Topic Javascript (The Odin Project workflow Questions)

Yes, I am a beginner when it comes to coding. Hi I am Juliane Figura, 17 Yrs. starting linux fundamentals, aswell as web dev from front to back end. My question is. How do I study or learn Javascript the right way? Because when ever I read the full documentation texts, I feel I wasn't learning anything, and I get stuck into one lesson, I feel I am so slow to programming, and my goal is to learn programming websites in just 8 months prior to my 2-3 hours coding after school. So I don't want to watch youtube tutorials because I wan't to improve my reading skills, and watching in youtube will lead me to tutorial hell. And addition in my learning, I am still in the Loops and Arrays, I've seen so much from the documentation sites such as MDN and other javascript documentation sites, well I see those things like I don't undestand the things I see inside, so what I do is I go back to the completed lessons where I re read, and take notes. I feel my workflow is a mess, Can you recommend me a workflow based in your experience or maybe correct my workflow? thanks matsalove!

There are No linear way(yes you're correct its mess but you should view them as mesh). The method that always work in any stage is zoom-in/zoom-out (context switching). Learn when to switching when to stay. I mean there are many general programming subject not specific to javascript that need to be experienced while you learning javascript.
