Another thing I try and remind myself of when I start thinking “Ahh, there’s too much to learn!” is that I should be thinking on the timescale of months and years, rather than days and weeks—it’s amazing how much progress one can make by consistently plugging away at something for a few hours a week.
This is more an emotional strategy than a strategy of actually learning more effectively, but I find it helpful.
Agree with this! I can definitely see that there’s some kind of fine tuning you can do, like making it less challenging so your motivation and probability of success goes up.
