    Hi Zain. I think that u are awesome. I am a senior doctor who has been studying for the American board of internal medicine. I simply use ai perplexity by downloading either self made mind maps or lecture notes or excerpts from books. This app markedly decreases cognitive load. I use prompts and ask for summaries or generate flash cards or generate terms or diagrams or generate clinical scenarios. After doing all this my retention is great(active recall). I then publish this thread into notability or iBooks or kindle pdf. Final manifestation of Notes are a book like presentation. No more taking voluminous notes. No more anxiety

    Bruh followed your mindmap technique to break down the content in the way I'd most likely wanna try to understand the text,the one where we pickout keywords randomly and try to relate one to another , The result : failed my General Anatomy class test , PS I wouldn't go to the extent of blaming you, (huge respect to your content btw !) But I see this as a testament of being very cautious in experimenting with study skills It'd be great if you could let me know where I could refer to get my basics on learning how to learn right

    Im sorry to hear your test didnt go well man but mindmapping is only the first step to the process before u study your usual way. Just allows the rest of ur studying to be more fluid and deeper ie doesnt act as a replacement study technique. So we'd still have to do the usual flashcards or questions for anatomy for example. Hope that helped let me know, we're all a team here just trynna improve and be better at the end of the day.

    Sending you virtual hugs. It's sad that you failed your test but don't let it keep you down. That was just a bump in the entire beautiful journey to come. For me, mind maps can't replace my actual notes. I use them to introduce myself to any topic I'm learning, and to do quick final revisions of those topics. Between these two points, I still have my notes and active recall questions. I know most Ytubers say linear notes are terrible. If they work, don't remove them completely. Just learn how to incorporate them more effectively. I also take tests by solving questions from the textbook or past papers. Mindmaps are just one element, and you need to figure out how to make them work for you.

    Key Insights • The importance of mapping out the entire topic to create a foundational understanding. • Utilizing visualization and creating memorable stories to aid in retaining complex information. • Retrieval of information through spaced recall sessions for long-term retention. Effective Memorization Techniques for Studying Non-Fiction Books Associating the Information The video emphasizes the importance of mapping out the entire topic to establish a strong foundational understanding. By simplifying concepts and creating basic mental models, the mind can better retain information. This step aids in connecting new information with existing knowledge, making it easier to recall and retain. The process also involves associating new information with prior knowledge to create connections and promote retention. Practical techniques for creating relevance, such as mapping the entire topic and categorizing subtopics, are discussed. Utilizing Visualization Techniques The video delves into the process of creating memorable stories and visual markers for complex information. By replacing words with visual images and crafting elaborate stories, the brain can more effectively retain and recall the information. The narrator emphasizes the power of visualization in ingraining knowledge. The video also introduces the concept of memory palaces as a method for storing visual stories and organizing complex information. Recalling the Information The video emphasizes the importance of testing and recalling information through practice questions and spaced repetition. By retracing the visual stories stored in memory palaces, the brain can effectively recall complex information. The video provides insights into the timing and frequency of recall sessions for different types of information, emphasizing the benefits of strategically planning recall sessions for optimal retention.
