I keep a C:/temp directory full of toy projects. If I am curious about something it makes it really easy to mkdir test_newpackage spend 5 minutes with it and walk away without the burden of needing to fully learn and deeply understand the new thing by implementing it into a real project. Keep this space simple and kind of messy. I love learning new things and learning from how others structure their projects. Granted this is after going through my sanity filter of if I think it would be at all useful to me or not. If I did this with every package announced on a podcast, HN, dev.to, twitter I would definitely be overwhelmed.
