For me, motivation is key.
I pick something I want to make, and make the feature that provides the most "bang for my buck" per say.
IE: When I tinker around with my Arduino Uno, I always try to get something to move first (turn the motors). Huge motivational boost for me. THAN, I figure out how the heck to get it to talk wirelessly with my laptop.
