    I learned these strategies in 1982. Worked like a charm! I graduated with honors from University. I had always struggled before that and graduated high school with a 1.9 gpa. My sister was at university at the same time. I never crammed for tests because I followed these strategies. She would cram, was exhausted and didn’t get the higher grades I did. She could have but resisted learning a new way. My thanks to the 2 day seminar I took, it was well worth the money I spent taking the seminar.

    I came to this video DESPERATE for anything that might help me in school. I struggle mostly with lack of motivation and procrastination, and have been feeling pretty down about my ability to succeed. I recently had an awful interview with a Student Success Coach at my university that rang more like a Nike ad than a counseling session...but where she left me feeling defeated and even less motivated, you have given me not only truly useful strategies, but renewed hope in my ability to succeed in school. Thank you so much for the content you create, from all of us just trying to make it... Thank you.

    Good afternoon Uncle Matt, In my CompTia course I'm learning network + certification. I have given myself 20 days to go over material and at the same time do some practice labs. I have returned back to getting into IT doing cybersecurity. I have worked in IT before I have previously 15 years experience working for Sun Microsystem back in the day. So the technology has changed so getting my head back into to reading study guides can be challenging especially trying to retain the information that's why looking at your videos and trying your stratigies gives me hope

Then I rewatch it at normal or x1.5 (depending on how slow or fast the speaker is) Then I *REWATCH* this time with my notepad and prepared to stop and rewind. And I know how to do this thanks to your videos.

And through realizing this--thank you very much--I've decided to dedicate a specific amount of time each day for my writing, as distraction free time. The second will be to ban any multi-tasking while writing and studying. Third strategy will be to take a break. Thanks Uncle Matt.
