I'm planning to go through my textbook 1 chapter/week as well. 20 (+ 1/2) chapters to go and that will only bring me up to ~N4 grammar wise *uhhh* well but I started to get my toes wet with N3 grammar as well.
I used to listen to music when washing the dishes or cleaning the appartment and I've been slowly replacing that with Japanese learning stuff. I'm not yet doing that everyday (sometimes I just need my "brain off"-time I guess
) but even if it's only sometimes, it's more or less effortless extra study time.
Currently I'm listening to the 日本語の森 N3文法 series. My aim isn't to remember all the patterns for now (or be able to use them :O), but to gain some basic familarity with the patterns. So that when I stumble across them in other contexts I might be able to recognize them.
As I said my knowledge is a bit messed up anyway. But I noticed for my grammar studies, that I find it much easier to progress, when a new pattern doesn't seem completely new and alien to me, but I've seen it a couple of times beforehand. So my goal for N3 grammar for now is to become counsciously aware of all the new patterns!
Sadly the nihongonomori n3 bunpou series was never properly wrapped up, (apparently they never got around to do the last 6 episodes :/ ) but it still covers a lot and that's pretty cool ^^ I'm not yet sure what I'll to after that. I'll probably listen to it again from the start and then move on to other stuff. There's a vocab series as well, but I don't know if that makes so much sense when I'm only listening. I can't see the kanji that way and besides it seems to be much more dense materialwise so it might need more focused attention anyway... uhhh well, don't know yet I guess ^^
