I've been learning things for a long while but I still don't have a reliable set-in-stone technique for getting things into my head.

You first need to learn the very basics concept of what you're trying to learn, sometimes you're jumping straight to subjects that won't ever make sense to you unless you memorize it.

This is the problem with most of people, they learn a lot of stuff, but not the very basics, because they think it won't be necessary.

I can only learn if I understand the how and why something is as it is.

For example: Why is 1 + 1 equals 2? Who said it's equals 2? Is it really equals 2? Or maybe we all just agree that it's equals 2 so we can talk the same language in numbers? Why do we need to know that 1 + 1 is equals 2?

This kind of very basics I mean, you need to find a purpose on what you're learning and bring it to practice.
