Hi everybody! I hope there's no problem in asking this. I tried looking for information or other advices, but I would like some specific advice, so let me explain my situation.
I've been studying Japanese sporadically over a lot of years. In 2023, I passed the N3, but I passed it barely. I tried to self-study, but because I had my work, I mostly used Anki for vocabulary and kanji and I briefly checked the Shin Kanzen Master N3 Grammar book. I'm still surprised I passed.
I'm still working, but right now I have less work (I'm freelance) so I wanted to take this chance to go back to study again and make a habit. My ideal goal would be reviewing all N4 and study N3 in the first half of the year, and then, try to prepare N2 in the second half of this year. My end goal would be reaching that N2 level so I could try working by translating Japanese texts (I currently translate from English into my native language). My problem is that I'm bad at making a studying schedule or how to organize what I'm going to study in what order. I know more or less I can dedicate two hours/day for studying, but I'm not sure how to properly study when I'm doing it by myself (for example, when I studied N4, I joined a course, but there are no courses for my level in my city).
So what can I do about organizing the content I'm studying from now on? I know this can be quite an open question, but any advice would be helpful.
