Thank you for this. I have a lifetime plan (goodness knows how many years that will be) but I know for sure that I want to leave while knowing that I tried to understand. This may be why I want to learn everything, but this may also be just gluttony because I’m not a very good student. I may also not be that idealistic after all, I want to do a startup but lack the confidence, and I think it’s because I don’t have enough confidence in my knowledge and not enough discipline. By training myself to be a better learner, I hope to be more ready (some of my projects are related to the startup idea.)
I am going to try chunking by week and see how that goes. Maybe the switching costs felt too high because I was doing small chunks of everything in timeframes that are too small.

Gotcha.
About data science, I’m starting from rock bottom i.e. basic stats to overcome an old prejudice, and psychology to start thinking in statistics (thanks Kahneman.) And thank you again!
