For those self-studying... How do you keep yourself going?

What are you using?
I’m using WaniKani, the textbook みんなの日本語 and graded readers. I have no problem keeping up with WaniKani and the graded readers, but the textbook is more difficult. I like it and the structure it gives (I like WaniKani but I don’t think I’m a fan of learning via apps otherwise) but it’s so easy to just not open my textbook. I was doing a study log which I thought was helping so maybe you can think about that. Master List of Study Logs
I just have to constantly remind myself why I’m learning. I don’t need to learn Japanese, which doesn’t help. But if I want to understand an interview with my favorite band or read a book that won’t ever be translated, then I need to keep studying.
