How To Study
At the beginning, I suggest that you read the topic that you are studing at without taking any notes or trying to understand anything. Just read it
After reading the topic, search for related videos/articles on Google and read multiple articles without taking notes.
Try to ask yourself: from where did you come across questions like how a threat actor can execute their attack in real life, why they choose to do one thing over another, and as a blue teamer, how can you defend against such attacks using SIEM, event viewer, EDR, etc. Additionally, how can you gain practical experience in this field
After completing the task, return to the main topic you were addressing and start taking notes. Add your own ideas about the topic and try to explain the technique to someone, like a friend or a family member. Alternatively, you can try to write a post, as I believe that if you want to understand something, you should try to explain it to others.
I don't always use this method because I can be lazy sometimes. So, just because I write about it doesn't necessarily mean that I do it every day. We are all human and imperfect, so if you miss a day, don't worry about it. Just get back on track and try again the next day. This is your second chance, so make the most of it.
