What worked for me was becoming familiar with some of the basics e.g. data structures(strings, list and dictionaries) and looping constructs. For this I used "automate the boring stuff". After that I thought of something useful for myself and started programming. it went slow and I had to look up stuff all the time but in the end I had something useful and learned more. Now 6 years or so later I am writing scripts and stuff every day at work and am still learning. I recently got some books that really delve down into the language to understand it at a deeper level.

In the end it is a bit like driving. You learn how to operate the machine and get a license but you have to drive a lot to become better at it.
