From Jenni: How do I deal with self-reliance overwhelm?

How do you deal with self-reliance overwhelm? 

I'm making a list of skills I want to learn, but I get overwhelmed every time I visit it. What's the most important? What's something I actually want to learn? How much should I invest when I don't know if it suits my long term goals? 

The evaluation process just leaves me with more questions, but the biggest is in becoming self reliant on my own... How do I find the time to do it all by myself?  

I understand time management and prioritizing but I'm also a single parent with other responsibilities and challenges. 

Thanks for any input
