My backlog gets daunting too. I'll get real motivated one week and add a bunch of cards, to then get busy another week and fall behind.
I just try to keep reminding myself the spaced-repetition system will work itself out.
Yupp, it can definitely get daunting. I just have to keep reminding myself to do it during small pockets of free time throughout the day. I let 750 mandarin vocab cards buildup.
I was thinking I will just bite the bullet and try to get it all done today instead of distributing it throughout the week. I'm pretty harsh on myself with vocab (if I don't get the answer within 3-5 seconds I just mark it as again). So doing it all today will give me an accurate idea of what cards I need to review more. I will channel the energy for both of us!
