Learning to learn Python
summary
Clear, actionable plan: use Pomodoro 25/5 for focused practice and aim for four tomatoes = ~2 hours daily, pair that with sleep before bed consolidates learning; follow the Coursera course "Learning How to Learn" and the books A Mind for Numbers and Design for How People Learn; combine scaffolded exercises (Codecademy) with open puzzles (Python Challenge); build a personal learning plan, join study groups via Slack and Google Hangouts, get code review and cognitive apprenticeship, and iterate on small subproblems until working.
