1. Need to learn a new concept/technology/subject arises
2. Collect resources (books, courses, experts) and start learning
3. Learn till a sufficient proficiency is reached to achieve the goal in 1.
4. Every time the implementation is used/revisited learn one new concept in that subject matter and apply that to the current implementation
We normally stop learning once we have the desired proficiency. The more we use an implementation, the need to learn more about it and improve the current implementation becomes important. But we don’t realize the need till the time when our current knowledge fails us. So we need an approach to learn continuously, and also only the things that matter. We cannot tell ahead in time what matters the most in the future. A good heuristic to know the importance of subject matter is the frequency of use of its implementation.

The structure of our social media feeds place us in a Never-Ending Now. Like hamsters running on a wheel, we live in an endless cycle of ephemeral content consumption — a merry-go-round that spins faster and faster but barely goes anywhere. Stuck in the fury of the present, we’re swept up in dizzying chaos like leaves in a gale-force wind. Even though on the Internet, we’re just a click away from the greatest authors of all time, from Plato to Tolstoy, we default to novelty instead of timelessness.
We’re trapped in a Never-Ending Now — blind to our place in history, engulfed in the present moment, overwhelmed by the slightest breeze of chaos.
Here’s the bottom line: How can you prioritize the accumulated wisdom of humanity over the impulses of the past 24 hours?

"When you encounter a situation where you're like, "OK, this is real. I can either keep it together and do this or I can, fall apart and have a meltdown." You gotta do one or the other. And that process of evaluating the situation, getting it together, and carrying on, it's a challenge every time."
