Nah, that sounds great! A rich life. I reckon just do whatever you're into at any moment without such meta-thinking, let alone over-thinking, at all.
I've always been into a lot of different things, the main thing I regret is 20+ years making little or no notes of what I was learning or what I was doing, or just writing into disorganized notebooks impossible to go back to. I kept a diary for 20+ years, but that didn't cover most of the details of what I was into. Thankfully, at last in the last 5-10 years I've been keeping records of stuff, mostly in various illustrated LaTeX books. I can only be into 1 or 2 things at a time, so next time I return to something, it's there ready to pick up again. Or looking through stuff from a few years ago is a great way to get new ideas to try I didn't think of back then. Good luck!
