    I'm rewatching this for the first time since it came out and realised I've pretty much never used timeboxing in that work/leisure combination. I'd assumed the leisure part had meant non-study type immersion and had just been using my leisure slots for watching youtube and netflix in my TL. Very glad I rewatched, switching between non-language learning activities with timeboxing will definitely help me get back into my TL after taking a break. I've gotten so much use of of timeboxing for reading and doing anki related tasks, wouldn't have made as much progress without it. Fantastic video

    I'm not quite sure whether I've really understood, but it kind of sounds similar to the pomodoro technique where you have "sprint"-intervals of 25 minutes and breaks of 5 minutes. Your 5-7min goal-goal intervals seem a bit short to me though as you usually need some time to mentally switch into your task and find full focus. Personally, when I'm doing a high focus task and get interrupted i.e. by someone demanding my attention and talking to me, it takes me about 3-5 minutes to completely get back into full focus and no other thoughts are crossing my mind anymore. So, taking a 25 min interval, the first 5 minutes are way less effective than the following 20 (or at least the following 15 min as it's hard to stay fully focused for more than 15 minutes). But I'd definitely appreciate a good timer add-on for anki. So far, I'm using a pomodoro-timer. And btw., how is the development of the Anki-editor add-on for current Anki versions going¿ :)

    This is cool! cheers. I've done something slightly similar switching between anki decks to persist with reps, but this strategy is better. I already tried it while watching the video and got a load of extra reps done. This could increase anki work capacity dramatically nice! I see a great use for this approach. This strategy does seem different from what's commonly called timeboxing though.

Dude, an anki add-on for timeboxing would be INSANE! My workload would never be done without timeboxing! I wish I had money, so I could endorse Yoga to make these faster.... specifically the timeboxing and the new SRS....

    Definitely would be interested in an anki add on for timeboxing. It reminds me of the pomodoro technique, but I stopped using it cuz I thought that I shouldn't be wasting my time on rest when I could be studying more(Don't worry I do take breaks but they're usually between 1 hour intervals). So I'm really interesting in the goal-goal timeboxing.

    Just tried this with my anki reviews. I average 45-50 minutes per day in Anki and with 15 minute intervals I finished in roughly 1hr 40 minutes with 50 minutes of review time. It does seem to relieve a lot of stress that I usually have when doing reviews. I think it took a bit longer to learn my 20 new cards due to losing short term memory, but my reviews were a little faster to compensate. I would guess that my retention for the new cards might be a bit better since I took more time before graduating them this time, but only time will tell.

    if you're doing what you say you're doing then you're on the right path, if you're still having problems then i hv 3 theories 1)either you're too tensed and not studying attentively in which case you shoud reduce your work and try to take it slow 2) your material is too easy for you. If this is the case then study using more difficult material 3)you are at the last stage of immersion study. If this is the case then you should be using KZread to mimic the way English speaking youtubers speak. note:You should also make sure that all of the material you're using belongs to one dialect of english as different dialects of english have many differences between them
