knowledge hungry wizards, i humbly knock upon your grand tower libraries to be enlightened in the ways of learning. what techniques do you employ to assimilate knowledge quickly and efficiently? how does one start the process of learning, and keep momentum? any and all advice is greatly appreciated, o' most powerful wise ones!

study something that you actually enjoy learning about. i've taken a liking to quantum physics lately. keep looking into different subjects and see what you find fascinating, whether it's biology or computer science or even something creative like art. you keep momentum by being genuinely passionate about something. and you also have to be willing to be wrong sometimes. making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn. and books, too.
i think a lot of people these days are too quick to write off books as useless because of how accessible information is nowadays on the internet, but if you think about it, a book is far more structured learning than if you were to go on google and try to figure everything out yourself. a quality book will tell you how something works start to finish, top to bottom. an even better one will give you some practical exercises in the subject to try out. so do not discard books. after all, every wizard needs a spellbook, right? keep your tome of arcane knowledge close

Anything that works, excluding watching videos. They are most shitty kind of information you can ingest.

This. "Find something you're passionate about" although cliché is legit advice, once you find something that really sparks your interest it all becomes a cake.
Know what works for you as well, for example I structure my study sessions in such a way that I spend most of my time struggling my way through exercises and just a tiny amount reading theory, i.e. The Pareto principle, nevertheless this varies across subjects. Other than that I would say spaced repetition does deserve the hype, in my opinion slamming Anki shit is worth it.

Most videos are just watered down-microwave cooked material, nothing but failure comes from superficial study.
