One big difference between Anime and Mangas is that Manga is a condensed version of that Anime! It doesn't have those downfall boring moments like Anime do!

Process is very simple. After learning basics from 4-5 hours from youtube about some framework/language, start coding!
Start working on real life project and google all the problems you're facing! This is probably one of the fastest ways to learn coding! Also if you find a good mentor to teach you, it'll be a cherry on the pie!
I myself has moved on from watching TV shows to reading Manga (Japanese Comics) and they're super-amazing! Also not as much time consuming as the TV shows! You can start reading for free at www.mangarock.com
I usually work for 11 hours at an Edtech startup - https://boosters.in and let me tell you, I almost pass everyday without even needing a cup of coffee! Even though sometimes the work is depressing, a good company of enjoyable colleagues is all I need to get back.
Go for Go. Industries are adapting it like crazy! Plus good Go developers are scarce so as a freelancer, you will have increased opportunities.
Also, to a fellow freelancer, I would like to suggest you making plugins for chrome and Wordpress. No matter how crowded their store looks like, there is still plenty of room of requirements. Here's my website https://boosters.in created on wordpress! I personally had to create a wordpress plugin for such a small website and small usecase. So I'm sure the world is full of possibilities.
Have a good day!
