Responsive mobile first design with SCSS

I went on hiatus for a little while, wasn't able to code for like a month straight, I have a general question

How do you guys keep focus on making these projects, I know I have been having problems staying focused on doing challenges because I have to do this while in the mist of learning javascript, my previous challenge drive me mad because I couldn't figure out the javascript, which lead to me looking for tutorials and just not code for a period of time, maybe I'm just not used to the frustrations that comes with learning a new language, I know a bit of c++ so seeing JS looking somewhat similar to c++ makes me think it's the same, only afterwards do I found out about ES6, inbuilt functions and what not, all of it was just too much for me at the time

Currently I am doing codewar problems and challenges in here as well, I think that's a good way to minmax my learning, codewar so I could question and google the fundamentals of JS and frontend mentor so I could perfect my html and css even more
