I have from 25-50 or maybe more things I need to get done in my normal everyday life - most of which either improve my life in some significant way, or improves someone else's in a way that pays my bills. I run out of spoons about 15 before I need to learn a new something that will add minor improvement to my life in some way. This includes things like holding down a key longer gives you the alternative characters for it, or a new operating system or device, or all the little features on my TV or the many thousands of ways Alexa can be harnessed to do some really cool things.
On a day where I have nothing to do and I feel particularly inclined, I might learn one of those things - but chances are I'll spend it doing something else that brings me joy. Cooking, spending time with loved ones, going for a ride on my bike or a swim. These are the choices and trade offs I make. Admittedly, that hampers my ability to use certain devices because I don't understand them completely, but it gives me time to enjoy my life in other ways.

I can't work with two screens, there have it.
I didn't touch MacOS for a long time, but I'm able (and I think you can too) to get manual, guide, documentation in seconds and adapt to it. I'm sure you can do the same thing as me.
I must say that I'm all about efficiency and administration outside computers. (Do you have ever thought about gaming? To use the right skill slot, to gain maximum velocity at that given level?) I apply "gaming skills" to my life.
I'm going to make a blog about it.
