I will definetely do that in the near future. Going for a deep dive in multiple religions is something I'm interested in, just haven't had the time for it yet.
You speaking slow is actually a technique some people use in order to let others digest what you’re saying better. It can come off as thoughtful so done be worried about your speed. Take your time to chose your words even as you improve.
I genuinely like how you speak, and to all the comments saying that they dont like the pace, they can just increase the playback speed, I'd rather you dont change your style P.S: It seems like the algorithm is helping you
Thank you for kind words and spreading positivity. I do still believe that I need to speed up my way of speaking, at least get rid of the gaps in my speech. Speaking of the increased analytics, I do admit that I don't deserve all those numbers for this video, and I'm very grateful. However this video still has a lot of valuable insights on learning, at least for people who are inexperienced in this subject.
No ads and sponsored promotions, no catchy intro. Just genuinely giving information. Continue doing it like this, and i hope you got good funding and support.
Indeed it's not my main language. But after a lot of feedback and thoughts, I'm certain that I must work on improving my speaking for the future. I'm glad that you understand my position though
Hey i m from India preparing for neet UG ( pre medical entrance exams) . If i learned any topic how to revise them effectively for tests and on what interval of time ? There r so many chs which i will be learning like 80 chs then how to revise..???
@shreyashijha21 Personally, I never had to revise such a large amount of information, so I can only help you with my theoretical knowledge. First of all, you should separate the chapters into groups based on your proficiency-those you know well and those you struggle with, and of course spend more time on the ones that you haven't learned. Make sure to identify and master the most important information from each chapter, before diving into their details. If you have around 2 months to study, I’d recommend scheduling 3 sessions of 1.5 hours each day. If you have less time, ensure that you do not exceed 10 hours of study per day to avoid burnout. Additionally, it’s crucial to mix up the subjects. Rotate between the chapters of physics, chemistry, and biology rather than studying them in blocks. Don’t get stuck on a particular chapter, but also don’t ignore one if you struggle a lot with it-just learn the basics in that case. Finally, make sure to apply as many of the learning optimization techniques that work for you, as discussed in my video in order to up your learning quality and efficiency.
hey! good video. one suggestion: you don't need to have a very well edited video, but cut the moments you're thinking, doing that makes a big difference. but sometimes, when you delivered a dense information / hard concept, don't cut the silence, because the pause in this moment is very important to let the person process the information that received.
Dude, holy. I learned a lot from this video. I will be referencing this video to recreate my learning methods and routines. The algorithm helped me with this, you explained it all so well!
I see the algorithm is on my side :). I'm glad you found this helpful. I'm not an expert on the topic, but through this video I aimed to provide a solid starting point, and a broad view of learning. Remember though to use some critical thinking and reasoning to find out what works, and what doesn't work for you
Thank you for this video. I never thought about using ChatGPT and mind maps to study. Also the concept of linear writing never even crossed my mind! So many times I have filled up notebooks and still can’t recall the subject matter when it comes to test time. Appreciate you!
Thanks. After reflection I do agree that the pace of my talking might be too slow, and because of the technical sentences, and as you noticed a few too many gaps, the information could be loosing in value. I'm happy that x2 solves some of those issues.
Excellent video. You already talked about cramming, but how would the mind-mapping technique be modified when it comes to cramming? I understand non-linear note-taking is the superior technique, but how can I still benefit from it whilst on a limited time-frame?
Thank you. For a limited time mind map, you would still need to apply all of the core fundamentals. The obstacle of time would limit the amount of drafts of your mind map, its depth, and its quality. What would happen is that the risk of encoding your information wrong, or not connecting it all properly, would grow. Basically using your limited understanding, your map would be closer to a draft one, with some innacuracies. The best to do in this scenario, is to make sure that the base of your map is 100% correct, and expand it with the most important concepts, without viewing details that much. At the end, the technique would be similar to any other learning style on a time issue. The only difference is that you may not be able to process all of the information that you need to learn fast enough to transform it into a mind map. Lastly, with limited time you got higher risk at missing stuff, or being overwhelmed with the amount of information. If you would pick what to learn correctly, limiting the info, the mind mapping process would be the same as usual.
@@orestasreinis Thank you. So in that case, would you still advocate for mind-mapping in such a limited timeframe (given the limitations it comes with at this moment), or is it more 'efficient' to stick to at least employing the Feynman technique/self-teaching in an effort to cover the syllabus (my exam is designed in a way that you have to write a page or two about 1 randomly assigned topic from 70 potential syllabus points)?
@@stormblazer9991 I wouldn't disregard mind mapping completely. Your idea of focusing on feynman is great, but I suggest to still make a mind map at the very end of your learning. Aiming to connect all of the info in one big picture, that makes complete sense to you. And one more thing, try to not consume any media/games at least 1 day before the exam. Content consumption will stress out your brain more, may form a brain fog, translating in reduced memory, bad cognitive performance
That's the right mindset to have :) However, by optimising your technique, you'll do better than others, who might work extra hard, and spend all their time, but by not using the right strategies, they aren't producing near as much, as those who worked out what are the best strategies, and are integrating them in their work. Quality can beat quantity, cause quantity will be limited by time. By choosing the right path, you can indeed outperform someone who's in the wrong path, with much less work/effort
I'm using the Razer seiren mini here, it's cheap, with a usb-c cable, and the sound quality is pretty good. If you're interested, after a lot of research about mics, I think that the Rode podmic is the best option, which has almost excellent audio quality and is not as expensive as a Shure sm7b.
@orestasreinis really without all the Neverending fiddling to get the quality right? I use the wave link with the elgato and can't ever get satisfied with the voice quality
@@lukeairborne5552 The more expensive the mic is, the better its quality will likely be. If I'm not mistaken, Rode also has apps or something where you can regulate your mic's audio. But the Razer I'm using was quite cheap and the audio is okay. I feel like the most important step in the audio optimization journey is to move from the terrible mic to a good enough one, and then it doesn't matter that much if it's good or perfect, if used for speaking
Thank you, I see what you mean. You can learn english with it and learn about learning itself :). That also reminds me that I forgot to include a message on how to learn a language. That's something I will add to my next year's learning guide. Till then enjoy your learning journey!!
Thank you for the comment, however I won't speed up & reupload this video, you can increase the speed by yourself. But as I already said, in 2025 I'll do a similar video, which will be much more improved, with better insights and a better pace. There's nothing I can do at the present moment, I'm sorry for the issues that you're experiencing
@@orestasreinis no i mean you should talk more fast to keep attention, there is a greate idea in your video i thank you win a lot to make short explaination instead of to talk slowly. good luck
After I wrote under your reply, somehow RU-vid removed it, don’t know why. So I just post it here: Yes, I learned everything through Anki, and so far it works for me. I’m not a graduated student, so I’m not learning like something super complicated stuff. I just like to learn in general so I throw in anything into Anki that I find interest, including very random stuff. I have watched the video you recommend, and I agree totally what he said about the pro and con about using Anki. But I believe by the re-writing the question of the card occasionally, you can solve the issue he mentioned. For example, if I noticed that I’m memorizing the question of the card instead, like when reading the first few words of the question my brain already recall the answer. In that case I will re-write the question with a different angle, to give my brain a fresh start. Also he mentioned Anki only good for low level knowledge like fact which is also true. Is a bit hard to design the card for concept that have multiple points. In that case I will try to break down the concept into a few cards. By trying to breaks down the concept into small piece, my brain already is doing the initial learning. And when I review the multiple Anki cards related to the same concept, after a few repetition, my brain will magically connect the concept from different cards and build a network. He mentioned a quote “human memory excel when knowledge is connected into a network”, it is very true. But i will also add that it is also true in reverse. When our brain can hold on or memorized different facts (hold on in our brain for 2 months will probably enough) in a related concept or topic, our brain will be able to connected it and make it into a network.” And this is doing passively when we are taking a walk, take a shower, etc. which is basically zero effort. But again, I’m not studying super complicated stuff, so I cannot speak for those situation. But I would be confidence to say it work for all undergraduates level knowledge such as biology, human physiology, astronomy, etc.
I'm glad to hear that it works for you. I also agree that your way of learning through Anki can be beneficial for other people too. However I still believe that other learning techniques such as mind maps are way more valuable, and when used perfectly beat any other method of learning, and once you master it, the learning load will be very low with it as well. I'd say to other people use flashcards if you like that, but if you really want to upgrade your learning skills to the next level, then you got to drop the technique of flashcards. But if we're talking about people that are learning without any techniques, in that case flashcards are a better choice
@@SoulEscalator Got some bad news for you. I won't be doing a mind map focused video at least for now. I am trying to share value on this channel, but I'm not only focussing on the topic of learning. Plus I'm still figuring out things about mind maps, and before incorporating this topic in great detail in a video, I would need to master it. I'm planning to make another learning guide in 2025, I believe that at that time I'll know everything that I need. And in the meantime I'll also be working on my communication skills, so I can already promise that the 2025 learning guide will be far better, and more complete than this one. Till then there will be no more videos about learning
@SoulEscalator Here's one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g7j_CoKD1Xs.htmlsi=weh3wGHaX5MDqGTB Justin Sung has quite a lot of videos about it too. This technique is quite hard to master and understand so it requires lots of practice and research.
Thank you for taking your time to share this advice. A big piece of this video is inspired of Justin's words. If you would check the description and some comments, I already mentioned him. He's the best learning coach of which I am aware at the present moment. If you got more spare time, would you say that I was wrong on some parts of my vid, or not clear enough?
Hey Mate, well done for making this video. It’s really tough to put yourself out there and give it a shot! If you want some tips and guidance I’m happy to jump on zoom and we can chat! 👊
I watched. Long journey ahead of you. I can advise you that trying to look and talk like an expert don't suit you. Advices aren't wrong but are too general to add any real value to already existing tons of free materials saying exactly the same things.
@@PeterIntrovert I fully agree with some of your commentary. First of all thank you for watching. Here is my side of things: This is only my first draft about the topic of learning. I am young, got a long way to go. Even though there is plenty of ressources on this topic online, I've noticed that a lot of students, young people have no idea how to learn. In this video I did condense all of the information that I knew, making this a great starting point for new learners. Furthermore the science of learning is a vast subject, which could not be entirely covered in a single video. More about my contradictions, well I did say that if you apply things like metacognition, improvement, you will become better, no matter how much you already know (which is true). And the disclaimer is simply an act of showing the reality of things, cause after all, we can never be 100% correct (it's all about worldwide beliefs that say such thing is the truth, some other thing is a lie), there will always be exceptions to things. On the other hand I'd like to appologize to you for giving you false hope of learning something extra. I will be more careful in the future, set a clearer line between expert and self-taught knowledge. And I must also say, that such content, with the goal of value spreading is something that I will continue, I might be terrible at it now, but I will work to become better, I won't stop improving. One more thing, you pretend to be way more advanced on this topic yourself, how so, if I may ask?
Fair enough. My comment might not be relevant for your perspective or someone who never have contact with any sense-making around learning topic yet and just start orienting in what to think about it. You gather good and important points. It is just a little dry and unspecific. Don't be discouraged by my comments. Everything require time and practice. I believe you will improve if you keep doing videos. I have formal education in the topic and I am a little passionate about it. I watched a lot of contents like this and went through a couple of courses. I don't like framing of being more or less advanced or using any kind of authority. But yeah I am a little critical and that might sound arrogant, sorry for that. I don't bother with keeping an image of false positivity, it's just the way I am. Today I watched another video of young lawyer who is starting new academic career in medical school. His video was less infomative because he was trying to cover mindset in learning topic but what I liked is that he showed that is competent without speaking like an expert from the authority vibe. It was fun and engaging to listen to. It was like a buddy sharing his experience and what knowledge he acquire on his journey. I am telling this not for comparison but just sharing how preferable material would look like for me. Take it or leave it. Feedback. All in all your video isn't bad and it's good to start. Just sharing my impressions.
I understand your position in all this better now. Thank you very much for spending some of your time on me, and sharing some wise words. I do have one more question: what end goal are you going for (related to learning? What is your desired outcome of your research on learning?
Thank you. I agree that this video should be sped up, I would suggest a x2 even instead of x1.5. It's simply the way my natural way of speaking, but I'm working on gaining speaking speed.
Again, I'm very sorry for all these extra steps of speeding up the vid. For the next one, I'll specifically pay a lot of my attention on how the information is shared, instead of only focusing on what is being shared
