write blog posts about whatever you want to learn and publish them
so you actually need to know your stuff before you embarrass yourself in public, lol
so basically: teach others :)
Teaching others help you break down complex concept for yourself too, especially if you need to illustrate visually that something.

Basically this but for yourself: The Feynman Technique
Take a paper
Write a headline about a subject you're trying to learn
Write down how you'd explain it to an audience fitting to what you are learning, grandparents seem to come up often...
As soon as you can't explain a concept in simple terms - you've found a hole in your knowledge. Probably a good thing to fill that gap.
Then re-do the explaining. Find a knowledge gap and patch it. Repeat until you know the subject.
