Step 20: Be Your Audience and Teach Yourself

Learning from what you hear, read, and see is just the first phase. It needs
reinforcement by application. But how are you going to have reinforcement if
you have no chance, like when reviewing for a test or preparing for a speech?
That answer is simple: be your own audience and student.

You learn faster and remember things better when you recap them on your own.
Your mind records not the raw information and plan you have but the application
of those information, giving them a more complete form.

For instance, when preparing for a speech, do not just rely on your copy and
planned gestures and blocking. Instead, rehearse it like you would deliver it in
the actual event. Your mind will record not just the speech in text form but the
actual delivery.
