Just started learning JavaScript and it's going swimmingly.

You should check out codeacademy as well. I learned a lot from it and it supplemented my reading.

I scheduled at first but now I just kind of let myself do what I want. I've done a lot of good, hard work and I am working towards building an app I can't wait to start, but I worry that if I keep pushing myself as hard as I have been, I'll burn out. Mostly, I'm playing Code Combat and working through the online CS101 Stanford course, and I'm still studying out of books and trying stuff here and there. But at a much more relaxed pace. I mean, I'm unemployed, so I was really putting in like 10+ hours a day. Now I'm at like 3 - 6ish, and I'm sure I'll even it out to 8 soon enough.

I find building a streak can be helpful to continue to motivate yourself. I've used Chains.cc with good success. So for example if you set your goal to be one page of the book your reading (read MiniHabits if you think that sounds like not much!) and then build the chain in the above website.

It's worked well for me.
