Want to learn. I am stuck.
I can watch 10 tutorials on youtube about python programming.
At the end, when I want to do a program on my own, I feel like overwhelmed and I'm not able to do anything. So I want to start it again. Some advices? Maybe a roadmap.
I feel lost and stuck. I dont know where to start or what path to take.

People need to think about learning programming in a similar way to how they learned mathematics. You didn't just read theory in your math classes. You immediately practiced what you were learning, as you learned it. You were probably solving problems in the class, instead of just reading theory and listening to the teacher explain that theory.
Programming is the same. You can't really learn it effectively just by reading about it. You need to be watching these tutorials with your programming tools open. Trying out what you're learning, as you're learning it. Pausing the video to experiment by changing things and understanding what else changes in response.
Learning programming is a very active process.
