Im doing the ajatt method of kanji first, then sentences. Right now im still on the kanji phase, but im finding that just srsing is kinda boring. i dont want to go to sentences just yet. so im wondering what if anything i should or could i be doing instead of just srsing all the time in order to learn kanji?

Are you doing RTK? If not, then you should at least try it.

Just keep watching tv with or without subtitles doesn't matter. Listen to music. Learn hiragana and katakana. Practice reading those. You don't need to do anything but exist in Japanese and turn the English off. No need to rush it be aware Of how much you don't understand and be happy when you do.

Like Khatzumoto says so many times; do whatever works for you. Don't just grind kanji if it's boring for you. I'm in the kanji stage as well, and whenever I get bored of kanji I watch some anime, first with subtitles and then without. Since I watched it with subtitles first I know what's going on when I watch it without. I've managed to pick up a few words this way. It might not be as efficient as grinding kanji or grammar, but that doesn't matter to me since I'm having fun and I'm learning something. The whole idea of AJATT is to have fun learning Japanese. If your not having fun, then why bother?

I started sentences after 500 kanji, and after 1000 or so, I started taking them from native material. Find a textbook or a reader to start practicing your reading skills and watch anime/doramas/etc. to keep yourself entertained.
Tip:
Start with plowing through a textbook or two and then learn from your favourite shows, websites, games, etc. (write them down, or underline them if they're in books and then enter them into anki at a later point; no need to SRS 6000 dictionary-like textbook sentences just because this website's dochtrine says so).

You could try doing a RTK lite, which at first only covers 500 (then another 500 in step 2) kanji. Then learn vocab/sentences which use the RTK lite Kanji.
