I use Anki as a notebook to review from instead of a flashcard app. Am I wasting time?

I'm asking this because right now I have 200 reviews due.
When I have 20 new cards and 60-70 reviews, (that's been the average recently,) it takes me around 90 minutes to complete it if "I do it right." Some things I do: I'll repeat a card if I even miss one letter. I'll go on Wiktionary to add some declensions to the card. I'll check if a word perhaps has another meaning. I'll basically repeat everything until I get bored, or until I feel satisfied with the amount I've learned, and will just fail any cards I haven't then "studied really hard" so that they'll appear within the next three days.
What do you guys think of this?
The biggest negative is it causes me to miss more days. How bad does it mess with the algorithm?
