Growing up with little resources, I trained myself how to learn through observation & deduction, as I rarely had access to the actual resources to do the learning.
What looks different zoomed out is very similar zoomed in at the smallest detail; First-Principles.

I think in pictures primarily & build a library of abstractions in my head.
If you can think abstractly I'm pretty confident you'll learn concepts faster than people who are not comfortable with abstractions and have more learning flexibility.

I try to reverse engineer concepts into organizable categories and try to find associations through knowledge metaphors.
I also use deduction to fill in the missing gaps with prior associative learning.

Reading broadly helps a lot with guessing the meaning of a word you don't yet know to try to break down the pre-fix, root & suffix.
Abstractions are things that don't have a physical form.
If you're a creator you tend to live in the abstract.
Same if you're a learner.
Same if you have limited resources.
Most of my learning & system design learning how to make the abstract feel real in my mind.
