Ah man, this sounds exactly how I am feeling all the time too! Good insight :)
I find that this idea of not having enough time to master a certain topic or skill is actually keeping me from starting certain projects at all. Which can be a bit depressing.
What I try to do is break things down into such small pieces that each of them are doable. After a while of doing these smaller chunks got me where I initially wanted to be.
