what to do with RTK1 Anki deck?

#1
Hello forum members,
i finally completed RTK1 yesterday, reviewing with my anki deck. It was a shared deck with the RTK3 kanji in it but i just stopped new cards being added after the sign of the snake kanji.
My intention is to use the AJATT methos but im wondering about the transition here, i will move onto KO2001 sentences but how do people generally deal with the decjk changeover, whats the most effective way?
should i start a sentence deck or should i add to the RTK1&3 manually? Meaning i should delete the last thousand rtk3 cards? Should i keep the deck seperate? Im using my iphone and Ankimini nearly exclusively for reviewing.
what did everyone else do? whats the most effective way? Ive scoured AJATT and this forum but couldnt find an answer.Sorry if its been answered already... im deperate for an answer here.

I keep my kanji deck separate. It's of lower priority than my sentence deck, so it's nice to not have to run into kanji cards in the middle of doing sentences.

As Tobberoth said keep your decks separate. I have RTK1&3, grammar(Tae Kim), kana and sentences. I'll probably put sub2srs stuff into a separate one too.

Also don't delete your last 1000 (RTK3) kanji, just suspend & enable them when needed.

If you intend to have a lot of media files w/ those sentences, then I'd keep the decks separate. Otherwise you could just use tags for different types of cards... (tag the RTK1 deck with... 'RTK1', perhaps.)

think ill make a different deck, add the sentences manually. id like to put media in but ankimini wont allow it, and i cant see myself reviewing from a computer. Ankimini changed my approach completely since it allowed me to review anywhere.

I will chime in just to add that I use two separate decks. It is easy, since I do reviews of Kanji in the morning and sentences at night. Also, I had a corrupted deck on my laptop and lost an entire day of reviews that I had done. Keeping the decks separate saved a lot of time in that I didn't have to make up the reviews for both decks.

This is one of those things that goes down to preference. Some like to review from the same deck, some like separate decks.

I also keep separate decks, and prioritize which deck I look at first. Really, it's the deck I'm adding new items to (now my Drama sub2srs deck) that I look at last.

I used to keep all my cards in the same deck, but eventually decided to split it in two. Since I like to use the "kanji stats" function to see how many kanji are covered in my sentences, having 3000+ kanji cards in the same deck quickly became a problem.

In the recent versions of Anki, it's so easy to switch between decks, anyway, so I would suggest at least two separate decks for sentences and kanji.

Yeah its mostly personal preference. I use one big deck, and tag each individual sub deck. I find that if I split it into multiple decks I ignore the one's with cards I don't really want to review (Economics, Management etc.) and the reviews pile up. If I keep it all in one deck that doesn't happen.
