Ok i want to asked this question. For some odd reason, well not really odd but I have 4 decks now. I started to feel like adding an extra one for some reason. Maybe more sentences for reading kanji,etc. I feel like i can handle more nowadays since when i first started learning japanese. Since i have school i cannot go to the extremes so i just time-box everything in 1 hour for srs and immersion the rest of the day while doing school work. But i still have that urge to do more, and i can handle more. So my question is, should i do more? It all varies i know, i think it's effective in my case because i can handle it. Everyones different i understand that. Some like to take things slow, while others faster. I know srsing a lot of things doesn't necessarily mean you've "learned it". But learning it can mean a lot of things, such as just understanding it+being able to read it. Production is the other factor in this. For me personally, i take the time to understand each sentence, so if i see it again or hear it in context i can recognize it and therefore it's "learned".  I remember someone here said the learners for Japanese varies. Some like to go hardcore or learn a lot while others like to take things slowly. But basically in the middle of that right now neither extreme nor slow in that perspective.

You aren't really asking a question.  It sounds like you want to study more, and have the time to do so.  So just do it.

What's your study to exposure ratio? Maybe you should spend the extra time reading or something.

Now that i think about it. Doesn't really sound like a question. Yea i think i'll just do more, because i have the time too. As for exposure ration, i do immerse myself once i'm done all my srs reps and do exposure for the majority of the day. But i think i should get more, to even things out.

Maybe you could use some of your extra time to study English punctuation.  Or to reread your posts before clicking Submit so that you can structure your "questions" into actual questions instead of stream-of-consciousness ramblings.

To be fair, at least he made it clear that the topic wasn't going to make any sense from the get-go.  I mean, I've been trying to parse the topic title into something coherent since yesterday, and I've yet to make any headway.

@JimmySeal
lol. Point taken.
@Mcjon01
As for the topic, it's kinda hard to make it in a direct question. I could have said, should i study more given...blah blah. But it's weird when it comes to these topics
