Catch up on your Anki backlog
A few missed days and reviews pile into the hundreds. See how many cards a day to do, how many minutes it takes and when you'll be caught up, without resetting the deck.
Your deck today
Take the numbers from the deck overview. If you don't know your seconds per card, keep 10.

- Pause new cards until the backlog is zero.
- Clear the decks of the nearest exam first.
- Don't reset the deck: splitting the backlog into daily quotas works better than starting over.

Common questions
Should I reset my deck when the backlog is huge?
Usually not: you lose the intervals of cards you still remember. Splitting the backlog into daily quotas and pausing new cards gets you back on track without starting over.
Should I keep learning new cards?
Not until the backlog is zero. Each new card a day adds roughly 10 reviews a day over time, so it slows the recovery.
Does it work for apps other than Anki?
Yes: it applies to any spaced repetition flashcard app. You only need the backlog, daily reviews and the minutes you have.
