There’s just too many things I’d want to learn, but I probably can’t do everything at once. And I also don’t know where to start when it comes to basically any topic.
Courses could absolutely work, but they tend to be paid, so that’s a problem.
How do you approach learning new material, especially if you only know a goal rather than a full/partial path?
Learning for no reason other than to learn makes it hard to stay motivated. Pick some sort of goal and accomplish it. Want to learn how to make something? Start reading about it and make it. Learn as you go, make mistakes. Once you’ve done it, choose something else to make/do/figure out. A broad knowledge base also makes future things easier to learn because there are always things that will overlap even in seemingly completely different subjects.
