Sorry for the delay, just got off work.

I more or less followed the DJT (Daily Japanese Thread) guide, starting back when that thread was on /a/. It got kicked off and split into threads on /jp/ and /int/ afterwards. There are two websites that host a form of that guide:
https://djtguide.neocities.org/guide.html
https://itazuraneko.neocities.org/

Generally, this process involves three major components:
1) Initial study of grammar through traditional methods
2) Vocabulary expansion through spaced-repitition-system (SRS) vocab flash cards.
3) Language acquisition via "N+1" language exposure (based on the input hypothesis of linguist Stephen Krashen), which in essence means "keep reading things in Japanese that are slightly harder than what you can read comfortably, and repeat until you're fluent."
Step 1 is done first, took me a few months. Steps 2 and 3 are done in parallel.

Again, I did this on top of living an extremely busy and committed life. It is hard. But it's not impossible, that's just an excuse for people who are lazy.
