Note-taking for life not just academics

Leave a comment

Richard Feynman knew his stuff. Had he not, he probably wouldn’t have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, let alone his various other prestigious scientific awards.

Because of his proven track record and approaches that are easy to understand and implement, using his techniques (from the video, below) and usage of concepts such as those in Cornell Notes, there are resources and techniques that can be used in everyday life, let alone learning – at any age.

You can watch his video below, and/or read his article here

How to Learn Faster with the Feynman Technique (Example Included)

If you want to cut your study time, using the Feynman Technique is a great way to do it. Named after the physicist Richard Feynman, it revolves around explaining a concept in simple language as if you were teaching it to someone else. In this video, I’ll show you exactly how to use the Feynman Technique.
