A Mind for Numbers by Dr. Barbara Oakley offers great tips on how to combine creative and analytical ways of thinking when learning new concepts.

Khan Academy. One of my beloved providers of online courses out there. Find a topic of your interest and most likely it is already on their page explained in a simple manner with exercises and gamification to boot.
Accidentally or not, they have also made the best motivational video. 💎

Web Dev Simplified & Programming with Mosh. Speaking of simple, I’ve found these two YouTube channels extremely useful for repetition or hearing an extra explanation. In addition to the short explanation videos they both offer tutorials and courses which are still on my list.
