Optimal Protocols for Studying & Learning

So a key theme in all of the excellent literature that is the peer reviewed research on how best to study is that studying that feels challenging is the most effective. I know nobody wants to hear this. Everyone wants to hear about flow. Everybody wants to hear about information just sinking into their brain by osmosis. I think it was a Garfield cartoon where he talked about learning by osmosis.
