Just after your thoughts on learning.
Say if you wanted to learn 3 different things - a new web technology, ITIL/FITS and a network+/Microsoft Sever cert.
You work with servers 2 and half days a week and then you have some spare time. 3 afternoons.
Would it be best to do a different topic every afternoon or concentrate on one topic at a time?
 
That's up to you really. Are they in someway related or overlapping? I'd probably do one at a time thoroughly myself when learning multiple things. That said learning a little of everything seems to do the job in schools so it can't be that bad.
 
I think only you can answer that? Some people are better learners when they vary what they're learning, and would struggle to remember a topic they last did several months ago. However others might find it easier to concentrate one one at a time, and have no issue remembering something from a few months ago.

Easy test: Pick a number between 1 and 100 now, write it down then hide the paper. See if you remember it tomorrow, if so, pick another, see if you remember that the second day, and also the first number, rinse and repeat.

Then do the same thing but with three numbers now, and see if you remember all three in a few days.
 
Regardless of what way you choose to study the three subjects you won't learn anything by putting off time to post questions on the internet ;)
 
If you can learn it like that, I say go for it, if you are slightly dumb like me and need to learn it through a pc and a sata cable direct to your ear i say one topic at a time
