Progress: 229 down 2778 to go

Let's take a look at the graphs that Anki provides us.

 

Cards due and Reps: Cards due is a glimpse into what your future holds. Tomorrow I have some work to do. As you get new cards they will always be closer before the next review while more mature cards I won't see for 20+ days. From this graph I can see that maybe I'm not remembering the Kanji as well as I should. I can either take more time to go through at a slower pace or choose to do less cards per day. I'm gonna try the first method as well as go back and fill in Heisig's story's for the Kanji on the back of the cards.

Reps shows how many times you flipped through the cards each day. If you have more you need to review this number will be higher as well as if you go through and miss a card multiple times. My reps seem to slowly be increasing so I should take more time to review.

 Review Time and Cards Added- Kind of useless for Kanji and i don't care how long it takes if I'm having fun doing it and I don't thinking learning Kanji is work. Cards Added won't change for the Kanji deck but can be useful if you have a Vocab deck or later on your Sentence Deck. To make sure your always getting better something should be added everyday.

 Cards First Answer: This could be good for reference as well as making it really obvious when you missed a day. This will be a level graph at 20 per day unless I decide to do more like i did on day 4.

Cumulative Due: simply a running total of all the cards you went through this should always steady increase to reflect the constant amount of cards you did. Useless for this blog but kind of makes you feel like your making progress.

The Top graph is "Intervals" it shows how many cards you have completed that have a certain amount of days in between each rep. So If i come across a card in the 4 days pile  and I get it correct then it will move to say a 6 days pile and I won't see it for another 6 days.

Eases: Probably the most important graph shown. It tells you how you rated the different type of cards you come across. (For me: 1- Got it even slightly wrong cycle through AGAIN. 2-Got it right but took a while or wasn't confident. 3-95% confidence and I remember only recently having that card be New. 4- Seen multiple times and a  F*&^%ing Cake Walk)  Light blue is New Cards so naturally you won't do too well. Dark Blue you've seen before and have gotten them correct in the past. Bright Blue you should know these cards.

I expect the New cards to stay relatively the same however I would like to see more in the 2's range. See it once and get it on the 2nd time through.

Dark blue I don't forsee a huge change but would like it to be more level if not skewed right towards good.

Bright Blue Hopefully won't have any 1's but it may happen. 3's and 4's are a must.

I'll come up with a way of judging my retention rate probably based off both the Young and mature Cards. With more emphasis on the Mature cards. Something like 20% for Young 80% for Mature sounds about right. and 3's or 4's count as retention.
