How to become more motivated to learn Python

[mviljamaa]

I tend to not have the patience to go through programming tutorials, 
because I think they're boring. I sometimes use them as reference to see 
or recall how something is done, but I don't step through them in order 
to learn a language.

Rather, I write programs to learn programming and languages. It's easier 
if you have some background in programming in some other language.

I merely pick personal projects that interest me and then try to develop 
them to finish. I seek resources that help me do what I need to.

I think it's easier to be motivated in actual projects that interest 
you, rather than programming assignments.
