Another thing to keep in mind is that every couple of years, an internal or external shift is going to change what you think is important and what's not worth the effort.

Maybe today you want to focus your time on learning different things and don't want to focus on your job. But then you turn 30 and you realize you want to focus on your career and spend less time learning random stuff. Just make the best decision you can at that moment with the feelings and data you have.
