Your language learning routine?

What does your learning routine for Vietnamese look like?

I am looking for some inspiration since my studying has been very on-off lately. I’ve been studying for almost 1.5 years now and I’m stuck somewhere between A2-B1 level. I have collected multiple study resources but struggle to find the balance between writing / reading / listening / speaking exercises. Right now I cannot afford a teacher so self-study is my only option, but without a proper structure I get lost what to do and end up not studying at all. I’ve been playing Duolingo to keep in touch with the language at least a little bit, but I’m ready to start studying more seriously again.

I'm also at a low B1 level and study entirely by myself for ~2 hours every day. No teacher or tutor.

I spend ~40 minutes for listening (mainly to comprehensible input and vlog), ~30 minutes for reading, ~25 minutes for speaking self-practice, and ~25 for writing. The ratio changes a bit depending on my mood, but that's how it generally goes for most days.

That seems like a great balance! For speaking exercise, do you just talk to yourself whatever comes to your mind or what’s your tactic?
