I'm a Senior Developer and Co-host of Friday Night Deploys Podcast. I'm also a dad that likes to play video games and lift, always failing to keep it real with the kidz.

I cannot stress #2 more though. I struggled with that one personally when I started, I had this strange expectation on myself that if I wrote down notes and watched something I should just know it. What instead worked for me was not taking notes and repetition of working with the language or framework I was learning with some prior research into the documentation.
If I could add to #2 in anyway, it would be to go through the documentation before scouring courses or YouTube tutorials. Find out what, how, and why you're using it and maybe check out the API to get a grasp on what kind of patterns and syntax to expect.
