One of the things about self-learning that is so hard is that if you're already on a busy schedule, it gets harder and harder to keep learning sometimes. You miss a day, then another, then a week. And eventually, it becomes months. But still, you somehow manage to get back on the track and then you try to continue but it's going to be even more impossible. You wish you could start over, so you try to. But then it becomes harder to try more because it's going to be more boring than the first time. Three ways I often tried to manage this issues was join a group of 3 or more people from different places and set deadlines for each other. Another similar one was joining a Udemy course that had its on somewhat flexible but fundamentally rigid track. The last one was setting shorter and achievable guidelines. For instance instead of saying you'll do a whole website in a week. Say you will do a single page in a day, or set the project and open a repo in an hour or two.

And a last tip, I don't recommend, is to do a self-hackathon. Basically a ramped up cram session with energy drinks for days and more.
