    What feels overwhelming now, will feel small in the future as you learn more and more.

    Also beyond the tools, maybe it's more of finding your own style and voice. Get out of template world and website world. Tutorials are good and all. But do something weird and push your brain. Question the whys and hows. Read books. Study the odd people and places and stories in your rural town. Pick up a camera or a brush or raw materials to integrate into your work, or maybe get hardcore into full on programming. Give yourself odd assignments to create a bulk of new personal work. Out of that you'll probably find a spark, and end up with a kick ass folio that is unlike anyone else.
