I add consistency because I used to try cram everything into 2 weeks. I then ended up getting burnt out and stopping for weeks on end. Now as long as I get in at least 5 mins per day I'm happy.
With the enjoyment, I really thought "am I enjoying what I'm doing?". I was learning PHP and trying to cram it all in quickly and ended up hating it after a while. I realised I learn more effectively when I enjoy what I'm doing.
The enjoyment part is something I'm very interested in as well, because from what I've noticed by attempting to learn various skills over the years, is that enjoyment is often tied to how good you think you are at it, and how well you think you're progressing. Nobody likes to be reminded of their inadequacies every time they sit down to code. Coding actually becomes fun when you can use what you've learned to solve a problem, on your own or by googling. That's why I think its beneficial to learn programming with someone, either by learning from them or teaching them, and by tackling projects or coding problems that are just slightly above your current skill set; something you can look at and say, "I can figure this out."
