It's really just sitting down a few times a day and practicing what I already know and then adding on a few more digits in chunks. The size of the chunks depend on what the digits themselves are, I can usually just see 3-5 digits and know which ones would work well together in chunks. For example 3383 is a good chunk since it's easy to remember, as well as 75105. Or if I can just find a good rhythm to think of/say a group of digits I'll put them in a chunk, for example 98214 or 6513282306647.
I only learn in preparation for the Pi day contest at my school nowadays, last year I prepared for like a week to get from 100 to 225, but this year the morning of the contest I just went over digits 101-140 and brushed up on em.

Lucky. Our school doesn't do that.. Okay I'm in South Africa but still. Yeah idk I just understand how to memo them and it kinda forms in groups of either 3 or 4 digits. It sticks Idk
