Nice work Babi.
Engaging yourself in projects is actually the best way to learn coding.
Try and engage your self in alot of projects. When ever you take a project, try and research on the required skills you will need to get it done. If you come across a required skill that you aren't familiar with , dont be scared. Just try to learn it and then apply on the project and at the end of it all, you will discover you have aquired alot of new skills.

However I had noticed that taking some time out to research sometimes leads to sluggishness which is kind of a setback. How do you suggest I work through this?

If that's the case. Try and get books that teaches u the basic to advanced concept of a given technology and at the end they show you how to apply what you have learned by doing projects .
You can get such books from oreilly.com

I recommend that after you go through the learning phase start building your own projects that are useful to you.

Yes, I made myself a weather application to tell me the weather in my area. I also made a chess timer since I play chess. I use both applications a lot. What is really cool is that you can make the applications with just the functionality you need and you can style them to look any way you want.
