What I’ve always done for learning on my own was much the same as setting goals of any kind. I decided what I wanted to learn, found the resources from which to learn it, and then dove in. It’s harder these days because there are so many online resources to choose from and not all of them are high quality. It’s easy to waste time going over the same material multiple times with difference instructors, or learn bad habits from people who really shouldn’t be teaching.
Perhaps the easiest (and maybe the best) thing to do is get yourself a credit card so you can renew your membership (BTW, I’m not an employee of CG Cookie, nor am I affiliated in any way) even if you have to go with a pre-paid card. Then you’ll have the benefit of the learning flows, etc. available here.
