If you waste your time changing everything all the time then you will still suck. However some methods are clearly superior to others in some areas. For vocabulary for example, SRS with sentences and reading 'your current level +1' texts are both quite a bit more effective than revising pen and paper word lists without context and reading the dictionary.

I agree that both method and time are important. Right now I'm at the beginning of Remembering The Kanji, but in reading some posts on RevTK, I realized that the All Japanese All The Time method could be tweaked a little bit. My main goal is to use a method that will get me to fluency as quickly as possible and in a thorough method. I think I have the first two or three stages planned out now, so I'm after it. :) (Found you through a search for RTK on wordpress.com). I agree that both method and time are important.
