When using multiple learning steps, if I can’t finish my reviews on the same day and end up completing them the next day, Anki often schedules the next interval as something very large—like 1–2 months. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I knew it better to finish them on the same day. But if i decided to review some cards at the evening and I will not be able to finish them on the same day I have got huge review on the next day.
Is there any way to prevent this besides finishing reviews on the same day?
I just optimized it now. I’ll update if anything changes.
Just to clarify, my problem is that when I learn a card with, let’s say, 1m 10m 20m steps and I don’t finish them on the same day, then on the next day—when I complete the final learning step—I end up getting a larger initial interval than usual (after those learning steps).
Depends on you and the content. Generally, 1m 10m (default) works fine for most cases. If you’re changing that, you should be looking at how you grade your cards at each step. For example, if you find yourself forgetting a lot of cards at the 10m step, maybe you can add 5m step just before 10m. Or, for example, you find recalling at 1m a bit too effortless for what you’re learning, then you can increase that to 2m.
