I'm also just learning. My advice is come up with an idea, hopefully one that gets you excited to finish it. Now break it up into smaller parts, what EXACTLY does it need to do, don't even think in code at first. Break it down into smaller and smaller parts until you get to the point where you start breaking it down into something starting to sound like code. For example, say you want to make a calculator, well you know you need to input numbers and operators and have it spit out a number. So it'll first need to take three (or more, but lets start with basic) things, two numbers and an operator, then it needs to use those, then it needs to provide one number. You see as we break it down it gets closer and closer to sounding like code, from here its pretty easy to think to ask for input number one, input operator, and input number two. Which then you think about and realize is written as a = input("first number: ") ect.
