To tell you the truth, this stuff kind of frustrates me.  |
Theres usually a limit to how much the brain can learn in a day. So don't push yourself too hard. Learn 1 or 2 kanji's a day, for a week. And review those kanji for the following week.
The way I learn kanji is through usage. Like read a book a few sentences a day and jot down the new kanjis. Review and test yourself by going back and reading the paragraphs.
Again, don't push yourself too hard take it slow.
BTW stroke order is extremely important, I can't stress this enough. Because many kanji's are alike with each other and knowing the stroke order of a simple kanji like 月 will help you write kanji like 明. Many students of japanese ignore this when they start out kanji, and come to regret it as they learn very hard kanji like 瀞.
