How Many SRS Reviews in a Day? - CreepyAF - 2015-08-30
I've been working on getting back into serious Anki study. For the past few weeks, I'm doing 10 new cards, and about 30 - 50 reviews a day.
How many new/reviews are you doing now? How many would you recommend for someone who is between beginner and intermediate?

It really depends on the person. There's been times I barely added any cards and other times I've added 100 a day. Long term wise 10-30 a day would a good doable amount to keep up. If you go higher than that you really have to spend a lot more time on SRS which might be not that fun to do.
I personally find it rather hard to keep up doing the same amount of cards every day, I just do how many I feel like doing after finishing my reviews for that day (which might be backlogged reviews). I've done a month of 100 new cards a day some years ago but the result of that is that I get a lot of spikes in my review queue. It'd be best if you can avoid that.

SRS reviews are never going to be fun, so I guess it comes down to your tolerance for the grind.
Choice of material is a big factor in that interesting cards are more tolerable than dull ones.
E.g. audio cards (mostly based on anime subs) make up about half my reviews now, which I rather enjoy doing so am able to tolerate a lot more despite them taking longer.
Reviewing 50 easy cards is a lot less painful (more tolerable) than 10 difficult cards in the same time.
Sentences taken from material you enjoyed reading are more tolerable than random core sentences, etc.

I think it really depends on whether you write the vocabulary down or not - if you don't, you can review 200 cards in a breeze, but if you do for me it gets really tiring at around 120.

Right now, I'm only adding grammar cards as I make them; my deck tends to have between 120 and 160 reviews per day (finished adding from Core10k about a month ago).
When I was adding vocab cards for Core10k, I tended to add twenty to forty cards per day; however, while I was going through Core6k, I tended to add sixty to one-hundred cards per day. I didn't have duplicate cards (like the original Core had), just one recognition card for each term.
The amount one should add per day is entirely dependent on the time they have to study, but I think that twenty per day should be the intended minimum, unless you are seriously bogged down. Less than that, and you really start stretching out your vocab goals (if twenty per day will let you enter 7000 words in a year, then ten will only allow 3500 in the same time, and five will be 1750).

As Sholum said, It really depends how log you want to spend studying vocab. Studying more per day will get you fluent quicker, but takes more time. I would say just keep adding new cards until you're studying as much as you have time for. At the beginning, you could add a bunch of new cards because you don't have any reviews. After a while, reviews start to add up, so you have to add less new cards. It sort of balances itself out.
To give an idea, if you do 10 new cards/day, with an accuracy of 90% and anki set to it's default values, after a year your workload will be about 100 cards per day. With an accuracy of 80% your workload will be more like 145.

I think you should aim for 10,000 per year.

I'm adding 20 new per day at the moment for Mandarin, with 230+ reviews per day. Until ten or so days ago I was at 10 new per day, so my reviews are currently climbing. I think they will stabilize at around or below 300 per day over the next few weeks.
I recommend setting your initial new cards nice and low, and focusing on adding every day as a habit. Maybe +10 per day maximum? Then after a few months if you feel confident try upping it some more. If you have a holiday or something you could always do a few short bursts, but make sure you don't overload yourself with reviews.
The garden comparison is really apt with anki decks I think. You need to be constantly planting in order to grow the size of it, but you also need to be weeding things out. If you start hating a lot of your cards then try deleting them.
With my Chinese deck I am keeping pretty much everything, but then I am adding cards that are pre-made with sound attached, and when adding I do sometimes skip cards which I think are weird or useless.
With my Japanese deck which is nice and old I delete a lot. I don't -need- that deck anymore, so I'm far less tolerant of anything I don't find interesting. I also only add sentences from something I've read that I think I'll use or is interesting.
