Learning Something New
Now that I'm unemployed, I've started exploring new things I've never encountered before, such as IT-related topics and outsourcing work. I'm also reviewing subjects I dealt with daily in the past, like vehicles and simulation, but never systematically organized my knowledge of them.
Regarding IT knowledge, I've been finding resources online and reading them carefully. However, I've found myself unable to understand much of what's written. I'm not sure why. Although I have some basic IT knowledge, I'm now realizing it's too difficult to grasp. The material may be poorly written or not translated clearly into Vietnamese. I'm going to try reading about these topics in English or Japanese instead.
Learning Something New

You can break the original sentence into two clauses to see why it's ungrammatical:
1. subjects I dealt with daily in the past;
2. subjects I never systematically organized my knowledge of them.
Now, it is clear that the addition of "them" is incorrect.

Thank you!
So it means use "them" at the end of the sentence, the reader can not understand what they are, right?
And I should correct to "I'm also reviewing subjects I dealt with daily in the past, like vehicles and simulation, but never systematically organized my knowledge." or "I'm also reviewing subjects I dealt with daily in the past, like vehicles and simulation. But they are never systematically organized by myself ", isn't that?

Ah, excuse me, but I just had a realisation. There are actually two ways to interpret your original sentence.
(1) You are reviewing some subjects. In the past, these were subjects you dealt with daily. IN THE PAST, you never organised your knowledge of them.
(2) You are reviewing some subjects. In the past, these were subjects you dealt with daily. NOW, you never organise your knowledge of them.
When I first read your sentence, interpretation (1) was my first thought. Upon reading your question, though, I realised that it's possible you were considering interpretation (2). How you should correct your sentence will depend on which interpretation your intended implication was.
(1) "I'm also reviewing subjects I dealt with daily in the past, like vehicles and simulation, but never systematically organized my knowledge of."
(2) "I'm also reviewing subjects I dealt with daily in the past, like vehicles and simulation, but I have not been systematically organizing my knowledge of them."
May I ask which of the two interpretations your intended message was?

Thanks. You are so kind as to try to help me understand better. What I mean is (1): "IN THE PAST, I never organised my knowledge of them.
I see them too much, that's enough for me to work unconsciously daily.

In that case, my original correction holds. The correct sentence should be "I'm also reviewing subjects I dealt with daily in the past, like vehicles and simulation, but never systematically organized my knowledge of."
The "them" is ungrammatical (but the "of" is absolutely necessary), not because the reader doesn't understand what it refers to, but because it is completely extra. Perhaps this is easier to see by means of some more straightforward examples.
"things (which) I've never heard about" ⭕️
"things (which) I've never heard about them" ❌
"things (which) I've never seen" ⭕️
"things (which) I've never seen them" ❌
"things (which) I've never done" ⭕️
"things (which) I've never done them" ❌
"subjects I never organized my knowledge of" ⭕️
"subjects I never organized my knowledge of them" ❌
