I suggest you read this: [Deck Options - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html)

You can’t control quite that much. And you don’t need to, because Anki is a **spaced** repetition system – and you can let it space your cards out for you.

It’s a good idea to stick with the default values for your Deck Options until you are more familiar with what they to. You can change your Daily Limits and Burying to whatever you want, but everything else that shows changes in your screenshot is concerning. [You didn’t ask if those intervals were any good, but – is that 270d for Easy? I can’t think of a situation where that would be a good idea.]

I assume you’re saying these are the intervals you want on the buttons for _when you first introduce a card_? Those are controlled as follows –

- **Again** = your 1st learning step [currently 1m]
  - You can change your 1st learning step to 10m (so, delete the 1m step)

- **Hard** = you can’t control this directly [currently ~5m based on your 2 learning steps]
  - If you set your 1st (and only) step to 10m, this will be ~15m

- **Good** = your next learning step [currently 10m] or graduating interval [currently 1d]
  - You can change your graduating interval to 7d, _but I don’t recommend that_

- **Easy** = your Easy interval [currently 10d]
  - You can change your easy interval, _but as I mentioned above, you shouldn’t_
