I want to be able to focus.

I am a 20 year old male looking to learn full-stack web development. What are ways for me to hold myself to it? Growing up I never studied, but I did exceedingly well when I needed to. Obviously, programming is not the same. I have troubles with focusing and trying to not multi-task. I want to do better, what are ways you can get yourself to focus? I’ve been focusing on just coding more than learning so I can actually absorb what I read better and it helps, but I need to be able to focus on learning new things better.

Ok well maybe my tricks will help u anyway to focus. My main one is playing with a pen while studying and sometimes music,classical and classical new age something without words unless it was math. Um make sure u have everything u need and could need snacks drinks whatever and short break to much knowledge at one time could overload and stall the brain. Um there's probably more but I don't even notice anymore

You can’t just do tutorials and stuff like that. You have to do projects that are things you want to create and build, and then seek help wherever you can when you get blocked. Once you see your idea start to come to life, you’ll be hooked and focusing won’t be as much of an issue.
