How about write real programs? I.e. much as suggested by Joe Wright.
But I'd start a little easier than he suggests (speaking for me
anyway).

Your are self taught? Otherwise a good instructor would give you good
exercises.

If you are using a good textbook, the textbook may suggest worthwhile
exercises and doable by you, in a finite time.

Let us know what you have achieved already (in terms of programs
written and things you 'can do') and we may be able to help further.

The nice thing about a 'real' program is that it will force you to do
things that  are other than you know well and consider easy; OTOH, if
self-taught, such a exercise may be impossibly difficult, or
ridiculously easy. With a 'real program', you will learn things, and
make mistakes, that exercises find it hard to achieve.
