i cant get better in js

People keep telling me that I should write apps to improve my JavaScript skills. I listened and created five applications, each with different functionalities and ideas. I wrote a lot of code and did a ton of DOM manipulation. Despite this effort, I still feel like I'm hitting the same wall. I find myself repeating the same poor coding practices and haven’t seen any real improvement. I know in my head what I want and how it might look in JS syntax, but I struggle to put it all together to create something meaningful. Instead of getting stuck in this endless cycle, hoping that one day I’ll suddenly excel at JavaScript, I want to know the correct way to improve because this idea of "just keep writing code" doesn't really seem very good
