The Feynman Technique is a unique learning method that prioritizes simplicity to create depth of understanding. After deeply understanding the topic, conveying the ideas in a post will be easier.

The name comes from Richard Feynman, an American theoretical physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his influential research in quantum electrodynamics.

The Feynman Technique is a method of learning that entails cultivating a thorough comprehension of a specific subject.

It involves 4 key steps:

1. Set the Stage
2. ELIS (Explain It To Me Like I'm 5)
3. Assess & Study
4. Organize, Convey & Review

Step 1: Set the StageStep 1: Set the Stage

What's the topic you want to learn?
Starting with a blank page, write the topic at the top and jot down everything you know about it.
Then read (research) and think about the topic.

Step 2: ELI5Step 2: ELI5

Here's where it gets unique:
Attempt to explain the topic to someone without a base understanding of it (i.e. a
"child").

On a blank page, write down everything you know about your topic, but pretend you are explaining it to a child.
Use simple language!

Step 3: Assess & StudyStep 3: Assess & Study

Reflect on your performance - form an honest assessment.
How well were you able to explain the topic to a child?
Where did you get frustrated?
Where did you turn to jargon?
These are the gaps in your understanding!
Read and study more to fill them.

Step 4: Organize, Convey & ReviewStep 4: Organize, Convey & Review

Organize your elegant, simple language into a clear, compelling story or narrative.
Convey it to a few others, then iterate and refine it accordingly.
Review your new, deep understanding of the topic.

Remember: Simple is beautiful.

In my opinion, the Feynman Technique is a powerful framework for learning anything.
