My friend can't understand my "everything all at once" approach to learning. What's your approach? (lemmy.ml)

I told my friend I was learning music. She asked what I was trying to learn, so I said music. She asked what in specific, so I gave her the current list. She thinks I'm kidding.

Guitar
Ukulele
Piano
Music theory
Reading music
Finger drumming
Abelton
Renoise
Bitwig
Maschine
Pigments
Buttersynth
Deluge
Minifreak
Polyend Play
Polyend Tracker
Dirtywave M8
Chompi
Abelton Note
Koala
Loopy Pro

Those are the things I'm actively working on with a laundry list of other things for later. The moment I get a little bored with one thing, I jump to another.

I tend to want to learn the history of anything new I'm learning. It helps me to understand by knowing how it evolved. Or I have to know how it works at a fundamental level and build up from there.

To me those are all practical skills except music theory and are kinda all over the place each requiring time to practice. I'd feel like I was never making progress if I had to split my time 20 ways.

Instead if I were trying to learn music productionI'd probably focus on one thing at a time as you mention a lot of different expensive software and hardware many of which overlap, multiple DAWs and hardware sequencers. As it is it looks like you are learning more interfaces and less music.

I'd start with piano and music theory as they are complimentary and add in one DAW and then add in other hardware or instruments. Once I got a foundation I'd add in redundant hardware and software if I felt the need.

For any fiels having too many options just drains my creativity. Where as if I have to work within limitations I get more creative.

Anyway good luck with all that.
