What works for me is I know a lot my weaknesses. I have a low attention span, get bored and sleepy when learning hard things. So I literally close myself off from every distraction in a quiet place, where I can also nap...read as much as I can...nap...continue, all the while taking notes, scribbling drawings etc. Its like my brain gets tired from all the new stuff, but after a nap, it sticks. Sometimes this is a slow approach as I don't pressure myself and fully accept that I will fall asleep and I accept this as ok...but I found I get the deeper comprehension out of this much more than watching or listening to a thing and it seems to store long term. This mostly applies to problems that I really don't want to learn necessarily but I know I have to go to the next level. Most things are not this way as everyday work is pretty straight forward but you'll definitely get paid more if you understanding harder stuff because most other people won't.
