half an hour or one hour per day on weekdays. 2-3 hours on weekends.

When you have spare time this is a good way to spend it. The more time you devote to practicing your skills the better the knowledge will stick. Of course everyone is dealing with different life situations so the amount of time spent is different for everyone. It is important to set aside time in which you feel that you can be productive and attentive. I find that if you find yourself with a lot of time to spend learning (4-8 hours at a time) it helps to take a break here and there to decompress and reflect. For me this is when the answers to the different challenges of coding come together and make sense.

Due to an accident, I am on bed for the next 5 Months. Pro = enough time to follow my dream and learn to code. I usally split it into 2 x 4 Hours sessions.

10am - 2pm 5pm - 9pm

Doing it since 1 Month on other Coding Pages. Now my first Day on treehouse.

But I think this is difficult if you are employed. If you are unemployed, you just need to push yourself, because this is good for your future. When I am taking a break, I am mostly watching some coding-Youtubers who keep motivating me :D .

A coffee or chai helps to stay focused.

I try to get as much in daily as possible. Team treehouse has a motivation and clean interface to learn to code. I think originally they recommended 3 hours a day.

I am unemployed at the moment and try to get alot of coding done.

i will buy the techdree option this weekend. This is a great program

You'll get out what you put in. That's trite but it's true.

My only suggestion is that while you're a beginner you do something, anything, every day. Even if you only have ten minutes that should be enough time to load up a coding challenge you've already completed and try it again.

Obviously, the more time you can spend learning, the faster and deeper you will learn.
