I'd recommend you stop obsessing about following lots of tutorials and reading lots of books and instead focus on your interests outside of the programming world. Use what you already know to do something that interests you. Any tasks you have to do regularly in your normal life, or in following your hobbies.
Start simple. It does not matter if what you do is much simpler than some of the things you have been learning. Doing something that relates to your life, your interests, your work has a lot of benefit. You will start to focus on enhancing things, adding capabilities, making a difference to stuff you know something about.
As your desire, your ambition, to add features grow beyond some of the basics of programming, you will find you start to explore how to do certain things with more focus and more enthusiasm.
It does not matter if your are cataloguing your DVDs, valuing your stamps, finding how rich your vocabulary on tweets is, calculating focusing distances for photography, balancing your books, controlling the watering of plants (I'm not kidding - look at what people do with $10 Raspberry Pi computers, read the free online PDF copies of the MagPi magazines), generating characters for RPG games, etc.

I am trying to help you, really, even if it doesn't always seem that way
