Get a cool project to build. I do advent of code (it's a tough one though, so don't expect to get very far. The first few days are easiest.)

Another project I build that I liked was: Build a green window with a grey square (Bunny in a field) Make the square move around randomly Make dark green squares (plants) If the bunny comes within x distance of a plant it goes there to eat it.

Then I started complicating things with generating random ponds the bunnies couldn't cross. Creating a fox that ate the bunnies. Bunnies procreate. Etc.

I liked that project and I learned a lot while building it.
