How do you avoid this trap in learning?

In the information age we live in, it's so easy to be overwhelmed with the sheer amount of reading material we have at our disposal. I love learning new things, as well as improving my understanding of topics I'm already familiar with. In the little time I have to learn/read, I find myself falling into a trap of jumping around a lot. Some days I find myself watching Machine Learning lecture videos, some days reading up on computer architecture, design patterns, and the list goes on.

I'm very interested to learn how other people cope with this problem. There is too much to learn, but not enough time...
