Having a hobby which is pretty much "trying every hobby to find the right one" I've been doing multiple variants of photography. Drawn and painted art. Some quickly aborted starts at creative writing. A half decade shattershot effort at solo gamedev(involving a branching multi-artistic art-sound-code-design efforts) and several other probing efforts.
I thus could consider myself as an experienced advice-reader and advice-evaluator.
My conclusion is that everyone is addicted to bullshit advice that signals about discipline and purity. If you want to get into anything the best approach is to stop reading generalist advice. Either probe it in a spotwise creative fashion on your own or do follow-along practical work flow tutorials. Advice for overall approaches and strategy is a waste of time at best or actively harmful and will undermine your enjoyment
