You can <a href="/wiki/2020-07-06-03-47-52">Refer to advanced resources when skill-building for a solid short-term goal</a> to clear your specific example similar to a final proof-reading before you submit your paper.

</p></li><li><p>Work your way up the knowledge tree you've just created until you can reproduce/create the example with your newfound hierarchical knowledge accurately.

Normally, we do the above process subconciously but to explicitly write tasks and projects that we want to tackle can lessen the burden.
