(For mastering any topic)

Step 1: Go Wide, Then Deep

• What’s the topic you're trying to learn?

  (Write the title/topic at the top of the page)

• What do I already know about this topic?

  • Bullet point everything you can recall.
  • Don’t worry about structure or grammar—just empty your brain.

• What sources can I use to go wider?

  • Books/articles/videos/podcasts.
  • Have I cross-pollinated ideas from other fields?

• What deeper questions do I want to explore?

  • What’s confusing me?
  • What don’t I understand well enough to explain simply?

Step 2: Teach It to a 5-Year-Old

• Try explaining the topic using only simple language.
  • No jargon. No acronyms.
  • Use analogies, metaphors, and real-life examples.
