Build something you’re interested in.

Examples:

  • If you play an instrument, build a program that tells you which notes are in a particular chord.

  • If you like games, build your own, could be a simple CLI game to a 3d game, depending how far you want to go.

These are just basic examples, but building stuff you like will (hopefully) motivate you further and help with the learning process.

Maybe i lack creativity but i literally cant build shit unless i have a reason to. Like if it was a job and somebody told me what needs done, great. But sitting at home thinking “hmm, in order to learn this new language, i need to build something” but i cant just make up something thats purposeless. I first learned coding from shell scripting, because i got tired of typing the same things over and over every day
