Best method for studying is writing little tests for yourself and trying to recall your lectures just like you would do in university/school. Obviously this isn't always possible due to time, so the best method I found for studying is writing down notes on a special theory notebook while I read, highlighting sections and uploading quotes to bookwyrm.
There was a method I learned when I studied History which I haven't tried with theory yet, using reading cards in which you write a synthetic version of the main arguments of a book or section you want to study.

Chronic low self-esteem, I sometimes let it out in spaces I really shouldn't
