the best advice is just dive in. really. firstly do a research for basics. when you dive in, you will need research again. and again again. every Lain started like this. they broke things, did a research or something similar, fixed this things and they learned.
this is how works in tech

here's how I do it.
I pick out several things that I want to know how to do or understand better, then I do research on what books are the best for what i'm trying to learn. After acquiring enough knowledge and making sure I have all the tools, I write down my major interests in a file
then I break it down to a series of smaller sub interests,
then I break those down into manageable tasks
eventually after repeatedly spending 20 minute or more bursts of time on each subtask on the list,
sometimes I might find myself with a higher understanding enough to do what I want with my knowledge. when i'm satisfied I move onto something else and remake or edit the list.
here's an example of my tasklist. I keep it on my screen at all times to remind me. I try to minimize distractions but I usually end up distracted anyways. still, I manage to learn stuff.

The best way to learn is to have a goal in mind. Learning becomes secondary to accomplishing a goal. If you understand how to set goals properly, then learning becomes easy.
Think of if I say you have a goal to ski a local mountain by next February, then you will be forced to learn the skills of
1. How to Ski (physical skill)
2. Local mountain topography & ski routes
3. What gear you need
4. Brands of gear that are the best
5. Safety precautions
when skills are needed to accomplish a goal, you are both motivated to learn them, and they have meaning which means you won't soon forget them.
If you just pick up a book to learn a skill, it won't have any actual application and you will soon forget them.
As a side note, I would relate this to how many people learn a language to impress a woman or their GF. If they break up, that person still has a pretty good idea of that language.

You don't need advice or tips, you need to actually want to learn and be ready to put some effort.
>learning about tech
What does that even mean? It's too vague.
>every time I try to learn something, I get too distracted
Considering that you're posting on an imageboard, the best guess I can make is that you're addicted to constant internet stimulation.
There is only one thing I can recommend to you based on my guessing. Find a university degree program that sounds interesting to you. Pick an undergraduate subject, preferably from the first year. Find recorded lectures from some university that releases them publically (MIT has some), or if you can't find them, find the book they use. Then, download all the necessary material and work through it while *keeping all of your devices offline*. Do the recommended exercises if available.
I have very little confidence you will do any of that, because it requires more effort and commitment than making a garbage thread here or watching youtube/tik tok. But nevertheless, this is really all it takes if you actually want to learn.
