For learning new stuff or deeper understanding old stuff I use "browser tab based backtracking". I research some books and articles on the topic. As soon as I realize that I do not understand something (it doesn't click), I open new tabs researching the points I don't understand and so on. After understanding I backtrack by closing the new tabs. The important part is the meta analysis: does this rabbit hole serve my initial goal? Given what I understood, is my initial goal still valid or should I revisit it? Learned a lot, works great for my brain.
