I think I'm a little late to the party on this one but here it goes!
What has worked - Working on projects that let me practice new skills incrementally so that I can know that I've actually learned that one part of it before moving on. Finding projects that I'm excited about completing. Having lots of resources on hand that help me understand the concept without actually just giving me the answer.
What hasn't worked -Following along with tutorials and then jumping right into a project. I haven't really learned the skill I just learned to copy the code, so I never really know where to start or how to go with it. Also, picking random projects that I'm not particularly interested in just because they use the skill I think I've learned. It leads to getting frustrated because I don't know where to start, I feel overwhelmed and then I give up.
Long Term Goals - Complete one big(ish) project from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (what I'm currently trying to wrap my head around) and 2-3 smaller JavaScript projects to ensure I've really learned the skills.
Short Term Goals - find a way to learn and practice my skills without just watching the video/reading the tutorial and copying the code.
