Find what works for you.

My advice - break down big goals into small ones that you can achieve in 1 day.

If you fail, don't stress! Change can take years.

Even 15 minutes of achievement matters. Every big goal is achieved through an accumulation of 15 minute portions.

In my own life, I taught myself how to program by giving up constantly. The first time I tried to program, I didn't even succeed in getting the compiler to work! I couldn't even get the "hello world" program to run. I gave up for months. But I kept coming back to it (and giving up) and now I'm pretty good - I even lived off income from programming contract work for 2 years.
