Use the 'Feynman Method' to Learn New Things

If you can't teach a subject in simple terms, you probably don't understand it as well as you think you do.
Beth tells us:
We often don’t understand things as well as we think we do. How often have you “learned” something you can’t fully recall later, or that you can’t explain to someone else? While we’ve previously suggested that you write down or discuss a detailed version of your understanding, there’s a related and simpler way of filling gaps in your own knowledge: the Feynman technique.
This comes from physicist Richard Feynman’s observation that if you can’t explain a complex concept at a simpler level, you probably don’t understand it well yourself. Or to put it another way: Teaching others can be the best way to learn.
