How to focus on learning the material?
Hello, I'm facing a problem and I can't figure out how to proceed.
Quite often I start reading articles/books on a certain material and in the process of reading I just get lost in the links, i.e. there is just a total absent-mindedness when you start to walk on the links. I read a book \ article -> followed the link -> I’m reading again and I’m just unrealistically far away from the topic I started with (for example, I started with the scrapy documentation, and after a certain amount of time I ended up in the angular documentation (although I don’t need it at all) and already forgot everything). I kind of unknowingly try to absorb a lot of information, but in fact I get nonsense.
Are there any techniques that will help me fight the digestion of a huge amount of information, or at least limit my curiosity?

I suggest this way. Paper is taken (or a database is created, some people just like it - Notepad) and the name of the source and the name of the topic (task) are written out.
Next, tags are added - these are pairs <new term (area, method)>, <link where it is said about>. Those. you don’t need to climb on the links (this may be another paragraph in the same document), you just need to fix it.
Once the first document (or part) has been studied, group the tags (eg by method name or company name).
Next, you need to solve your problem.
But then ask the question: is it worth going deeper? If so, where and how much time to spend on it? Here you can go to the links and the process repeats.
