That's because you're not really studying. You're reading a wikipedia article and forgetting most of it 10 min later.
Nah man, choosing what topics and periods to study makes a world of difference in motivation. I was always at least a little interested in the topics and periods covered in school, but I can also remember sleeping through class because I found the forced pace tedious.
I will read a Wikipedia article and forget most of it in 10 minutes. Serious history nerds will read a Wikipedia article and if you ask them to quote it word-for-word on their deathbed, they'll say "which revision"
That's idly browsing the internet, not studying history as a hobby.
