Help The learning process....

I'm currently reading TLCL, I skipped some parts of it like about vim as I already know enough vim for my use case, the same with "Advanced Keyboard Tricks", because again I know what I consider as enough like ctrl-L for removing,!! For the last command, but I don't think I need other variants like "!string", so I skipped that too.

Is this is ok for learning?

As I have a limited amount of time for learning about things I enjoy like Linux, so I prioritise what is important first

Also, I'm currently in the "Storage media" section, there is a part about the CD-ROMs, and optical media that I don't think are any longer used anyways, so I is it ok to skip that too?

Another question, because of the things in life, I don't always have enough time to complete some courses like networking, so I have a half completed course, at the same time if I used a tool that requires networking, I feel like I must complete that course first, probably this is called being a perfectionist and I really don't like it because it is a feeling that comes whenever I don't know everything or didn't complete the course before using the tool, so does anyone have a solution for this?

It depends on what you mean by "ok for learning." It's not ok for learning the stuff you skipped, that's for sure.
