> for me, the problem has always been "informative" videos. random videos on history, cosmology, futurology, etc. yeah i have a couple of facts randomized about random shit but you don't truly learn about a subject unless you commit the time to properly absorb the knowledge. yeah for me it was documentaries i just made a rule if i watch it i have to wrtie on it for 20 minutes using entirely different words to explain it or i had to use it in a project that month i made a bunch of gears and pulleys from carved wood learned why gears arent made like that they wear down quick from that stress. wood cracks and splinters fired clay is prone to exploding or cracking into dust especially at high speeds or small gear to big gear for high torque  > absorb  i have trouble absorbing something if i dont do something hands on with it i have to go make move or at least write and draw it to really get it. i cant just listen and think.
