There is so much to learn (automated theorem proving, graph neural networks, reinforcement learning, theory of mind, ...), yet so little time. Any tips on how to prioritize?

I suggest choosing one main direction for a fixed period of time(like a month) and sticking with it, without distractions on other interests. After period ends, you select a theme for the next one. imo helps with getting through the boring/hard parts and seeing results.

I would focus on one area that I find the most interesting and where I would be willing to go all the way [1].

[1] from personal experience, if you many things, you will not end up doing many of them at a top level.
