It sounds like a great way of catching up. I use something similar to this catch-up technique whenever I find myself with a backlog. Mine is a bit simpler – I only create one Filtered Deck with all of the overdue cards (usually something like
prop:due<=-1 -is:learn -is:buried). -
The nice thing about a system like this is that I can spend as much or little time as I have available working through a portion of my overdue deck. (At the end of that, I rebuild it, to kick any lapsed/re-learning cards back to the main deck.) Of course, the priority is to keep current with my main deck, so every day I get the reward of a “you have finished” in my main deck, plus the bonus of watching the size of my backlog drop. I mostly treat my backlog like new cards (but without resetting them to be new) – that’s a good guide for me about how many cards I can do there each day. If I have a lot of lapses, I might not get through as much of my backlog as on a successful day.
