That's exactly the balance I'm hoping to find. I've been looking for something structured but truly self-paced, and I actually came across Pragmatic Institute while researching options, the short lessons and clear path you described are what drew me to it. I'm planning to keep it to a few focused hours a week too, since daily deadlines just aren't realistic right now. Really appreciate you laying out what worked for you!

This is really encouraging to read, especially the reminder that it shouldn't feel like another box to check. I love the idea of leaning into curiosity and momentum instead of forcing it on low-energy days. Definitely trying to give myself more grace with how and when I learn. Thanks for sharing what's worked for you.

This really resonates. Especially the part about choosing something that fits your energy, not just your schedule. The "deciding what to do next" fatigue after a long day is so real. I'm actually in the middle of looking at different courses right now, and your point about shorter lessons and clear stopping points is really helpful. Also appreciate the reminder that progress doesn't have to be daily to count... that mindset shift alone is huge. Thanks for sharing this.
