Finally I found someone who is experiencing the same thing as me. It happens with me too. I am at 3rd year of my engineering and these past two years I have gained knowledge about Game development, hybrid app development, android development, cloud computing, blockchain, web development. Right now I'm still thinking what to do. The main thing is to stop giving excuses to yourself. I shouldn't be saying this but right now I am about to start android app development and I have to learn web developement for my mini Project too. I know I am making excuses that if there wasn't any mini project I could have started android development long back blah blah. The main thing is to just start doing things. Plug in your phone to a charger, switch it's data off so that you can't get distracted with notification and start doing the thing which you are interested in. This works in my case. As I have to do competitive programming too for my interview prep I solve atleast 1 problem in hackerrank no matter how easy it is. This improves the consistency. I'm planning to learn flask and I will be starting that from tomorrow a little progress at a time. Same goes for my android development but that will after 4days.

Oh those boys... when you finish your studies you'll see that you didn't learned enough and it could be either deceiving or a boost to learn more. With luck you'll face a senior team that makes you feel impostor syndrome and you'll need to raise the bet and give it all.
Keep on, finish your grade and then decide which specialization fits best to you. If you're a native learner pick that one where you struggle most or you know nothing.
As you said, excuses are not valid, simply do something. If you code half an hour, better than nothing!

Of course also give you a break and go outside, play some game, meet someone and live your life because at the moment we only have one :)

Yeah . Mobile phone is a major distraction when doing any focused work. And all the best for your learning and interviews. 🙂
