Spaced retrieval is the key to glue new information in your memory.
The more you send a thought around your neural pathways, the more permanent it becomes.
After learning new information, sleeping is essential.
Sleep provides the "mortar" that solidifies the walls of your knowledge.

Picture Walk
Trying to go through your textbook page by page is a big mistake.
Instead, when you start a new chapter, go on a "picture walk".
Scan it. Look briefly at all pictures, captions, diagrams, headings, bold words, summary, and even questions at the end of the chapter.
This gives your brain a "roadmap" of what's coming next, allowing you to organize your thoughts.
