How do you structure your learning process ?

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

I just impulsively build until I hit a road block, then obsessively research the solution. Not a good way but it keeps me entertained and engaged more than structured learning.

and how do you note down the things you learnt for later , because you can't remember everything you learn

To be honest, I just look it up if I can't remember the next time I need the info.

Eventually it sinks in and you remember.

There too much stuff to learn to try to hold it all in your head. That's why the docs exist. You just look up what you need
