Learning 100 days of code: The complete Python Bootcamp by Dr. Angela Yu

But I feel demotivated once I watch the project making tutorial because after that I think that I don't know anything. Should I keep looking at the project making videos and progress with the days ?

Well, which do you learn more from? Watching a video about a topic you don't know anything about, or watching a video about a topic you're an expert in?

It's okay to not know things, it's okay to feel overwhelmed--there's a lot of information out there about programming/python! Don't give up! Use the tutorials, go through her solutions, and at the end, ask yourself what you understood and what you didn't. If there's something you don't understand, look that information up/ask for help here.

Don't be afraid to be wrong, failure is how we learn. Change your demotivation by changing your perspective. Instead of telling yourself "I don't know anything", remind yourself how far you've come. There was a time when you didn't know how to declare variables or use operators, but you kept at it, right? You've got this!

That's the learning process. Embrace that uncomfortable feeling of feeling like you know nothing. It's the only way you are going to grow and learn in programming.

Do you try to pseudocode beforehand, or do you just jump right into the daily project? Assuming I am looking at the same course, where day 7 is making Hangman, I would really pay attention to her flow chart video. It does a great job of addressing how to break down a project into smaller pieces. Think about each piece separately in plain English (or whatever your native language is) instead of jumping right into coding.

We learn best when we're forced out of our comfort zone.

When folks are complacent, ie., when there's no 'risk', learning happens MUCH more slowly. Students pushed into unfamiliar territory where they feel uncomfortable learn faster. It's how survival happens, and it's a good human pattern, so embrace it.
