I tried something called Blurting, it sounds strange, but it works.
After reading a chapter, I shut my notes and just blurted out everything I could remember onto paper. It looked messy, but when I checked back, I immediately saw where my blind spots were.
It’s kind of brutal, but honestly? Way better than thinking “yeah, I know this” while rereading.
I’m collecting these kinds of evidence-backed hacks into a free guide. Let me know if you want me to share it here.
