First time posting here, long time lurker. Almost three months ago I stopped RTK somewhere in the mid 700s and a few days ago, I started back up with just as many reviews to do. I actually had to update Anki to get it to sync it had been so long. I seriously dreaded having to relearn all the stories, all the primitives that I had forgotten. But I started cold, without even pulling the book out. I get a few misses, remember a few more; still dreading having to go through everything to find what I had lost.

But then I noticed something. Everything with an interval I'm still within, be it by a month or a day, I remember. I read the stories for the ones I wasn't sure about, and even if I'm not exactly sure where all the primitives went, I still knew them. The SRS knew me better than I did.  It gave me the drive to tear down through the cards, and I may have it where I can start where I left off by the weekend.

Up until now, I was never sure if RTK and SRSing was actually worth all the effort it takes to put in place. But now I know that it is the best method for burning through, and actually remembering, all these devilish 漢字. Let my laziness be a testament to how well it all works together.
