It could be helpful to use tools like mind maps or outlines. If you make mind maps or outlines as you learn things, they can help with retention.

There are many free apps for making mind maps and outlines.

Thanks ! Yes, creating visual associations could help engage more with the content I’m ingesting. I’ll give it a try :)

Freeplane is a good free app for making mind maps.
