The first thing I ever did in Python, after the obligatory "Hello World", was to follow a tutorial to make a simple task tracker web app. Then I made a small routine to edit Excel files. A few months later I was getting paid to write Python code (and yes, I got lucky as shit, but my point is that it was easy to keep going as soon as I just got started). Just start making things, it doesn't really matter what as long as you enjoy it. It will be useful. Follow tutorials, look stuff up online, you'll absorb syntax without cramming it. You've got this!
