How does one deal with verbs like かける that have five billion different meanings? http://jisho.org/words?jap=%E3%81%8B%E3%81%91%E3%82%8B&eng=&dict=edict

In text the kanji (when used) narrows it down a bit but for example with 掛ける there's still a shitload to consider. Currently I decided to just give up and instead learn it more than once in different contexts, like 鍵を掛ける (かぎをかける, to lock something) but it seems like this list would be arbitrarily long.
