I’ve been on level 7 for nearly two years, I don’t think I could go any more slowly. It just takes so long to unlock each batch of lessons now. Part of it is just that I don’t have time to review, at all. So when I do do reviews, my results are terrible. So then it goes even slower.

After two years, do you still have items in apprentice? Do you have time for any of your other Japanese related studies? I would recommend you either reset to your lowest level that isn’t all burned, or reset to zero. Then try to find at least one (preferably two or more) time slot in the day where you can sit down and do the reviews.
What does a typical day look like for you, if you don’t mind me asking?

Work and sleep. I work 2-10pm (in actuality more like 2-12pm, I just only get paid for 8 of those hours), go home eat, try to get my 8 hours sleep, get up around 9 or 10 am, do errands, and just generally take care of life, eat, go to work, repeat.
When I joined WK I had tons of downtime at work that I could use to do reviews etc; but workload took a sudden jump about a year ago and there went my best opportunities for doing reviews. Now I’m squeezing them in here and there and usually too distracted or tired to properly concentrate. Where before I could blast through a big pile at once, now I’m lucky if i can get ten done in a row - sometimes I’m just doing one or two at a time. 
And yes, I still have items in apprentice. Worse, I have leeches. ALL KINDS of leeches. I have tried the leech script and I’m not sure how it’s supposed to work - I guess with the re-order script so you bring up the leechy items more often and get them off the list faster?
My thinking with trying to find a way to learn/guru/burn the radicals and kanji first and then vocab is that the radicals and kanji are simpler lessons and quicker to burn, so I’d make more progress and have more of a foundation before memorising the vocab. And the vocabulary would go quicker then because i’d be more familiar with the underpinnings of how Japanese words are constructed, similar to how knowing Latin bases of words helps you learn their meanings quicker or even guess at their meanings when you come across a new word.
Which leech script? I don’t think any of them change actual review order.
No, that’s why I assume they have to be used in conjunction with a reorder script. I can’t remember which one I looked at.
basically, I need a better strategy here than what I’ve been doing. Because frankly, when I do have time to come on WK, I’m usually more inclined to hang out in the forums because my brain is tired from the rest of my day.
The one I built has to be used with Self Study, for what that’s worth.
