I would suggest before you learn to program, you learn how to use some of the tools used to program, like the command-line and a version control system like git. You can do this by contributing to a project that does not actually have code in it -- like a documentation or users-guide project. This way, you start to get a feel for the work-flow and it does not distract you while you are trying to concentrate on learning a language.
If you feel like blogging about your experiences learning to write code, Perl 6 would love to have feedback about how easy it is to learn for a brand new programmer... though we don't quite have a "learning to program in" guide yet, https://perl6.org/getting-started/ might be enough. The community is very friendly and would probably even be extra friendly to someone who was helping to improve the documentation for new users.
