Tooo many anki cards

Hi so i'm in med school rn and everyone is using anki and it does work but i just feel like i'm using it wrong. I have like 1000 cards to review everyday and i never get around to revewing cards cause i keep getting lectures i need to learn cards for and its a little overwhelming and yesterday i spent like an hour and a half on 7 anki cards that i just couldn't get through my head. ik someone who has got it figured out but like i'm kind of drowning in anki cards and i keep just doing new ones to stay on top of work and don't actually review most of them cause i would do a bunch one day and then the reviews are almost always the next day but by then i would have had 5 more lectures i need to understand watch and then do sooo help? pls
