This might sound a bit simplistic, but try different things. Different people process info in different ways, and you'll never figure out what you don't know that you don't know if you don't consider different perspectives and techniques.

I have several teammates at work that process information better by having meetings and talking through various projects and concepts whereas I need to throw on headphones, become dead to the world, and focus to achieve my best state for thinking through things. I retain information better by typing or writing it out by hand, which I attribute to growing up with video games.

Do you run real or thought experiments often? I find that very useful whenever i notice a result is off or something parameterizable. Like, what can i tweak to alter the result

I wouldn't say 'often', but I definitely do. My work has a quarterly process meeting where we talk through new things everyone has learned and figure out ways we can add to our procedures and put those thoughts and methods down on paper. It's not my favorite to talk through things, TBH, but I always learn new things when we have those roundtables.
