The technique involves four steps:
1) Choose a topic that you want to learn and write it down.
2) Pretend that you are teaching the topic to someone who has no prior knowledge of it. Write down everything you know in simple language, using examples and analogies.

4) Simplify and organize your notes until you have a concise summary.
