I do programming almost everyday without any exception. It has now become a habit for me. My day doesn't end without me writing a few hundred lines of code every day. However, it was a bit difficult to start with.
You can also learn many programming languages here: hackr.io/

First of all, let me tell you that you need not practice competitive programming everyday. Some people do competitive programming and I recommend it too, but it's not compulsory.

Use sticky notes. Use it to remind yourself of what you have to do
Use a calendar to schedule important programming tasks
Earmark a few hours everyday for programming. Follow it with no exceptions.
Reward yourself of completion of programming tasks before deadline.
Taking part in contests and hackathons is a great way to practice programming
Freelancing is a great way to practice programming too. You'll get paid for programming and you'll have deadlines.
