A few things I have just noticed. I have a stack of the 914 cards I have 'learned' in supermemo and decided to have a go using the stack system on this web site because I wanted to focus more on Heisig as I have been struggling of late.
I added the cards in clumps of 50. This brought up a few problems. (1) I was remembering items compared to each other - this is x so y must be y cos I just had x. This is easier to do when doing smaller batches, and not something you want. I particularly noticed this when doing the group in lesson 16 (arrow* to 369 shallow). Its often something you might not be aware of until you study in a larger pack and also lead to (2) I am struggling to move over the items from short term to longer term memory.
Both of these problems I have not been aware of until I started to move the items into a larger/new deck and until I was ill and forced to take a break. Its not that I was not doing his system on purpose, I still think I am I just think I am struggling with it. I can also see why people give up because it can seem like your walking the walk and then you get to this point and suddenly find your fail rate goes sky high and that can be very demoralizing and also make you have to choose between adding new items and restudying the old.
I was wondering how long people spend each day on this?
