How to pick what to learn next (and quit the rest)

Most learners fail from too many open loops, not too little talent. Five half started courses produce zero hirable skills. The fix is brutal prioritization: one track at a time, everything else parked.

Score candidates on three axes. Payoff: does anyone pay for this in the next six months? Proof speed: can you ship something demonstrable in under a month? Pull: do you actually enjoy the work, or the idea of it? The highest total wins; the rest go on a someday list you are allowed to ignore.

Then commit in public. Tell one person your track and your finish date. Social accountability outperforms willpower roughly ten to one, and a Sabifirst roadmap gives you progress worth reporting.

Quitting is a feature, not a failure. Parked tracks cost nothing. The only expensive choice is splitting yourself across four of them.
