Broke lesson 2 into cards and emptied Anki to hold them

Broke lesson 2 apart and turned it into cards. Its three card files merged into one, 167 down to 165, and lesson 1’s 63 cut to 21 because lesson 2 already says the rest better.

Set the rule for what a card is first. Seven criteria, and two more I agreed to. A card exists to revise and a note exists to teach, and 42 of the 90 cards I had opened with “Core idea” and buried the answer hundreds of characters down.

Then emptied Anki. One thousand one hundred and four notes across eighteen decks deleted, backed up first, and 196 loaded back.

New cards stop arriving while I am behind now. A daily limit only sets how fast they come, and says nothing about whether the reviews are getting done.

Write to me

If any of this is something you can help with, or you think I have got it wrong, write and tell me. I read them all myself.
