I seem to be a 3-day-monk! I mean, I'll work diligently for a week or so, 10+ hours of listening, 20 or so kanji, and as many reviews as I can a day... (in the kanji area im not very hardcore, but I do work, at least) Then I'll have one 'family day' where Im out of the house for more than 5 hours and its gone. All of it. My momentum freezes and I sit in silence, or worse, listening to english TV. I think the main thing that makes it hard to start back up is imputing Kanji to my SRS... Are there any tips anyone has for making that fun again? Ive just passed the 100 mark but Ive only put in 79 kanji, because it just seems boring. I know I should put them in so I can reveiw them, but I cant seem to focus... I get destracted and start looking up anime or anything else. So if anyone could give me tips I would be more than happy.

I read the first 20 or so introductionary pages to Heisigs sample e-book yesterday night, I wasn't very involved and kind of did it one eye on the text and the other on my phone. and today when I woke up I continued browsing this website for more information and help before I made the commitment to immerse myself. In the first lesson of his book, there was a couple of base kanjis, 三 and 日 being 2 of them. And when I saw 三日坊主 I instantly recognized the first 2 characters as "three" and "day", and my world just stopped right there and I had this weird sensation, like when you stare at an optical illusion for a while before finally figuring it out. The moment when the pictures snap in place and everything aligns in your head. It was the ending of "The Sixth Sense" and Bruce Willis is my Three-Day Monk. It wasn't very big, but the moment it happened I knew that I had to give this system a shot, to pursue that sensation and attempt to repeat it. So I thank you.
