Also! Keep track of your progress with a spreadsheet that you update daily at a predetermined time (for me it was right before bed). That way you can see in black and white how awesome you are (or, ...

Post: Third Time's a Charm, right? -RtK

I'll just add that the third time is TOTALLY a charm. It was for me, anyway. So just continue the trend and you'll be fine.

Sorry to change the subject, but I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice about Production vs. Recognition. When adding new cards, from whatever source, how exactly do you decide whether to ...

I noticed the Dictionary of Advanced Japanese Grammar at Kinokuniya the other day, so it's definitely out. Maybe still percolating to the online retailers.

Post: Lack of motivation after finishing RtK1

I'm in the same pickle as you my friends. I think the problem is the absence of a clear goal. with RtK1 you could always look ahead and say "only 1000 more to go!" or "only 200 more to go!" and when...

Just go to Kanji Lookup, look up a kanji, and then click "SOD" to get the stroke order diagram (I assume that's what it stands for).

How complicated is it to move an Anki set-up from one PC to another? Is it simply a matter of opening up Anki on the second computer and syncing it to the online deck?

Post: Why so many political stories?

I think in the long-term the stories and later the keywords are meant to just drop away anyway, so it shouldn't really matter. Personally I didn't use many timely stories, but I can understand why pe...

Woo! Well they say third time's a charm and that certainly proved to be the case for me. I first tried Heisig about two years ago but fizzled out around 500 and then tried again but only made it up ...

Okay sorry if this is a dumb question, but this "move schedule data to Anki" thing doesn't move the stories at all, right? To access those would one have to log in to RevTK?
