Adding forty cards on Sunday creates a review bill you pay all week.
Turn a daily review-minute cap into the largest number of new cards you can add without passing it.
Anyone using flashcards who wants a steady review load instead of a Monday spike.
Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.
Write the minutes you can review on a normal day. Use a small, repeatable number.
Time a few cards and write the seconds per review. Include the pause before the answer.
Count how many times each card comes back inside your horizon. Four is a common short horizon.
Multiply the cap by 60 and divide by the seconds. That is the reviews that fit each day.
Divide the reviews by the returns and round down. That is your daily new-card cap.
You allow 20 minutes a day, each review takes 8 seconds, and each card returns 4 times. That is 150 reviews, 37 new cards, and 19.7 minutes used.
Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.
