Mining with Migaku Vs Acting watching
Do you all carve out time to sentence and watch content without mining. I have been using Migaku since December and it have really helped me kick start my Japanese! Most of the time I used Migaku to go through everything I watch. Would it be beneficial to have a time for mining and time for just watching?

Just do whichever works best for you, if I’m not in the mood to mine I don’t mine

Overall, I think its important to do what keeps engaged and learning. However, I do think setting aside some time just to watch and not use subtitles is important. Doesn't have to be every day just make sure you get some time in without subs every now and then.
You don't want to be so dependent on subtitles that you can't understand the language spoken without visual aids.
What I'm doing right now is mining a few videos and then after reviewing some terms, I go through the videos again without the subs. That helps reinforce the new words for me and I'm still developing an ear for the language independently.
