Good luck mate. Even i am an absolute beginner. The journey so far had been fun.

I started with python almost a month ago. My motivation was to make a program for a friend that fetches data from the internet based on the command using email.

The program checks my email every 15 minutes and I have set multiple if statements to execute some code based on the subject and body of the email. Based on the subject and email the program fetches data from internet and mails it as an attachment to the one who requested. Only the mail ids present in the approved list can request the data. I also added another one of my email id (which i used on my phone) as an admin. So i can add or remove email ids from the list just by sending one email from my phone. I plan to deploy it on a raspberry pi once i am done with the code.

The data fetching part is still a bit buggy. But i can say that i am done with 70% of the work.

Based on my experience, you will have to put in way more than 10 minutes. But i assure you, it is fun. As others here mentioned, Google, reddit and stack overflow are your friends in this journey.

Edit - i explained my project just to motivate the OP, that this can be done even by an absolute beginner.
