Take Enough Time For yourself

This is not a competition whatsoever where you will be like " I have to complete that course very fast and move on" it's fine to have a deadline for your goal but are you considering that you are moving loosely ( you are creating loose ends in your career as a self taught developer).
What do I mean?
You just started your journey as a Developer maybe because someone inspired you and it's now in your head.
" HTML is simple pls, CSS is not that difficult, JavaScript is not hard, I have watched some tutorials , I think it's time to learn REACT" all these positive thoughts make you Rush yourself and skip some important fundamentals of the language.
Now your React instructor is saying something about those fundamentals.
Hell crap..you have to go back and relearn , practice and do some projects with it.

You feel discouraged to relearn and started thinking " Maybe Programming is not mean for me, I don't know this things ". Then you Quit.

Take Enough Time For yourself
Be comfortable with HTML and CSS, learn Advanced CSS , build some mini-projects with it, read books, play CSS Diner to master your CSS. Go to behance and dribbble for inspiration ( the moment you see some cool UI/UX DESIGN, you will be " I will flex to get this, the navbar will be like this" you are already analysing and coding it offhand)
Take your time. Never compare yourself beginning to someone else's Intermediate.
Be the best version of yourself. Remember you are a product that a company someday will invest in.
Thanks.
