2. Feynman Technique

The steps in Feynman Technique are:

  1. Take something you wanna understand.
  2. Write out an explanation as if you were teaching it to someone who didn't understand the subject. 
  3. Whenever you get stuck, go back to the material and relearn. Eventually, you'll fill in the gaps in your knowledge until you can write an explanation without needing the source material.  
  4. Finally, attempt to simplify your explanation, getting rid of technical terms and convoluted language. Simplify it to the point that a kid could get what you're saying. Analogies is one of the method to simplify.
