I can't overstate what a good advice this is. It's counterintuitive, but if you are just starting out, reinventing the wheel is the best practice you can get!
I too think the same seriously. This is not sarcasm right ?

Assuming you know the basics of calculus: learn lots of linear algebra, lots of probability theory, mathematical statistics, and optimization. But you don't have to wait to learn all the math to get going
I am just starting with Calculus. Currently I am only comfortable with linear algebra - rest all I am just starting to learn. Do you recommend any good books or resources?
Scala. I did the two functional programming in Scala courses on Coursera. I'm currently going through Martin Odersky's book and am in the middle of my first small project. I'm just starting to turn the corner on feeling productive and actually understanding what the hell I'm doing. If I am half as productive in Scala as I am in my main language (JS) by the end of the year, I'll be quite happy.
I want to learn to drive and get a UK driving licence.
I'd advise against the one week intensive courses - the muscle memory just takes time to build. A one hour lesson once a week is about right, with maybe an hour more practice per week if you can persuade a friend to take you out. Allow one week per your year of age is the rule of thumb. Good luck!
I learned in my early 20's and I did it in 6 weeks. Get the theory part out of the way ASAP.
When you have got your license is the time to watch out for complacency. The road is full of egos driving Audis, don't get involved. Keep a safe gap and you will deal well with uncertainty
I want to learn Machine Learning from scratch. Please let me know all prerequisites for the same. Please help me learn.
Seriously how good is your calculus and statistics? Joel Grus book 'Data science from scratch' might be a start.
Woodworking -> I'm going to have more free time this year so I want to get back into learning woodworking and actually building and finishing pieces. My first goal is to re-build my workbench and make it smaller so it takes up less room in the garage. After that, I have an idea on a stand that will go next to my couch.
Marketing -> I've created a software product that I'm selling and I want to figure out how to market better so that I can actually sell my product

I'm in a similar position. We should create a group for the subset of solo founders who are inclined toward product and not sales. It is a tough position to be in for sure (though I imagine the inverse has its own problems).
I'm a solo founder (of a slow growing 'lifestyle' business, not a fast growing startup) who is inclined towards product. The trick is to build a product that requires minimal sales effort. My app costs 40€, and is geared towards individual users. You don't need a sales team to sell a 40€ app -- just a few emails to announce your product on the right mailing list, and a few cold emails to key influencers. And a lot of…
