I usually use the read and repeat method. Read it then recite what you read without looking at the text. Of course, when studying the old ways are still of use. Study in areas with little to no distractions, study in well lit areas and it is also quite helpful to study with the help of another. As long as its not your significant other because I doubt your minds would be on books for long.
Btw, I like your name. Its very unique.
