Keep an eye on what's out there, surface level among all the things that are useful (or just interesting to you). Dive in when you have an actual problem to solve. Don't decide before you dive in, use that surface knowledge to know what your options are and where to start but don't make decisions with it (can be tricky).
And as others are saying, know your fundamentals, and know your theory. Get experience doing something real start to finish as often as possible and in order to do that you will have to dive into things. That's how to decide what to learn next.

It's best to get a cursory view of your available options (star them, bookmark them, commit them to memory) and when the situation arises for a specific problem to solve, you'll know of a handful of options to further investigate.
