I kind of do a tornado approach of reading a lot about researching and reading about things I'm trying to learn and just doing it. Back and forth. I pick reading when I feel like reading, and doing when I feel like doing, so it keeps me motivated and I don't get too bored of doing/reading. Like I'm trying to make a clone of a game I used to play in the 90's so I started using Unreal Engine to just start putting stuff down. I realized I knew way too little to even get started so I started reading their manual. When I got bored of that I went back to just trying things out myself. Same with 3d modeling and blender. Watched some youtube videos, found a beginners series on how to do some things. Then I just applied my knowledge and made a half-assed model for the game. It's not a great model, but it's enough to at least learn how to import it into Unreal and keep going from there. I guess it's kind of like agile for learning. Short loops, evaluate what you're doing and why, and what your end goals are. Don't get stuck doing one thing for too long. This also helps short circuits my perfectionist tendencies. Directed chaos.
