Remember that with coding you learn by doing, so resist the urge to "just watch videos" or even "watch videos and take notes". I recommend to my students to always have a side-project of some type. Pick something that will motivate you, such a game, or an application that you find interesting. Have that motivate you to learn the next thing, instead of just picking new topics and reading them one at a time. When we have limited free time as adults, learning new skills is all about maintaining that motivation and direction, so when self-teaching project work is probably the very best motivation and guide in lieu of an instructor.
