Hello everyone!

I'm back after a two day absence. You might ask where I was, you might not, but the answer is this:

Blackouts and College.

Wednesday I was busy with a robotics task, which kept me awake all night and with no time to write.

Yesterday, there was a 5 hr blackout at night in my house.

However, enough complaining. Now It's time to talk about today's subject: The Feynman Technique.

One of the most famous physicists of all time, this professor was a genius that had a level of mathematical intuitiveness not many can replicate. However, he had many tricks behind his sleeve that permitted him to achieve the state of genius and a legend, between these, one of them: The Feynman Technique.

Whether you don't understand a subject at all, You get only some parts of It or you need to prove It through examples and explanations, this 3 step method will benefit you when tackling a new concept.

Let's begin!

1.- Write the concept down.

The first thing you should do is to know what you want to learn. Whether It is a cupcake recipe, the meaning of a word or differential equations, the first thing is jotting down the concept you want to learn.

2.- Explain the concept.

This is where we'll have to device different strategies depending on the type of concept you're trying to learn:

If you're trying to understand a word that you don't fully understand or maybe a passage of law, then the solution is to explain to the best of your ability the concept as If you were teaching It to someone who knows nothing about the topic.

If you're going with more procedural skills, then you'll be better writing the solution and explaining why that course of action makes sense to you.

In this way, you'll understand how really things work.

3.- Check, Fix Repeat.

The next step is to go back to the information and see If you're satisfied with the definition you gave. If not, then It's time to come up with a better explanation and repeat the process.

These three steps form a great, simple process that you can apply to understand new things right away. Now you won't have to through the initial phase of figuring what is even that you're trying to do, as focusing on the principles will always give you a plus

I hope this article could have been of use and that you can apply the strategy mentioned above. I would love to see in what context you apply them.

Thank you for your support and good luck!
