The Feynman Notebook Method – Study Hacks – Cal Newport
“[He] opened a fresh notebook. On the title page he wrote: NOTEBOOK OF THINGS I DON’T KNOW ABOUT. For the first but not last time he reorganized his knowledge. He worked for weeks at disassembling each branch of physics, oiling the parts, and putting them back together, looking all the while for the raw edges and inconsistencies. He tried to find the essential kernels of each subject.”
I love the idea of taking the things you believe you know deeply and deconstructing them to reveal what you don’t know so that you can go and learn it.
