Archaeologists dig slowly on purpose. Rushing destroys the evidence. Some learning can’t be sped up.

Some things cannot be hurried, because speed destroys the thing you were trying to get. Digging fast moves more soil and ruins the information that made the site worth opening, so the slowness is not caution. It is the method. Plenty of learning works the same way: rushed through, the material technically passes in front of you and leaves nothing behind.

Choose whatever you have been trying to get through quickly and deliberately halve the pace for one session. Stop at every point you do not fully follow. You will cover less ground and keep more of it.
