Remembering Tricks and Routines

Hey there! I've only been at it for a couple of months (just retired, actually) practicing tricks, some moves, and routines that I'm constantly discovering on YouTube, where I follow some magicians. Honestly, I'm putting in several hours every day. Once I practice and feel like I've got a trick down with its corresponding move (or so I think, because it looks good to me), I see another one I like, and I start working on that too, and so on. I try to keep up with all the ones I'm learning, but then I hit a point where, even if I knew how to do it, I forget the steps, confusing them with another trick, or I forget how the setup was done (if it even has one), etc. Is it likely that I'm trying to bite off more than I can chew? Should I just keep repeating them, even if I think I've got them down? What can I do to remember everything? Sorry for the long post, I'm hoping for your wise advice. Thanks!
