I'm kind of taking it slow and not really shooting directly for JLPT although passing N3 would be a feather in my cap at some point. I'm more into understanding media which I'm finally feeling is within reach.
I guess I'm the one who's crazy to attempt to go over N2+ content in my first year of study (started last year on Sep 15).
N2 in a year is really ambitious. I'm jealous that even seems like an option to you. I've been at this over 3 years and it's going at a glacial pace. I don't really think languages are my forte, but I'm going to do learn this language if it kills me.

I know input is super important, but if there's one thing I make sure to do daily with top priority, it's to review my flashcards. The system becomes so messy if you skip days that I'd probably give up on it if that happened and start focusing on maximum amounts of input to compensate for it. Not sure if "compensante" is the right word though, since that might actually be a better approach anyway. Kinda hard to know imho.I usually have about 400 reviews that I clear every day. About 2 weeks ago, I started on a project that had me coming home at 2am and waking up at 6:30am the next day (weekends excluded). The company ordered in food for lunch and dinner so I didn't even have my usual lunch hour to knock out a few reviews over lunch. Fortunately, that job was a quick turn-around and only lasted 9 days. But 9 days is long enough to rack up 2k reviews. fortunately I found just enough time to finish the 2 decks that I've been adding to lately, so the backlog is mostly older cards that I won't completely forget.
