Yes. There are a variety of "timeboxing" strategies for mnemosyne that work for various people. One way is to do all your scheduled cards, plus any unseen or forgotten cards, until it tells you that you have memorized 15 new cards, and if you don't stop you might have a big workload. This is good if you have unlimited time (or don't mind taking as much time as it takes) to make sure you see all your scheduled cards AND make some new progress each day. Another way is to set a time limit per deck, and work until that's over (or the above situation hits, or you have nothing left to do at all). The advantage there is that you limit the amount of time you are in mnemosyne per day; the downside is that you risk not seeing all the cards you should have on that day. Not a crisis, but that really bothers some people. A combination can be done, too; you set a time limit and work to that time EVEN IF the dialog about "too much work" occurs. There are probably many other ways to work through it, but these are some I've used. For what it's worth, I try to work through until I get the dialog. But I have a couple different decks that I work through every day, and due to some days I had to get through a LOT of cards in one day, I've got quite a big workload on that deck from day to day, so I do a timed approach there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
