It takes effort.
And a forum full of coders to bug as a helpful resource never hurts.
I find it's not always that easy. Having a clear goal/objective to program for tends to give you the drive to code. After all computation was basically designed to solve problems involved with defineable and repeatable steps.
You can learn all the syntax you want but if you're not coding to solve problems or achieve a clear objective, then I don't think you're really getting the value you should be out of your training.
OP, Project Euler is pretty cool and gives you some objectives to code for. Hackerrank is a similar website. Project Odin focuses specifically on Web development and I don't know if it's challenged based like the other two or if it's more step by step build a website/Web portfolio.
If you need instruction on syntax or specific libraries or language features there are plenty of freely available resources online for that. Similarly if you want instruction on how to solve problems computationally.
If you want game specific instruction there is an online video series called handmade hero where a supposedly talented game programed walks through creating a 2d side scrolling game from scratch. I only say supposedly talented because I've never seen it but have heard others say he's legit.
