Whether it’s a form of note-taking or regular repetition or the like, what are some self-education techniques and tools you’ve developed to help yourself learn on your own?
It’s always interesting imo to read about how some folks teach themselves different stuff.
I do this when I take walk breaks. I often end up “presenting” what I’ve just learned to someone in my head, anticipating questions they might ask and trying to concisely explain the material
So much this! You really need to understand something to explain it well to someone else. So on top of other techniques I would pretend I was teaching someone else. If I couldn’t explain something to someone else, I didn’t know it yet and had to put more time into that part. If I could explain it once then I’d do it again.
