As you learn about the subject, you will need some markers of progress:

What are the stages of learning? 
Are there steps?  chapters?  concepts? and what is the sequence?
Are there short term goals?  These should be as specific as possible.
 
What skills am I developing as I learn?
These can be used in other situations and should be recognized!
 
What have I learned that won't work?
Will I need to retrace my steps to find alternatives?
 
Does something not make sense?
Tasks that involve "a moderate amount of discrepancy or incongruity" are beneficial because they stimulate curiosity
 
How am I rewarding myself?
We can reward ourselves for effort or tasks!
 
Am I thinking positively with my goals in mind?
Avoid avoidance!
