I can definitely relate to hitting a plateau. I feel like I am starting to emerge from one.

What helped me was beginning to use the skills in a new problem. Looking on kaggle for a dataset to practice on, then doing some exploratory data analysis, building a simple model - generally playing around with the skills you've learned from the micro-courses. Basically do that over and over again, and then look for answers to any questions you have along the way.

I've found it helpful to take notes on the process - it gives you something to refer back to and also documents your progress. :)
