I'm a frontend developer and I know enough JS (with JQuery) to get by to create simple web interactivity. It's time for me to learn the fundamentals, so I can then learn libraries like React.

What's the best way to learn? I've completed some beginner level courses on codecademy and others, but forgot much of what I learned within a month or two. I searched here to find books that are recommended, but it seems that many are outdated (without ES6), for instance: Professional JavaScript for Web Developers, which has great reviews, but no ES6. What I know about JS has been learned through doing it and researching the solution and learning bits at a time-- not a great way to learn.

I'm thinking of trying a course on udemy. Along with finding a book to read on the side. Suggestions?

I have tried to follow a daily schedule and to-do list many times in the past, but never succeeded in sticking to it. It's discouraging to look at my schedule and know how much needs to be done, and to know that my entire day is planned ahead of time. Every time I try to follow a daily schedule I always end up avoiding it, because it's intimidating.

Have any fellow procrastinators succeeded in implementing a daily schedule in your life? Tips? Hand written schedule or software?
