Hiii of course! I’m a beginner myself and only recently have had sufficient time to sit down and study it, so I won’t have anything super insightful to offer. It’s going to differ from person to person, so what helps me might not be the best for you!!
Overall, there’s plenty of good, free resources available on the internet. When I first started, I picked up a book from the library, but you might prefer to watch a couple (or more) youtube (or other platforms) videos breaking down the basics (such as the tones and structure) to introduce the language before you start to learn it. Youtube channels like Chinese with Ben (study tips, pronunciation, culture, etc) and ShuoshuoChinese (listening practice and important phrases) have been helpful. I’ve used sites like Dong-Chinese and TOFU Learn. Blabla Chinese (videos) and maayot provide stories to practice with (though maayot may be a bit too difficult at first!!)
For apps, LingoDeer helped me to learn very basic sentences. HelloChinese, I’d recommend more, because unlike LingoDeer, its sole focus is Chinese.
Apply it to your interests. This could mean watching shows in Chinese, listening to Chinese music, writing about your interests, or just whatever you find works. Find a way to squeeze what you know into your hobbies and daily life–I tend to write on my work if I have the time at school/beside doodles or talk myself through something (knowing how to explain it on your own is important).
For studying anything, I like to grab a blank piece of paper and write whatever I can remember. Once I’m finished/stumped, I go over any notes or references to see if there’s something I missed. It helps to recall what you’ve learned without anything guiding you/it's on the spot.
