One possible "solution" could be to put the scheduled cards into a
category and disable that category when you need to learn new stuff. And
as JEH already said, stop paying attention to the scheduled card number
and just go through as many scheduled as possible each day till it comes
down to 0 again. Also there is no point in "pausing" mnemosyne as you
say as the algorithm is only working due to the way our brains and
memory works and you can't just pause your brain :)
Just because Mnemosyne stops scheduling cards doesn't mean you will not
eventually forget those cards.
So, the only problem is that of learning new stuff while you have
scheduled cards, and that should be possible to solve with categories
and disabling.
Mvh.

Mnemosyne is great for learning new stuff, but if you are getting
greedy about "knowing stuff" and it is hurting you - maybe you need to
reevaluate and stop being so attached to the totally insignificant
number of "scheduled cards".
Sorry about being so unhelpful! :-)

Well, as its a Buddhist Vipassana monastery where I will be isolated
and observing noble silence for 10 days and meditating for just over
10 hours of each of those days (not to mention the simple fact that
technology is not allowed), that isn't really a plausible option.
Also, when I get back there will be new things I need to start
learning right away.
Any suggestions given those limiting factors?
