This is a topic that interest me. I see myself as a life long learner and I want to strive towards mastery. In some topics I’ll maybe get a tutor, it’s expensive but worth it.
I’ll share my workflow for studying and I am keen to hear about yours.
I start with exercises almost immediately when studying. Practice over theory. I have noticed that an unsolved problem, or a solved problem that I didn’t understand really bugs me. I use that irritation to fuel me when I go over the theory of a subject.
When doing exercises I count wrong answers from negligence as worse than just plain wrong. That’s because I believe it could stem from a lack of understanding disguised as negligence.
If I am struggling with a concept I’ll first try to copy the chapter of the book by hand. To internalize the author’s voice and framing. If that doesn’t work, I’ll search for another explanation and do the same thing.
I prefer books over video lectures. Video is to intense and I can’t as easily set the pace. Some video content out there is amazing, specially with math and visualization of math. That’s really helpful for me.
I don’t stress since I am going to this until I die. I play the long game.
