Yeah,I don't want to quit but I have a feeling that my pace is slow and technologies updates and changes daily and that I can't keep up. Ditching most activities to learn is scary but It seems it's the sacrifice I need to make.
Putting learning in schedule as if it is a real job is great tip.
I will try to make something like that and see how it goes.
Thanks!

If you're trying to learn, you should be focusing on the concepts more than on any specific technologies.
What that means: focus on learning the different pieces of web development. If front end, that would be single page apps vs multi page, basic logical patterns, integrating with apis, etc.
What you shouldn't be doing is trying to "learn react". The knowledge you acquire should be as transferable as possible if you're worried about timing. If you understand the concepts, you can switch from react, to angular, to something else without breaking a sweat.
If you start with react or angular, then it becomes much harder to do anything else if those products end.
Don't you, guys, think that trying to find this happy balance between working full-time and learning detracts you? You cannot focus fully on your learning as you have these minor challenges and problems that slow down your learning..

Depends on what the rest of your schedule looks like.
But $$$ is more important than not being distracted.
I teach introduction workshops for people looking at starting to explore development, and it's pretty amazing what people can learn in 6 hours a week for just a few weeks.
It will definitely take longer. But you'll be able to pay rent and eat.
