Set smaller goals. You learn more from finishing. Pick something you can almost do, cut it to one feature, and commit to it. Learn only enough to finish that one feature.
Copy from somewhere else something that is close to what you want and modify it.
You can do it. Start embarrassingly small and stack tiny successes on each other to the moon
Creating things leads to me learning a helluva lot, I just don't go in with the desire to learn, but a desire to make something (and I will frequently choose to use some new tool that I heard is good for the job).
However, people are different, and those that enjoy learning more than creating might need to figure out a different strategy.
