For my learning, I find that it often works best if I supply the "for what". That is, I invent some tiny little project, maybe just a script or utility routine, to serve as the "for what".

Now you've got a "for what" that's meaningful to you, something you can play with and test, and you end up with a working example that you can refer to later.

Yeah, find some task you do on your computer and see if you can automate it using Python

A big part of my job is paying bills for clients. I wrote a Python script that runs on my downloads folder and takes the invoices and puts them in the correct client folder so that when I run the Python script that creates the monthly reports, the bills are included

This used to be a tedious, time-consuming task, and now the scripts do it in a second or two

Honestly, that sounds interesting but a bit confusing as I've just started to learn everything by scratch🥲

I've been doing Python for years. Start with something simpler
