It actually feels kind of like a weird conservation-law violation? No matter how many cards I write, it seems I can soak them up by spending ten minutes or less per day. I assume that at some point I'll hit a limit, but it's way, way higher than I thought it was!

(Most of the time, I use a limit to introduce only ~40 new cards each day, which nicely smooths out the considerable day-to-day variation in my card creation rate)

Is it too much to ask for what actual card/cards of yours look like? Have you gotten "better" at making cards the longer you've used the system?
-
Sure, here’s one. Yes, I definitely get better with time. See also http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html pic.twitter.com/mAH0psdjtW

Do you think the fact you create the cards yourself plays a role? I.e. do you remember them better because you put work into making them?
-
I think the act of making them is part of forming a densely connected network of understanding. I don't know that it makes learning the card reliably faster, but I think it increases the value of the successfully-learned card (i.e. it's better-connected to other knowledge).

Do you find yourself suspending or burying cards often? I'd expect that to be more frequent if you kept adding cards indiscriminately.
-
I’d say something like 1:200 or 1:300. More often they get refactored into different cards and deleted.
