Welcome back kvSketch, it's good to see you filling your sketchbook again. I like the variety you have to your sketchbook; lots of studies and finished pieces. I'm quite fond of your latest knight piece, there's nice detailing to the armour.
You mentioned art scheduling a few posts ago. While I'm still struggling to find what works, I've been finding lately pre-planning my week/s has been mega helpful. With personal projects I give myself deadlines I want to hit, then break it down into day-by-day goals. Then within that, I can plan what I need to study (like if I know I need to draw a face tomorrow, I'll do face studies today in preparation). So I'm studying what I can immediately apply to a personal project.
Like Jalmon said, kill two birds with one stone by studying what you need to for a project piece. You'll learn more when you apply what you've learnt, as opposed to just grinding studies for the sake of studying
