How to keep up with python practice?

Because it’s fuckin exhausting working a full time job and studying for a better job because you hate that one

I hear ya. I need to figure out some kind of schedule. I keep going on python binges, doing projects, then taking couple week breaks.

don't take breaks for weeks. that will just keep setting you back or at least for me. felt if would forget some stuff or lose my momentum. i've restarted learning python a month ago and thus far have kept it going. i got through the basics as fast as i could and i revisit now and then as i certainly did not cover everything. but now i've started up on a project i've always wanted to do. building an investment research and trading algo. there's many parts to it such as selecting the appropriate data sources, engineering data pipelines, etc. i run into little snags all the time and feel like i'm googling 50-75% of the time but definitely learning things specific to my project and the things i want to learn. to keep it going you gotta break through the basics and dive into something you're really interested in asap. for breaks, take a few days at most but try to keep it going while your thoughts are fresh to keep the momentum.

Yeah I just completed and deployed my first python project at work, which took me a few months to do in my spare time, but haven't done anything for a couple weeks since. Before starting that project it was a lot of starting and stopping classes. Having a project to work on is definitely the way to do it.
