why not both. limit yourself to 1 tutorial/book (i prefer books). then build something. For any creative hobby i think the biggest issue is not having something you want to build.

For me it is. Even in my domain where I’m an expert and it’s fun, it only is if I’m working on something interesting.

My problem is honestly that I have too much I want to build, but I don't have all of the skills I need.

I get stuck into this mentality of "I need to learn and master X, Y and Z before I can even start building my dream"

Would be much better served by just building whatever and learning the skill
