It comes with experience. So don't be in a rush. Learning comes when you are in the field by yourself.
Most importantly, if you shadow someone who is an experienced person, it helps you to grow too.
Ask questions as much as you can to know how your seniors have handled a particular situation.

Hi Camren. The first thing that I would do is to understand and confirm what is goal of the job. Many jobs fail due to miscommunication with the person who wants the job done. Then write down step-by-step what you will do to get the job done. Check back with the person that you are doing the job for at different points to make sure you are doing this correctly. Once the job is done, look back to see what went well and what could have been done better so you learn for next time.

Learn from experience and ask your peers any questions that you may have. No matter where you are in your position, whether you are a brand new employee or a seasoned veteran, it will only BENEFIT you if you ask questions. By asking questions, you only show others how invested you are with the position. If you do NOT ask questions and if you mess up, that will cause some problems but take that as a learning experience. You can learn more about that particular part of the job and make sure that it will not happen again.

Hi Camren- Naya,
Here are a few points that I find helpful when starting a position or trying something new.
1. Be open-minded: When starting a new role, you are likely working with an entire new team who you haven't met before. Your team will be helpful resources in supporting your growth. Being open-minded allows you to take in any advice, perspectives, or ways of learning/going about tasks from those around you.
2. Ask questions: You will likely encounter a lot of new, unfamiliar information when starting a new role. Ask questions when you need more clarification or would like additional details on a task. It's gives an indication that you are curious and are eager to learn. Example questions include, "What is the greater purpose of this task?" "Are there any other examples that you can provide to guide me?" "What other tools should I be aware of?" "How can I connect this to another item that I learned?"
3. Shadow: As Jasanpreet said, shadowing someone on your team can give you a better insight into how a line of work is carried out. When you shadow, you are given the opportunity to explore routines and discussions, and it can help inform you of how to approach an everyday responsibility.

Camren, the best way to do a Job is to first understand the goals of your Job. Try to visualize it in whatever way you can and pen it down and spend some time with it and ask yourself if this is right, check the pros and cons, and refine it. Once you have the imagination you can zero down on the endpoint/goal.
Then there will be 100 ways to get that job done. List down all possible ways you feel are the best and discuss it with your colleagues, friends, and knowledgeable people and take their view and enhance the work plan and select the Top 3 plan which has the most efficient Time frame, value, money, cost, effort and more importantly solves the issue. Within this top 3, select the "The Best" plan and keep the other 2 ask backup plans.
Finally what we learn is that there is no single best way to do a Job, instead focus on a group of best possible ways which will help you be more efficient, consistent, and reliable!

I know that starting a new position or just entering the workforce can be intimidating. Keep in mind that everyone was new at one point. Utilize your peers for shadowing and for asking questions about the job from a day-to-day perspective. Remember that your manager is there to support you. Talk to your manager on a regular basis (I personally meet with my manager one-on-one weekly). At first, those meetings may be more general about your background, "how is it going?", etc. Eventually, you'll get to the point where these conversations are relaxed and meaningful from a day-to-day perspective and a long term perspective. Lastly, I recommend being open to and asking for feedback from your manager. Feedback has been one of the most effective ways to improve short and long term.
