(Nearly) stuck on my studying method

#1
Hi there!

I start with a 'sorry' in case I'm writing in the wrong section.

I did the lurker for quite a long time, and now has come the time to ask you for some advice. I'll try to be as short as possible.

I'm quite stuck on my study method, because of time and mental strength lack. Fortunally I finish working quite soon, and everyday -at the latest- at 6pm I'm in front of my PC, ready to study, but of course after 9 woking hours, I'm not that fresh, so I usually do my hour and a half of Anki and then I can't go further. So I'm starting to doubt about my method, since it's getting more and more 'passive'.

I did all RTK1, and I'm revising it everyday with Anki. I'm not very happy about the 'correct' %, but only thing I can do is revising, right? (total correct=84.5%, mature correct=63.1%)

Then I'm at 672 words in "2k/6k core" deck, with tot correct=58.7% and mature correct=65%. I'm adding between 20 and 30 cards everyday. Again: not happy about these % neither, but if I stop adding cards and focus on improve the %, I won't ever finish core 2k.

In addiction to this, I'd really like to start TaeKim and/or start reading something in order to consolidate both words both kanji and both grammar (btw, thank you all for the resources you shared) but as I said: no time and no strength. So here my questions:
- of course at my point (672 cards in 2k/6k deck) I'm not revising all RTK kanjis, but just a part, so: at what point of 2k/6k deck I can say 'I can stop revising RTK because I'm already revising the kanjis in 2k/6k core'? This question is beacuse I'm spending more than 30 minutes a day on RTK deck, and if I could save that time, would be great.
- What do you think on 2k/6k deck? I mean, % are quite low, but does it make sense to stop adding new cards to consolidate the 672 cards aleady 'studied'? I'm not that sure...
- I was thinking on already stopping with RTK and continue with 2k/6k deck + starting with Tae Kim. Worst idea ever?
- I know I might seem (maybe I am) Anki-addicted, but reading comments, experiences, study methods, I think that building the base of "kanji + words + grammar" is the first thing to do, so I need to do in this way.

PS: I read all your studying methods but I found only intermediate (or above) studying methods, so I'm not sure I can adopt them.

Ok, in the end I did a long post, sorry and thanks for your answers. Spit on me or say I'm doing great: every advice/comment is welcome! Smile
