Every week I put time aside for it. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons since those are my days off. Have been doing this for a few years. Before, every week I would look forward to doing it, and I could easily study away for like 4-5 hours each time. Didn't even feel like studying. I enjoyed it so much was it was just a hobby. But now when I start I get tired instantly and just lose any feelings of wanting to do it. I have nothing else to do at these times so I'd be sitting home bored, but even that seems better than studying now.
The problem is that if I take a break then I'm worried it will all be forgotten. I went on holiday in November last year. I was away for about 4-5 weeks. When I came back I had forgotten how to write so many kanji. A bigger break will probably have me starting over. Honestly, I think part of the reason might be due to me showing 0 progress despite how many hours I put in. If anything, I'm noticing that I'm getting worse.
