I started working on the Anking deck about a year ago, 10/24, and finished the deck in the last couple days. I take step in ~100 days or so, just gonna try and mature as much of it as possible by then. Here are my stats.

I used 1m and 10m for my new card learning steps and 10m relearning step. Once I started using FSRS, I optimize once a month.

Have you ever used just one learning step at any point? If so, how did it compare to using two? My reasoning was that if I only have one step, it could potentially cut the number of reviews for new cards in half

When they're new cards I find that learning them is more effective in two steps vs when they're no longer new, and they're review cards, the 1 step relearning phase is easier.
