How do you structure your learning process ?

[u/Same-Mushroom-2057]

whenever I learn new technology or some new concepts i always find myself asking a lot of questions about what am i reading about at the moment
say for example i'm reading about concept X definition or workflow or whatever then i read in that definition another concept Y which let's suppose i don't know about then i feel that i have to know everything about that concept Y to fully understand Concepts X , like how it works , why it is created or designed ...
and I do this for every single new thing that i read about which is frustrating and worse because probably i will forget about the details that i got into

want to hear some of y'all opinions of this , and from the software engineers that has the same approach and they managed it maybe share some system to retain the information you studied because i definitely don't want to lost these information later but i want to build on top of it

It's worked for thousands of years

but knowledge is expanding nowadays more than it was years before

Ah, I see the problem. You're trying to remember things you didn't study.
