Good stuff, upvoted. Related point: since learning can be far more efficient if you're intrinsically curious about the subject matter, you should collect as many "angles" as possible to interest you in new bodies of knowledge, and cherish any connection you can find between things you care about on a gut level and fields you might benefit from understanding for extrinsic reasons.
