My friend can't understand my "everything all at once" approach to learning. What's your approach? (lemmy.ml)

I told my friend I was learning music. She asked what I was trying to learn, so I said music. She asked what in specific, so I gave her the current list. She thinks I'm kidding.

Guitar
Ukulele
Piano
Music theory
Reading music
Finger drumming
Abelton
Renoise
Bitwig
Maschine
Pigments
Buttersynth
Deluge
Minifreak
Polyend Play
Polyend Tracker
Dirtywave M8
Chompi
Abelton Note
Koala
Loopy Pro

Those are the things I'm actively working on with a laundry list of other things for later. The moment I get a little bored with one thing, I jump to another.

Same. I also find it annoying of myself, because I'm not satisfied that a function does a thing but not the why/how. I need to know what exactly is happening behind the scenes to modify the data, otherwise I don't know if it's the best method to use in that scenario.
