During (the German equivalent of) middle and the beginning of high school, I studied mathematics at my local university. This helped me not only to learn more efficiently but also to think more systematically. (Maybe physics is an even better choice, because having studied physics one has good job opportunities in all kinds of business areas indicating that the physicist’s skillset is a very large and generally useful one.)
This massively helps me to acquire new knowledge, because mathematical formalisms are used not only in mathematics but also in physics and especially computer science.
Also, learning to program is a good idea if you have not already done so. As Steve Jobs said, ““Everybody should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think.” I think the ability to program to be of great importance whenever one has to judge the precision of a text or a proposal but also your own understanding—I can always ask myself: “Could I theoretically turn this idea into a computer program or at least a mathematical formalism?” And during this thought process, I can develop ideas, indentify imprecisions and find ways to eliminate them.
