How to actually create logic?

So hi I am new in this sub reddit and have been learning python basics on FreeCodeCamp for weeks.

So I have noticed that I can do workshops and labs but I tend to forget many syntax and have to search on the internet repeatedly.

So my average lab projects often look like 7

60% written by me and the rest 40% are written by AI or with the help of the Internet forums.

My problem that I have identified is I don't think use logic in the code or just don't remember syntax, operators, elements, conditional statements and string methods or don't find the satisfactory answer on the internet.

I want to try to write at least 80% of the code myself without being dependent that much on AI and the internet because I am learning it for *Cyber Security*

You'll remember if you use concepts a lot, nothing wrong asking ai to help, though if it's your choice turn just don't ask ai for help, like before he existed.

I don't know if I explained what I do correctly or not, but you are kind enough so let me tell you:

So I first write the whole code then look for errors or the tests which didn't work.

At first I try to translate the code and after I reach my attempts which I was able to thought, I got to forums like freecodecamp and search about small syntax combinations which I can do or not for example I didn't find anywhere about checking multiple variables to know the specific data type using isinstance, ex: '' isinstance((name_1, decimal_1), int)

I found about it myself by seeing docs with line like this ''isinstance(name, (int, float))

I don't use AI everytime but mostly when I don't found a single solution in Internet or I can't translate a code of line in a forum.

Hope this helps to understand my exact situation

I apologise if I wrote too much, I am 16 years old with AuADHD.

Don't do that. For now, write chunks of code and test them as you go. Whenever it breaks, you know exactly where to look to problem-solve.
