When my kids were about the age of yours, I did the bulk of my learning during the weekends; there was always at least half a day's worth of 'free' time distributed throughout those two days. I can't remember if it was Trello or Basecamp, but I used one of the online project/todo/card management sites to maintain a list of ideas/links/bookmarks etc., during the week (this is a lot of fun in itself, it's like filling a shopping cart!), and then worked off the board over the weekend. I found this helped me to appreciate the progress I was making -- it can feel quite slow-going in the beginning -- half a day a week amounts to 2 days over 4 weeks. Inevitably, as you progress (as you start to gain some proficiency in your new skill) you'll find yourself putting a few more hours in during the week; excitement and creativity being the greatest motivators! Good luck! It's not easy, but it's eminently do-able.
