I focus at least one third of my learning time on things that dont change, such as principles behind Hickey’s Simple Made Easy, Hamming’s You & Your Research, Brooks’ Mythical Man Month, functional programming, and technical things like SQL, shell.

New tech is a often a container around those, making it easy to grasp it.

Also, new tech also dont have such community & ecosystem around it as older tech, so I keep it on the radar, but dont use in production immediately. Focusing on boring technology, with a spark of novelty where needed.
