Last-minute deck recovery after missed study days
Recovery is about protecting the next month of reviews—not clearing yesterday’s guilt in one sitting.
You missed several study days. Due counts spiked, guilt is high, and you are tempted to cram five hundred reviews in one night before adding more imports.
A stabilized queue for the next month—not a heroic one-time clear that burns you out and invites the same backlog again.
What to do in Cramblr
Stop new imports and new approvals until due counts trend down. Triage: suspend cards you no longer care about, fix ambiguous prompts that cause repeated lapses, and reschedule ethically within Anki rather than rating "easy" dishonestly. Resume small approved batches only after daily reviews feel sustainable again.
What goes wrong if you skip steps
Cramming clears today's number but destroys interval integrity—you will relive the backlog within two weeks with weaker retention.
You are done when…
- New imports paused during recovery.
- Ambiguous cards edited or suspended—not repeatedly failed.
- Daily review target set to a sustainable minute count.
- Resume approvals only after three stable review days.
