10 learning techniques that you can use:

1. Always recall at the end of every chapter. 
2. Skim through the chapters first so that you can have a bit of idea. Skimming over topics will act as hooks.
3. When you complete any chapter in a book, try to see how the chapter name is justified. 
4. Reading before the lecture is the same as skimming.
5. Make a schedule to space out repetitions also. 
6. Use Cal Newport's method of scheduling.
7. Sunday should be 'Whole week Recall Day'.
8. Designate one place at the home where the only thing you do is studying.
9. Sit in proper posture when doing the studying. 
10. Never ever stop reading books.
