Trace Back – Put away your books and start with a random fact or concept. Then relate that idea to another concept in your subject. Keep doing this tracing pattern until you’ve linked many ideas together. The Gupta Dynasty reminds you of ancient Greece which reminds you of Socrates, reminding you of Confucius…
跟蹤返回——把書放在一邊,隨機選擇一個概念或者問題,然后將它和書中另一個概念關聯起來,繼續下去直到你關聯了很多知識點。比如Gupta王朝讓你想起了古希臘的蘇格拉底,然后是孔夫子。
