Why #Anki kinda stinks for language learning. I don't know the content maker well at all, but his list is everything I found frustrating and ineffective about the app/program. It really derailed my novice Spanish studies. I don't recommend it anymore, _especially_ to folks with #adhd issues. He's inspiring me to get back to my old notebook methods, and I want to check out his routines further as well.

The section "Reviewing old cards can become a chore" describes well why I got so frustrated with Anki that I wrote my own flashcard program for private use. The answer to that for me was to simply not have timestamps at all and instead treat intervals as a quantity of reviews. When you run out of reviews, then you can add new cards. It's probably still not the most effective for language learning, but at least this way is more fun for me.

@madewokherd If it's way more fun, you'll do it more, which to me translates to effectiveness! :)
