That the approach I've settled on that works best for me. I used to get frustrated that there wasn't "one source" of information that could take me on the journey from novice to expert, and that there was "so much to choose from" on most topics.
Now I happily browse through as many sources as I can find, noting which I think are high quality even if above my head, and absorbing what I can for my current knowledge level. Then I'll revisit the good stuff and scan it to pick up the next layer deep, and repeat over select material until I feel I have what I need.
The other thing I do is make flashcards as I go (I use an app called Quizlet, but I know there are lots out there). Especially with a new subject, just basic terms can be overwhelming at first. I capture want I feel is important in a question & answer format, and just fire it up when I have to a few mins to run through some flashcards (e.g. waiting for a meeting, sitting on the lav, etc.). It seems to work really well for me.
