I find the volume of overwhelming, but I think I have a practice now that works well for me. Say I want to do something in vim, but it feels clunky. Part of me says "there may be a better way to do this", and I go looking for a way. I usually limit such a search to ten minutes or so. I'll stretch that if I'm getting closer. It's not a hard science, but I think the two important elements are 1. Being willing to deep dive and 2. Monitoring how much time I spend to allow for reasonable stops. I come back to unsolved issues when they come up repeatedly. That tells me those are more important.
