>>2387029Yeah that is the deadly trap of waiting for when you get home because it is so easy to fall into a relaxed state. My job isn't exactly tiring so I don't know if it works as well for you but give it a shot doing it while you are still at work but done for the day, I usually feel like I haven't gotten into "home mode" as long as I am still there, if that makes any sense.
My understanding is pretty good as of now, there are still a lot of details I miss and on bad days I'll feel like I barely understood any details, but the general outline or gist of conversations are almost always understandable, but it doesn't feel like enough unless I also get those details.
If I really sit down with a stream and give it my full focus along with rewinding and re-listening then I won't have much problem understanding it all.
As for my daily routine.
The only thing I do daily to 100% is reps with Anki, I've never skipped reviews ever. The other thing that is most prominent is watching Pekora of course but her streams end when I get home usually, so on the weekdays I'm watching VODs more often than not and if it is a particularly long one it might end up in the backlog.
Aside from those daily things I tend to just read stuff from Twitter, read easier novels, play games in Japanese(DQ11 currently), I've always listened to Japanese music so that gives me something, and if I prepare one I use Minecraft/Zatsudan streams as podcasts for work since I drive a lot.
Gradually starting with new things is another key to learning a language, as soon as you feel like you are comfortable with it then reading easier stuff is a good time investment. Something like Pekora's poems on Twitter are a good starting point, at the beginning they might be hard for you but they are generally pretty formally written and with little slang so it should be a good entry point.
Of course I can't stress it enough to say that you should only take on as much as you feel you can handle, burning yourself out is easy.
