Do you have something you can point to that you didn't drop so quickly? Meditate on that and think about what circumstances were different compared to now when you try to learn something new. And if you do have such a thing, and you can make money from it, hey it's ok to slow down and not feel bad about not "learning something new every day" or whatever life hackers champion. Compound interest on things you learned long ago can afford quite a bit of laurel-resting, depending on how intense that initial learning was. That said, a reliable way to force learning is to be paid/required to learn as a means to complete a job. When your internal motivation is broken, until you can repair it (very mysterious how/when that happens) the only alternative is being in real sink-or-swim situations.
