ATPL study time

Hi guys and gals.
im after some advice on ATPL study time.
having gained my PPl, IMC and night ratings I have just purchased module 1 of the ATPL correspondance course from GTS. I am determined to study by correspondance, because it is the only option open to me at the moment. basically I have a crap day job, (15-17k pa) and also work as a part time firefighter on a night and at weekends (10k pa) this takes up alot of time but is the only way im able to pay for my training.
can anybody who studied by distance learning tell me the best ways of being disciplined with study, learning techniques, etc? I realise alot of this is down to the individual, but I like to hear the experiences of others.
my aim is to be paid to fly professionaly. simple as that....so im looking at ATPL, multi IR and an instructor rating.

many thanks.
