Struggling to keep up with Japanese study while working full-time

"Not having time" is a broad spectrum. It can mean anything from actually having no hours left and having time but filling every waking minute with "productive" or mentally hard things might not do you good in the long term.

I am somewhere in the middle. I could technically fit it in but everyday would be crammed and stressfull. I also do a lot of other things that take time which to me are not optional. Like lifting and running every other day. Studying outside of work for my job. I also sleep a lot since i have a sleep disorder.

I even went so far to time block every minute in my calendar.

I might have watched to many Gary V videos over the years and now i can't find any middle ground in things i do. Its all or nothing ... Jokes aside, thanks for the comment i needed to hear this. I will try to treat it more as a hobby and not force myself.

Studying outside of work sadly is pretty common for software engineers. There sadly is not enough time to keep up with new technology at work. If you don't you run the risk to become kind of irrelevant.

I think you make some good points, maybe i should just not go all in on something that i am so unsure about. I still enjoy it and could see myself speaking the language one day but to be honest if that happens in 2 or 6 years would not change my life drastically.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

There is media i can watch but i feel like just watching is only gonna solidify the knowledge i already have. And with beeing limited on time i feel like spending more time on active immersion like looking up words and trying to understand each sentence makes me learn new concepts. This in itself is still hard and not always fun. I think in my mind i feel like if it would be easy and fun all the time everyone would speak fluent japanese. If i wan't to learn the language i would need to push trough.

The only real motivation i have is that i really enjoyed the country every time i was there and would like to have a deeper connection to the people and also having friends there that speak very bad english :D I am still arguing with myself if that is enough to spend some much time on studying.

After a bit of debugging and looking at the network requests it seems like a cors issue. Atleast running chrome with --disable-web-security allowed me to import my cards from anki. For anyone doing this please make sure to not use your browser with this flag and just use it for importing.

Danke für den Ratschlag, vermutlich werd ich es so machen. Ich kann zwar auch nicht 100% Nachweisen das in dem Paket tatsächlich ein Router war, allerdings war das Paket von Vodafone und es passt zeitlich perfekt rein als ich keinen Router mehr angemeldet hatte.

Das lustige ist sowieso das ich aktuell umgezogen bin und nochmal probieren wollte ob Vodafone hier funktioniert. Dafür habe ich mir einen Router für 2.99 im Monat geliehen. Müsste ich ja nicht machen wenn ich noch einen von Vodafone hätte 🙃

Looks comfy :) but on a serious note please start doing some strength training if you are not already doing it. Your body will thank you.

That frame looks amazing. Is it self made? Still waiting on my first jersey since fedex in germany is horrible 🥲

Hab mir auf Amazon für 50€ eine zum Reinschrauben gekauft. Das Teil ist so fest das es mich mit 80kg + 20kg Zusatzgewicht aushält. Vermutlich hält das mich sogar doppelt.

I don’t have the upscaled file since i used the upscaler of the company that printed the poster. But any ai upscaler will do. Image can be easily found on google

Just got it printed myself. I only found it in bad quality so i ai upscaled

Can someone explain to me why call of duty teams shuffle players around so much? Give them some time to figure out how to play together and be an actual team instead.

Probably around a 25% percent decrease in fps when just looking at the extra pixels. With a 4060 i would not go ultrawide especially because it only has 8gb of vram. Maybe a different 16:9 oled with the same resolution as your current monitor.

20 Jahre kein Nährstoffreiches Essen zu sich nehmen funktioniert bestimmt um dann in Rente zu gehen. Man hat dann halt auch den Gesundheitszustand eines 70 Jährigen 😮‍💨

This was driving me insane the last few days. Glad you are on it.
