What are your options for productive self-study?
I seriously decided at 21 to start studying and improving all the necessary sciences on my own (first programming and English, and then the engine and geometry with physics) in order to become a game developer: do it for myself and people, in a small indie team or go to a company in the future. I want to ask a question, how best to organize the training schedule, if I work 2 through 2 in parallel and started studying almost all the material from scratch? How much time should be spent on studying per day and not burn out, how to properly (productively) rest after studying the material? Do you know any techniques/exercises that allow you to develop your brain and "sharpen" them for technical disciplines?

Depends on you
2.
No one is interested in your personal difficulties or joys
3.
Everyone has their own.
4.
To each his own
5.
study and work
But seriously, I'm 21 years old. Already three years of adulthood behind. Is it really difficult to do it yourself? But independence is the ability not to make scrambled eggs, but to look for a way out yourself.
Well, for example, a random horseradish from the Internet will tell you the following:
1.
9-10 to work
17-18 a couple of hours of rest
19-21 active tasks. Sports, economy.
21-24 studying, reading documentation, programming as a hobby.
2.
Even better, you can study all day long.
3.
hour of theory, 2-3 hours of practice.
4.
Pump It Up, authors.today
5.
Regularly write short references/documentation on what you have mastered and explain it to a friend/girlfriend so that they understand.
Perform technical tasks
Sometimes play logic games, such as Opus Magnum
You can basically play any game where there is at least some ingenuity, it is important that these games need to be played with the mind. If this is some kind of "happy farmer" thread, write an autoclicker for him. If this is a single player,
play a little, then hack it yourself, open the format of configs, data. Yes, even with a cheat-engine, climb something to fix it. Best of all - simple games, from the old ones. Multiplayer is absolutely not worth breaking, because karma.
And now you take my advice, and you burn out, but simply because we are different people, and it was interesting for me to work and then pick something else of my own, but you don’t, and you just don’t want to force it.
Or banal, I understand the word "necessary", and you "well, probably necessary, but something I was tired of, probably not mine"

Everything is the opposite. If you have already decided in gamedev - start with mathematics, for a start - a banal school set. You might think about college.
No way. Better work full time, save money, quit and study, when the money runs out - work again. Repeat until you win. Alternatively, again, you can enter a decent university for a scholarship (which can reach 20k).
As long as you can, while the brain is still working.
Either sleep or move.
Yes, it's called "engaging in technical disciplines."

Learning how to learn course on coursera. Or the book Think Like a Mathematician from the author of the same course can answer these questions.
