I strongly recommend the book "Mastering Emacs" by Mickey P. You will need some patience as well, I recommend going slow and steady for a week at least using the book, with a vanilla/standard Emacs install.
It took me about 2 weeks to get productive at first (this was in 2018), and now I use Emacs every day for a wide variety of tasks (programming and notes, mostly).
