Not the answer you’re looking for but hopefully it will help: the best time to learn something is when you don’t need it. You should set aside time, each day to play with something new and to learn. The lack of time pressure will help you take the new thing you’re learning and anchor it in your existing knowledge.

When the time comes to use this new thing you will have a pretty good idea on how to handle it and you’ll only have to brush up on it a bit.

Last, but important: you never want to learn something just to learn it. Build something with it - understand why its’s useful and apply it, even on a small scale projecy
