When starting out to build a skill like programming, 3D modelling, digital art, or cooking, you can look first for expert-created resources.
For example, when starting out to 3D model, you can look for speedsculpting videos or a competition that involves many talented people in the industry.
In programming, you could look for devlogs, highly advanced competitions, fairly popular software projects, or a live coding session.

The purpose of this is twofold: to serve as a solid short-term goal (as indicated by the title) and to create inspirations for your future projects.
If you [[id:fdf9e3eb-02c5-47a6-b586-e71a5c92d01a][Look for live sessions as another form of examples]], the inspirations are especially great as you watch the actual process unfold.

Of course, this does not entirely replace looking out for beginner-friendly resources and communities as an entryway.
In fact, it is a bad idea to start learning with the advanced resources.
Beware, this could lead into actively consuming just the resources without the practice.
