I quit my Job, and started Heisig

Well, I reached a breaking point at work, and decided to quit. Now it seems like all the motivation for learning Japanese has been removed (no more Japanese coworkers), but I'm going to continue. There are 2 reasons for this.

One, I've spent over 200 hours on Japanese so far, and I hate to see that go to waste. I reached a comfortable in Thai after about 300 hours, and 2 trips to Thailand. Japanese might take a little longer, but that 200 hour down payment is a great start.

Two, I think I've solved the kanji puzzle. I've found a great method surfing Amazon the other day. Remembering the Kanji I by James Heisig (RTK1) is a book that teaches the meanings and how to draw all the Joyo (basic 2000 or so) kanji. It doesn't teach the readings at this point - that's done in book 2. But his philosophy of "divide and conquer" seems to be just what I need, after proving to myself trying to do everything at once is impossible. Here is a free pdf of the first 113 pages that describes the method.
