How do you stay consistent when trying to learn Japanese long-term?

I’m a few weeks into learning Japanese and already feeling overwhelmed with vocab lists, grammar charts, apps. it’s a lot.

I’ve got hiragana and katakana down but now I’m not sure what to do next.

For anyone who’s been through this stage, what actually helped you stay consistent without burning out or bouncing between too many resources?

Also curious if immersion really works early on or if I should just focus on grammar and vocab first.

Would love to hear what worked for you personally. Thank you!
