Letter. How often to practice to learn a new craft?

Hey folks,

Let's start this week with more talks on important issues ;)

My development story continues. Reading books, watching videos and listening to experts have led me to lots of questions and frustration about the right way to write code so eventually get my designs look exactly as I intended them to look initially. When you are a newbie the weight of new knowledge could be merely born and at such moments we need to be exceptionally strong. In days of such struggles, I was recommended to look at Mozilla Developer Network (MDN). I might say it's a great source full of nuggets and there is one for beginners like me. So ma happy 😌

Concise materials covering only bare facts finally helped to get everything about HTML (for now) organized in my head. As a result, I accomplished an assessment for the 'Introduction to HTML' chapter and even performed above the project requirements 😎 Just have a look at this simple letter, btw it's responsive 😂.

You may notice the way how online version look is different from what you see here in the Dribbble shot 👀 I need to warn that it is a light version 😂 for now considering my frontend skillset. But I'm determined to improve it to the thing like in the attachment.

And here's a question for y'all — how often do you try new skills? What is your practice schedule to make new knowledge concrete?
Because I had several attempts to acquire coding craft but each time it vanished away thanks to the frequency I used it. The question is if I have to code every day now? 🤔
What do you think?
