I have the same exact problem. Im a self employed technology Consultant who deals with everything from desktop support, Office IT consulting, security systems, Home theater systems, web site design, and much more, with a lot of experience in the field. I have the same problem though, every month and sometimes every week, im on a new adventure. One week I want to actually get an MCSE, no but wait Linux is going to take over the world, let me study linux more, no wait everything is going to be scripted, lets study python, oh but wait all those jobs are moving to india, you have to be in UX where there is more creativity, man Im bored with this, I want to study cryptography which is way more interesting, Cryptography is fun, but do you really see yourself in the crypto field, finance is fun too and you can make a shit ton of money on your own, etc etc
-And It's a cycle, Ill be back to square one in a years time or so. As far as how I deal with it, well, I already have a career, it being my own business, so I'm not really needing to pass any exam or anything, I kind of do all that stuff for fun and I do enjoy it. But it is frustrating not being able to stick to one thing really. I think the key is to push through the boring, frustrating parts. When you hit the lows in fun and interesting, you have to keep pushing through. I know it's harder than it sounds. A couple of suggestions would be try getting a partner that you can study with. I know it doesnt work for everyone but its a thought. Also, maybe learning through an actual project might get you to stick through it.
Good luck
