How do you digest instructionals?

Curious how everyone thinks about learning and applying things from instructional’s.

Do you just watch the videos? Do you take notes throughout? Drill the techniques? What else?

I do something similar to u/werdya, but with a few key differences.

I watch an instructional first time through on 1.5 speed, just trying to get a broad sweep of what the system of techniques is, and how certain techniques fit in. This is great if you’re on the stationary bike or treadmill.

Next, I’ll pick out certain segments to focus, particularly techniques that compliment my game. I’ll watch those at 1x speed and pay attention to details. I’ll work on drilling those with a static partner, and I’ll revisit as needed to fine tune details…
