"There is no wind that blows right for the sailor who doesn't know where the harbor is."
Decide and have clear what is the question, then look for the answer.

For the fun of learn, pick anything you can do and put some time of it. If you are like me, you will read some info about X and and if it pick you interest go ahead.
But without a direction, you will waste time. You will dismiss things that are good and double-focus in things that not..

"I am facing a lot of challenging (which ones?) data analytics and software development problems during the day (which ones?)"
"Data analytics (and his not-famous cousin reports)" is far more about re-shape and clean data than do cool algorithms. The last mille is the easy and the 909% (yep, 909%, not a typo!) is the hard, in opposite to normal development.
Having a clean, well defined schema/database/warehouse/etc is the thing here. Run your super-fancy mathy-thingy on it? Others have solved that!
Most likely, non-normal-dev will have a bigger impact on this kind of jobs, so not just focus in tech.. (and I don't drink the fallacy that your selection of tools not matter. But is also a mistake think that are the only thing that matter).
