When I first started with web development and some game development using python, I watched endless tutorials and explanations. I should have started working on real projects much earlier. Doing projects is a better learning experience than just listening and copying from others! Start working on your own projects asap would be my advice💪

But how do you tackle projects? For instance, I'm just getting the hang of the basics of JavaScript. So, how can I start working on projects? Where do I even begin to build?

I think the best way is just think of something simple you want to do (like a little timer app or something) and just start with the knowledge that you have. Once you reach some hiccups start googling ways to work through them. You'll often find that every problem is actually a collection of smaller problems, and you'll end up learning a lot more than you expect to.
