I’ve been learning things for a long while but I still don’t have a reliable set-in-stone technique for getting things into my head.

    Take notes while you read if it’s a topic like history or literature. Write a few sentences for each page summarizing the contents. The summarization effort will make you mentally process the info, which will help retain it. Write down the page numbers so you can find the material later

    Also, shut off your phone if necessary, to not get interrupted by notifications.
