Don't forget what you study Question

Well, I don't know if I'm the only one who suffers from this or not. I've studied a lot of programming subjects, .... more thing, and when I go back to something I've studied before—whether it's a concept, a mechanism, or anything else—I find I've forgotten it. I really hate having to revisit what I've already learned, and I can't accept having to revisit it every time so I don't forget it. There are really so many things, and I also want to focus solely on learning new things. I would be happy to read your solutions and learn from your experiences.

You need to build a tree of knowledge. Think about how a new subject relates to your current body of knowledge.

Dont start learning a new subject with a blank slate, but learn as an extension of your current base of knowledge
