Print out the Emacs reference card

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/refcards/pdf/refcard.pdf

and then start using it for your daily work.  When you have to do
something, and you guess that Emacs has special support for it (either
built-in or through an add-on package), look in the docs for it, or
Google for it.  Of course you will still miss a lot of things that it
can do, but Emacs is like an Encyclopedia: You don't learn everything
that's in it, just what you need.
