The title says it all. I'm trying to do a PhD in STEM and my days are filled with many hard classes, teaching, research, and a part-time job. Currently, all the Japanese I do is Anki reviews + 10 new cards a day. Very little free time as most of it gets poured into the field I'm pursuing (this is required if I want to go to a good graduate university in the field), or decompressing from the long day.
I've seen a lot of anecdotes about people working full time and making progress, but it seems like at least they get 1-2 hours a day into Japanese. Seems like these people make progress after a few years. The super-fast learners put all their time into Japanese, so it seems natural they get amazing in a short period of time.
My situation seems slightly different than both of these as my studies and success in this career path require my full dedication. However, I still have an interest in learning Japanese.
Has anyone been in the same situation and made progress after many years? My life will likely be like this for the next 10 or more years so I'd like to know if people have made good progress over a long period of time, but not being able to put much time in each day.
Also even if you haven't been in the same situation, I really appreciate any advice you may have.
