Friend of the show Bill Columbia asks

"How to balance always learning new things, but still getting stuff done?" - Bill Columbia


A good CTO would make this easier on you and lay some of the groundwork for learning & implementing new things
Use your most productive/efficient hours of day to learn new things
Write down some concrete goals before jumping into the water
Read the actual docs, not just blog posts others have written
learn the smallest possible thing that will be immediately useful to you
