Thinking about how to learn is fascinating. A few short things that helped me:

Essentially we need to get fundamentals first.

Then apply the knowledge and get challenged (feedback loop) -> build a project, play in front of others, speak the language.

Improve - not by force, but by understanding (remembering something and understanding something are two different things).

Synthesise - learn about a topic in a different manner or try to find similar concepts in completely different context /

Use mentors to amplify the knowledge and get feedback quicker.

Immerse yourself in practicality (work in a field, live in a country etc.)



This is a great summary. Thank you!
