I'm Burning Out and Don't Know What to Do

Would you care to share what is your goal learning Japanese? Do you have a short time goal?

The learning material/apps you use (I have used all of them at some point except for japanese from zero) and including wanikani you kinda put a lot of effort with apps that give you little return overall. Using a learning resource like irodori (it’s free) will give you much more structure to be able to speak japanese in everyday life.
At level 10 on wanikani if you haven’t started yet, you can start reading graded reader or even books for beginners and see where you’re at. Grinding srs apps and depending on their feedback alone leave you stuck in a loop disconnected from the actual reason you learn the language which is being able to use it to either speak, read, listen or watch. Wanikani is a supplementary app, not your end goal, the more you’ll use what you learn the less stressed you’d be about the apps you use. They’re just an aid. Part of the reason people reach burnout is when they do things that get them nowhere, repeatedly. It might be better to use less apps and choose something that you can combine with actual use of Japanese.

But it all really depends on your long term and short term goals, it’s important to have those, since relying on outer sources goals like go up a level is sometimes too abstract.
