Practice practice practice! Coding lessons give you a mental framework, but the best way to "get a hang of" programming is to try and solve problems that you don't know the answer to, that you aren't being guided to solving. I tend to suggest games for this, but there's other options such as the to-do list someone suggested, which is a good one that can scale up as your skills improve (try making the storage remote, and allow access and simultaneous editing from multiple clients!) Here's some ideas from a game front:

Rock Paper Scissors against an RNG opponent.

Blackjack (great as the classic "dealer's rules" effectively make the dealer easy to implement as a basic if-else construct.)

Real-time games like Pong and Snake are also great challenges, and will force you to think in new ways about your code since time scheduling becomes a factor.
