highly discourage this method. "reviewing" starts taking too long and one starts procrastinating.

My method is better than processing each card you decide to add, which breaks your reading workflow and discourages you from adding more cards.

i copy and paste stuff i want to learn to a text file, and when i have down time go into it and turn it into question/answer/tag.

once everything is done i import it into anki

This is a good workflow. Definitely better than mine. However, I don't think it will work well for cloze cards.
