Build Your Daily Habit

The system only works if you show up. Most Anki users spend about 15 to 30 minutes a day reviewing their due cards. The trick is to treat it like brushing your teeth: not optional, not negotiable.

Start small. Add five to ten new cards per day at most. Adding fifty on day one creates an avalanche of reviews that crushes your motivation by week two. A slow, steady drip builds a huge knowledge base over months without ever feeling overwhelming.
