Constant practice and small achievable goals definitely help.

If you don't keep practicing, you'll never see the value in what you're learning and you'll quickly get fed up. Additionally you'll start encountering road blocks during your practice and you'll start becoming eager to learn if there's a better way to do things.

Small goals make learning more enjoyable. If you set out to make a MMO online 3D game from the start, you'll never do it. But if you make yourself a to-do list app, word/numbers/guessing games, a note-taking app, you'll enjoy these small wins and more importantly will be eager to improve them.
