People always seem to get nervous at the prospect of learning kanji. But don't forget, little kids learn it in Japan just fine.
What I do is make up a bunch of flash cards. Makes me sound like a super-dork, I know, but I'd rather be a dork than fail my exams. Once I have my flash cards, I can use them during ad breaks when I'm watching TV, take them on the bus with me or whatever. Repetition. Seriously.
And remember, it could always be worse. For Chinese I have to remember about 5 times the number of characters I do for Japanese. Chin up.
