I’m a med student and I can share what has worked for me and using his method since forever. I developed it by centering my mind to walk into the direction I want it to go. Let’s say you’re driving in a highway and you see a hole. Do you pass through it? The next time you take that same route, you’ll definitely will remember the hole is there. The mind remembers more what hurts and causes challenges than the easy things that just pass by. I bet you didn’t remember if it was a white car next to you when you avoided the hole. The spikes in adrenaline deplete more quickly your glucose, and guess who loves glucose, your brain. Play games with you mind, just if it likes it. Answer complex and compound problems with multiple choices. Why is the best option and not the other? Are results better or just faster? If I need a quick diagnose, I rather chose the faster. But if I have time to work and provide a better outcome, should I seek for better or a faster result? I train in the gym almost every day and I always say something to my gym partner: Today we’ll do this exercise for three more sets just because we hate it. We hate it because if involves a lot of energy and maybe we can’t even finish our entire workout, but the results never fail be achieved in the least amount of time and with better results. We study and train hard, and we always have time for ourselves. Sleeping at the same time everyday is KING. Avoid having everything you use all the time in your room until you master the art of sleep. Just bring your phone and charge it facedown in the furthest corner. Use do not disturb modes when necessary. Avoid distractions that won’t guide you towards your current goal. Eat well, junk food is harder to digest, and this consumes more energy as well without rewarding you for the amount spent. Have your room clean and organized. Make it smell like your favorite flowers or whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you have a hard challenge, be your best version. I always have a haircut the day before my tests, wear my favorite socks,my favorite shoes, my favorite breakfast, my favorite coffee, my favorite perfume, my favorite watch, my favorite EVERYTHING. Nothin worse that not being comfortable with yourself while trying to learn something. Design your own game. Be your own fuel. I can type like 3000 more words, but I hope you read this and helps you understand your engine.

Higher Order Learning: - integrate learned information with what you already know - connect learned ideas together, connect them to bigger picture/purpose - compare pieces of information. How to do Higher Order Learning: - Recognize when you are doing lower-order learning (ask yourself, "will I forget this later?" Try keeping a tally of how many times you drift into lower-order learning during a study session.) - Categorize ideas based on their important relationships. (Use mind maps for notetaking). Students that use his method are shown to acheive a level of learning in 1-2 weeks that would otherwise have taken them 4 weeks. This method will take more effort, and you will cover the material at a slower pace. Do not let this convince you to give up.

Best comment haha
Justin has gotten a lot of backlash online. For teaching too many high school students or not giving enough practical insight in his KZread videos. I followed his KZread channel for a year, trying everything he mentioned in the videos. Then about 4 months ago I decided to bite the bullet on his course since there’s a month refund policy. It was 100% worth it and life changing. For reference, I’m in my 20s and have graduated with my undergraduate degree and am using his tools in Dental School. He goes beyond just studying but into truly learning - whether it’s in school or general life. He teaches growth ideas that have made a far bigger difference than anything I’ve seen on KZread. Actionable and theoretical tools for mindsets, skill development, learning processes… He’s not perfect and the course isn’t perfect but I feel like there aren’t enough people mentioning just how life changing his material (on KZread or the course) can be if you’re willing to put in a small amount of effort to actually learn it. It extends into your life beyond just making your school life better but better enabling you to build any skill you want to and to actually achieve your goals. Thanks for the listen.

Up to now, study was my metaphor for learning. But this video made me realise that learning is more effective than only studying.😊
Based on what @Isabelle Grimesey wrote here 2 months ago: Studying Vs. Learning Higher Order Learning (HOL, also can be called Higher Level Learning) Vs. Lower Order Learning (LOL) Taking Smart Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learning is more complex, more profound, deeper, Than Studying. Higher Order Learning: - integrate learned information with what you already know - connect learned ideas together, connect them to bigger picture/purpose - compare pieces of information. Better for retention. Creating NETWORKS OF KNOWLEDGE. The more you learn, the knowledge becomes connected and you can use it better. Lower Order Learning - no connection between subjects, learning definitions. Very tedious and boring. How to do Higher Order Learning: - Recognize when you are doing lower-order learning (ask yourself, "will I forget this later?" Try keeping a tally of how many times you drift into lower-order learning during a study session.) - Categorize ideas based on their important relationships. (Use mind maps for notetaking). Students who use this method are shown to achieve a level of learning in 1-2 weeks that would otherwise have taken them 4 weeks. STEP 1 - Learning how the "engine" works Learn the basics, the fundamentals of the subject. Make sure you know that on a good enough level to later use that to grow and use that for the more complex subjects. STEP 2 - Group information together Find relationships and group them together + think deeper, prioritize the relationship, and decide which groups of information is important to group and which isn't. It's not always the same as the information that the lecturer is connecting together. It will take more mental effort, but that's exactly what is HOL. STEP 3 - Leverage your notes. Make your notes meaningful. Good notes should help us think, not help us not to think about the subject. Linear note taking - isn't good. Sequentially writing notes doesn't work. Non-Linear note taking - For example Mind mapping (More difficult while in a Live lecture, easier with recorder lecture or with a book or an article) This method will take more effort, and you will cover the material at a slower pace. Do not let this convince you to give up. Misinterpreted Effort Hypothesis - Thinking that if something takes too much effort, it also means it is not effective enough, so we stop doing that. But when it comes to learning - More effort is better according to research. Is covering the material FASTER is what we want? That's just Studying. Studying and forgetting. That's a lower order learning, and Lower order Thinking. Don't study more, study smart - Learn.

Thank You Justin, if I may conclude my understating from what you said, it will be, it is to "process the information"
More effective and resourceful session for creating my focus path
Thank you sir ❤️❤️ this topic helped me a lot:
Brain remember hurtful things better => test yourself and feel free to make mistakes => connect with other things, subjects. Higher order learning = active learning: thinking back and forth. Steps by steps for higher order thinking: 1. Understand your engine: count times you zone out during studying, which is when you find those information irrelevant. Try to reduce those times by connecting more and more info. 2. Group info: Find and compare info to form groups -> decide which one is more important. 3. Good note taking makes you to think. Note: start with books for more times to think.

Well Justin may just have revolutionised the educational system for me he is due a Nobel, his view on how learning should be could n definitely will increase everyone's ability to practical problem solve and result in numerous inventions n discoveries due to a better understanding of the relationships of things n the importance of these relationships , hey i don't nominate pple for Nobel's but from me your discovery has n will continue improving our lives forever

I think I got the way to learn faster ❤❤❤.thank you sir so much
I literally ran when I saw Justin, I love him, very insighful
This is such an amazing talk, he talked about how important is to learn and not to study hard, our brains are created in such a way, that if we consider an information not valid (not worth knowing) enough we tend to forget immediately and we waste too much time restudying it. The three key steps to learning (not studying) is LGL Learning how the engine works (building the radar) Gathering information together Leverage note taking. Learning the how the engine works: the two major techniques from his teachings are higher order technique and lower order technique, the lower order is technique is when you learn things in isolation, learning things that you are not familiar with ( i.e something you have no idea of and you are just inserting it in a sense in your brain) which is mentioned most people do and very not efficient at all, while the higher order technique is when you learn at ease and tried connecting it with the past things you learnt before and thinking about it to understand deeply and create greater connections with it. Gathering information together as I mentioned earlier is thinking about it and learning it through the process. On leverage note taking he mentioned some people learn in different ways not by the way authors write it or teacher teach it, he mentioned if you are not trying to think about it and you are just dumping it in your notebooks then you are not learning at all, which has really affected our learning process a lot we depend on notes to keep vital info rather than our active brain to keep for us. Thank you justin!!!!, you are such a blessing!
Thinking about thinking = Metacognition Common Methods = Common Results HOTS : Higher Order Learning information is Integrated not Isolated lower Learning : Isolated --- > Memorizing, fact , information High Order Learning S : Relevant sehingga Retained (dipertahankan) Lower Order Learning S : Irrelevant ----- > Forget Tidak ada Penelitaian yang memastikan/bersepakat bagaimana definisi, proses dan kriteria HOLS Steps : 8:10 1. Learn How the Engine Works a. Feeling HOLS vs LOLS apakah kamu pernah merasa bahwa kamu akan lama menghafal suatu infomasi ? karena otak mu merasa Informasi itu irelevant 2. Group Information Together mengelompokan information ini untuk mengikat dalam kerelevan an/ keterhubungan dengan diri kita. memprioritaskan, menghubungkan , kepentingan dalam informasi tersebut tujuan apa yang diberikan / dihasilkan dari informasi tersebut ? tentukan mana group yang paling penting untuk kita ? Tahapan tersebut merupakan Mental Effort yang penting untuk dilakukan 3. Leverage your Note Taking good note taking help brain think not avoid think Knowledge is note linear - Write seperti yang kamu inginkan Non Linear Note Taking - Mind Map - Diagram Gambar Menggambar dan menulis catatan HLOS sangat Custom sehingga pemilihan gambar, ketebalan garis, warna garis setiap bagian catatan sangat penting.

Studying is not the same as learning. To truly learn, we need to understand and integrate knowledge, not just memorize facts. Many students struggle with studying effectively, leading to anxiety and inconsistent results. By improving metacognition (thinking about thinking), we can gain more control over our learning process. Higher order thinking skills, which involve connecting information and seeing the bigger picture, can greatly enhance learning. Linear note-taking should be replaced with non-linear methods that allow for the formation of groups and relationships. These strategies require more effort but lead to more efficient learning and better retention. It is important to prioritize learning over studying and to understand that higher order learning is more time-efficient in the long run. Don't just study more; learn smarter.
And no pressure, it should be fun
Interesting way of looking at things. Very Impactful and different Can be considered Revolutionary?
Surely if / when you do higher order learning jtnis faster as your grouping the minutia you would normally process individually, plus writing lectures out word for word while going through what you heard and the pictures that triggered is higher order learning it's just time consuming checking you typing afterword.
Higher order learning connects information.
Killin it 🔥🔥🔥

Don't study more but rather learn more. Some of the most strategic form of learning take effort. It is a skill than can come naturally or can be trained of. The more we know about the concept, the easier it is to learn on that concept. Learn the concept of learning. Experiment what strategy are suitable for you. Balance your health and learning. Be efficient.
Nice intro art by the way. We really need to make it customary to have the artist's name on it. Intro art showing: wave, colors, man-women-generations-danser-musician ... flowing, a better way. This is going to work.
My problem is if I am studying higher order learning all of my thinking will be about that subject or course. Which is very good. But if I have something to do I can't think about the subject I have to study low order learning. As an example if I started watching anime (any series), football or something else I can't focus on my studies. I just study for exams. So I think you should enjoy your self by studying to be successful. I did it at some point and it benefited me but now I am struggling because of spending time on other things.

This is an amazing topic. In fact, I just want to know the better way to learn a language. I'm 67 years old and I study by my own.

Do you have any hobby or particular interest? Photography, cooking, gardening, graphic novels? Well, use your target language to cultivate those interests. Read books and magazines in that language; if you're at a beginner level maybe start with children's cartoons with subtitles in your target language.
So... I heard Justin talking about this story of studying 15-20h a day a few times now, and I also heard other people talk about similar experiences. And the fact that I´m just unable to wrap my mind arround is, that one must be so tired and ineffective when doing so. Wouldn´t you have performed better if you would have slept enough? And if so... what would anybody lead to the conclusion, that not sleeping enough is a good thing? I´m honestly just curious because this way of thinking is so bizarre to me. So if anybody who has similar experiences has any kind of thoughts or answer to my question I would love to read it.
