Alright, so I was going at this steadily, day by day for a while and racked up 250 Kanji. Around this time I started feeling uninspired and I dropped it.

Now it's been a good month or two and I really want to start again, and finding I am having lots of trouble (as expected)

Any tips on getting back to where I was in the least pain inducing manner?

Also, first forum post so whoo to that

If you feel comfortable and remember a good amount of your kanji you can review and continue onwards. If not you can just try to re-review all the kanji up till now giving yourself 0 new cards until you feel confident. If you can't remember a thing though, perhaps it would be in your best interest to start over.

Break up the work into 4 or more segments you do throughout the day when you feel like it and get the work done. 5 new kanji per segment plus X amount of reviews. You'll be at 500, 1000, 1500, 2042 before you know it if you keep it up. and it is relatively painless when broken up. Inbetween segments you can look up stories for the kanji you plan to study to make it that much faster when you get to it.

do all of your study in the morning when you first wake up if you can. That is when I was most likely to get anything done back in the day. Once your Japanese ability gets to a decent level, you will find studying less boring.

First of all, I don't intend to discourage you, I am sure that if you search hard enough you will find that thing that motivated you when you began the first time, however let me tell you, from experience I've found that the Heisig method doesn't seem work for some people. I've seen some pretty smart folks desist from it and even at higher Kanji counts. I don't believe this has to do with anyone's intelligence but the manner in which each person learns and approaches self-study instead.

がんばってね!

That sounds good too

Thank you for all of the replies everyone!

I've decided to re-review all of the cards, not adding any until i've gotten back on my feet.
