Recall Before You Reopen Your Notes

Before rereading a lesson, close the notes and write what you can recall about one specific idea. Add one question you’re unsure about. Then reopen the source and mark what you’d revise.

This isn’t a test of your worth—or even a verdict on whether you’ve learned the topic. It’s a way to find the next useful step: clarify a gap, check a shaky claim, or move on to practice.

Try it with one lesson today. Tomorrow, see whether you can explain the idea again without looking. If the explanation changes, that’s useful evidence about what to review next.
