Make it into a structure with a fixed position in your day - like for example every day after dinner, at least 30min. Best combine with a reward after: after the studying is done, you prepare a nice warm goodnight beverage for yourself and enjoy some mindless scrolling.
Also, for everything new we add to our day we will lose this time for other activities. I sometimes have to check back and make sure my planned activities actually fit into the 24h of a day - how is that for you, do have time enough to learn programming? What else do you have to give up on?
And, I've found making less of everything really helps. So what, I only knit 1 row a day, write only 1 page, but if I can do that consistently for months in a row it's a lot better than forcing myself to do several hours of something during two days and then give up.
