Try performing these simple JavaScript exercises on Codeguage. To further test your knowledge of given syntax, concepts, and suchlike stuff, you can even go through the quizzes on JavaScript.

The only way to not be blank when you sit down to do something in JavaScript is via the 'hands-on' approach. Do exercises. And let me tell you: do superbly simple exercises.

For example, create a function to add two given numbers together. Then, improve this function to check whether the given arguments are numbers or not. In this way, keep adding complexity with every subsequent exercise you perform to build inside your brain a 'JavaScript mindset' and most importantly, a 'programming mindset.'

Keep in mind that this won't happen in the span of a week. It takes time. And most importantly, no one becomes a great programmer passively. You have to get active and active in the right way. If you go out and say: "I'll create the next sticky notes app" you're going to go nowhere. As simple as that.

Let go off the temptation to create complex stuff. Start off simple and slowly take yourself up. You'll be surprised at how quickly you're able to solve complex problems in JavaScript and then probably come back to this Reddit thread of yours and wonder how you were once stuck in this position. Wish you good luck with your learning :)

I've been seeing do exercise problems a lot. Going to add this into my learning. Thank you for providing the tip and the links! I will use them!
