Besides the obvious answers of just reading the manual, looking up howtos, and stackoverflow I can recommend some habits that might increase your uptake of bash.
1. If you are not running a unix as your default OS switch to one (ie Linux or Mac).
2. Create a bin (~/bin) directory in your home directory of all your shells scripts and source control it. Any script you ever write put in that directory. Even if its not bash (ie python, perl). I find that it is critical to look at how you did things previously to help you learn as well as it saves time.
3. Any command that is complicated one liner that you create or see on the internet... create script and put in the bin directory mentioned above.
4. Optimize your personal bin directory and review frequently.
5. If you run Linux build your system from scratch (ie read Linux from scratch).
6. Bonus to the above: Automate the creation of your personal system through Packer and Bash!
7. Find where things are not automated.
8. Bash is more than just the shell. A knowledge of GNU coreutils as well as tmux/screen is worthwhile and highly recommended.
9. Learn the readline shortcuts. Particularly "ctrl-r".
