I currently just learned C major and G major triad

My goal is is to learn the triads of all 12 keys in Major and Minor (so total 24 to learn). Can you please advise me the order in which I should learn? Is there any strategy in the order in which to learn? Or do I just choose at random? I am really into Blues improvisation and I am hoping practicing triads will help me get better at blues improvisation.

Here is Tomo's comment:

"Thanks so much for subscribing to my Guitar Wisdom. Normally, I suggest not to think like that. That’s too much expectation before you do your work. With each process, first you want to do a better job, working on each detail, keeping the best quality you can. So, you should not rush! Enjoy each key for a long time, if you can. Keep up the good work! I will be posting more lessons related to triads."

I'd say just stick with those 2 keys for now or maybe add the D triad so you can play some blues shuffle. Try playing those triads musically in different positions and invertions up and down the neck. Once you're comfortable with those, you can go try some of Tomo's blues lessons. He'll often demo in the 1-4-5 progression in different keys and you'll find that the positioning is similar to G-C-D but only on different fret. Before you know it you're able to do A-D-E, Bb-Eb-F, etc..
