Unsure if it'd be your case, but maybe you're too tired? Tiredness can mess memory afaik. Or maybe you're not using the ideal learning methods? In my case for language learning, for example, repetition is a guaranteed way for me to lose focus, instead with cinversations being ideal for learning.
For language, I was using a textbook but currently I am just doing Duolingo to keep myself acquainted while I pick up my textbook learning habit again. Also subscribing to relevant subs and communities to stay fresh and immersed.
My issue is mostly with coding and retaining concepts I learnt for that.
