Start journalling your growth from this point onwards. Write down what you want to learn, what you want to accomplish. Then take steps every day towards your goals in your journal.

Write down your side project ideas and work on projects that improve your skills.

The idea of journalling is to get yourself to be reflective and adaptive to your situation.

Edit: write goals that are achievable and that you think you think aren't. Why both? Over time some of your goals shall look different. You can bank on gradual progress. Everyone has the same 24 hours a day, try use them on things you enjoy and that work toward your goals.
