# Feynman technique --- 1. **Choose a concept to learn**. Select a topic you’re interested in learning about and write it at the top of a blank page in a notebook. 2. **Teach it to yourself or someone else**. Write everything you know about a topic out as if you were explaining it to yourself. Alternately, actually teach it to someone else. 3. **Return to the source material if you get stuck**. Go back to whatever you’re learning from – a book, lecture notes, podcast – and fill the gaps in your knowledge. 4. **Simplify your explanations and create analogies**. Streamline your notes and explanation, further clarifying the topic until it seems obvious. Additionally, think of analogies that feel intuitive. ---
