Got lost in a 3 hour tutorial loop, then a 20 minute project taught me more

Last Tuesday I sat down with a coffee to grind through this JavaScript course on loops and arrays. Three hours later I had watched 12 videos, taken zero actual notes, and couldn't tell you the difference between a for loop and a while loop if my life depended on it. Then my friend called me out and said "just build something tiny" so I made a simple to-do list that only adds and removes items. Took me 20 minutes and I finally got it. Has anyone else hit that wall where tutorials just stop sticking, and did you find a specific project size that actually worked for you?
