Totally this ^^^. I still battle with CSS. I have no love for it but the best way I've found to approach it is to have some idea of what I want to achieve visually and work from there. Almost everything one would seek to achieve has been done by $someone and is out there on the internet. Steal it! Sometimes it's blog posts, sometimes I just scrape other sites (modern browser really help here). But yup, grid, box, floats. MDN rocks.

Speaking of battles, I’ve liked trying CSS Battle’s challenges. Kevin Powell and some others have YouTube videos where they compete but it’s not really that competitive.

Don’t worry about minimizing the number of characters, try to match the challenges 100% with just enough HTML and just enough CSS rules and properties to be elegant.
