I start with the objectives. They need to apply everything in the objectives in a real-world situation. If you can not apply something, start by learning what the terms (vocabulary) means. If you can not find definitions, ask ChatGPT. Then try applying the knowledge in a trivial use case - copy the example from a YouTube video. This will often mean spending hours setting up a scenario where you can use that thing. An example of this is setting up a virtual network of VMs to trace some packets for a CompTIA Security+ certification. After you copy that example, devise your own example. For example, when studying for an Adobe Certified Professional cert in Premiere Pro, I enhanced / fixed some nearly 40-year-old home movies ripped from VHS. The system takes a lot of time, but if you can understand the terms on the objectives, then copy simple examples, then do your own projects, you will always pass the certification exam.

  >The system takes a lot of time That's the secret sauce right there. A lot of people have been short changed by mass education where memorizing facts passes for learning. Much like taking notes by hand is better for you because it forces you to slow down to your hand's speed. There's no way to learn something other then spending significant amounts of time busy with it, using tools, building or fixing stuff, collecting data and drawing conclusions etc.

What are you studying for? Do you have the objectives yet? After you have the objectives, cross out everything you did in the last year. (Not in a class; something you did organically in your daily life or work life.) Then you will have a starting place. Please message me when you get this far.
