The Feynman learning technique
The Feynman learning technique is not a mental model but a way to approach a subject to learn it faster and better.
- Pretend you're teaching a concept to a child. Write down in simple terms everything you know about the subject.
- Identify the gaps. Go over what you've written down and see how you can improve it. What's missing or unclear.
- Organise and simplify. Create a better way to explain the concept.
- Transmit. Communicate your idea to someone to get feedback.
