I believe too much of a good thing is always a bad thing.

There's one question that should be answered before you ask more questions:

Do I need to know this right now?

Yes, there is a lot to learn, yes curiosity can drive you to asking more questions, but you gotta ask yourself do I need to know this right now?.

Knowing what you know, knowing what you don't know, and knowing what you should know are all more important than just knowing.

No I don't think I need to know the latest web framework, GraphQL, cryptocurrency, or AI technology. I'd rather learn how to write cleaner code, or learn nothing and spend some time with the family.

Knowing is cool, living and not worrying about learning is better 😄
