Best packages to learn?
I'd suggest you have a look at cheatsheets (or download them from GitHub) if you want to get to know your way around a package or set if functions, it saves you a lot of time.

How do I make these shapes (pictured below) in ggplot?
You could use geom_hline and geom_vline, geom_abline, or geom_segment for this. (The ggplot cheat sheet is very useful for answering these kinds of questions, BTW.)

Why does my scatter plot look like this?
I can't say for sure because I don't know what your ultimate aim is for your visualization. Check out the cheat sheet for ggplot2 here.

Import from Excel
Finally just do your analysis. You should also should give a try and see the cheat sheet for data importing on the tidyverse package.

[Request] How to best visualize percentages with R?
That said, when Iām trying to come up with an interesting way to visualize data, I find the ggplot cheat sheet very helpful: https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/main/data-visualization-2.1.pdf

I'm trying to recreate this plot but I keep failing
I would very highly recommend that rather than trying to get started by translating an existing graph, you check out some documentation about ggplot first. If nothing else, the ggplot cheat sheet from RStudio should help explain what the component parts of the code are, and that might help you figure out what you actually want to do.

[Q] 'pivot_longer' applied to an object of class "character"
Such a function wouldn't add anything that factor() or as.factor() don't already do, but the forcats tidyverse package does make it easier to work with factor variables afterwards: https://forcats.tidyverse.org/

This chart has the days of the week on the x-axis, but they are all over the place, starting with Sunday and then going to Wednesday. My table has the correct sequence of days. So why is this happening to me? :\
Turn weekdays to factors to have some control over order. https://forcats.tidyverse.org/ https://r4ds.had.co.nz/factors.html#modifying-factor-order

Frustration: One Year with R
This was fun to play around with. I made some very minor changes and posted at https://gist.github.com/hadley/d54895557fbb0fe0402d2277b9011....
It revealed to me that there's a buglet in `forcats::last()` (https://github.com/tidyverse/forcats/issues/303) and made me wonder if `pivot_longer()` should be able to rename the columns as you pivot them (https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyr/issues/1338)
