How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. It sounds like you need help determining how big of a bite you can take.
"Read x book" is NOT a bite unless your reading speed is super high. "Read 1 chapter is x book" is something you can fit in anywhere. Many book chapters target a 15-30 minute read time. Before cellphones, we read books in the bathroom.
My dad had several books open and ready to read all over the house. He had 2 or 3 preferred reading spots w a different bookS at each spot. Each book was on a different interest. At his desk, it was Bible or business related. By the TV, it was sports or comedy or the newspaper. In bed, he had a stack of Reader's Digests. He'd pick up one book at a given spot. If he couldn't get into it, he'd try the other book. Sitting in that location helped to get his mind oriented for that topic.
It's better to take small nibbles and make progress than fail at the full meal.
I have a system, but you might not like it. It requires getting up at 4:30... However, the morning hours are much better for creative passion projects than trying to make it work in the evenings.
I work night shift. I'm still at work at 0430. I get home ~6 am and get to bed ~7. My alarm goes off at 3PM for various endeavors, dinner, and off to work another 12 hr shift.

Ouch! Good luck - that’s a different level.
Indeed. I can't wake up that early :-D
