Question How do you study between lessons?

First post, so please excuse if this isn't in the right forum.

Just started my PPL in a PA-38, and I've only had one hour so far! I'm trying to study what I've learnt every day til my next lesson - two lessons a month due to travel issues getting to the airfield.

I have both the Jeremy Pratt AFE manual, and also the Thom manual which I find between them quite good - but I feel like I'm not doing enough to study, and I'm finding it difficult to grasp everything it's telling me. I work nights, and I take my books every day to study in spare time and break, and I study as soon as I get up for 2-3 hours. But I still feel like it's not enough.

So I was wondering, how do you guys study between lessons and putting the theory into practice, what other study-methods do you adopt or any other mediums of study to recommend? I just don't feel confident that reading and re-reading what I've read until its burnt into my retinas is going to get me very far. Anyone had experience with this?

Thanks, guys!
