This is a question I have been seeking an answer to for the last 10 years, because in IT there is an incredible amount of information, and it becomes outdated just as quickly as new information appears.
First of all, you need a well-organized structure for storing this information. Everything should be in one single place, hierarchically ordered or at least simply sorted. For quick access to information, everything should be at hand, so your organization should not make access to data harder.
After you have structured everything and set up a system (as a rule, through some program or applications) that you can reach quickly and into which you can quickly add information for study, you should determine your throughput capacity, namely:
a) how much information you can study;
b) how much information you can absorb.
If you are overly curious, you are unlikely to be able to study everything, and new information will arrive faster than you can learn it, so you will have to study first what you consider most important today. In other words, you cannot do without setting priorities. Determine how many articles you can read daily or weekly or how many tutorial videos you can watch, and also decide how many of them you can absorb at a sufficiently good level. After all, if you devote 5–6 hours a day to new information, the last hours will not be especially effective, and information will be remembered worse and worse with each hour, so limit yourself to a few hours and use the remaining time for other tasks. If it is important to study for a long time, that is more than 4 hours a day, it is better to break study into segments and take very long breaks from studying, filling them with other activities, preferably non-mental ones.
Also do not rush to delete information you have already processed and studied. In the future it may still come in handy, so in such situations it is better to move it to another place.
