Get a rough overview πΊοΈ
Research about the topic you are trying to learn and get a rough idea of the existing concepts. Don't try to understand everything yet!
The goal is to only have an overview of what is out there.
Survey papers about a specific topic are a good example.

Choose a small and specific specific problem you want to solve βοΈ

Dig deeper on specific topics π

Again, dig only as deep as you need for your particular task and not much deeper!
