Try to come up with small projects to teach expand your skills a little at a time without putting too much on your plate at once.
- Web Scraper - Grab some data that is useful to you, parse it some way, store it, call it later and use it for something else?
- Create a giveaway entry bot, or other simple bot.
- Try to automate a small task, modifying a CSV or text file, in some way that is useful to you.
Deciding on projects to learn with can be tough, but once you do, things will start to click, and it WILL snowball, you just have to do things you actually find interesting or useful.
