OK, now you're actually strategizing / self-relecting. This is potentially a real weakness in your PhD skills, not just flailing at argh, can't. I remind you that you're not expected to be able do everything an academic can do at the start of your PhD, it's supposed to be a training programme, the whole point is to learn to do the stuff you currently don't have the experience in.
This is something I'm reasonably good at and something I have some experience in teaching, so if you would like me to help you with this specific thing I would be glad to. Probably not here and now in this comment discussion, because apart from anything else I need to pack and leave for Worldcon in the next few hours! But the offer stands for any time you feel daunted by a self-directed literature absorbing task, and you're also in a place when you feel like some guidance / brainstorming of strategies might help.
