I personally find blocking time (phone off, software blocking time-consuming sites etc) helps. I like to divide subject by sections, and study one after another, and track my progress. I also use textbooks (paper ones!) for CS concepts so it's less distracted.
Depends on the subject, if it's a bit boring or difficult, I think morning is the best time. If it's more "fun", then I could do it after work.

I agree, and I really like the idea of using textbooks to avoid distractions. I found that whenever I am reading on a screen, I am tempted to open other apps. Never looked at textbooks in that way, thank you for sharing!

I also highly recommend Deep Work by Cal Newport. It will give you a lot of sound advice on productivity. If you lack time here is a short summary: medium.com/swlh/deep-work-a-book-s...
