I've started and stopped a handful of times over the years. One thing that surprised me was how much easier it was to learn something the 2nd(+) time around.
It's apparently an actual thing: https://www.psychology-lexicon.com/cms/glossary/52-glossary-s/16841-savings.html
Makes me feel better about learning stuff that I'm not able to reinforce yet.
Thanks, that's encouraging!
On JPDB some of the old batches of kanji/vocab are still cropping up. I'm not sure why they weren't in the first "mass" of long overdue review cards. I forgot them but after a review or two they seem to stick well.
