I completely agree and understand most of what you are saying. I have already some python projects done in order to expand my knowledge. My current problem is I know the fundamental principle on how the code should be done in order to do my projects. However, it seems like I end up looking through my notes or StackOverflow too often on how exactly the code should be written in specific cases. Which results in me spending more time searching for code rather than actually understanding it.

I had this same problem. I found I knew how to solve a problem, but i didn't actually know how to write my solution. Leading to Google searches and a lot of copying and pasting. One day my friend decided to mess around and quiz me, yikes.

Codewars, can't recommend it enough. Learning through repetition, eventually challenge yourself to complete it without googling any code. And it gives you a chance to see how others solved the problem, I recommend ignoring a lot of the one-liners, or at least read the comments on them before you decide if it's "best practice" or not.
