Great advices! Procrastinating by learning is a mistake I'm prone to commit. You feel like you're achieving something, but if you're not using what you learned, you're likely to forget it. Skimming through resources and sites like these is great, you might find some real gems of knowledge, but finishing the nth course, book or tutorial won't get you ahead (see: you can't learn everything) in any meaningful way.

Thank you Jatfield for your comment! I agree with you completely.
It's great to go through new courses, but it becomes useful only after starting applying what you've learned.
