I’ve used Anki nearly every day for the past decade or so, and I agree it is not very efficient. It’s too passive. Like you said, assembling your own deck, deliberately going through the material in more natural chunks and actively processing it is more efficient. But Anki makes up for that in consistency. I went through a deck of about 8000 cards and it was tremendously valuable. I could’ve learned the material faster with other methods, but only if I had the commitment to it. By contrast, opening an all every day on the train is a breeze.
