The Feynman Pass

Run it: When a concept won't click

Explain it simply, as if teaching a 12-year-old. Gaps in your explanation are gaps in your understanding.

The steps

1. 1Write the concept's name at the top of a page.
2. 2Explain it in plain words, no jargon.
3. 3Where you stall or get vague, go back to the source.
4. 4Simplify again and add an everyday analogy.
