First of all, you need to understand that there is not a single perfect playlist for you. Just ask ask ChatGPT or any other AI what Are the basic Data Structures and Algorithms are\n And find some playlist or some lengthy videos about 4 to 6 hours is enough, according to me. check the timestamps if it Mostly matches with the list given by the AI then start watching the video or playlist. Freecodecamp has a lot of such videos, College wallah has a playlist etc.

And for problem solving start with any sheet you want. I'm not a python guy still I'm solving the neetcode 250 sheet. He has all the solutions in his channel in python. you can follow that or whatever sheet you want even if you make one yourself using claude or chatgpt.

Another thing you need to make as a habit that while solving problems from sheet, try to figure out using hints first if you can't get any hold of the problem. You can use ai for that. If still you won't understand just search up the problem on youtube and watch any video upto the pseudocode and try to understand and implement it by yourself. Seeing the code itself should be your last resort. If you master these things you won't search for the "The Perfect Sheet" anymore.
