Are you just reading/learning/performing the things day by day? So day 6, you only do the things of day 6, etc? If so, I think you should also repeat some of the days before. So on day 6, also go over days 3/5 briefly again. And write .py code each day using as much of the past days info you learned. Repetition and doing stuff yourself (or changing existing .py files and seeing what happens) works for me. That way I make the information my own. I also like the small exercises on http://codingbat.com/python
