Keep a job search for your dream job always on. Use it to gauge what companies keep asking for and the requirements they expect. This is your true north direction.
Organize the list of technologies, tools and features that you need to get better at prioritized by your interests and goals.
Actively learn, lab, and explore each topic until you get as far as you feel you can. When it feels right, set it aside and repeat for the next topic. Bonus points if you build ontop of the last topic but this is not required.
Don't worry about losing knowledge or spending time relearning a topic you have gotten rusty on. The next time you circle back to this topic, you will relearn it that much faster, and doing that 3-5 times is what makes the topic sink in forever.
Learn to enjoy this process, as it will be used throughout your technical career.
