Honestly, making software is an easy yet time consuming process. If you've been learning for the past 'few months' and you're still on variables....you might have to rethink your learning methods. But , you should move on to functions once you've acquired enough knowledge on data types (numbers,strings,...) .... then slowly to objects .... then to concepts such as OOP , and practice with smaller programs in your own with what you've learned. Try making programs that would help you organize your habits for your desktop / phone. Might be challenging for your level....but it would motivate you knowing that you'd be making something you would use.
