I like your points! But I would change the last one a bit. Instead of something useful, make something meaningful for yourself. Usefulness of tools you create as a beginner is often lost quickly. Or it becomes a necessity to change your tool to keep it useful. Go for something meaningful (when something is useful, it is often also meaningful) Instead. A own website is not always useful, but can be meaningful for yourself.

I agree. Especially with the personal website.

Most of my initial knowledge about HTML & CSS was derived from building personal websites for myself. In high school, it underwent radical changes every week! The more I found out about img tags and gifs, the more 90s design was put in. :D Definitely a meaningful project for me.
