How to improve the learning process and the "environment" of Laravel / PHP
I've been studying the php for 12 months so far, and I am starting with Laravel now (as I've kind of figured out the procedural php, but not fully yet, getting there). I use phpStorm and phpMyAdmin. I am on php.net, stackOverflow.com, youTube.com, laravel.com, laracasts.com and I will be working on making a list of all the php places on the Net (like community); I know that gitHub.com is also one such place. I am wondering what I can improve (as an example I have just one monitor with my home pc and no tablet/laptop). As an example people say watch the Laracast and write code along with what the person there says. I've seen people having two screens one to another (either vertically or horizontally) and also even a laptop as the third "pc". I could watch it on one screen, code on the laptop or on the screen on the other side (right or left) and this could help in the learning I think. I mean what other things and aspects can I think about and improve as related to all of this? There may be things that I dont see or dont understand (as I am new to this, and also this is my first programming language). What to think about here? Thanks.

I have one screen (good size), Windows 10, phpStorm, phpMyAdmin. From some other source the thinking could be: Mac, phpStorm, sequelPro (lets say; there is this Heidi program for Windows, but I've never had it installed), 2 screens, a laptop (maybe, my addition). The thinking is to watch the Laracasts and write along with what the instructor presnets (like muscle memory / "motor learning" - term from Wiki, this is what I would do?). I mean, there must be these things I dont see, think about, dont understand. Trying to figure out max amount of these "edu bugs" that I may have (I was in a whole worse place like 2 months ago, somebody "changed my path"; it was more like getting burned out with procedural exercises from w3resource.com and examples of this on php.net and now I am more in the directon of OOP->MVC->Laravel <from laracast first, then docs>). I've figured out the procedural more or less too (not really but getting there). Just want to make sure I do it more or less right as I cant afford to be wasting time.

All this and (kind of) can sort by Difficulty and maybe Popularity:
