What You’ll Get:
1. The 5-Minute Active Recall Test Before your next tutorial, try this simple test to see how much you’re actually retaining vs. just recognizing.
2. The Pause-Recall Method (Step-by-Step) The exact technique I use: Every 2-3 minutes, pause, close, and recall out loud. Detailed walkthrough included.
3. The “Bedtime Question” Framework Turn any learning session into a retention session by asking yourself: “Could I explain this to a 5-year-old?”
4. Active Recall for Busy Parents How to use commute time, waiting rooms, and those 5 minutes before the kids wake up for recall practice.
5. The Compound Learning Tracker Simple one-page tracker to see how your learning connects week to week—just like my Week 7 → Week 8 → Week 10 progression.
Bonus: The “Feel Stupid” Reframe That struggle when you can’t remember something? It’s not failure. It’s the feeling of learning actually happening. Here’s how to embrace it.
FACEBOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
My 5-year-old broke me this week.
Not on purpose. But completely.
Every night at bedtime, I ask him the same question: “What did you learn today?”
He tells me about dinosaurs. Letters. Why his friend got in trouble.
But Week 10, he flipped it on me.
“Daddy, what did YOU learn today?”
I’d just spent 4 hours watching Midjourney tutorials. 17 browser tabs. 2 pages of notes.
And I couldn’t tell him a single thing.
Nothing. Zero. Four hours gone.
That’s when I realized something uncomfortable: I’ve been “learning” wrong my entire life. Decades of reading, highlighting, note-taking… and barely remembering any of it.
Turns out there’s a simple fix. It’s called Active Recall. People who use it remember 50% more than people who just re-read their notes.
Same time investment. Totally different results.
And here’s the kicker: My 5-year-old already does it naturally. When he learns something at school, he comes home and explains it to us. For 45 minutes. Whether we want to hear it or not.
That’s Active Recall. Kids do it instinctively. We get it trained out of us.
Week 9, he stopped me from quitting with “I want to be a YouTuber just like you.”
Week 10, he taught me how to learn—by asking me my own question.
Same kid. Same bedtime. Different lesson.
New video shows you exactly how I use Active Recall now, and how it connects to everything I’ve built in the last 10 weeks.
