Right now I am A2 in French and I was inspired by user SKYNET from this forum (He used a lot of courses in his preparation to DELF B2)
Let's check what will happens with me after 3 month

Great to see you start your own log!!! And it will be a pleasure to see your progress, thanks for sharing it! And don't hesitate to share obstacles and troubles too, it often helps. Haven't seen Skynet around for some time, I miss them.
My current routine
Reading Fiction books (2-2,5 hours) 5 days per week ( Currently Le Petit Nicolas) during my road to work
RFI 20-30 minutes
Living language FRENCH Advanced (20 minutes)
Reading News in french (1 hour per day)
Grammar (10-15 minutes) Good russian grammar book
Unfortunatly I don't like exercises (they are somehow boring) and I was avoiding them during my learning of English
Fiction is great. And RFI is surely a recommended resource.
Living language "advanced" is sort of A2 and not too highly regarded course. What are your plans after that? Perhaps a B1 and B2 level of something like Édito.
What is your russian based grammar book like? I find that sometimes books based in German or Czech are more thorough than those based in English, what type of book is that? I am curious

The exercises are usually a huge part of grammar learning. You may not be using your book to the full potential. However, there are other options. For example some learners prefer to turn their grammar examples into anki cards, and therefore have a different kind of practice. It depends. I personally think you need some sort of practice, but there are definitely more ways to go about it.
Buffy(now it's little bit difficult for me, but I will give her a chance to beat PeterM )
We will call her Buffy PeterM Slayer

my secret weapon
I think it was Garyb, who started the Buffy wave in our community. I still haven't watched the show! I should get the German dub

It should be awesome for my tastes.
So i am going to add Iversen lists from vocabulary books like Vocabulaire progressive
and grammar exercises
Right now it's mostly passive skills improvements...
The Progressive books are awesome. I'd recommend vocab, grammaire, and also communication. Either for the tons of exercises, or for Iversen lists, or Anki, or anything you like. But there is nothing more complete and thorough on the language learning market for any language. I'd suggest you started at Intermediaire level. They can even replace any "normal" coursebooks, if you chose so.
Weekends (I don't decided yet what I will do during weekends. Maybe It'll be Tv series or cartoons like Le Petit Nicolas)
