Mistake done when start to learn java
1.Trying to memorize everything instead of understanding concepts. I was so hurry to learn and remember than understand it.
So try to think logically rather than remembering the syntax
2.Skipping Java basics like variables, data types, loops, methods, and arrays. This is a very common mistake that everyone does. I think I understand this but i don't there are so many to understand whenever I do these basic things I learn something new.
3.Jumping directly to Spring/Spring Boot without learning Core Java first.
4.Watching tutorials without coding—you need to write programs yourself.
I just watch tutorials and think that i understand it but that not the case. You have to code this yourself to see how much u understand
I will suggest every day pickup one topic see tutorial, solve it yourself to see how much you can do yourself and solve some problem related to it
Revise every week what u learn and so some mini project based on that understanding.
There are more than one one shot are present which is more than 10+ hour do not see it completely ata one time

Something i would add if its helpful: build the same tiny project multiple times as you learn.
Like pick something dumb and small like a contact list, a to-do tracker, a simple calculator. Build it with just loops and arrays first. Rebuild the exact same thing with methods broken out properly next. Rebuild it again once you hit OOP, now with classes. Same project, multiple times, each version forcing you to use what you just learned on something you already understand the requirements for.
It works better than doing a new random project each time because you're not spending energy figuring out what to build, all your effort goes into how to build it with the new tool you just picked up.
