The Feynman Technique Model to learn better

The Feynman Technique is a  Mental Model  named after  Richard Feynman , a Nobel Prize Winning Physicist. It is designed as a technique to help you learn pretty much learn anything - so understand concepts you don't really get, remember stuff you have already learnt, or study more efficiently. The Feynman Technique was actually a big inspiration for this blog - I try and apply this to a lot of the concepts and Mental Models that I write about. The technique can be broken down into four easy steps, but first a quick video from  Scott Young  that sums it up very simply. Learn Faster with the Feynman Technique  So now for a recap of the steps: Step 1 Write the name of the concept at the top of a blank piece of paper. Step 2 Write down an explanation of the concept on the page. Use plain English. Pretend you are teaching it to someone else (e.g a new student).

What is procrastination and get rid if that?

I will become an IAS officer. For that, I need the best books available in the market. I need to be enrolled in the best training institute. I need the advice of a few successful candidates. I need a separate room in my house. It must have a comfortable study table and an Airconditioner. I must have the fastest wi-fi and the best laptop to study. I must take a week's break and enjoy the fullest before I start my preparations. It's too late now I will plan for the “holiday” tomorrow. In the meanwhile, a poor auto driver's daughter was studying under street lamp from torn second-hand books at 3 am in the morning. Procrastination starts from- Putting conditions on a particular task. From the lack of urgency and non-compulsive nature of an activity.
