Have been binge watching your study techniques and I was exactly at the burn out stage before I started applying your ideas of pre study, big picture thinking and mind mapping. I've only just started to do it but i am suddenly seeing literally my entire study material in a different light. I'm someone who actual draws patterns and connections on my own and really enjoy curious researching into random concepts and I realise that i was doing the exact opposite of this with my academic content. Just passively absorbing the information from my linear notes , and all the hard work i could possibly do in this inefficient way just made me start to feel like a failure. Now I'm feeling like I can tune into how my brain actually will study on its own and use that for my academic purposes. Something that really hit me is whenyou said learning happens in the brain and not out in notes or paper.This is still the beginning but thank you so much for enlightening us 🙌🙌 , I have a big exam coming up and I really hope I can do my best in the right way 😊

I just started medschool and noticed I already do some of these things right, but still have way to go. this feels like a youtube gem.

Been watching your vids from both your KZread channels and I’ve been really enlightened about efficient studying and higher order learning. I enjoy the extra length in your vids with how you explain the little details here and there. It makes the topic much easier to absorb and relate to. This is one of my most favorite vids from you and I hope you continue to help and educate us more. More power to you, man

You just spent 15 minutes to say “dont work hard, work smart” , i agree, but how? That’s the real question.

He has other videos of studyng techniques. I recomend you the video named "5 things every succesful student" or something like that xd.its in another channel tho

You just described how I’m feeling right now and what’s happening to me now in NP school. It’s almost like I’m trying to beat the odds or something with procrastination.

This whole video can be summarised into "don't work hard but work smart"

Thank you Dr, I have been investigating study methods. Recently I decided to take the Google Project Management course, but using mind maps and very low literal notes. Probably from the whole course I have like 4 notes, my mind maps still require more technic but my retention is incredible, beyond my spectation. Still have to work on some areas, like for me as engineer is harder to find relations with things like soft skills, but proceses are extremely easy for me to find relations. By the way there is poem from the Mexican poetist Ruben Bonifaz Nuño called Que fácil sería, that also make the relation between a fly constantly crashing in the window and the human psyche.

You deserve lots subscribers and views , youtube algo sucks.

Another informative vlog Justin!

interesting how you describe that cycle - sounds abit what huberman says about procrastination - he says when you do stuff for whatever reason you get a neurotransmitter high, but this wears off and becomes somewhat negative to baseline - so you procrastinate and wait until it returns to baseline zero and you feel recharged - or to speed the process up, you could force yourself todo something that sucks (in his example he says it has to be unrelated to the original task) - then your body would produce more neurotransmitters to decrease the difference - so if you stop that task - you should have more neurotransmitters compared to when you were procrastinating and feel more motivated again. (but from your example i see how it can become a negative spiral too)

This video describes my situation perfectly rn...

12:46 that's what I needed to hear I discovered your channel early and I didn't care really it only hit me at around the end of the year exam when I really lost all motivation to study and rediscovered your channel. I saw the video about the .1% of students (Archer Newton and Derick) who study 5 hrs a week and get top marks and I thought I could be like them in a day and that hard work is useless but now the bigger picture here is that hard work is the important PART of the equation but it's not all and vice versa.

me too, thats also what happened to me.

I agree with what ever you said.. I totally agree

I like your videos in general, but this one was really a time-waster. 22 min and the only take-away is not to study hard, study smart and if your "study smart" strategy is correct, don't think twice. Did not see a proper storyline in this video of yours, the story did not fit in well to deliver on what the title of this video mentioned. The loose connection that you drew between studying hard implying to bad form of note-making wasn't good enough. Don't get me wrong, lot of great ideas being highlighted in this video, but net take-away was hardly anything my friend. Have great expectations from you, keep up the good work otherwise. Cheers mate!

What device and pen do you use? I’m thinking of upgrading my study setup. Thank you

Thanks a lot . Your video was really helpful

Theory is interesting, it would be sweet to see a practical example. (As in fully expanded out on an example topic) e.g photosynthesis

Seems like lots of viewers get the wrong idea. Yeah yeah, work hard is th key of success. However, we often forget one thing: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? and the answer may shock you but if you lack of sleep, can't attend some events or outdoor activities, you feel like you don't have time to do all the stuff and sleep at 11pm and wake up at 4am is a common strategy, then you are working too much. You may surprise to know that most of success students often wake up early not because they work up early to work or study but because they have so many free time to do what they want so they feel energetic and wake up early. You may think those genius are lazy because they don't seem to study much but sti score high marks. Then you are right: genius are lazy, why? Because they can lazy, and they enjoy their life happily when people who don't understand judge that working hard ia everything and then a bunch of time management occurs. There is no point of working hard when you work wrongly or on the wrong thins.

12:50🌟 very important you' ve to work hard 13:24 conformity bias 14:32

20:14 I lost you there at willpower enhanced. How does the rest of the video make you spend less willpower? Is that a thing for non-adhd people?

It’s a realistic scenario bc I myself back then slept for only 1 (one) hour every night during my 3rd yr Finals period. I’d catch some sleep here and there during class breaks and lunch hours at the library and I wasn’t even aware I was only getting 1 hr of sleep when you’re so immersed and desperate to secure your grades.

Pick the learning style which suits you best try different ones if transcribing the lecture us best for you your unusual but use it.

If you add timestamp to the video,it would be really helpful

you could make this 20 min presentation a 10 min presentation and get more views I think. thank you.

Hello tell me are you a christian ? Thank you for your videos, I watched it from Mayotte near Madagascar. God bless you !

Call me cynical, but it seems like you're just saying "you're doing it wrong" for 20 mins., slightly hint at a better method at the end, then do it again for another video, which creates more content than simply stating step-by-step the most effective and most efficient method to learn specific to a subject, with maybe an update every 6 months. Idk maybe it's my asperger-y approach to learning things of "that's a nice story, but what's the correct reading material, exercises, and testing procedures I need to do for how many hours, in what order, exactly at what time, how to intersperse it, and for how many rounds?"

@grilla4464

I think these videos are just meant to be broad introductory content to the concepts which constitute his learning method. The more in depth and precise information you want is likely reserved for his courses. The content is more valuable than you suggest though. It may not be as intricate and precise as what may be preferable but it does provide enough information for us to investigate it by ourselves.

tbh at this point I just watch Justin as a background noice because i really like his calm voice and how he explains things. I think u can get all the info needed to study by watching 5 videos about Active Recall+Spaced Rep, how cognitive functions works, how to create better links in your mind. how to create mindmaps; and after that theres not much to learn

He did. It's just that knowing better techniques make things easy. Easy as in, you still have to study for 8 to 10 hours, but it isn't as mentally exhausting because maybe you used priming and active recall, maybe order control. Because, 10 hours of studying doesn't feel like 10 tedious hours when you are in an optimum state of focus, infact it is actually really motivating. And if you're someone who has above average intelligence, studying techniques that are more stimulating lead to insane conceptual clarity and problem solving skills.

Dr Ali Abdaal gives better instructions generously without convoluting advice???

Informative but all your videos could literally follow your own advice. You could summarize the same thing into 5-10 minutes.

I've got a great question: Could you have made it through medical school studying only 4 hours a day or less? I would say absolutely not. If it could be done everyone would be a doctor. Here's another question: how long would it take to go from arithmetic to calculus? That should take you actually less time because math is literal and unambiguous compared to literature. You couldn't even learn your timetables in only 4 hours of studying. Pure repetition over maybe a weekend and a child can do it. Teach me all of mathematics in week or hell, even a month and the world 🌎 would beat a path to your door.

@aryansrivastava727

I am studying maths and i will say it is a mix of both learning and complexity questions which makes it unique and yeah you cannot learn it in 4 hours but you can minimize that time by studying it daily for 2-3 hours with intense work(deep work)

@novusstudios1744

Жыл бұрын

Well medicine is a special case obviously. For most other subjects this could work out. Also no you can't realistically say that if it took 4 hours then everyone could do it. There are alot of variables to take into place such as how they are studying, whether they're focused or not, whether they focused in the lectures prior and so much other stuff. Heck, the reason it would take four hours for the timetable is cause you don't learn a timetable, you memorise it. Once I understand how 2 x 6 = 12 I've learnt multiplication. I memorise the timetables so I can remember those answers without having to think too hard about it but easily recall it from memory.

12:29 Conformity bias : Doing only confortable things as everybody around u is doing. Don't look for only success stories of that teachniques, look for failure stories too. How many did fail with that techniques even by applying if correctly 17:10 people doing wrong teachniques can also succeed...!!! Say 1% people...so don't copy that bcz he got succedd...!! Bcz most people.don't by that process... Try the technique with high chances of success bcz most probably that will work for u (i u r not that 0.01% people whoem it doesn't suits) 18:24 bcz u r maximising the probability of succeeding at each step ....bcz ur being the best is of 50/100 steps...!!
