RE learning math: you might want to check out some of my (non-free) books on MECH+CALC https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_pr... and LINEAR ALGEBRA https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSLA_v2_preview.... They are written especially with adult readers in mind.

RE schedule to keep you going: I've had some students use the concept maps as a "world map" (like the stage map in Mario World) and check off boxes as you progress through them (each concept corresponds to roughly one section). See https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_and_physic... and https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/linear_algebra_... I guess you could time-box these and do N of sections each week to make this into a schedule. Make sure you dedicate lots of time for the exercises/problems, because that's when the real learning happens...
