MindMap Gallery Feynman learning method
This is a reading note. Mastering the correct learning methods can achieve twice the result with half the effort in study and work. The core of Feynman's learning method is to simplify complex knowledge, use teaching instead of learning, and use output to force input. This is not only a learning method, but also a way of thinking.

Feynman learning method
1. Establish learning objects
Keywords: goal
Why study
The prerequisite for learning a piece of knowledge well is to fully understand the piece of knowledge, including its value that has yet to be developed.
Pursuit: open thinking, critical thinking, clear and concise expression and logical thinking
Focus on goals
Focus on a correct goal within a golden period of one or two years and achieve as extraordinary results as possible
How to find the right direction
First, for me, what is the most important thing/the most meaningful/what I like the most (a future direction b current focus)
Second, turn ‘the most important thing’ into your own direction
Build strong connections with goals
Arrange a study plan: how to study, how to divide it into several stages, how to proceed in an orderly manner, and how to achieve the goal on time
Plans and goals require timely interaction and feedback to ensure that your efforts are correct. how to do? SMART principle
S: specific must be clear and descriptive
M: mesure must be quantified and able to be evaluated
A: Achievable must be within the scope of ability
R: rewarding must have a positive meaning
T: time-bound must be a limited period
Is there a better direction?
There are two standards for the comfort zone of learning: first, the learning direction that is correct and suitable for oneself; second, reasonable goals within the scope of one's own abilities.
Plan an efficient learning path
Focus on your most important goals
Find the inner connection between interests, goals and plans, and formulate correct study plans
Revise goals at any time based on feedback during the planning and action process
Principles for establishing goals
Comprehensiveness
Have an overall and holistic view
importance
Focused and targeted (which problem to solve)
challenge
Ability to tap and stimulate one's own potential and not artificially reduce difficulty
feasibility
Must conform to objective reality
Adjustability
Have backup plans and room for change when circumstances change
2. Understand the knowledge learned
Keywords: Systematization
Categorize and compare sources of knowledge
Systematize knowledge logically
a. Understand why you study
b. Have a broad enough field of vision
c. Establish the most objective and scientific logic.
Filter and retain the most reliable knowledge
Filter and extract knowledge
Methodology for filtering knowledge
Collect and retain reliable knowledge
Identify “fake knowledge”
Block knowledge from uncertain sources
Be careful with differentiated knowledge
Use comparative methods to select and distinguish knowledge
Form a thinking and process map
Horizontal expansion: "visualizing" knowledge - mind mapping method
First draw a concept map: graphically illustrate the theme, purpose and other elements to highlight the theories and perspectives of the book.
Draw another structure diagram: reveal the relationship between the table of contents, chapters and concepts, and classify the different sections of the book to form a concise hierarchical structure, which is conducive to targeted reading.
You can also draw a cause-and-effect diagram: list the cause and effect of the ideas in the book, and the relationship between the arguments and reasoning logic.
Draw a learning process
Step one: short-term memory
The first step in understanding knowledge is to build a system, which can be a subject system or an analytical system. Can form a short-term memory in the brain
Step Two: Mental Imagery
It means that knowledge forms abstract concepts in our brains in a visual way. Features: 1. Refined language expression; 2. Text expression can be visualized
Step Three: Double Encoding
Combine text images with pictures (videos) to understand what you have learned. can be converted into lasting long-term memory
Step 4: Long-term memory
Make fragmented written language integrated
Principles of Reading and Memory
Basic principles: Establish your own thinking framework during learning, and systematically understand and absorb knowledge.
Little Principle 1: Get useful information quickly
Little Principle 2: Learn how to find and analyze problems
🌰: When reading a book or learning about unfamiliar information, prepare a simple notebook and pen
1. Read the book or information in general, no more than 20 minutes
2. Make a simple summary in your notebook
Theme - what is it about, what is its purpose
Author - author’s qualifications and expertise
Structure - Topics of Classifications and Sections
3. Start reading and analyzing
Section 1:…
Topic 1:…
Main point 1…
Argument process
Main point 2…
Main point 3…
Topic 2
Topic 3

first retelling
Definition: Retelling what you have learned and understood so that the listener can understand it.
Method: Watch yourself practice it again, and treat yourself as your friend in front of the mirror. Assuming this is a very serious occasion, the other party will definitely want to hear your opinion. Tell him the essence of the book to ensure that he can fully understand it. Understand
It is beneficial to: build long-term memory; deepen the understanding of knowledge; learn to associate knowledge more actively; get feedback on problems.
Three stages of the implementation process
The first stage: retelling based on impressions
The second stage: raising questions during the retelling
The third stage: add your own opinions in the retelling
Systematic thinking principles
Level: Classification and comparison
Summarize, compare pros and cons, and look at issues from various angles
Divergence: Mind Map
Discover the connections between knowledge points
Convergence: knowledge structure
Structure knowledge to form your own knowledge framework
3. Export learned knowledge to others
Keywords: output
Teaching instead of learning
The requirement is: translate professional language into vernacular that everyone can understand
After learning a piece of knowledge, turn it into a course and sell it online
First, the language is concise and easy to understand
Second, it is precise and without ambiguity.
Third, speak with a certain depth
Fourth, add your own understanding
Strengthen cognition (i.e. writing mode)
First of all, the author needs to consider every word, every word must be self-explanatory, and every sentence must be logically logical and connect the past and the future.
To treat knowledge, learn knowledge, and output knowledge in the writing mode, we have to repeatedly think about the important knowledge points and refine the language, and only then can we successfully implement the learning method of teaching instead of learning and teaching to promote learning.
Secondly, writing also requires the author to have an in-depth understanding of the content, especially the difficulty of mastering knowledge.
It doesn’t matter what you know. If you can understand it to anyone, it means you have truly learned this knowledge point.
Use "output" to force "input"
The "memory principle" of output
First, memorization - coding
That is, accurately identify information, record information, and select what should be memorized.
Second, keep - store
How does knowledge form memory? (It is connections) New synaptic connections are increasing more frequently than in the past. The more connections, the stronger the memory, and the longer the knowledge will be maintained and stored in the brain.
Third, reproduction - retrieval
From one-way input to synchronous output and input
Fourth, memory-consolidation
Scenario and thought simulation
Mock narrator scene
When introducing a piece of knowledge to others that is important and urgent to understand, be sure to gain their approval. (e.g., speech)
Interviewee scenario
Answer questions and express opinions on a topic/knowledge. (e.g. interview)
Teacher's thinking
Simulate the thinking of a teacher or other imparter to explain your knowledge. (e.g. giving a lecture)
Skeptic thinking
Simulate the way doubters/deniers/questioners think, think about what questions they will ask, and then answer them one by one. (e.g. debate)
The output is active learning
Successful people often establish the habit of active learning and have a strong desire to express and output knowledge.
People who actively learn will surpass passive learners by at least two social classes in 10 years
second retelling
i.e. "group discussion"
The first retelling is to treat yourself as a listener. The second retelling is to enter a real scene of imparting knowledge and explain your views on a certain piece of knowledge to others or even multiple people.
When retelling, you must be close to your own interests and focus on your own hobbies:
What's the part I'm most interested in? (personal goals)
What is my best way to tell? (personal advantage)
What knowledge point do I most want to share with the other party? (Contact with the outside world)
Take advantage of group discussion opportunities, such as discussing a book you are reading or just finished with friends at a weekend gathering
First, take the initiative to speak in the group, express what you have learned, and even argue with each other
Second, design a retelling outline and prepare some questions
Regarding the outline of the outline and a series of questions, explain it to others in a clear and logical manner, triggering people's discussion, and then everyone speaks and asks each other questions, so as to further understand what they have learned and correct their misconceptions.
Third, get relevant comments and objections from your listeners
Trigger further breakthrough thinking:
a. Why do they oppose my opinion? Is it because of my way of telling it or the point of view of knowledge itself?
b. What reasons are they basing their evaluation on, and are those reasons tenable?
c. In order to verify the contradiction between their views and mine, how do I need to review relevant knowledge?
Infuse your soul with knowledge
First, use your own language to express knowledge
Second, explain your views on knowledge based on reality
Third, express your personal analysis and opinions
Output principle
The purpose of “applying what you learn”
study hard
Franklin 🌰:
First, cut out the newspaper article, read it once and then copy it onto loose paper.
Then, put the original text aside, shuffle the order of the notes, and rearrange them
By practicing repeatedly, you will understand these articles and know how to create good works.
Finally, I wrote the article I read silently on the white paper and added my own words involuntarily.
Five principles:
1. Scenario and thinking simulation
2. The language is easy to understand
3. Simplicity and depth at the same time
4. Strengthen understanding of key knowledge
5. Use breakout groups to get feedback
The purpose of learning is to have an outlet for your knowledge to be used in real life, and to systematically master knowledge and skills, you must export them and use them.
4. Review and reflect on the knowledge learned
Keywords: review
I encountered a problem/trouble when exporting, what is the solution?
First, recheck the knowledge base
That is, all information about this theory, including arguments, arguments, argumentation logic, and other information.
Second, re-verify the association of knowledge
First of all, I force myself to think and explore whether there is any problem with this theory or knowledge itself. Do I really understand it myself?
After comparison and verification, "the knowledge is correct", and we have once again strengthened our understanding of knowledge.
"Incorrect knowledge", reflect on which information in the original knowledge has problems, and why didn't you realize this when you studied it for the first time?
First, is it the lack of one’s own knowledge that leads to deviations in understanding?
Second, is there a problem with the viewpoint and logic of the original knowledge?
strategy for correction
Maintain a restless curiosity/doubt all conclusions
Gap found:
a. Unique knowledge points, including data not found in other books, facts not discussed and unique viewpoints
b. Knowledge points that can trigger my in-depth thinking and arguments that supplement my blind spots in knowledge.
Return to the essence of knowledge
Knowledge is our understanding of the world and the ability to transform it
Looking for counter-evidence
That is: purposeful reflection. Reflection is to deconstruct the quality of learning and ensure that what you have learned is correct knowledge.
1. After reading a book or learning a skill, don’t rush to practice and apply it. First, review the knowledge you have learned from the beginning for comparison and verification, or look for contrary evidence to see if you can overturn the knowledge. Once you find discrepancies with facts, you can use this as a breakthrough to deepen your understanding of correct knowledge.
2. While practicing hard every day, consider whether these methods are effective in practice, compare new requirements with your own behavior every day, and gradually improve and grow.
Pay attention to negative evidence
a. Opposite data
b. Logical loopholes
c. Outdated knowledge
d. Contrary authoritative views
Avoid bias towards knowledge when learning
When knowledge gets stuck: Go back to areas where you don’t understand clearly and find out the weak links
a. Incorrect memory
Brush up on knowledge
b. Wrong understanding
Key points to understand
The principle of learning knowledge: combine knowledge with reality so that it can be used for oneself and solve current problems.
Controversy is the entry point for in-depth learning
Avoid controversies upwards, "shallow learning" mode
Resolving disputes downward, "deep learning model"
A concise and direct exchange of views
The best learning is when we can find new problems from a problem. What you don’t like, appreciate, or recognize is the jewel in the crown of knowledge.
Establish multi-angle analogy relationships with existing knowledge
First, from a scientific perspective
a. Logical eyes, correct data, and reasonable opinions
b. Withstand the most rigorous questioning in comparison with other information and knowledge
Second, from a practical perspective
Third, the system perspective
“Content retention rate” determines learning effectiveness
Definition: a. The proportion of knowledge remembered, that is: how much knowledge can be converted into long-term memory; b. The proportion of knowledge truly understood, that is: how much content can be mastered substantively
The proportion is not less than 90%
Methods to improve learning efficiency:
First: clarify the direction of learning
career direction
Learning Content
knowledge attribute
That is, to solve the problem of what to learn
Second: to what extent you have learned
know and understand
Retell and convey
Practice and innovation
Third: Improve content retention rate
Review and re-learn
Organize and simplify
Systematize
Repeat "useful learning"
Divide knowledge into three categories:
First, focus on learning knowledge that has the ability to grow (knowledge that is decisive for life and career)
Second, targeted learning of modular knowledge (instrumental knowledge)
Third, resolutely refuse to learn fragmented knowledge (short video/magazine)
Pay attention to what’s behind the knowledge?
That is: having "principle thinking", when reviewing knowledge, thinking about its principles and understanding the structure and pillars behind it will play a great role in improving the knowledge retention rate.
First, the principles of knowledge are more valuable to us than the knowledge itself
Second, exploring the things behind knowledge is also a very important thinking training process.
Third, it can simplify the knowledge system, make learning simple and direct, and save valuable time.
Fourth, mastering the principles of knowledge can help us establish a basic concept of the field we study
Review Principles
Step One: Doubt and Explore
Step 2: Find and disprove evidence
Step Three: Increase “Content Retention Rate”
5. Simplify absorption and form your own system
Keywords: simplify
Simplify absorption
What is simplification?
First, break down the knowledge and find out the necessary and core things.
Secondly, organize and organize the remaining knowledge into a whole
How to simplify the key points of knowledge?
First, the principle of importance of knowledge is to prioritize it and arrange it in order to absorb important knowledge.
Second, find the core logic of knowledge and summarize and refine key points from the knowledge.
How do we absorb the parts we need?
That is, "knowledge absorptive capacity"
First, gain knowledge.
Establish the direction of learning, formulate a learning plan, and fully understand and judge which knowledge is critical to you.
Second, simplify knowledge.
Refining the skeleton and key points of knowledge and condensing the essence of knowledge.
Third, absorb knowledge.
Store the core knowledge in your brain for a long time as a long-term memory, truly understand it, and explain it to others with ease.
Fourth, transform knowledge.
Effectively combine externally learned knowledge with existing knowledge to transform new knowledge into part of one's own knowledge system.
Fifth, innovative knowledge.
Through effective learning, create new knowledge based on existing knowledge, or even surpass the original knowledge.
How to simplify knowledge in online learning?
1. Learn knowledge with an active and exploratory attitude
2. Focus on self-needs and seek knowledge in a planned way
3. The purpose of learning is to improve problem-solving abilities
4. Network sharing and discussion are the main features when exporting knowledge.
5. When simplifying knowledge, practical application is the main form of expression.
Vertical expansion and refinement
First, vertical expansion. Focus on breakthroughs in one or two knowledge points and conduct in-depth research in order to draw inferences from one instance.
🌰: Vertically expand and simplify the study of the history of the Tang Dynasty: starting from "The influence of the Guanlong Group on the establishment of the Tang Dynasty", focusing on the relationship between the Li family and the Guanlong Group, the influence of the Guanlong Group on the political situation in the early Tang Dynasty, etc.
Second, learning requires “green light thinking.”
When you encounter new viewpoints or different opinions while studying, you must listen patiently, know how to self-reflect, and learn valuable information from them.
Third, learning should be done "slowly".
That is, focus on a learning object, learn it well and master it, and only with a deep understanding of its core knowledge can we use it 100% and transform it into our own skills.
Fourth, improvement requires being able to connect.
That is, we should give up examining the details, strengthen research on the essence of the problem and key areas, and improve our knowledge horizons and cognitive depth through training.
First, focus on studying the nature of the problem.
Second, lots of ongoing contact.
🌰: 1. Spend half a month copying down thousands of questions from dozens of mathematics monographs.
2. Spend a month sorting these issues into dozens of PPTs.
3. Study it over and over 5 times or more
4. Tell your own experiences to classmates/colleagues who are excellent in mathematics and ask them for their opinions until you can explain these mathematical problems easily and freely.
5. Simplify this knowledge and extract the parts that are most important to the job.
6. Continuous practice and review
Third, start with what interests you.
Dig deeply to internalize knowledge
What does it mean to form your own knowledge system?
1⃣️Absorb fragmented, relatively independent knowledge and concepts and transform them into your own things 2⃣️Give them logic, and 3⃣️Use this knowledge effectively.
Feynman’s five pieces of advice:
First, use notes to record the core points of knowledge
Second, we must greatly organize the knowledge we have learned
Third, conduct structured induction and understanding of knowledge
Fourth, output and publish the knowledge you understand
Fifth, simplify, absorb and memorize knowledge
third retelling
Create original ideas
Generate impactful new knowledge
The purpose is to test our ability to create knowledge and form our own influence in this area
principle of simplification
Principle 1: Systematically dig into the knowledge you have learned
Knowledge for “needs”
Targeting “important” knowledge
Targeting “core” knowledge
Principle 2: Form your own knowledge system
become an expert in a field
Focused and targeted
Build your own knowledge system
The purpose of learning is to output
1. The brain loves relevant knowledge
2. Establish forced connections between different concepts
postscript
Always remember the rules of learning
active learning
systematic learning
introverted learning
professional learning
Feynman warned
do not give up. Understand the key points when encountering problems, and summarize and elaborate them in concise language. Try it several times until you understand it well enough and can explain this part in a simple way.
