Not "how I learn" per-se, but how I make time for learning (biggest problem for me, by far) is to do 30mins of $whatever before I turn on my work laptop, no excuses.

The book "Atomic Habits" mostly inspired this - the idea of setting both a clearly defined time and place for doing something + making it easier to do the right thing / harder to do the wrong thing. The "before laptop is turned on" is important for not drifting onto Slack and blasting through various notifications.

I've gone from spending literally years thinking "I really need to read more papers and these textbooks" to actually making solid progress on stuff I care about.
