What I do is I try to be in the Early Majority group instead of being an Early Adopter [0]. There are "a thousand things to learn" but how many of them will be still popular in 2 years? You can start learning them after 1 or 2 more years and still be in the early majority group, saving yourself some time learning a technology that is overhyped and dies in 6 months.
