Probably what you are saying is best ways to achieve success in short time. You are absolutely right that focusing on getting better as an artist is vague, chaotic and not planed at all. But I always will admire the best, artist who not only can draw horses and cowboys riding to right but those who could draw any image they wanted just like old masters. I have a huge book with old art and I go through it every day thinking "if someone would today drawn a concept art for a game with such precision that would knock everybody to their knees". Your strategy is good for work projects, when you are working in company on something precise like gloomy, fantasy landscape, you should be interested in those topics the most. But personally I believe in targeting highest you can. Even if you never achieve your goal and stops in middle it will be still higher than in middle of closer goal.
