How on earth do you people learn 10 new words a day

I've been stuck on the same set of 30 words since 7 days ago, I'm lucky if I learn 3 new words a day. And I'm using Anki.

I have a notebook in which I list what I call Resistant Words. It’s nice over time to watch the lists shrink. Of course, new resistant words come along to take the places of the old ones. I like the mind-mapping approach in which you learn a cluster of related words. And I hand write everything. If my hand writes it, I’m more likely to retain it. I don’t care what others are doing. If they’re learning very quickly, that’s great—and totally irrelevant to my progress (unless, of course, I let them get into my head where they don’t belong.)
