How do I study and retain information without getting overloaded? (lemm.ee)

I want to study, learn and self teach myself things that interest me like learning the Japanese language and learning how to draw but I'll also sometimes have the issue of information filling up in my mind and overloading without it actually being retained or only a small amount of information being retained

The overloaded feeling sometimes even leads to mild to worser headaches

I absolutely hate this issue because I love self teaching myself things I'm interested in but this issue stops me from self teaching and learning properly

Officially, like 1 or something. But because of the mountains to the south, I won't see the sun until the 22nd. But polar night ended yesterday technically.
