How to Recall From Memory

Teachers think that the more clear and simple we can make new knowledge, the better it'll be learned and remembered. But when you have to struggle with it a little bit, if you hear a lecture that's very clear, but it goes in a different sequence than the text you read, this way of engaging with the material enables you to get it to stick. The central biggest idea that I took away from writing this book is that anything you want to have stick, you'd need to periodically recall from memory.
