I'm absolute with you on prefering written tutorials and documentation, however when it comes to beginner tutorials for Blender, there's simply nothing better than the doughnut tutorial from Blenderguru. It's not a "do this then do this" video - he's actually explaining what he does and why, so when you're finished, you actually have ideas of what to do with your own projects.
3D art is a complex thing - but you can actually get a long way following the doughnut tutorial, and after that, you may be open to try other video tutorials or have a look at other channels.

Another favorite of mine to mostly just watch is Grant Abbitt: https://www.youtube.com/@grabbitt/featured
Thank you for the information! I just need to put some dedicated time aside to learn this, but it looks like a good place to get started.
Take it a little at a time. The blenderguru videos are short and arr perfect for doing 30 mins today, 30 mins the next day - you don’t need to do it all in one sitting.
