Progress Update: 2/2

Kanji Kount™: 1700

So a few days ago, I found an option in Anki (my SRS software) to hide the statistics and the time interval on the buttons during the review session. I noticed that I was getting distracted/disheartened every time I forgot a kanji with a really long interval, because then it got reset to zero. Also, it's not very motivating to watch the accuracy progress bar drop from green to yellow and finally to red over the course of EVERY SINGLE review session. So, I decided to get rid of the stats during my reviews to help me focus on the kanji, instead of my progress. And guess what?

Today's review was my highest accuracy in over a MONTH!

Granted, it was only 67.7% 69.3%, but when I've been averaging in the low 60% range for the longest time now, a high-60's score seems great by comparison. I know that correlation is not causation, but still, I'm gonna stick with no-stats-while-I-study for the rest of my studying. Speaking of which... 2 MORE WEEKS at my current pace!
