If you're just starting out with Laravel with little to no prior experience (or close to none), my recommendation is clear: **80% hands-on practice with real projects and 20% reinforcing theory**.
Start by cloning small GitHub repositories of projects like blogs, online stores, or simple APIs. Modify them, break things, and fix the errors. You'll learn faster this way than just reading documentation alone. Laravel has a steep learning curve, but when you cause an error and solve it, that knowledge sticks with you.
That said, spend those 20 minutes a day looking at official documentation or watching a tutorial when you're stuck. But never stay in the "just researching" phase. Theory without action is like reading a cookbook without cooking: it doesn't teach you anything. Try first, research later. In a week, you'll see progress that will motivate you to keep going.
