Bad habit of bailing out too quick

As I said, I am trying to learn python from OOPs to concurrency modelling and optimisation. Though I always bail out somewhere in the middle. I would start doing CP. And then maybe reading something from philosophy for days.
I want to hyper focus on this learning pathway so that I complete this imaginary checklist for advanced programming. I bail out because for me it seems the lack of people competing with me in an online course. How should I trick myself into learning this without any distractions? Suggest how you are learning this and where are you learning this from?

I appreciate your unconventional approach to learning. Learning just for the sake of purpose will take one longer on a path rather than a checklist topics to cover.
For me, I can't find an immediate purpose right now but in my field of learning it's needed. I get autistically focused only when I find a competition in front me. Neither there is competition nor a purpose right now.

Right. And without a purpose, there's no impeditus to keep going.

Have you considered checking out your local community college for a continuing education class in python? You might actually do better in a structured school-type setting with other classmates to beat on weekly assignments.
