I'm sure there will be a ton of good advice here, but one thing that I've always found helps a lot, regardless of what other resources or approaches you are using is to come up with a project that you want to complete and then use that to focus the rest of your learnings. It helps guide the learning and exploration.

It's probably better to pick something smaller and more achievable at first so you can make some early progress and experience some successes but picking a huge goal is fine too, you just have to break that huge goal down into smaller and smaller ones until you have a reasonably sized sub-goal to break off and work on.
