Yes I do actually -- my best advice is to watch this course. It's hands down the best course I've ever seen (across any language, actually), and he jumps RIGHT into it, almost from a computer science aspect.
He doesn't talk about learning the language at all (he assumes you know all that), instead he fills in all the gaps in a very thorough way that are left out from all the tutorials and such you'll read. I've read dozens and dozens of Go articles while learning and I would say 85% of those 15 hours was NEW information to me, that's how good it is.
There are 2 versions, I watched the older version because he's more lively in it, however I have heard the newer version is better because he does cover a lot more up to date tooling. I went and rewatched the section on debugging and structs on the new version.
For example, its 15 hour course, and in the literal first 5 minutes of the first coding video, he talks about struct field memory alignment on different CPU architectures. That's when I refilled my coffee and said 'dis gon be good'.
Aside from that, I would say pick a good project structure that works well, invest time time into researching the different ways (also covered in that course)
I also use go modules which are new, and make things way easier as far as packages.
Definitely make sure your editor has gofmt and goimports set to auto-run on save, those are lifesavers. Goimports is smart enough to look across packages and in your own package, which is cool
All the other suggestions about actually writing code is basically covered entirely in the ultimate go course (when to choose pointers vs structs, how to structure code, good error handling practices, etc)
