As someone that teaches in higher education, I've learned the power of these steps especially #2 and #4.

I loved the last outake.

This is a wonderful method of learning and promoting the education of others on what you have learned. The fact that you can incorporate Todoist is a huge plus!

Thanks, Naomi, and the Todoist team, for another brilliant video! I have been an ardent follower of the Feynman Technique and boy is it life-changing! One of the tests I have for myself in order to confirm that I've understood something 'well enough' is to explain it to my 8-year old nephew. Needless to say, analogies always come to rescue, but breaking it down into the four steps as you mentioned above makes it even more informative, practical and easier to adopt. Kudos and subbed! \m/

I appreciate these videos. I think the key challenge to this technique is planning to teach the concept to different people - not just a peer, but maybe an expert and a toddler. That helps ensure that you revisit the content when you come across questions that either might bring that you don't know the answer to. Thanks for sharing.

That was an incredible explanation of the feynmann technique! I had never heard of it before and found it incredibly informative and helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a clear and engaging way. Especially the bonus of todoist's role in implementing the technique.

Back in school, I used the Feynman Technique all the time to really get a grip on different subjects. The idea is to explain things in simple terms, like you're teaching a kid, which helped me spot what I didn't know and learn better. Later on, when I started teaching in college, I told my students about it too. It's a great way to master tough topics and really understand what you're learning.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing this technique. I have certainly experienced the concept of teaching in order to learn.
Very good video!

Never heard of that technique before. I’m curious about it, i’ll try it. Thanks for sharing!

Whenever I was preparing for an interview or exam I’d create cards with questions to test my knowledge and understanding. I’d then shuffle the cards and pick them out at one at a time and see if I could answer the questions. That technique often revealed gaps and misunderstandings that I could then address. Not exactly the pure Feynman technique but maybe the equivalent of a distant cousin of the technique.

I kinda link this to the whole PKM process that has become famous in the last few years. But the best example that we see this is when we make book notes, where we write it down after reading and then even share it with fellow readers. But definitely the idea behind keeping it simple is to be followed.

Excellent video, I didn't know this amazing technique.
Thanks!

Awesome video, I will create a todoist task list for learning. I also learned that recently reminders became part of Todoist free so I will make full use of it.

Implementing this, with source notes and URLs, in a todoist task is brilliant. Maybe to take it to the next level, set the task to repeat at some regular interval and quiz yourself again to see if what you thought you learned has made it into long term "storage". :)

These kind of videos are very helpful. Clear & crisp expIanation. I somewhat follow similar technique but this technique seems much easier to follow.
