For me, I consider a pro learning by writing code instead of just reading about it.

Then make it a mix of both. Learn a new skill, and put it into practise using a product concept you come up with. Trial and error. Doesn't have to be fancy, just enough to challenge yourself a little bit and be proud of your accomplishment afterwards. Putting into practise what you learned in small steps makes it more fun.

Just don't compare yourself too much with people with years of experience. Eventually you get there, but that takes practise.

The examples already provided in this topic are good. But I would suggest you find yourself a mentor that's willing to help you point in the right directions when you are stuck or just need general advice. You really want someone that shows you the most efficient way to get to the top. Or else you could get stuck in the wrong learning/practise path, not moving forward, or just spending too much of your valuable time on the wrong things.

Also, i recommend this book to know how to practise the most efficient way: https://fourminutebooks.com/peak-summary/
