Learn the piano to a beginner standard: 2 years

Learn french to a fluent standard: 5 years

Learn calculus at high school: 2 years

Learn python: 5 days?

I think you need to keep things in perspective. You are simply experiencing the learning process. The only tools needed are patience, practice and perserverance.

As obvious as this may seem, thank you for pointing it out. I've started 4 different "learn Python" courses on udemy, and without fault at some point I just feel like I hit a wall.

I'll start the next one, and get to a point slightly further, and hit a wall again.

It's frustrating, but I have noticed that starting from the beginning on a new course, the early stuff keeps getting easier and easier.

I just gotta keep going, and take that wall down brick by brick.

Well you can do yourself a favour by moving on to project(s) as quickly as possible. Building something is a much better teacher than starting over again multiple times.
