Sometimes I don’t know the answer of a card but I’m sure if I do the card again in some hours I’ll be able to answer it
Describe the solution you’d like
A fixed amount of time in settings for bury option, if the the time of using bury for a card exceed the “Next day starts at” the card will be moved to the start of next day
Describe alternatives you’ve considered
A whole new option which I can’t think of a name for it. This option is exactly like bury but with customizable time instead of being next day
The name could be ‘Skip’ ‘Ignore’
This option should not affect card time log in info (database)
A simpler approach to implement this
1- select a deck
2- start study session (study now)
3- use the Skip option on any card through the study session (it moves onto the next due card)
4- go back to your deck list and choose the same deck
5- study now and you’ll see the skipped card again
How is this simpler?
It’s just a simple skip function specific to a single study session and doesn’t need timing stuff which makes it harder to implement!
Whats wrong burying a whole day? if you truly believe you are gonna remember later, 1 day of difference barely affects most cards scheduling
I understand the feeling, but in those cases i would usually just fail the card. Are you going to remember later because you are lacking energy now to concentrate or because you need some other cue to trigger the knowledge?
There are some corner cases where i do recollect the knowledge, but not the specific wording. In those cases i usually just rate the card hard and move on
Note that feeling “you should know something and its in the tip of your tongue” and “i got it but not the specific wording” are very similar, but first one is clearly a fail and the second one could be a pass if you dont care about the specific wording (for example if you have studying for an exam that requires to write down your knowledge, wording is as important as knowledge and you should fail both cases)
Well I still find it useful
1- sometimes you forget a word and you know if you think about it for maybe a minute you’ll remember it, in when this happen several times in a session, it’s just counterintuitive to wait until you remember it or bury or see the answer and hit again ( I mean it’s not a competition when I’m gonna remember it in a minute or two), think about, imagine it’s a exam and you can’t remember the answer now but at the end of the exam you remember and answer it correctly.
2- it’s not just for review, it has uses for new cards too, for example I find a card difficult to learn but I want to read it in the end of my study time, I have to bury those then unbury them again
IMO, an Skip option just makes things faster, A LOT.
I have little weight on things get added to anki or not, but I usually will defend corner cases to be added, because there are many individual ways to study
But i think one this 2 things are happening here, either you dont have enough energy to study and you should stop go do something else, or if the card is not triggering the knowledge you simply dont know it and must fail it
failing a card doesnt mean you dont know it, it means the card is not triggering the knowledge, thats a clear cut fail not a skip
If you need to scaffold the knowledge in your mind or think about it, maybe you need to redo the card so the trigger you want for remembering is in the card
