“Learn as you go” approach to Permaculture for beginners?

I’m new to both permaculture and gardening and as the title says I’d prefer to learn in a “learn as you go” type of way. I’ve started a compost pile, figured out my zone (10a), and observed how sunlight goes into my yard. I was just looking for any tips, information, or steps to take that would be recommended to someone trying to just get started and not to worry about being perfect. I’m guessing many people here started the same way as me, how did that turn out for you? Would I be fine taking this approach or should I try to follow a structure to learn.

(I know it’s a bit ironic to be asking for tips while also saying I want to learn as I go, but I think it is useful to have information from others more experienced so I’m not completely in the dark)
