Hey everyone,
I’ve been studying for around 1.5 years now, mostly using Anki and immersion (freeflow, sentence mining, etc.). I’ve been trying to do a minimum of 2 hours a day since I heard from multiple sources that it’s a good amount to feel consistent progress.
The problem is, for the past year I’ve been dragging myself along, constantly feeling like there’s not enough time in the day to fit it all in — but forcing it anyway.
It’s starting to feel like I just don’t have enough time to study 2 hours a day, especially since I’ve basically neglected my career growth as a software developer. I haven’t been studying or improving my dev skills outside of work at all lately.
Now I’m at a point where I’m doubting whether I should even continue. But at the same time, I know I’d regret quitting later. I’ve been thinking about reducing my study time to 1 hour a day, but I’m not sure if that would still lead to meaningful progress.
Even with zero new cards, Anki alone takes me at least an hour every day, and it seems like it would take quite a while to get that number down.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate any advice or different perspectives.
