I am a HN addict, so my suggestion might be unreliable.
I learn best and sustain my motivation by working on specific projects. So far I've created several LED light installations using both Arduino and ESP8266 controllers. Implemented smart home functions using Rasperry Pi and various hacked WiFi IoT devices. Built several bits of furniture and trying to grow vegetables.
All of these required focused research, experimentation and then more research as my knowledge grew incrementally. Before Google/StackOverflow etc, I used to buy lots of computer books. Now I have a thousand times more information at my finger tips.
