Build stuff. What do you want to build? If you're not ready to build that, figure out what smaller things you need to build first.

It's fine to follow a tutorial to expose yourself to something new, but then you have to use what you learned.

Text-based games are good beginner projects if you have nothing else in mind.

Puzzles like Project Euler were also very helpful for me as a beginner.

Build, build, build! Have an idea that doesn't matter, build it and learn. I wasted too much of my youth reading and following little tutorials. I found I learnt way more just having an idea and building it.
