I think the most important is to zero in with full focus and engage the material as deeply as possible, trying to understand the essence of what is being communicated.  You can almost always put a bit more effort and attention into it. Always try to relate it to the other stuff you learned and make the connections. It will make it easier to remember and it will grow your own personal understanding. Going for a walk afterwards or doing nothing and thinking about it also helps.

Of course there are many other techniques, that are potentially useful like writing stuff you remember down afterwards but I never sticked to those since it is not very fun.

This. Also, I noticed building a sense of familiarity and empathy towards the author and their life context will automatically connect you to the source of their insights which makes you more attuned to how they gained it and bypasses the purely knowledge based layer of interpretation.
