There are roughly 40880 hours in 7 years (the 20440 left are for sleeping time). I have divided them as such:
>10000 hours for studying languages (french, german, russian, japanese and chinese)
>10000 hours for literature (I plan to read all the major western and east asian classics in that time)
>15000 hours for studying (mostly mathematics, physics and philosophy)
>5000 hours for videogames, movies, music and training

Besides, learning maths on your own is very hard, university exists for that (except if you already have a degree). Not because the matter itself is hard, but because you have no driving factor to grind through all the proofs and exercises and actually test yourself.

I've dropped the time I will spend learning languages to 7000, this should be enough to learn all the languages I want. The 3000 hours left will be used for creative pursuits or daily necessities.

Studied for 3 hours today, studied languages for 2 hours and read for 3 hours. I'm still below my targeted time (6h for studies, 2.5h for languages and 4 hours for literature), but I'm making progress. I will play videogames now.

If you read 60 pages a week you'd read 3100 pages a year. That's around 10 books a year that are not À la recherche du temps perdu. If you are so impatient that you cannot read a great book at a slower pace, with no thought as to if you're gonna finish them sooner or later, if you cannot enjoy this gentle process (let alone any less amicable activity, such as studying grammar or mathematics), then you're not gonna make it. You will give it up in less than a week. Is life a race for you? Then I'm afraid starting one's studies at the age of 30 is gonna be a severe handicap, and you'll always lag behind. You'll never be good enough, you will never make any use of this shallow "knowledge", nor will anyone appreciate it, in fact, they will despise you all the more for it, your pedantry will only serve to highlight just how ignorant you really are. It is simply unviable. I'll tell you something that will prove much more fruitful and gratifying than all these thousands of years of hopeless studying, something that will give you an immediate result, something which you may choose to use or to discard, but which you'll feel better for having made it: before any french conjugations, german declensions, or russian grammar, learn how to tie a noose, then reconsider.
