What study/practice regimen does everyone have?

I always recommend applying what you've learned after finishing a course, even if it takes a few days to get the hang of it. I like to jump onto something like CodePen and start replicating what was taught by memory (if needed, referring back to the course is absolutely fine), adding my own adjustments and features along the way. For me, and many others, it's the only way to retain the knowledge gained by studying these courses. If I wait a few days before practicing I personally tend to forget a lot, so my suggestion is go straight to practice after each course if possible.

It's been a strange one for me. I've been discouraged by knowing that so many people are ahead of me, and its really gonna take a ton of work to get to that point where I can make something that I want. however, most of the things I have enjoyed in the past, I never got really good at because whenever I hit a road block I gave up. I decided that with coding, I would push through whatever came at me, even if a simple function took me an hour to comprehend. and that's it. I push through it, being prepared to be frustrated, and learning how to deal with frustration. so far, I'm still on the basics of python, but I've had a few moments where things clicked after I spent a long time trying to figure them out, and that satisfying feeling has kept me going a little bit. as far as actual regimen goes, I simply WANT to learn code. I come home from work everyday and I just sit down and start watching videos and getting familiar with code. I don't have to do it everyday.

my biggest recommendation is this: learn to suffer. build perseverance, and character with it.

I am just trying to figure out how to make an efficient use of time when it comes to learning and practice. I certainly want to make sure I get a good grasp of a concept before moving on and preferably have an example to add to my portfolio/GitHub.
