=== Notes ===
In this video, I do a demonstration with a few of the components of my study system. Using this system, I was able to study for my Master's semester in about 1/6th of the normal estimated time. I was able to achieve High Distinction and my work was categorised as an exemplar.
The focus is on creating that high quality encoding which forms that stable foundation for future learning.
I demonstrate the use of "chunking" which is shown to bypass working memory capacity limitations and how this integrates with "chunkmapping", the variation of mindmapping that I teach. There are also a number of other techniques that I use, which other videos will individually focus on, but this shows an overview of how the system can come together.
The key areas of challenge for beginners doing this are:
- Insecurity at not writing so many notes
- Insecurity at not writing linear notes
- Discomfort from the chunking and encoding process (cognitive load which you may not be used to) - this discomfort can be misinterpreted as bad, whereas it can actually be the total opposite, where the normal, passive learning which was very comfortable was just a waste of time.
- Proper chunkmapping technique
- Evaluating the quality of chunks and chunk structures
- Breaking framing bias when doing syntopical reading
I will endeavour to cover each of these in other videos to come.
If you enjoyed what I had to give or found it valuable, a subscribe would be sincerely appreciated.

*For more visibility* *I may not have understood accurately* *Only to refer* I'm adding my inference of a bunch of Justin's videos(Following Christi) below for everyone's benefit. ON NOTE-TAKING: Step 1 - Reduce the number of words in notes. Break the idea of perfect sentences and focus more on perfect LEARNING. You need to be uncomfortable about the amount of time you waste on just listening to/reading lectures and not learning and retaining (which I am) So you always strive to be more efficient. Step 2 - Delay Note-Taking process - Start by writing notes for only one paragraph, then for two paragraphs, and reduce in a phased manner. So there is more time you give to(in your head): (Being capable to retain and conceptually working through the information in head) 1. Conflicting ideas - Resolving 2. Associating and Relating what you learnt 3. Digesting the concept And then putting this new understanding of yours on paper. So if you are listening/reading a lecture and at a point you are uncomfortable and think I have to put this down, just delay it a little bit more and then put it on paper. So at one point, albeit slowly, you don't write anymore. 'Just gonna read a little bit more and then I write my notes' Step 3 - Get rid of lined paper. Mind Map. Making information non-linear. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ideal Combination of Study Tools - Mind Maps(for the logical and conceptual) + Flash Cards(for random information)- Incorporate this with Spaced Repetition and make it magical. ------- HOW TO ACTIVE READ? 1. Before reading a paragraph, ask the question WHY? And WHAT AM I GETTING OUT OF THIS? - By doing this you are identifying the GAPS of knowledge to fill. 2. This may lead you to read haphazardly, because you are going to be going through only information that is required to fill the gap. 3. Once you filled the gap, you then think of the next gap of knowledge that needs to be filled and repeat the process. Have a Detective-like mindset when going through the reading. ----------------------------- What should be going on in your Mind while Learning? 1. Trying actively to SPATIALLY ARRANGE the concepts in your head. 2. Make room to see how they flow together. -------------------------------- HOW TO ATTEND A LECTURE? Step 1 - Know the topic of the lecture beforehand and Prime yourself over the information. Step -2 - Make a Skeletal Mind map of what you understood from the Priming. Step -3 (In the lecture) - I'll be testing this logic(of skeletal mind map) and add the concepts and important details, while I am APPLYING and SIMPLIFYING. *You have hold in your head what the teacher is saying while doing all of this.(cognitive threshold, I believe, which is probably very low for me) At the end, you are Chunking the information and then LINKING it to your existing knowledge. Step - 4 - If all of that becomes too much in the head (about to cross your cognitive threshold), when you feel you can't hold on to it, you then represent what model you've built in your head so far on paper. And then continue from there again in your head. Step - 5 - Now during this process, you are going to be missing out on a lot of other details, the not-so-important-but-may-be-relevant stuff and also the random factual information to remember, for this another 1 hour may be given separately to 'mop' up all the remaining information.

My method at school was what you just showed but without any mind maps or writing of any sort. All I did was read and think about what I read. Then I'd need to only do one revision session the night before an exam that'd take about 15 minutes to bring the previously encoded information to the surface of my consciousness. Everyone wondered how I did so well when it looked like I did nothing. I had no idea then, but now I see how.

Kinda crazy that I always drew connections (analyze) of new things I'm taught sometimes even saying it to the teacher and always got some weird stares from them and got entirely dismissed as playing around... Edit: Thanks to you I know that 1- I was right all along. 2- That's why I always learned faster and easier than others to the point that I didn't really need to revise anything beyond the classroom to pass. Thanks for that ❤️

Really helpful video! I am a 4th year law student that bought into the idea of "active recall, spaced repetition" hype when I was trying to learn how to learn back into 1st year. I did that way religiously and got "okay" results. However, as the concepts became deeper and more complicated through the years, I started falling behind most of my other classmates that don't study as hard yet outperform me greatly. It's also kind of frustrating that alot of the concepts that I learned in 1st year, most of them still remember till 4th year, while I have to constantly refresh these concepts in my head and forgot most of them already. It gets pretty demoralizing ngl. Recently found your videos and I am still trying to leave the habit of "spaced repetition" techniques and actually incorporate higher cognitive load while I read these truckloads of text. However, I am finding that I am absorbing information and utilizing it much better. Just hope there's enough time before the next big exams for me to utilize these skills. Thank you very much!

*Summary* *1. Consider different study techniques, including mind mapping.* Explore various study techniques and be open to trying different methods, including mind mapping, to find what works best for you. *2. Use study techniques as part of a wider system.* Think about how your chosen study technique fits into your overall learning system and how it can help facilitate other parts of that system. *3. Identify and improve rate-limiting steps.* Identify areas in your learning system that may be holding you back and work to improve them to prevent the entire process from being slowed down. *4. Diversify learning methods.* Avoid relying solely on active recall and space repetition for learning as it may not lead to success in later academic and professional years. Incorporate other learning methods as well. *5. Encode information properly.* Encode information properly to make retrieval easier later on. This includes organizing and categorizing information effectively. *6. Utilize the way the brain works.* Understand how the brain works and use this knowledge to develop a wider system of learning that works effectively for any subject. *7. Avoid improper encoding.* Improper encoding, combined with lots of active recall and space repetition, can lead to a repetitive and unnecessarily time-consuming learning process. *8. Read multiple articles on the topic.* Read multiple articles on the topic you are studying to gain a more comprehensive understanding. *9. Use a metaphor to mentally organize information.* Use metaphors, such as organizing a room or warehouse, to help mentally organize the information you are learning. *10. Create a mental schema.* Focus on creating a mental schema that categorizes and organizes information effectively. Break down the information into big and sub-chunks and figure out how they relate to each other. *11. Work through discomfort.* Cognitive load theory suggests that discomfort and a sense of overwhelmingness while learning is good for growth and learning speed. Embrace discomfort and work through it to gain a deeper understanding. *12. Consolidate information with syntopical reading.* Use syntopical reading to consolidate information from various sources and create a clear structure and organization to help learn the material. *13. Use active chunking.* Use active chunking techniques to manage important points to learn about starting an intervention for a child with autism. *14. Prioritize higher order learning.* Higher order learning, which involves organizing information effectively, is more effective than passive learning. *15. Supplement with memorization aids and flashcards.* Supplement your learning system with memorization aids and flashcards to help encode information and make retrieval easier.

I was the type to never learn for any tests ever. Got me through high school just fine, because I was generally interested nd did very active and efficient encoding. I always thought about what we were actually learning, how it related to stuff I already knew (I did watch alot of documentaries and stuff, so I always had prior knowledge). This resulted in me being the person that had the right answer to any question. But due to being 'lazy', I always missed out on alot of points in tests because of not knowing details or keywords. What he is saying put alot of things into perspective. I will use active recall alot in the future, because it seems to be the missing link for me. I will also practice discipline and look at lectures contents before attending them review everything daily, so I never lose track. Studying is a surprisingly interesting topic, I always thought of it as a nuisance, that sure changed.

I’m a medical student and I have to agree. While Active Recall and Spaced Repetition ARE effective, it shouldn’t be the only techniques you use. Realizing that studying and learning is more than just remembering and getting the right answer on the exam. Short term, AR and SP will be helpful, but in the long term it’s not sustainable so now I’m letting myself fall back to square 1 and learn how study.

But since there is so much, doing the hole "deeper learning" spiel is pretty unrealistic. If you have a basic understanding of the subject and the things you're learning, actually learning things by heart is not that hard. I don't have time to gain a deep understanding of organic chemistry, I just need to learn what I have to to pass the exam. The content is actually not that complicated, it's just a lot.

@whats up Not really possible if you have 3 other tests on other subject that week. And things like cell biology you can't really get a deep understanding of, because we either don't now the precise mechanisms behind things or that mechanism is completely beyond your understanding of the subject. You just need to know which cells differentiate into what. There is no way or need for you to know why.

@whats up I'm a med student ;) Speaking from experience. And the school system in my country doesn't do standardized testing, so we had to comment on and apply everything in exams. Maybe that's why this seems like a no-brainer concept to me - understanding is always the first step. Never really had an issue with that though.

I signed up for your course, even though I've only seen a few videos! But my experiences and my thoughts about studying and learning already back up your methods and I can see there is a lot I don't see, so I want to learn it! It's quite obvious your words are not superficial, so far I can link everything to past experiences. Also, I think I'm in a good position to learn all you have in store for the course because I have different reasons for wanting to learn it, (not just because I want to study better myself) so I'll be automatically looking at things from different perspectives. In my head, I'm paying that annual fee on one hand for my personal development and on another hand I see it as a (fun and interactive) prep course for the cognitive neuroscience courses I'm interested in but am too early in my university career to attend haha.

All of your techniques seem to be beneficial. The techniques used to prime your brain and to sustain a level of understanding is what seems to be logical in becoming sufficiently knowledgeable of a new subject to study. I do, however, have a question in the priming stage. After foraging through the text, research books, handbooks, etc., how am I supposed to become cognizant of foreign terms/concepts? Which techniques are available to become a savant; encyclopedic,if you will (gain awareness), before returning to original study? How important is it to learn vocabulary in isolation and how do I isolate those terms and get access to various context? Especially in advanced fields such as psychology/biochemistry/accounting etc? "How does vocab intext, or while learning, help me to become more analytical, instead of just picking up marginal gains throughout the course of learning a topic?"

I discovered the channel a couple of days ago. I am very grateful for the wisdom. I have heard of some basics of those things when I was in high school taking AP psychology, but that was long ago and I didn't really take advantage of it. I am no longer in school (at least done with undergraduate anyway) but I still try to learn many computer science/software engineering concepts and starting foreign languages. When studying things like math problems, where you directly apply what you "should" have learned, I wonder about the best ways to get though those types of learning tasks.

Hi im not an expert in math but im very enthusiastic about it. Firstly, i want you to know that math is not just applying and plugging formulas. Schools teaches you math by doing steps. However, math isnt just about doing calculations. The thing is formulas and laws had to come from somewhere. Someone thought of it. So how did this person thought of it? It's by using logic and observing patterns. A video to show you what i mean by observing patterns: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJaPoMxp082ynoE.html Then there's math conventions. The reason we have these conventions are because of the history behind it. A good video behind the reason why 1 is not a prime number: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7efmcyB1s6uj6c.html Hope you enjoy the videos and hopefully this enlightened you about math :)

Sorry it’s a little late, but I think planning your assignments makes it a lot easier to actually complete, as in I make dot points and questions to answer for every sentence in a essay and make tables to fill out that follow a steel (statement, technique, example, explain, link) structure. Also spending more time focusing on the criteria and the actual question (in an essay) will make it so you get all the marks possible and don’t loose any to something you didn’t know you were meant to complete. I guess it really depends on what kind of assignments your getting but i usually get full marks or At least straight A’s using this (but I’m Australian so the grading isn’t actually harsh: 50-75 is a c, 90+ is a A) good luck on your studies though

I really like the idea of this but I'm still not sure how to apply this technique correctly. (I'm a highschool student 11. grade from germany) Let's say I'm in biology or physics class and learn something new let's say about how mitochondria work and are structured. How would I apply this technique? I can make connections by saying its a part of the cell and has it's own DNA like chloroplasts. Then I create some sort of mindmap / connection and it helps with learning the connections and relations but I still know nothing about how mitochondria work and stuff like this. Is the ideal way in this case to use Anki to memorize the isolated informations like the function, structure, ... and then still try to find the relation to other things? How do I learn things that I need to know a definition of or the way its built? And what do you think of Apps like Notion or especially Obsidian for the connections? Another example: I need to learn formulas in physics for the free fall or sth like this. Should I remember it first and then connect it to other things or how should I be doing it?
