• Watch the video

• At the end of the video, write down everything you can recall

• Rewatch and at the end of the video, add to your notes in a different colour (you could redo this again at regular intervals)

• Rewatch again with your finger on the pause button. Write 5-10 simple questions to answer one week later (and at further regular intervals)
