One trick is to stop worring about completely understanding the maths on your first pass through the material. Instead make note of what you were confused about and continue on.
If for instance you find that you need a refresher on complex integration, don't stop reading and do quarter's worth of review of complex analysis. Don't expect to complete a year of differential geometry in the few chapters that lead to Gravity.
After you finish through the a first pass, definitely go back to sections that you want to understand better and do the necessary work to improve your understanding.
