This is a good question! I am 2 years in as well (almost), and ask myself this. I don’t want to overwhelm myself, but new song do call to me. I also struggle with the need to get a piece “good enough” before moving on, which isn’t always necessary.
I do work on several things, songs, lessons and practice pieces, not to mention just practicing cord changes, progressions, finger picking patterns, arpeggios, legato, scales.
I have several songs I have been slowly consolidating for almost a year or more. My “repertoire” if you will. Then one easy, one moderate and one dreamer (stretch of a song) or two. Some of them are just because I like the song, but also pick songs or pieces that require what you need to practice.
If you are tired of the song, shift it into lower gear, practice it once or twice a session or every other and start one or two new things.
