Frankly, I've struggled with Shiny-Object-Syndrome for way too long. At work, I deal with backend/data engineering problems on a day to day basis. I started learning Django framework recently. Honestly I quite like it, and should be focusing on building a deep expertise in this domain. But, I come across some cool front-end tech, and I want to watch that. A new personal development course pops up, I want to do that too! A course in mobile development? Oooh that sounds interesting!! And the ease of availability of resources only worsens this dilemma.
I find it very hard to stick one thing long enough to get actually develop proficiency! It's as if I want to learn everything only because it's new and hip, and I'm kinda running away from making something substantial with it.
Have any of you faced something similar? How did you escape tutorial purgatory? Any tips you'd like to share that'll help overcome this? Not sure if this is wrong to post it here - but I had a hunch there could be others who might benefit from this discussion.
