Pick a baseline you can actually sustain
A useful starting point in TimeToTime is a Max Learning Queue Size of about 5. That keeps concurrent new cards manageable while still creating daily progress.
If your schedule is tight, protect consistency first and keep the queue stable before increasing anything else.
Use this adjustment rule each week
Your daily target should respond to retention, not ambition.
- Increase only when reviews stay calm and accuracy remains high.
- Hold at around 5 when recall quality is decent but effort is high.
- Reduce when errors spike or review debt grows.
Progress is not linear
You will have periods where progress feels flat, then periods where placement and recall suddenly speed up. That is normal in timeline learning.
Missing a day is normal too. The real metric is whether your weekly rhythm survives interruptions and resumes quickly.
How TimeToTime Helps You
TimeToTime gives you direct control over learning load and then reinforces memory through spaced review.
- Set Max Learning Queue Size to around 5 to avoid overloading concurrent new cards.
- Learning and revising phases distribute work so each session stays focused.
- Correct answers increase spacing; weak dates resurface sooner.
- Difficult dates get routed for extra practice until recall stabilises.
Takeaway
Set your daily target based on consistency and review health. The right pace is the one you can keep.
