Feynman learning technique is effective
full learning something new

The imperative

deepen your understanding of what you
already know

the first step is to pick a topic
you want to understand and start studying it.

once you know what it is
about take a piece of paper and write about it

as if you're teaching the idea to someone else

ideally write and speak at the same time
just as a teacher does it at the blackboard

this makes you realize which part you
understand and where you still have gaps

whenever you get stuck go back to study
and repeat that process until you have

explained the whole topic from start to
end

when you're done repeat the process from the beginning
but this time simplify your language or

if your explanation ends up wordy or
confusing

you probably have not understood it well
enough so you should start again

thinking about an idea by explaining it
makes this learning method very effective

once you can explain an idea in simple
language you have deeply understood it

Richard Feynman was a leading
theoretical physicist who received a

Nobel Prize for his work in quantum
electrodynamics

he was notorious for asking his fellow mathematicians to explain concepts in simple language
