Dear *anyone who is learning Japanese, or any other language*, I STRONGLY recommend you create a schedule like this for yourself if you want to further your studies. I have learned the hard way that studying on impulse never tends to work out. If you do create a schedule, and if you follow the schedule religiously, you find that it slips in neatly with the rest of your week, and you can comfortably learn as much as you want while following a self-determined regimen. While keeping this in mind, PLEASE do not over-exert yourself! Learning too much material at one time will inevitably end up in you forgetting the material altogether. Repetition is key in this case, so make sure to review what you have learned responsibly.

Thanks!
