Last time I tried the Feynman technique I was escorted from the building for impersonating a professor.

Seriously though, back in college I used the Leitner system until I was comfortable enough with the info that I could explain it in layman's terms. Though back in the day I just called the Feynman technique the rubber duck method thanks to my brother who was in IT and actually got everyone rubber ducks one year as a gag stocking stuffer.

I use a combination of all of these and Anki-fy whatever makes sense to do so.

If you don't mind, please explain the Anki-Fy method to us.

Anki is a digital flash card app for phones, so I guess they convert whatever they're learning to the Anki format.

Thanks for the quick yet simple explanation!
