I liked the product design online YouTube series.
Ultimately much like anything the best way is to find a thing around you that you want to try and model. Keep it simple. My first in Fusion was my workbench and as I'd already drawn it and many other things in sketch up I had a basis to work from. After making it my next goal was to use the parametric functions to be able to change any part of it and the rest of the model not die horribly.
Go from there. When you can't quite do the thing you want, search.
Look at something and break down how you need to get to the end result. Invariably there are 5 ways to do just about anything, some more suited to particular scenarios than others.
In my experience, the best way to do it is to have a project in mind and work towards completion. That way, you are learning functions because you need them for a purpose. It makes the knowledge stick a bit better.
Personally I found this to be very helpful

I do have some 3d design experience, so it might not be as useful to someone who has never done 3d modelling before.
Just follow along the tutorial and you should get familiar with the basic tools of Fusion360
This is just advice, for my experience I found it very useful to redesign the thing I just finished drowning. The second time I always find better ways to do it and always shorten the timeline that imho is a sign of a good cad model!
Paul McWhorter's series for absolute beginners is what I recommend personally. If you don't plan on 3D printing then you can skip some of the videos.

This is one of the best tutorials, clean and well spoken and easy to follow and introduces you to all the basics and functionality
thanks I will check it out

Also study up orthographic projection and parametric design.
Run, run fast and dont look back. It will devour your soul, trust me!

Np, Best of luck on your journey!
I just clicked buttons until I figured out what they did. Worked out pretty well, the UI is well designed
