Yeah, I'm the same way. I like to be as far ahead as possible.. in fact, I usually like to be just a little bit ahead of myself. If I'm close to mastering a particular grammar point or vocab set, I'll start looking at a new one while I finish up, to kind of overlap and keep up the momentum while at the same time challenging myself by going over things that are beyond me at that time. Which I then learn.

Try not to "overdrive your headlights", as it were. Don't go studying causative-passive just after mastering -te form. Pace yourself and you'll soon figure out what you should be studying and when!

Right!
