For any of those who were interested in the mild madness that was the recent RtK power-run I did, I am now starting the second phase of this 日本語 journey: sentences.
二フアイス：万文
Phase 2: learn 10, 000 Japanese sentences. Deadline: 1st April 2013.
Pretty simple, really. Starting with Tae Kim's Grammar Guide deck in Anki, followed by the UBJG deck, then onto whichever core deck is suitable at that point. After that the rest will probably end up being a 'soft-reset' with J-J sentences.
Will probably update this post every now and then when I reach the half-way point in a deck, or start the next one, or something.

Update: 6 week challenge (not the official one)
Thanks to EasyJapanezy's thread:

decided to start an unofficial "6 week challenge", using the official guidelines, to kick study back into gear (and try to pick myself up out of a bout of minor depression) and "level-up" my Japanese level. Starting from 7am tomorrow morning (12年/12月/13日) and going to be "hitting the books" roughly as hard as during RtK, only this time with experience and a premeditated study format.
Due to personal reasons I have the next six weeks in many respects entirely free. For whatever reasons I am obsessed with writing out the logistics of my plans, so here goes:
Basic daily structure will revolve around reading from references and grammar guides [study] followed by reviewing related questions in Anki (two pre-made decks and two decks made over the past week or so) [review]. A basic yet effective study-> review loop. Nothing complex. As for numbers:
Daily:-
Reading:
A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar: 45 pages [16-61];
A Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar: 22 pages [55-77];
Japanese the Manga Way: 56 pages [progressive];
Tae Kim's Grammar Guide: 63 pages [progressive].
Anki:
Basic Conjugation Deck, 100 cards;
Japanese the Manga Way Deck, 100 cards;
Tae Kim's Grammar Guide (Nukemarine's deck) Deck; 100 cards.
At roughly 3 minutes a page (reading) and 1 minute per card (Anki) this provides 14.3 hours a day. This will most likely not happen, and in all honesty it will probably end up closer to 6~7 hours of reading with 4 hours of Anki. Which is still 210 hours in the first 3 weeks. Probably a lot more than could ever be done in a classroom setting.
After the three week period, both JtMW and TK reading will be dropped entirely (they should be well and truly be well-read by that point), and both DoJG will only be used for purely grammatical references when coming across an unsure of structure/pattern. This frees up a lot of time for focus on dominating the Core vocab decks on Anki, reading through volumes 1~11 of よつばと！, and continuing daily Anki reviews. Essentially aiming to increase vocabulary while Anki is doing it's job helping the internalization progress of grammatical patterns, allowing for a higher level of reading and reaching a point wherein the language can become self-sustaining.
