This is a difficult question to prescribe an answer for that works for everyone, but the best I personally can think of is "practice".

To make that more actionable... My approach in life has generally been to find a project (even something seemingly incredibly dumb, as long as it is fun), then work through it, learning what I need to know as I go along. To learn "well", you must then also constantly question what you have done as you complete various stages of the project to see if you have done them as effectively as possible, and try to incorporate any lessons learned into future projects.

I have found that how individuals do the learning required for this differs significantly from person to person, so it is hard to recommend any particular approach.
