Pinecil/TS100/TS80p with D-something tips (chisel) are great irons for electronics (and Pinecil > TS***), they are small, temperature controlled, heat up super quick (like seconds) and make using leadfree solder a breeze. Just make sure to also buy a decent power supply with it (if your laptop has a USB-C power supply you can probably use that)
Other than that, practice makes perfect so depending if you’re soldering SMD diodes or not consider working on something else first (maybe a kit?), if I can do this then I believe you can too!
