How to use the brain to learn new information?

Hello!
Guys, who knows how our brain works.
Let's say we have three subjects that we need to learn / remember in a certain period of time:
jQuery, JavaScript, Git.
You can learn these "things" like this:
1) First day - jQuery, Second day - JavaScript, Third day - Git (that is, 1 day - 1 subject).
or like this:
2) First day - a few hours of jQuery, a few hours of JavaScript, a few hours of Git (that is, a little bit of everything).
or more intense:
3) One week jQuery, next week JavaScript, next week Git (i.e. 1 week - 1 item).
The bottom line is this:
How is it better / more correct to load the brain so that information and skills are better absorbed?
Which of the approaches would you prefer or offer your own options.

Thanks a lot. I hope this is of interest to many.

I have been dealing with similar issues for about 10 years (I went through the talent program of the coolest IT corporations in the USA / Germany, I taught myself), here is from my experience
1) In order of dependencies - first JavaScript then JQuery
2) Beat into small pieces. The order does not matter if there is enough coverage of operational memory. If you notice that there is not enough hit blocks for up to half an hour on each topic and then rotate
3) Implement spaced repetitions (read on Habré, including about tools)
4) Implement perceptual learning (study successful cases / examples even if you don’t understand why yet they were successful)

On the first two points: in a week there will be porridge in my head.
The third is back and forth.
I would advise you to take one thing... and don't let go until you start to feel at ease when writing something a little more substantial than the basic examples. As soon as the general scheme and basic concepts fit in your head, grab onto the following. And then it will go by itself.

If you need JS / frontend, I'm looking for those who want to learn.
Payment by the hour, you can determine how often consultations are needed, and what topics.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
