How to Study Quantum Field Theory

Quantum field theory is one of the cornerstones of modern theoretical physics. It is understandable that many people who aspire to work on some of the biggest open questions in current theoretical physics research are interested to learn about this framework. However, navigating exactly how to learn it (and do so efficiently) is not an easy task. The resources covering the material can feel quite jarring and disconnected from each other. Because I experienced similar confusion myself initially, I am providing you with some of the most practical tips I could've gathered when it came to learning this subject. These tips are by no means all comprehending and complete, as I still have a very long way to go before I am fully comfortable with QFT. However, I still hope that they serve as a guideline and insight as to how to approach it as someone starting out with their QFT studying.
