That small gap totalled my motivation. Somehow it was just so hard to restart once the heat dissipated. Only touched my Japanese, and even then just 30 mins a day. Today managed to do more though. However I scrape by on my Spanish Duolingo, but that's about it for Spanish. Irish? Not even touched.

That being said, yesterday I spent several hours tinkering with Godot, and was thoroughly enjoying myself figuring things out. So that's also ramped up my desire to study my languages again. Did 200-ish reviews today instead of the usual 100. I'm finding leveraging other interests also helps in overall mood and motivation. The thing me and my girlfriend will be doing was put on hold, so I'll be able to push forwards with languages again as well for the time being, so nothing holding me back now except myself.

I'm hoping the upcoming summer heat won't completely waste me again.

Edited a bit more for clarity of point I was trying to make*

I studied some more kanji this week, watched a few videos from Easy German.

Probably my best step this week was finally setting up Yomitan w/ AnkiConnect. Been meaning to for a while, now I can mine cards that aren't so barebones.
