🕰️ Time-Consuming Process
It will take a lot of time and effort to explain each of the topics in detail.
The method may seem to be taking too long as compared to passive studying,
especially when it is a very wide or complicated subject that needs to be explained repeatedly.
📚 Requires Prior Knowledge
The Feynman Technique is the most effective if you have some prior knowledge of the subject.
For total novices, it might be impossible to explain the concepts that they have not yet formed any understanding of in the first place.
💭 Oversimplification Risk
Sacrificing sophistication is a necessity but sometimes it can make one miss out on crucial technical
or detailed aspects of the subject matter. Oversimplification may give an untrue impression of mastery over the difficult ideas.
😕 Not Ideal for Abstract Topics
Certain fields such as advanced mathematics or theoretical physics, are full of abstract ideas
that are very difficult to express in everyday language.
Thus, the technique may not be very effective in such areas.
🧠 Demands Active Focus
The Feynman Technique is a deep concentration and mental energy-consuming process.
It is not like passive reviewing methods that do not require much thinking;
rather, it forces you to think critically and reflect continuously, which can be mentally exhausting for long sessions.
