Re: 2 Scheduled Cards a Day ?

[Gnome]

I may be misunderstanding your problem, but scheduled card are cards you already have learned and are timed to be displayed when its time to repeat them. That's why there are only some cards that are scheduled each day. When you have gone though the scheduled card for the day, the program shows the cards that you have not yet learned.

For some reason for the last week I have only been scheduled 2 - 4 cards per day even though I have 30+ unseen cards in the deck. Almost all the cards that I have seen have been rated a 4 or 5 at least a couple times.

Thoughts ?

( I have all settings at default )

Yes. There are a variety of "timeboxing" strategies for mnemosyne
that work for various people. One way is to do all your scheduled
cards, plus any unseen or forgotten cards, until it tells you that you
have memorized 15 new cards, and if you don't stop you might have a
big workload. This is good if you have unlimited time (or don't mind
taking as much time as it takes) to make sure you see all your
scheduled cards AND make some new progress each day.

Another way is to set a time limit per deck, and work until that's
over (or the above situation hits, or you have nothing left to do at
all). The advantage there is that you limit the amount of time you
are in mnemosyne per day; the downside is that you risk not seeing all
the cards you should have on that day. Not a crisis, but that really
bothers some people.

A combination can be done, too; you set a time limit and work to that
time EVEN IF the dialog about "too much work" occurs.

There are probably many other ways to work through it, but these are
some I've used. For what it's worth, I try to work through until I
get the dialog. But I have a couple different decks that I work
through every day, and due to some days I had to get through a LOT of
cards in one day, I've got quite a big workload on that deck from day
to day, so I do a timed approach there.

I seem to recall someone had a v1 plugin which would stop you once you'd reviewed enough cards to guarantee that some constant number N (or greater) cards would be due for review tomorrow.
This way, it'd prevent you from getting swamped in reviews by looking at too many cards today.

Seemed like a good idea, although I never tested it out...
