When Civilization 6 was released, together with my girlfried we sat down and had a look at the game and started playing. What we figured out is that as the game is quite complex you can't get the whole picture in a blink of an eye. Then we decided to focus on one victory at a time. What this means is that we began playing several games trying to win with culture, then science, then domination and so on. The game is much more digestible like this, because it's easier to become very good at only one thing.
After playing Civ 6 about a week my mind made an interesting analogy with martial arts and then with my starting years as a programmer. How is Civ 6 approach similar to martial arts? Well, you usually train one single technique per training session. This gives you focus and allows you to get deeper understanding of the corresponding technique. This means you have much more chance to recognize a situation where you can use it.
The programming was quite similar. I was first focused learning C for about half a year, then switched to Java for another year, then to C++. It wasn't simultaneously, it was one language at a time. This doesn't mean I had very deep understanding about each of the languages, but I was aware of them. In order to get deeper understanding you have to be emerged in much more deeper and longer learning process.
Let me know if this approach worked for you in the comments below.
Keep learning and may the Force be with you!
