I don’t know if this is going to help you, but one of the biggest mistakes I did in the past was that I constantly tried to keep up with "cool" programming kids and technologies and wanted to learn everything. You see, you learn something and then 1 month later a new hyped framework comes, and all hipster startup programmers are switching to it (so do you) and you abandon the previous framework you have learned, then try to learn a new one and so on because you don’t want to be out. It is like a neverending circle :). So when I finally realized this I decided to stop folllowing trends so much and focus on a certain technology/part of programming and get good at it.

The result is that today I have more free personal time and I am still able to create basically anything with PHP and React by today’s standards, even though I realise I probably don’t use the coolest technology on the market.
