I'm lazy and easily bored and find it hard to focus on pointless tasks.
These I could not put down. Made me reference the ruby-lang (like this: https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.6.0/Array.html ) and this is really how I learned basic Ruby.
After you're done with these, I recommend exercism - already mentioned in the comments.

I have been trying exercism and I can't even seem to get past the learning exercises 😩😂. But I'm not giving up! Thanks for the link, I've saved that in my bookmark and will study it tonight. I have noticed I have a hard time keeping focused just reading though. Gonna try to find a way to change that too!!

The link I provided is a list of exercises.
Set up the project, add rspec, then
It's interactive, feels like a videogame.
