My professional interests are cloud and big data technologies, machine learning, and software development. I like to read source code and research papers to understand how stuff works.
Pronoun: He
you read articles about a lot of stuff and when you come across a good article about a specific subject, you mind automatically wanna learn more about it
Stop right there! Here's what I do at this moment:
Copy the reference and create a new item in my to-learn-list (I am using Wunderlist but you can use anything basically).
Decide whether this is important for my current goal. If I need to understand it in order to keep working on what I was trying to achieve, I dig deeper right away. Otherwise I leave it on the list and continue with something important.
Dedicate a fixed amount of time every week (usually it's the whole Friday for me) where I am not working. On these days I check the to-learn-list and pick the one topic that intrigues me most. If during that time I come up with another interesting topic to learn about, start again from point 1. In order to make sure that I really understood what I was working on, I like to blog about it here.
Hope that helps. I agree with the previous comments that it comes down to focus, time boxing, and figuring out whether you need to understand something right now or if later is enough.
