Whether it’s a form of note-taking or regular repetition or the like, what are some self-education techniques and tools you’ve developed to help yourself learn on your own?
It’s always interesting imo to read about how some folks teach themselves different stuff.
Getting good sleep helps a lot. That’s how you store what you learned. I found trying to explain the subject matter to someone else, real, imaginary, or rubber duck, helped me figure out what I didn’t know.

Maybe a cybernetic chip you can store information to :P
I work on a presentation of the subject.
I read out loud. It helps me remember what I’m reading.

Not sure if this is taught in school anymore, but I found the outline process of note-taking to be helpful in both lectures and reading material.
This was the most decent website I came up with that describes the process: https://www.taskade.com/blog/outline-method-of-note-taking/
I felt it was the best way of quickly organizing topics, subtopics, and important items in a way that was simple to read and understand relationships between subjects.

Don’t buy things from Amazon. Go to your local book store, or direct to the website of the book you want to purchase.
Thanks for the book suggestion! I checked and it’s available via my library, so I may have to give it a read sometime!
