Learning something new or something huge is a task. I combine some of the things or concepts that might help you navigate through this situation.

When you are encountering something big, it is bound to confuse you where to look, what to cover and what to do when you are stuck. This is normal and natural.

Learning should roughly cover 4 aspects:

• Reading something new
• Revising something old
• Implementing something newly read
• Implementing something you have read before.

Again this very broad category is hardly useful because so many times in the day we have time to do something but not enough to do something we want to do.

We suffer something called as difficulty in context switching. Meaning we are in the middle of something that requires us to be available for something but at the same time we feel the need to do something else but doing that thing requires you to temporarily forget or not give significance to the current situation.

While it maybe possible for some things, but for most things where we are held responsible we may not be able to "switch" ourselves to think about something else easily. It is quite a task to train our brains to perform in two different directions of some parts of our life.

But that doesn't mean we cannot do anything at all. To tackle this aspect to be available to switch, what we can do is identify parts of our learning that requires probably less time or less effort and can cover up a part of our learning process.

Think of required and not logical or less logical parts of learning. For eg. If you are doing a project. If you have 5 minutes, you can draft a readme. If you have 15 minutes, you can quickly go through an article you read before or draft a reply to an email you want to send to.

Identify what you want to do, make a list of things. Divide your main tasks into many minor and some major tasks and ask yourself what time would it probably take for you to do it.

And probably schedule it into time slots you think you have but can switch and can utilize the time for the better.

Schedule tasks to fit into such slots of your day. This can guarantee that you cover certain parts of your learning during the day or evening or night.

We all have time and we all have our attention during the time we are awake. We just need to direct it so that we are able to do things at a minimum required pace so that we are able to do things we want to.
