A slow start

Well, this is off to a slow start. I went away for a week, celebrated my birthday and am now back home working away. I've been thinking a lot about this but my mind keep going in circles. Where do I start with learning new skills and how do I motivate myself to find time daily?
To start, this website is BASIC and doesn't look like much. I have a lot to learn about websites, design and marketing/SEO. I'm using Wix, so they make it pretty easy to build sites and they seems to have loads of information about marketing/SEO. I was thinking of starting there, but I could get stuck in it for weeks and is that where I want to put my focus? I think I'll slowly learn about the website as I post more.
I think about data science a lot. Data seems to be important to so many jobs out there but as someone who hasn't had to take any sort of math or science classes since high school, could I do it?
I have access to Udemy through my work and found this Intro To Data Science: Your Step-by-Step Guide To Starting. The course gives a 6-week plan to getting started in Data Science, so it seemed to be a good starting point, but this course doesn't teach you everything, it seems to just guide you on the steps to take. I'm down with that. First off, they said I need to know basic statistics, so I found another course by the same instructor (smart for him to push to his other courses lol) called Statistics for Business Analytics and Data Science A-Z. So, I started the statistics course before I went away and need to get back to it now. Hoping this post with inspire me to do that!
Any thoughts on learning Data Science? Good idea? Useless with AI?
