The first step that you should take is to invest yourself in something non-trivially. Want to learn rails, then go buy agile web development in rails, want to learn github, move an active project out there, want to learn linux, reformat your machine so that’s all you have. You have to invest yourself, it plays a trick on your brain that makes it want to not waste that “investment” by quitting. If you can burn your boats (Hernán Cortés reference) all the better. I had no choice but to learn git or else I couldn’t keep working on my project, and as a side bonus I got the joy (and frustration) of working in git everyday.
Get out there and hustle, learn something new, do something that scares you, reach beyond your grasp.
