From now on you will have to come up with stories, because all you get is the keyword -> the kanji -> the primitive element names. If you can't be bothered with writing your own stories, use those other members have written. It will get easier, with maybe some difficult kanji in between, but you will be able to handle them as well. Just review regularly and you will be fine.

Yep, use the stories found here: http://kanji.koohii.com/study

Pretty much my routine is:

1) In bed before I go to sleep, I go through RTK book and read the next 25 Kanji.
  a) I look at the kanji and keyword and then write it down on an index card
2) During the day at work or on my PC at home the following day I will do Anki.
  a) If a new card, I try to remember it from the night before (only like 15% success rate for me; however the writing of it comes easily).  If I get it wrong or right I will take go to the study page here and grab a story from it to put into the card on Anki (I have javascript on the card that hides the story unless my mouse is hovering over the keyword).
  b) If a review card, I try to do it purely from memory.  If I can do this then I select easy or very easy.  If I need to hover over the keyword to get the story, I will select hard or easy (easy if I needed the story for one element or positioning).  If I get any part of it wrong I will select Again.

EDIT: When doing Anki, I use graph paper to write the kanji (2x2 square).
