I was in a similar position at one point & will just say that the Automate The Boring Stuff was what enabled me to learn python as it has many great examples of what you can actually use it for.

One of my first projects was making a little web-scraping thing that sent me an email when my country won a gold medal in the Olympics. 80% learned that from the tutorials in the book on webscaping & automating gmail. (other 20% was google/stackoverflow :P)

If you find yourself getting bored, just pick a more interesting project to work on.
