In three steps: 1. Pick activities and goals that are coherent with your personality as you understand it. You might have a vague idea of this but the better you articulate it, the more you'll accomplish. 2. Find new methods of feedback that inform you of progress. Having a teacher or mentor to ask is the classic way of "getting up to speed" but after that you have to become more creative and look for specific phenomena that you could optimize for. Completions, revenue and similar large-scale metrics tend not to give you enough to go on in the moment. 3. Look for techniques that you find painless and give you maximal leverage towards your goals. The bulk of a project is application of technique, but the design of it involves figuring out which technique to use when. If the goal is "learn the technique" many kinds of projects will do. But using a technique for creative effect is a matter of finding the time and place for it, the same as it would be for a fighting technique.
