How To Know If You REALLY Understand Something
If you really want to make sure you understand something, try explaining it to a 10-year-old. This method, called the Feynman Technique, forces your brain to simplify what you've just learned—and in the process, cements it. If you can’t break it down simply, chances are you don’t fully get it yet. Teaching is learning in disguise!
The Weird Sleep Trick That’s Backed by Psychology
Can’t sleep because your brain won’t shut up? Try the “Cognitive Shuffle.” Pick a random word like “butterfly,” then imagine objects that start with each letter—B is for balloon, U is for umbrella, and so on. Visualize each item as vividly as possible. This scrambles your thoughts just enough to bore your brain into sleep mode. It’s like giving your mind a puzzle it’s too tired to finish.

Thinking of handing in your two weeks' notice? Be ready to walk out that day. Some companies don’t wait—they’ll let you go on the spot. Before you resign, secure your pay records, benefits info, and anything else you need. And don’t bank on those last two paychecks—your exit might be swifter than expected.
