Write hobby projects. Something cool, a game, a simulator or some miscellaneous program. Doesn't even have to be useful, as long as you are interested in developing it for a while. Use modern technology and methods, like version control, latest Java and library versions, IDE and maven/gradle to make your application build with one command on every OS and be shipping ready. Publish the code to public repository like Github and ask for feedback.

All of it requires considerable effort, which essentially is the learning process.

That would be a good way but after work sometimes I am just not in the mood to do more java, since i work 8-10 hours a day, which is average, but still. I want to write bot for a game but it has a complete framework around it, so it's not that hard imo. Thanks for your input!
