I've been in a funk for quite a long time now. I think the most important thing is to establish a vision for your life. What do you want your life to be about? It's a question that might take some time to answer. You could always randomly pick a popular subject to learn (economics, web dev...). But the question you'll have to ask yourself is why do I want to learn one thing over another. Time is the most precious thing you have, and so it's good to have a direction in your life, so that, what do you do is gradually guiding you in that direction. On the other hand, sometimes you could take that analysis to the extreme (called analysis paralysis) and never decide what you want to do. In that case, just pick something that's interesting and stick with it for an extended period. This is something that most of struggle with. There is so much to do, you can flip-flop between activities, never really getting much depth. Good luck, it's a long journey, but you're already asking the right questions.
