I haven't studied for over a week for no decent let alone good reason whatsoever and I am struggling to get back into my habits. Any suggestions on how I could do it?
Even with small stuff, it feels like I suddenly lost all of my motivation as soon as the Christmas holidays (and summer [i live in the Southern Hemesphere where white Christmases are not a thing]) started...(me tight now)
Edit: Sorry if this seems like a personal dilemma. I understand if I get banned
Maybe it's a matter of timing? Find an appropriate time slot where you know you won't be distracted and do your quizzing/studying then. Start small to build the habit, then slowly add more as you need it (or as motivation allows it). E.g. I do my quizzing in the morning right after I wake up, before I even get out of bed. Anything I don't get done then won't get done at all.
Give yourself a small treat for completing a certain number of questions. For example, I really like jelly beans, so something like 1 jellybean per 10 questions. I used this to good effect when I fell months behind studying (not Japanese related). After that, I made an effort not to fall more than a few days behind on studying, as it starts to get overwhelming quickly.
I think you can pause your schedules on renshuu too, so that your reviews don't start piling up while you take a break.
