In a week I will reach 10,000 words in Anki yay! 
I started to use the dictionaries more now and I add more "Notes"/"Sentences" in order to get more context.
I paused RTK1 at 872 frames to learn the Onyomi readings of the kanji I had learnt so far after reading about the Movie Method. What I did was I treated each different sound as a Heisig "primitive" (that I invented) and then simply added this word to each story (or made a new story with this word). Basically the sound was treated as a "primitive" that was part of the kanji itself.
The primitives all somehow had an association with the sound they were representing, and were almost always people, locations, or movies/shows/games.
(In the graph, blue=RTK frames, red=onyomi, the other lines are how many frames I did that day and a moving average)
So after 14 days I caught up with all the kanji I've learnt so far, so I can go back to RTK and I'm going to try learning both the onyomi and the kanji at the same time.
My RTK deck has about a 93% success rate, and I rushed-ish my Onyomi deck for a 88-90% success rate, but this deck doesn't have anything mature yet.

I just finished studying everything on N2 Soumatome Kanji, while adding every word I didnt know to anki.
Now I wonder what I should study between grammar, reading or more vocab...
Congratulations! What I suggest you could do is to study more vocabulary, this is what I did, while doing KO.2001 which is Kanji Odyssey, and also while working with the 総まとめ vocabulary book. During my reviews I had a word file open, and copied some words that seemed interesting out. After my Anki session I started up Google, and did a search with each of the words, and started reading. This way you can observe the words in their natural habitat, and you might also find a topic that interests you, and while you are reading about it, you can learn more vocabulary. So long as you don't care that you will not understand everything, you should be fine, don't worry about it and just do it.

This sounds very interesting. I'm really in need of some reading experience atm, though I still get bored if I find too many words/expressions I dont understand... But will try doing this at least a few times.
Well, I just made it to 1183 Kanji in RTK1, after a short hiatus and catching up with 900 reviews.... So I guess now I'm starting the long ride down to the finish line
やった！！i fiiiinally spent a whole month with something closely resembling a normal sleeping pattern!!! i didn't go round the clock once!!! i even had an early night a couple of times when i was tired!!!!!
This month also marks 3 years of learning (or drifting with) japanese for me. And also, in a way, the end of that period in my life. i'll keep up with japanese as much as i can, but i'm going to be turning the internet off a lot and living a different life next. I'm excited to see what happens next!!! ^_^ gl everyone...

You're leaving us (again)? 
Sounds great good luck in your endeavors.

Hope you succeed in your new endeavor. I hope you don't completely turn yourself from the Internet (always remember, the Internet is an amazing resource as well as a very bad thing as well). Just use to it to your advantage.
