Also I didn't specifically mention it, but don't be afraid to adjust your Anki settings a bit. The default settings are kinda wonky, it only shows you a new card once and then again 10 minutes later and then assumes you will know it forever, and if you fail it a single time it gets reset back to 0. That is very unforgiving if you have a lapse of memory or a bad day in general. I have added a 60 minutes step in order to see if I still remember the card after taking an extended break (I usually let more than 60 minutes elapse), some people even add another 24h step so they don't get immediately penalized for not remembering something after the first day. I have set my Lapse Interval to 40%, that means If i fail a card that I last saw 100 days ago, I will see it again in 40 days and the interval can build back up from there. With the default settings, the card would basically go back to 0 entirely, but just because you got a card wrong doesn't mean there aren't some remnants of it left in your memory. The exact numbers here are a matter of trial and error but I recommend reading up on it at least. I'm sure the guides mention this, but it's very important so I thought it'd mention it.

For mining with Yomichan, be sure to always include a sentence and (if possible/available) the audio and a screenshot on the back side of the card to boost your retention. If you associate specific words with specific images, I find they stick better. I've learned a couple of thousand words this way and I could almost immediately tell you where I mined them from and in what context just because I remember the screenshots. It's important to "forge a bond" with the words you mine like that, it makes remembering much easier. I've mined anime, books, games, manga, FBK tweets, anything really. You should get into the habit of doing that asap.
