I like learning one basic at a time and build one full project from the scratch to learn. I just find i learn faster that way.

I've been doing CAD professionally for over 20 years and I'm still learning how to do new stuff. The systems now are capable of so much more than when I started out. But the only reason I can still do stuff is I kept up my skills. Sometimes that means going out an looking for CAD work to do, I call it "proficiency time"
The important thing is to practice, practice, practice. Draw little do-hickies that just look cool. Try drawing a Kline's bottle (just don't be suprised if Inventor freaks out, you might have to trick it to get that one to work). Try designing next year's drive train. Try a new kitchen gadget. Hmmm Maybe I'll try designing a decent egg beater for my wife and pop it into an SLS machine to build it.
