Hi everyone,
I was wondering how many cards you add per day. Do you try to keep your apprentice items under 100 like with wanikani? I have the problem where I always want to add new cards but I feel burned out when my apprentice card number is too high.
Now that Iâm almost done with WK and BP I try to keep it under 200. But! itâs not actually 200, ~60 of them are from Portuguese right now, and 120 are from 10k, where I do sentences too, so itâs 2 cards per one word. So really itâs more like 120 in beginner. On WK I had it around 150 and that was comfortable for me 
I do 5 lessons (sometimes 10) on PT and 10 (so 5 words) on 10k every day. I do skip lessons quite often if I feel like itâs getting too much, or I didnât do evening reviews for a couple of days.
This below gives me around 300-400 reviews per day which I can manage because of those 10k sentence cards^^
I do exactly this right now. After learning too many times what burnout tastes like, Iâve learned that 200 apprentice/beginner items are my absolute limit 
And now that Iâm busier than Iâve ever been in my life, I know that I need to keep them under 100 or Iâm going to be more burned out than ever 
I think this can vary a bit depending on whether youâre doing SRS elsewhere (I guess youâre also going through WK), how much time you have, etc.
My suggestion would be to avoid starting too many decks for now. Maybe just go with one. If youâre using Genki to study, you can take the opportunity to use the Genki Vocabulary Deck, or if youâre just looking to learn common vocabulary, you can study the Core 10000 words. Since you seem to be doing Wanikani, Core 10 has these tags L1, L2, L3, etc which represent the WK level at which youâll be able to read that word 
So that might be definitely useful.
Also, start with a lower amount of lessons. Maybe just go with 5 a day and see how you do. If you feel like later to can do more, youâll just need to adjust a bit I think itâs always better to aim for fewer lessons a day that you can actually do than overdoing, losing consistency, and feeling stressed about this whole thing.
Hope it helps!
I have:
I admit that I felt a bit overwhelmed 4 days ago when I got my 55 lessons on WK new level 
As I really want to do it all in once or in few hours, it was quite exhausting for 2-3 days.
I lowered it to 15 lessons for 2 days but now Iâm back at 30, probably until Iâll have another level unlocked on WK. I think thatâs what would work the best for me. Thatâs a really good thing that you can adjust the number of new lessons here 
Iâm also doing KaniWani for memory reinforcement and I just started BunPro yesterday to learn a bit of grammar. But I donât intend to do more than 3 lessons on BP.
Kitsun and WK are the main 
Iâm not going to deny that it takes me some time everyday but I enjoy it.
I think I was doing 20 on WK when I was going really fast, plus some occasional lessons on Kitsun and just 2 on BP. I wouldnât recommend more than 2 on Bunpro actually, I did binge a lot in the beginning though, that wasnât nice

When I reached this point though it did sound like a lot xD Depends on what time and effort you can spare on language learning, but just be careful to not burn out^^ Youâre still gonna be going fast if you lower it to âjustâ 20 lessons a day and 2 grammar points
Thanks everyone! I think I might have too many decks at the moment.
Between 10-15 lessons here and 10-15 lessons on WK
Plus Study grammar using textbooks and youtube.
I always take four or less lesson to keep my retention resist
About 20 lessons on WK (going fast for a few levels) and around 15 here on kitsun. I am feeling the burnout coming but will try and stick with this speed for a month or two and then slow down.
I have three decks here on kitsun, 10k, my own and the prefecture one which I just mess around with coz I find it really fun.
Bunpro is kind of like a minigame I play from time to time (atleast some once per day) as I try to get some more immersion time and therefore some more grammar exposure. Add a lesson here and there and to some reviews here and there.
I tried to do 10 from the JLPT N5 deck and 10 from the ăăăŠćă«ăȘă deck, plus I also have general WK and the Genki textbook and it was all a bit too much, so now adding maybe 5 a day to each. My accuracy level is slowly going back up.
