Seeing the number of cards that are due in Anki feels opressive... like, "i have all these cards due and that means i'm not even meeting the 90% retention rate!!!" or something. That's totally the WRONG mental state to be in when you are trying to create new ideas, which is the whole point of having a spaced writing inbox. Spaced inbox review should instead be going like "given that i have such and such limited amount of time to review, what are the BEST NOTES to be spending the review time on?"
