Assuming you earn enough, throw money at your problems. Many problems can be solved, or made significantly easier by money.
Don't do the research yourself, pay a specialist instead.
Missing a winter wardrobe? Find a personal stylist (okay, requires some research to find, but much less than finding fitting wardrobe yourself). They will guide the shopping process, the outcome is most likely better than what you can come up with even with weeks of research. Costs a pretty penny, might feel funny, but it's effective.
Not happy with your art? Get a personal tutor for drawing.
Learning a language, but struggling with it? Tutor it is.
Learning is so much faster with personalized feedback and accountability, a good tutor provides both.
