I don’t have a good answer for the question in the title, but for programming specifically, I’d say try and solve a problem you have instead of studying it. It’s one of those things that’s IMHO much easier to learn by trying things out. Start small. Little things you’d like to automate, annoyances on your computer, things that could be useful for your work, etc.
This is what seems to work for me. I built a website for a small music festival and wanted to have the same headers across all the pages. I found out that I could write the header in JavaScript and just call it on each page, meaning that updates would only have to be done to one file.
I copied the code from an example I found first, then tweaked it to suit my needs, and then played with adding and removing functions to see what they do. I then copied the format for the footer, and found a few other ways of tweaking the site with JavaScript.
I’m still a long way from being proficient, but I understand a lot more than when I started :)
