How to Learn Complex Topics Fast | The Feynman Technique #SHORTS

The Feynman technique will help you master difficult concepts and retain them over long periods of time. Here’s how and when to use it. First, write the name of the concept at the top of your page. This way you deliberately focus your attention on mastering this single topic or concept. Next, explain it in detail using simple language, as if you were teaching it to someone who knows little to nothing about the topic.

As you work through explaining the concept, you will naturally identify problem areas that are difficult to explain in simple terms. Use this as a guide to go back to your notes and fill in the gaps in your understanding.

Once you’ve effectively explained the concept, go back, pinpoint any complicated terms, and challenge yourself to simplify it further.

Now, when should you use it? To maximize your studying efficiency, don’t use the Feynman technique for everything you study.

This technique works best for concepts that require a complex understanding of the material. It is less helpful for topics that are simple, easy to understand, or require only basic memorization.

What topics do you use the Feynman technique for? Comment below.
