No, I definitely didn't learn everything I think I need. I am very much in need to learn a lot of things, desperately, in fact.
I still pursue knowledge from pragmatic standpoint. "This is useful, this is not, therefore I need to learn this and can completely disregard that". There is just no "drive" in it, no genuine force of curiosity that used to be so motivating. From pragmatic standpoint, my ability to learn suffered a great hit.
Have you tried to look at any new areas recently? Perhaps you are getting kind of "bored" by the repetition.
Sort of yes. Maybe not sufficiently new. I shall look into it.
I had to consciously make myself read articles on the topic of my PhD topic (and not unrelated stuff, so much more interesting), so you just might be lucky! Or even if you don't think so, you can use this property, at least.
