you'll see
each card about 8 or 9 times before it gets beyond 5 or 10 years, so
your workload will ultimately (again, if you never miss) be about 8
times the number of cards you add per day. In reality, since you are
adding cards that you are still learning, I think a factor of 20 or so
is probably normal for the daily load you'll have.

I thought mnemosyne never scheduled them for more than a year. Is this not the case? I'm not sure where I gathered that idea.

I'm also not sure where you got that idea, but it's not correct...
