I’ve been studying Japanese for 5 years and I’m N3 at best (I did the exam in December, I don’t know if I passed it yet).

My daily routine:

• Flashcards: 15-30 minutes.
• Grammar flashcards: 15-30 minutes.
• Reading: 15 minutes.
• Watching stuff: 30 minutes (mix of JA+EN and JA+JA).
• Conversation: 30 minutes.
• Listening: 20 minutes.

I feel I should be progressing much faster. Moreover, my retention for vocabulary is abysmal (maybe 60% on the average session; I do my flashcards on JPDB). What am I doing wrong?
