Thats totally fine too, it’s just that energy could’ve been dedicated to other cards where there isn’t an issue. I also power through some of these occasionally if I don’t feel like busting out pen and paper, etc.
> given enough time, cards you know well will turn into leeches,
Yeah this is an issue. Particularly if you keep periodically doing Anki, with just enough time to have lapses. So I set Anki to mark leeches instead of suspending them, and when I go through suspended / leech cards I do an assessment.
- kazinator 7y ago> could’ve been dedicated to other cards where there isn’t an issue Nope! It doesn't work that way; each card is scheduled independently of others. You're not going to see other cards less due to seeing one card more. Busting through leeches just adds to the workload; you still spend all the same time on the other cards. (Even if you set daily limits on reviews, that just causes a backlog.)
- andrewzah 7y agoI was referring to the mental energy spent on busting through that leech, not anki's system.
