20 hours a week on top of your day job is just nonsense. I think Uncle Bob must be smoking something. I already do 50-60 hours a week in my job, adding that amount of personal learning time would basically mean little sleep and no family interaction.

Learning should be part of every developer's job. If you're a technologist and not learning anything as part of your day-to-day, then you need to look for a new job. If you choose to do more in your own time, great, but don't beat yourself up if you can't.
