I think my approach to learning most things I'm interested in is to set a basic goal and learn exactly enough info to get me to that goal. If the goal is too ambitious, I'll set a more reasonable goal and try again. If I'm able to achieve the goal, set a more ambitious goal and learn more during that process. Trying to learn everything about robotics is not a reasonable goal at this time so I'm doing my best to set myself up for success.
