That's a bit vague.
Anyway, after you have finished reading something, you can try solving the exercises at the end of the chapter. It can actually makes you deepen your understanding. Doing exercises is what you should have done anyway.
If you are not used to reading, then for most of the time, your thinking process will be really skewed and limited. There are things that can be seen only when you do exercise (i.e. work you brain more than reading).

try to rederive the equations they come up with. Bonus point for deriving similar equations with slightly different conditions. You can't look at the book to do this. You have to fully understand every step you take

Study during a fearful situation, like when your fight-or-flight response kicks in.

You'll remember.

it's what i've been doing. that same recognizable mental state

you're flight and fight responses have been proven to kick in when you smoke weed. studying high actually makes you understand the material at a deeper level and remember exactly the reason why you needed to be fearful (the real problem).

thanks, sometimes in the beginning chapters the exercises are too "simple" so i skip them, and then they gradually get harder so i kinda lag behind, i'll try to be more thorough

thanks, what about for topics without equations? e.g. for networking it's mostly concepts instead of calcuations

>>7638824
ha i'll try this sometimes
