When you consider that all you have to do to acquire (not master) a skill is get past the total beginner phase it actually makes quite a lot of sense to jump to something that catches your interest as soon as possible. You can use that newfound interest to break through the first few weeks which are generally the hardest. Basically catch the spark of curiosity and go start a fire instead of letting it vanish.

Okay long story short here is my advice: Just do it. Do it every day. If you find something more important and interesting then do that instead.

Of course it is even better if you have found something that is more important to you than everything else. There is no shame in doing the same thing for years.
