I think one of the most helpful things with learning vim is to realize that you don't need to use <Esc> to get out of insert mode! Both <C c> (CTRL+C) and <C [> (CTRL+[) will work. Using these allows you to switch modes without leaving home row, which I think really helps with learning muscle memory.
Also, I can't speak for everyone, but I really got used to vim by forcing myself to use ASDF HJKL as home row instead of ASDF JKL; as home row like I was taught in school
