Shows a concrete workflow for taming overwhelm: set a ranked list of learning goals, break each into tiny steps, and reserve a weekly few hours for practice. Uses real tools and projects—Sass maps, PostCSS playground, Flexbox, CSS animations—and describes rebuilding a fragile codebase touched by about 10 developers over four years, deliberately breaking and fixing things to learn. Describes a z-index loop function built to standardize stacking and a site rebuilt for slow 3G performance.
