Is there any point continuing to sentence mine if I find it annoying?

So I find sentence mining annoying. Using Anki is draining (I usually have it set to 20 cards and while my retention is around 80% usually, anki is a slog to get through).

I usually either fall into one of two situations: I get so caught up reading that I forget to sentence mine and can't be bothered to re-read to find words that I could have mined or it's a hassle creating cards usually (I usually use Yomitan and shareX to create them but I have to manually paste images in).

While I understand the benefits of sentence mining, I wanted to know if there's 1. Either some way I can optimize my workflow or make adjustments such that sentence mining becomes less tedious or 2. Whether I'd be missing out on much dropping sentence mining as a whole.
