You Can Apply the Feynman technique to Master Pretty Much Any Skill
The most effective method to study any concept or master any skill
I’ve written about this wonderful learning technique several times before. The name of the technique comes from the most amazing teacher of the science of all time, Professor Richard Feynman. Just to give you an idea of how passionate he was about teaching and how conscious he was about his audience, Feynman used to practice for hours in an empty classroom before most of his lectures to make sure that his delivery is to the point and so that he could engage the audience in the most humorous and intellectual manner possible. This wasn’t anything new for Feynman. He has been widely known for his expressive character and charismatic personality.
This story, however, isn’t about Richard Feynman or his life. It’s about a technique that Feynman developed (he did not coin the terms for the technique though) that we can use not just in the field of academics but to learn pretty much skill. This is surprisingly helpful to master any skill, be it understanding a quantum mechanical concept, learning how to draw, or making your first graphic design. I believe this is the most underrated learning technique of all and the ones who use it, mostly use it with the objective to learn an academic concept.
