How are you handling it as a self-learner?

I've actually completed N3, but doing any kind of self-study has been a snooze. Literally. I keep falling asleep when reading, writing, talking to myself, listening or watching.

Doesn't matter if it's at home or at the library. At a desk, couch or bed. Day or night. Doesn't matter if it's my favourite anime or just some educational content.

I think studying with others who are at the same level towards the same goal is what has always worked for me.

Problem is, I lost my job not long ago, so I can't afford teachers or access to other fluent speakers for awhile. And my friends who know Japanese are in Japan while I'm back home, which makes it difficult to coordinate.

Any recommendations or ideas appreciated. Thank you.
