Any books/videos/online articles that you found 'illuminating' on how to become an autodidact?

Take a 350 page computer book on coding. Anyone found some good tips for tackling denser matters? I find myself losing motivation half-way through.. even if it is essential reading!

I'm learning several Python libraries for data analysis purposes, namely pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and indirectly Numpy. I'm not interested in machine learning / AI yet.Is there a good site to view 'best practice' / 'well-put-together' sample Jupyter notebooks that cover pandas, Matplotlib, and perhaps Seaborn? Notebooks that conduct an actual data analysis and do not attempt to teach...

I already have an ergonomic chair. It doesn't seem to help that much. Any tips for keeping proper posture while seated? I realize that standing and taking a break is good. Often I need to log a period of time in my chair though.

For example, Youtube videos always suggest the next great video that you should watch.Do you have any tips on how a person can pivot themselves from content consumption towards creation?I should also mention that this...

I find that Anki flashcards can only take me so far in learning computer programming. For me, Anki helps with retention, but not necessarily in connecting the dots. What other learning tools or strategies do you use alongside Anki?
