I avoid boredom by rotating my subjects. Most schools and universities
rotate their subjects, with no lecture longer than one hour.

I would initially devote one-quarter of my daily time to each subject
(but see later).

Another advantage of doing your subjects in parallel is that you will
quickly find out if one subject is much more difficult than the
others. If you study the subjects in sequence, then the worst scenario
would occur when you (unwittingly) leave the most difficult subject to
the end. This is commonly referred to as panic :)

Assume you enter 20 cards at each rotation.  Assume that the 20 cards
from the most difficult subject are (unwittingly) entered during the
fourth rotation. Then you'll find out after 60 cards that one subject
is very difficult.

But if you study the subjects in sequence, then you might need to
enter 600 cards before you find the difficult subject.

I said earlier that I might start by devoting one-quarter of my time
to each subject. But obviously, if most of the difficult questions are
in one subject, then Mnemosyne will cause more of those questions to
be scheduled earlier. Questions from the easier subjects will be
pushed quickly into the future. (This is one of the advantages of
using Mnemosyne.)

So, obviously after a few weeks, you might find that the proportions
of time spent on each subject are related to the difficulties of the
subjects.
