Newbie's advice for other development newbies

I am trying to learn web development since July 2019. The first 3 months I spent many hours learning html, css and javascript. I felt very confident and when I began to see everything that I really needed to learn I believed that I would not be able to achieve it so I stopped studying.

In February of this year I started programming again, I kept learning NodeJS and React but spent a lot of time procrastinating. May part of the quarantine in my country I was procrastinating. I lost a lot of valuable time and just now think about everything I could have learned.

I keep procrastinating but not as much as before, but I have to go back to study to remember what I had learned.

Also I have the feeling that I am not good enough to learn to program. Luckily I found videos that lifted my spirits to move on.

My advice, although I am very new, is DO NOT procrastinate. Start now with what you want to learn.

I leave you some videos that have helped me lately. I consider these youtubers my mentors.

And others.

I made this post because I read the post by Fahad Imran and I realized that I did everything that I shouldn't do and he opened my mind.
