I hate mostly all of my inability to focus and the fact that I like programming. Surprisingly, they aren't a good match. Im trying to actually learn Java and react native. Anyone have any solutions for quick and effective ways to learn?

Learn by doing a project

I agree. The best way is to "get ur hands dirty". Start simple and work ur way to mor complexed projects.

@DivSyntax what would you classify as a starting point

@sharktits any ideas for starter projects

@hyperlisk Depends on how much Java u knw already. If its not much I would start with console stuff. Then work with GUI. I created a calculator, tax app, and a tip calculator in console then turned two of them(tip, and calculator) into GUI apps.

@DivSyntax ok thanks

Well since you play guitar why not build something that caters to that? :P maybe you can make a new ultimate guitar app since the one we have currently suuuucks. Since you mentioned react native, would I be wrong to guess that you are into mobile development? Building a couple of small Android projects could be an excellent idea. Or try using one of the existing Java libs to build a game. Or build a small Java website using a lib like Spark(thanks @sharktits)

@AleCx04 💚

Instead of react native, you could try flutter.
