I am a bit late, but still remembered the whole ā1-month-laterā thing, so here I am again.
Thank you for your reply and advice by the way, I would have replied again but I actually just read it today. For some reason, I didnāt get a notification or e-mail (even though I didnāt turn it off as far as I know).
Anyways, itās been a little over a month now, I reached level 6 yesterday and am still going strong. I mentioned it in my first post here, but your guide actually helps a lot, and I started to notice that even more as I kept doing my lessons and reviews.
The thing helping me the most, that I didnāt do when I first started with Wanikani a few years ago, is having an actual schedule. Knowing how the system works and being able to use it to its utmost efficiency feels great. With the 12-hour-rule in mind, I usually start my day off with lessons (only lessons in the morning, no reviews), to then do my reviews 4-5 hours later, and then do another review session in the evening right before I go to bed. That actually works pretty well, at least usually. Last week I had some trouble with that because I managed to mess up my sleeping schedule quite a bit (no uni and no work are a dangerous combination for someone with little self-control 
) so I had to improvise a bit. But even then, I could just follow the rule. Just do the lessons 12-13 hours before you wanna go to bed. For me, that usually means doing them at ~9 AM, in fact, I just did them before writing this.
As for the volume of lessons I do each day, I usually go for ~20 new lessons every day. I donāt wanna rush WK, but I also donāt wanna take years to finish, especially having in mind that my journey to learning Japanese wonāt just end with Level 60, one might argue thatās when it just begins. My goal, for now, is reaching level 60 within 2 Years. Currently, I am taking roughly 10 days for every level, so with that pace, I should easily be able to make it. 20 Lessons a day is also pretty doable. I know, that I am just level 6, and that the workload will still increase quite a bit, so if it gets too much I of course will slow down a bit. I wanna finish in 2 years, but Iāll still prioritize finishing at all without pushing myself so hard Iāll eventually quit. Atm, I am doing around 100-150 reviews every day, which is still pretty manageable. As long as I donāt have to do more than 150 reviews per session I should be fine. Reviews are actually quite easy, fun even. Of course, youāll always have some vocab and kanji you seem to forget again and again, but apart from those the SRS really seems to work wonders.
All the scripts Iāve installed are amazing as well. Most of them are just little gimmicks that offer cool stats or info, but some of them actually help a lot with studying, like the self-study script for example. I usually go over the new stuff Iāve just learned in a lesson just to make sure I actually got everything, so having a script for that is really useful. I am also using Flaming Durtles on my phone now, instead of the other (more āofficialā?) WK app I used to use back in the day.
I am still very motivated and excited for the later levels. I am also excited to be able to start getting into Japanese reading and grammar once I have enough basic vocab/kanji knowledge. So yeah, maybe Iāll do a post about my progress at a later point in time here again, but for now, I can only repeat myself. Thank you for making that guide and still being so active around here.
