Learn the bigger picture first, why you’re learning the topic to get to what and draw that to where you need to get too.
Then you can gradually look deeper into certain ideas to get more specific with detail. You should convince your brain to truly care like survival mode care and invent the solution yourself to create a concept then
internalize the solution and make it stick in your brain by testing it out, take away parts and different parts, apply to different use cases, and even go back to think about the situation.

Start with the big picture why it matters, and
connect it to the end goal, you know you are doing this to end up here, you’ll forgive out the rest just need to get here, know the purpose it solves just need to attain this spot you.
now we just fill in the blanks which is the solution usually different parts that connect to each other. Details 1, detail 2, detail 1.1,1.2, 2.1,2.2
this is where caring, finding the problem to use our brains to actively find solutions which will extend over time where unconsciously come up with solutions if we flip back to understanding why we need this and care.

but first understand simple explanation to the big picture ideas.
As you learn more expand on details.
Understand the detail in the big picture of things. understand by itself. reinforce the idea.
understand why each detail works to the problem of the bigger picture and is a solution to get to the end goal.
understand how it fits with other details. Sub-subjects. Because if you know details it should make sense back to the big picture and why it fits to the black box(end goal) understand the point for each detail.

Don’t learn all the details, figure out how the parts work together and how you can use the conclusion of one part to get to the next. It naturally breaks the the big picture into smaller approachable steps
usually we learn laterally and read each concepts but learning an overview and why we need to learn to the end goal and really care is how we learn fast. So when learning difficult in-depth concepts we can focus on them and k ow why the connect with the main idea.
