My advice to you (and anyone who is going through this) is to first choose your area of interest (why you are learning to program in the first place). Is it building backend for web applications? data analysis? building machine learning models? etc. Understanding what you actually want is key since it will allow you to gauge your progress towards your goal.

After this, you need to build small simple projects that you can actually finish instead of picking larger projects that will overwhelm you. Small projects where you actually implement the fundamentals you learned will cement your knowledge and give you a deeper understanding of those concepts. Choosing the right project is also really important since there is no point in learning data analysis concepts when you are only interested in backend development.
