Emk's advice is spot on for me too, and I've tried different flash card schedules ranging from inputting hundreds a day, where I quickly burned out, to one card a day for a fun experiment that quite didn't get past the first furlong. I now simply aim to queue up about 10 new phrases in my target language every day I study, and keep an eye on the total "Cards by Due Date (SR)" in the app I use on my phone (Flashcards Deluxe) to ensure it doesn't go over 50 reviews in the week ahead. If it is set to go over 50 reviews, I temporarily scale back my daily intake, and think about excluding (but not deleting) cards a bit more aggressively that make me repeatedly "groan" (as emk so aptly puts it). And if I fall ill or happen to skip several days due to other commitments, and those flash cards pile up in the meantime, I simply just use the "Push Back Due Dates" facility to bring the number of cards due for review today back to normal.
