If I found the right answer I think I can make my room to a flamenco school thanks

I usually will commit to learning one piece at a time. I used to try and study different pieces but found that I would only end up learning bits and pieces of different things and knew very few pieces in their entirety.

Hi Ziryab!
This is not an advice, but the way I study, maybe you can use some of my way of learning.
in the morning two hours. first the newest things, ( the things I cannot memorize yet) then new things, i can memorize, but still need a lot of work. Then, at the end the newest things again ( the ones I cannot memorize)
In the afternoon half an hour or if i can one hour only things I memorize, let's say my repetoir.
In the evening half an hour or if i can an hour the newest things again, nothing else, so when I go to sleep, the last things I did where the things to memorize.

You need to think about what you need, not what resources you have. For example Tom´s idea of learning whole pieces might work for you, but would be useless for me since I never play solo guitar. I need to know the tones to accompany each palo, then a few falsetas in various keys. You might need something entirely different from either of us.
Analyze your goals and what you need to achieve those goals and what you need to learn will become obvious.
