Memorize stuff is the worst thing, you can do. You need to understand it. A good way to do so is to articulate it in writing or talking.

There are gaps in thinking where you make leaps. Because youère kind to yourself. But you don’t know you’re making those.

But when you’re forced to write it down, or to articulate it, or talk to somebody, you have to complete those gaps and make it a logical chain.
