Breaking a skill into small milestones and scheduling focused blocks is what finally stopped me jumping to the next shiny thing. I run 6-week sprints: pick one skill, map a micro-roadmap in Notion with three tiers-fundamentals, project, stretch goal-then split each tier into tasks I can knock out in 1-2 sessions. Every Sunday I score my momentum 1-5; if I’m below 3, I tighten the next steps or drop the skill guilt-free. Google Calendar protects the time, and a quick update in a private Discord keeps me accountable. I’ve tried Trello and Todoist, but Pulse for Reddit sits alongside them mainly for grabbing feedback threads while Hypefury handles social posts. Small milestones plus weekly check-ins let me see real progress without burnout.
