    What I do is I set a time related goal and a minimum time requirement. So for me my weekly goal of blender stuff is 35 hours a week, ideally I’d spend 5 hours a day. My minimum is 10 hours a week which is basically 90 minutes a day.

    I get frustrated easily on tutorials when I hit the same buttons and get a different result so I mix the tutorials with little learning projects where I make objects from my home. My rule for the mini projects is simple “don’t try and make it perfect”. Example, I created my desk, I gave it the color and shine it has in real life, but I didn’t make the drawers or the drawer handles. Why? because its really complicated for me and if I try i’d just get frustrated/depressed.

    As a noob, what I do is use the tutorials to learn new/hard things and make mini projects to apply the stuff i’ve practiced that isn’t super complicated.
