Would doing them semi-concurrently be too painful? I was thinking that way I could get some grammar down while studying the kanji (I am thinking about modifying the RTK process, but I'm not certain yet) and add some readings in maybe? I have no idea where to start, pretty much. If I do RTK, should I do it unmodified or add readings? Practice some grammar, too?
Man, I need to change my signature, too...weird and outdated.
There are many ways you can go through RTK
Personally I think if you're going to go through it, do it in the least painful way possible so that you can get to learning "Real" Japanese sooner.
Learning words and grammar at the same time will help distract you from doing NOTHING but kanji, and will aid in the actual learning of the language rather than just "indexing" the characters in your head, which is basically what RTK does.
kanji.koohii.com as yudan pointed out, has a lot of advice, and a lot of methods. Try not to get too swallowed up in all the information that is there, and all the different methods. Do what is most comfortable to you, and what you enjoy the most.
The reviews to remember what you've "learned" are the most important, and the most difficult part of the process.
