I reached a 1000 day Anki streak on September 23, 2022. Using it primarily for learning the language Spanish and Mandarin, I've dedicated anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes a day ensuring that my streak never dies. On top of the 495 card daily average, this program controlled me for over a quarter of a decade, tampering with my sleep cycle, my stress, and my happiness. After I reached 1000 days, how did I change my toxic relationship with this program?
