Sorry for the long delay. I get soooo many questions.
For me, being about to develop apps was a valuable skill that just gave me more options. I look at coding as one of many:
Writing
Coding
Communication
Etc ....
How to motivate yourself:
Start learning ... say for example, do 20 minutes / day. StudioWeb will be ideal for you, since you can just do 2 video lessons a day, and their questions. This is all tracked and so you never have to figure out where you were.
Continue to do you daily training .... like doing a daily exercise. It's only 20 minutes ... and you don't need to shower after!
Start looking around for ideas on things you might build. Ask some business owners you know what kind of software they may need, or maybe a small business may need a website. Get a feel for what is out there.
Hope that helps!
