I'm 23 and have attempted to learn coding three times now, all focused on Python. Each time, I've made progress but ultimately lose interest, not due to difficulty, but simply because it doesn't hold my attention. I really want to get into coding since it seems crucial for the future, especially in my field of finance, where I've tried to blend it in. However, I'm just not enjoying the process. Does anyone have tips on how to make learning to code more engaging and interesting for me?

Not everyone gels with coding, and that's okay. I found it dry until I got into machine learning. You might discover a path that aligns with your interests, but if not, that's fine too.
The key to enjoying coding is to tie it in with something you're passionate about. What are your interests or hobbies? If you can build something related to those, it can really spark your interest!
Agreed! Once you create something useful, it becomes addictive.
One of my hobbies is money-making, so that kept me hooked on learning.
But,
I don't enjoy it even when I try.
Fair point! I feel like I'm losing that drive to even find it.
