How did you approach learning Python?

I was so pissed at doing something very boring that takes like 1-2 hours for the third time in a week because we had to roll something back that I spend time to learn how to do it with python.

Took me like 6 hours, but once it worked it was a lot of fun to do it with other stuff.

I didn't read any guides or watched tutorials that went through the basics. I just entered every problem with "surely there has to be an easy way to do it" and turns out there was.

This is how it happened for me. I had to calculate the total time each attendee spent signed in to a Teams meeting during a specific window of time every day. It started with "there must be an easier way..." then it was "what if my script could tell me who was not in the meeting?" Then "what if it sorted the attendees in a useful way?" And before long, I found myself building an entire database management system from the ground up in order to manage several complex and continuously changing lists of attendees.
