You don't.

Reading Hegel is a lot like anime. Something has to HAPPEN to you while you read it that transcends the merely geometric improvement of your training, and leads to a wholly new revelation of both understanding and power for you. You need to have the moment where you are broken and defeated beyond any hope of a comeback, and then you somehow tap into something deep inside yourself, and discover that you had the power to overcome all along, like JoJo mastering a new Hamon technique or Vegeta being able to beat up Frieza in at least his penultimate form.

Any purely linear reading of Hegel is no reading of Hegel at all. If you haven't been completely transformed by Hegel then you haven't properly apprehended the anime battle that lies underneath.

How into Kegel? It's simple

Phenomenology of Spirit is an "introduction" to Hegel's system. In case you plan to read straight from the source you should start with that and maybe some writings from his youth.

start with the zizek

The Young Hegel by György Lukács

He gives a good rundown of how Hegel's absolute idealism developed up to the Phenomenology.

That's an extremely bad and biased book if you want to understand Hegel the person. Worst than what most analytical hegelians can write.
