I don’t really know why I stopped using WaniKani, I am only on level 2 and the reviews aren’t really too much since I have lots of free time. I just skipped a day because I was too busy and the next day I thought “Meh, I had a break yesterday so I will have a break today too, I’ll do it tomorrow.” Then the next day I thought “Maybe I should just knock these reviews out tomorrow since it will be a Saturday.” Then the next day I forgot about WaniKani. A week later I notice WaniKani bookmarked on top of my toolbar and I thought “Ok I’m watching a Dangonronpa playthrough right now so I will wait until I have a day where I have literally nothing to do and then I will continue WaniKani.” Now it’s over two weeks later and I forgot about WaniKani (again) and then I got an email from WaniKani saying that I should get back into learning or at least they hope I am using a different learning site. For some reason that got me motivated to use WaniKani again. So here I am
It’s hard to establish a rhythm in the first few levels, but once you’ve got it, it’s a matter of just not skipping days. Even if you only have 5 mins to do 10 reviews, it builds a habit and that will make it easier to keep going!
Rhythm is definately key, like @rwesterhof said before. I had a weird schedule to start with, trying to do reviews multiple times a day, but once I just started doing them once every morning, I’ve kept my streak going and I do it really without thinking now, it’s just part of my day.
good luck 
Check your reviews as often as you check your feed. Commit to five minute segments and with time it can become a habit. Set goals. Guru is a word I strive to hear for every kanji and every vocab. I cannot rest until I reach Guru. Burned is a statement of real accomplishment and fuels my motivation to keep pushing forward because rarely do I feel confident enough to allow anything to get there unless I know it blind.
I believe in you!
You can continue to learn the kanjis, just keep going and you will see progress!
This is a post that I made about learning kanji and motivation, feel free to check it out!
