I've been using spaced repetition via anki for about a year now. Two effects that I've run into:
1.) When there's a deadline looming i tend to drop doing it, and then after the deadline i have a bunch to catch up on.
2.) I find somewhat frequently that some of the things i learned that I thought would be good to know in the future, i no longer have a use for. It's easy enough to stop reviewing those bits, but I've wondered what kind of impact that has.
- klevertree 6y agoWhile I can't address the second point, the first point is something that I've run into a lot. In my own spaced repetition app [1], I simply space out the amount that people have to catch up on if they develop a huge backlog. For anki, my best advice would be to take this opportunity to delete some of the cards that you really don't need, especially if you're just doing this for fun. Anki tends to be very conservative with how long it makes you review cards, anyways. [1] https://get21stnight.com/ https://get21stnight.com/
