it is scary to break that chain as Anki is not a problem if used regularly. but when you first start there is a lot of work setting up and going through all the cards and not just the one you need. more you use it longer it takes to get back in. like entire weekend long. it is number one reason people dont use card system even when it is known it is best study method.

Yeah, that was my reaction the first time I broke the habit ("scary" seeing 100s of cards for review). But I got through it quickly. Now the issue really is just the habit, I'm not doing it daily and barely getting it in 2-3 times a week. I've managed to restore my exercise routine after work, now I need to restore my study routines.
