Take one course with a clear result attached

A certificate, a skill, a portfolio piece. Not another saved playlist.

Unfinished courses are the most common form of intellectual clutter. The problem is usually that there was no output attached.

Choose one with an assessment, a deadline, or a deliverable, and put the sessions in your calendar as appointments.

One finished course beats nine started ones by an enormous margin.
