Don’t study too much, just take a small problem (e.g. interest calculator) and start making it, it’s way easier to learn that way (for me at least). Don’t make the tasks too big and ensure the end goal is clear. You can always add new things later after you’ve finished your original idea.

And another piece of advice: it’s better to finish something small than to get bored and disinterested making something bigger.
