I found Radiorunner's Curriculum for the Solo Artist very helpful! Limiting each unit to a month and trying to complete each challenge within that time frame it gives you that start and end point as well as practice meeting deadlines. You can follow it strictly or use it as a resource for cobbling together your own curriculum. Here's the link: https://imgur.com/gallery/RXJ2nmH Hope this helps!

Hey Christopher! The first thing I would do if I were you would be to find a community to draw with. Whether it's online or in person, that's up to you but I think it's essential to art growth to be in a community of people you enjoy being around. Building your own curriculum from scratch is almost impossible, and not really necessary. There are so many people out there that do weekly sketch groups, host art discords, or figure drawing workshops. If you're determined, you shouldn't have too much trouble building a community. The benefit of a community is that it will do two things. It will keep you accountable in the way an art school would (for much cheaper) and it will make it fun to do. The boring parts of learning art become fun because you're studying with your friends vs completely on your own. The more you can create your own art community, I think that a study curriculum will fall into place. Hope this helps!
