Filthy, embarrassed EOP trying to be less filthy, less embarrassed, and less EOP

So I'm in the process of learning Japanese to overcome my crippling clipfag dependency. In the last few weeks, I've memorized hiragana and katakana (writing/recognizing the characters and speaking/recognizing the corresponding sounds) as per the recommendation of pretty much every source I could find on the subject. But at this juncture, I'm not entirely sure how to proceed.
Should I focus EXCLUSIVELY on learning kanji (the 2,200 or so most commonly used kanji, that is), or should I integrate kanji memorization with grammar and sentence structure learning? That's my main dilemma right now; I want to approach this efficiently, if not optimally.
To clarify, I'm not looking for specific resources—I think I have the tools I need. I'm looking for general, authentic guidance from anyone who's achieved some degree of proficiency. Advice on what approach to take from this point onward would be appreciated.
