Learning with the Feynman technique
- Step 1: Pick something you want to learn. Spend time with the idea until you have internalized it as best you can.
- Step 2: From memory, write everything down that you know about the subject in a way that a child can understand. Write the items down that you don't remember and find answers for those items.
- Step 3: Question every line you have written down. Some things you will understand, but at some point, you will write things down that you don't know. Then find the answers to these new topics.
