Wondering how I can best spend my time in a vast universe of infosec knowledge.

I feel like a lot of learning websites are geared towards pentesting, because it is a very active / immediate skillset - if you do things right, you'll get a flag.txt or something. I guess I'm just looking for something that isn't just watching videos or plugging away at Jeopardy style learning (HtB, Try Hack Me). But I'm also a bit directionless at the moment - there's so much to learn and I don't know which way to go.

Edit: decided to peruse some of the older topics for immediate gratification, came across your great guide here - https://shellsharks.com/getting-into-information-security - problem is I do a lot of this stuff already. I think I need to figure out my own direction.
