Find a subject or something that is important to you right now. A lot better to learn things just-in-time instead of just-in-case. Questions like "what I am obsessively thinking about or struggling with" tend to be helpful.

I keep track of book recommendation by people I know or from sources I follow on the internet using Goodreads. So whenever I decide to learn about about X, I check first my book recommendation books.

If available also try to read a book summary before reading the actual book. Often I find myself reading books based on the title & description and only halfway through I discover that the book isn't really about the things I thought it is.
