Feynman’s Technique Helps You Learn Faster and Retain More Information

You can read something and hope that it will all be transferred to your brain for future use. Or you can read this and write down what you just learned as if you were teaching someone else and actually save it. This is called the Feynman technique.

In other words, implement a more “active” way of learning , which obviously requires a lot more work than it seems. Ideally, when you write down your knowledge, you should also repeat what you wrote out loud as a teacher instructing the class. With this method, you will find all areas that need improvement and can focus on those weak points again. Repeat this until you can explain the topic or idea in detail and simply . “Once you learn to explain an idea in simple language, you will deeply understand it and remember it for a long time,” the video explains.

We know this isn’t a terrific novel or news story, it’s just a good reminder that you are really good at a subject when you can teach something else and let them know.
