Studies show that becoming an expert in any field takes about 10,000 hours of diligent practice. But "expert" was pretty narrowly defined.

i'll throw in a curve ball then.... "taking breaks"

i can't say how many times i've spent hours and hours working on something only to believe either it sounds fantastic but the next day after some sleep and time away from listening to it i realised it was awful or the exact reverse.

+1 for piano lessons or at least a reasonable grasp of playing the keyboard. i can program but can't really play live - i did try once and regretted it since then i stuck to just playing the drums live lol.

Piano lessons will go a long way as well

Many variables I believe, and the best method is to completely submerge yourself in it. Learn how sound works, learn exactly what each knob is, every button, how to eq, etc. Learn the basics of sound works and progress, if you have that knowledge you will eventually learn how to make the exact sound your looking for. Many people give sound a physical trait (ex. "wobble") but dont know what it is to make a sound "wobble". Get me? Learn your craft, play, read, watch tutorials, anything and everything relative to what it is you are trying to do..

Manipulate sound to do whatever it is you want it too.

imo

Find your DAW , handle it like your girlfriend/boyfriend, fight the frustations, seek tips on maintaining a relationship i.e.tutorials . That will keep you occupied for months. And remember ,
a good producer = 10,000 hours of practice.

Don't worry i am on the same road.

I got nothing to show for, but from what I've read, commit yourself early, don't ever quit. Fight though every headache and set back.

Working your ass off. That's a good start.

I could also recommend reading "This Is Your Brain On Music" It talks about how the mind reacts to certain sounds, what they bring to it, what grungy, hard music like dubstep provides the listener compared to ambient piano music. It's a very good read for anyone who is interested in music.
