1- Pre learning Plan: Identify what you do want to learn, what is the most efficient and effective way to achieve it: the order on which you will follow the plan and the most important things to learn. Use a strong and strict deadline to prevent procrastination procrastination 2- Learning You have to put in hard work. Make your learning-dedicated time spaces also the most efficient and effective as possible. Eliminate all types of external or internal distractors so you can put in your whole focus on your task, which can be trained with meditation, consistency and continual reflection and improvement 3- Drilling Make your drills as close to the goal context as possible. Identify and attack your weakness constantly so you can get your expertise to its maximum potential
A 6 minute video where not even a second goes to waste. It's crazy how few subscribers you have when you put out such high-quality educational content, cheers mate
Regardless of how efficient and high-quality this video was, it is still just clickbait. Nobody is going to become a "genius" if they weren't born with genius-level brain cells, and nobody is going to become an "expert" at anything without investing the requisite time, energy, and dedication that expertise requires.
Makes sense why so many struggle at school, the lack of control of what you learn, it doesn't matter it it's interesting and you're operating on someone else's time.
Exactly. I know someone who currently knows and can talk 8 languages. I've known the guy for like 8 (almost 9 after 2023 is over) years now as he was a childhood friend of mine, he struggled to learn languages on school because of the exact stuff teached on this video. He (and I) learned all of the languages we know from a source that isn't the school system because its simply inefficient at teaching and doesn't work on 90% of people at a good enough speed Its incredible how someone can learn a ton of languages in an insane speed (and to learn other skills and etc) when it's efficient. I still don't know that many languages but the work my friend has done learning was incredible
@@Error-33 my school was rubbish. We had french that was taught out of very dated textbooks, I remember one go to being a french dictionary. We were taught to write down the correct answers to questions and policed on spelling, practical & relevant application didn't matter.
@@Eet_Mia the source is: Trust me bro Its all from my experience so there isn't any documental proof of anything and its up to you to believe it or not edit: I just realised you meant the source in the reply that i was talking about, for language learning we used duolingo mostly (but he did use something else too, ill ask him soon what it was and put it here) with a really good schedule guaranteeing 2-3 hours of practice each day depending on what day it is I hope this helps, also for other things that we learn we mostly implement the skill in a way that would be similar to using it in a real situation. For example we would actually be writing code and developing small programs, to learn programming. Ofc with a good schedule that guarantees lots of efficient practice per day. Also using online sources of learning benefited us bc the person recording a video or giving advice is in a good mood unlike most teachers on a long day at work I hope this helps
Because it’s clickbait & there’s more to the story lol ormus, change of diet, extra sleep & MAYBE stimulants but lots of mushrooms (not psilocybin) anything that helps with brain cognition & focus
Its a very basic system that everyone knows or thinks they know, yet they have no idea that it is a valid point of entry and they simply dont think of utilizing it. This is a very helpful video for me. Thank you so much, both scott youngs wisdom and your way of describing it.
[0:23] 🎓Pre-learning 1. *Pre-learning* involves researching and planning the order of topics needed and the method of learning. For example, you have to study prerequisite topics like algebra and trigonometry before you can start calculus and the method of learning for math is doing practice problems rather than reviewing flashcards. 00:23 2. *Set a hard deadline* for pre-learning to avoid procrastination. Set aside 10% of your time for pre-learning. Lets say the exam is in 10 days, set aside 1 day to plan out the roadmap. 01:28 [2:24]💡Focused learning is key to effective and enjoyable learning, and it involves eliminating distractions 1. *Focusing* comes down to eliminating external and internal distractions and training focus as a skill through meditation, consistency, and reflection. 02:24 2. *Practicing* in the exact or close approximation of the desired situation is crucial for effective learning and achieving goals. 03:29 3. *Drilling* helps identify weaknesses and allows for targeted practice to improve specific aspects of a subject. 04:02
This video taught me that the only thing in the way of me being a genius is that I haven’t eliminated my younger brother. I got accepted into Harvard right afterwards
HI, I rarely comment on videos but your statement about intuition at 5:30 really sticked to me, never thought of it that way. I used to confuse intuition with the little voice in my head that wanted to take the easier path, the path which wouldn't require me to think deeply .If what you say is true, experience makes our intuition more trustful, which leads to more space to actively think about things we don't completly master which helps a lot in order to be great . Thank you for that
00:02 Pre-learning is the first step to mastering a new subject or skill. 00:47 Efficient learning comes from focusing on the core skills of a subject. 01:36 10% of your entire project should be taken up by the research phase. 02:23 Focus on eliminating distractions, training focus as a skill, and continual improvement. 03:11 Practice in the exact situation you want to use your newfound understanding in. 03:58 Drilling is essential for identifying and improving weaknesses in learning. 04:44 Using a combination of direct practice and specific drilling can help you reach your desired skill level more quickly. 05:31 Intuition is a powerful tool to cut through information overload and make strong claims.

A proper video about learning! I was stuck in "Tutorial hell" but I read a book similar to the video's statements about learning and began progressing much quicker, precise and transform learning from a chore to a fun activity!
I watch one video of yours so many times that your voice is ingrained in my brain and my mind gets extra motivated and pumped when I listen your videos
Didnt realise I was learning things this way before I've watched this video, I've always been good with learning things I'm interested /passionate about and never paid attention to how I actually learn thigns. This put things into perspective for me and helped detect flaws I had in my current "method", i.e I've never considered "infernal distractions" such as stess and perfectionism. I have ADHD and that massively affects how much focus I can allocate to certain tasks and I always blamed it for said lack of focus. Now that I'm aware that my mental state can affect my learning I will do a better job at negating its effects. Also need to keep my perfectionism in check. Awesome video! Did not expect much, and was pleasantly surprised. Hope your channel will do well.
Since you said you have ADHD and you're a perfectionist, I've been wanting to ask you how do you manage them both? I have the exact same issue where ADHD doesn't let me focus but being a perfectionist, I just can't let things go...I HAVE TO keep going until I ace the task (high expectations from myself) This leads me to burnout many a times... Would love to know how you manage it.. Cheers

Organic chemistry is my weakness,i have one month to prepare for my exam and i have promised myself to ace the exam with top rank ,gonna apply what i learned in this vedio and i will update you after a month! Thanks.
Wow, I must be living under a rock, because I had never heard of Scott Young. He sounds extraordinary, and the way you explained his system was very clear.
1- Plan Pre aprendizaje: Identifica qué quieres aprender, cuál es la forma más eficiente y efectiva de lograrlo: el orden en el que seguirás el plan y las cosas más importantes a aprender. Utilice una fecha límite estricta y estricta para evitar la procrastinación. 2- Aprendizaje Tienes que esforzarte mucho. Haga que sus espacios de tiempo dedicados al aprendizaje también sean lo más eficientes y efectivos posible. Elimina todo tipo de distractores externos o internos para que puedas concentrarte por completo en tu tarea, que puede entrenarse con meditación, constancia y reflexión y mejora continua. 3- Ejercicios Haz que tus ejercicios se acerquen lo más posible al contexto objetivo. Identifique y ataque sus debilidades constantemente para que pueda llevar su experiencia a su máximo potencial.
WOW, that was an amazing video! Both the quality of the content and your ability to pass the ideas to the audience are top-notch. I hope to see more videos like this one in the future :)
This was about as amazing as cold oatmeal. He might have offered some useful advice about how to be a better student, but there is no way that someone is going to become a "genius" or an "expert," especially not become one "fast," by following his suggestions. This is just more clickbait, among the millions of other clickbait on RU-vid -- somebody making money by cranking out dime-a-dozen videos.
@@rickarmstrong9660 That's your opinion. I don't expect people to become "experts" or "geniuses" after watching this video, but I do enjoy its very well-done content. I appreciate this self-development advice even though other videos have already covered this topic. And I think he deserves the praise.
@@stekl.h I'm not disputing the quality of the content, but to claim that it is going to make a "genius" or an "expert"out of someone and to do it "fast" is not just an exaggeration but a lie. It's clickbait, just to attract viewers. I know that many YT videographers do it but it's tacky.
SUMMARY 1.PRE LEARNING Before starting off with the skill you want to learn make some pre-requisites to that topic and plan a route to achieve it. Do some research but that must not take 10% of the total time taken by a project.Make a deadline for that. 2.LEARNING Now the real thing begins for starting off with the skill ,start from absolute scratch grab the basics very clearly focus plays a vital role here ,understand your weaknesses and work on them alongside practice a lot on the topic you want to learn. 3.Mastery Intuition plays a great role so if you have an excellent learning curve through out the process you will surely be able to solve problems that requires critical thinking.
Language has a lot of aspects and each of them acts like a building block to the next one. I agree that we need to create a roadmap to know these aspects and how we can learn them simultaneously.
So in short, choose a subject or skill, plan on how you will learn and in what order. study without distractions and practice constantly to eliminate weaknesses. I'll give it a try. very good video as it is to the point.
Learning is a process, and what we gain from it matters a lot. That’s why I’ve decided to learn from someone I aspire to be like, rather than from general teachers🐨
"focusing comes down to just three things... eliminating external distractions, like your phone, your tv and your younger brother" *Bravo six going dark*
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,307 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
that's incredible man, you already did the hard part of starting a yt channel which is to get your 1st 1000 subs. You're on your way to success I'd say
@@Error-33 Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my RU-vid channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a RU-vidr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this RU-vid thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
I had learned 4 entire subjects in a month to switch schools This is a system i created for myself while doing them +reread this list +Find keywords of what are you learning +find everything required before starting -Find tasks depending on need -Pick whatever you can do fastest +Break up subject into as smallest tasks as possible -Focus on the task dont randomly switch what your doing -Make it as so your making it for somebody else then you -Always try to make it representative so you can seek accomplishment -Do not let others dictate YOU have to be the one to ask +Make presentations and show them at the end of the day -DO NOT get focused on one task for too long -FIND YOURSELF ONE FUN TASK for example make something funny or something about yourself -Create structures of content then create structure to define content (this basically means try to categorize everything instead of learning it) +Seek challengesand talk with teachers +review achievements
Those were only learning protocols additionally you wanna: - quit any bad habit - motivate yourself - engaged in unconstrained self talk to deal with problems (In my case shyzo text file where chatted with myself to better focus on the problems)
Some good advice. If it’s a subject that is relatively focused and straightforward (like learning a language), the pre-learning stage can easily be done ahead of time. If it’s a topic that is very broad, complex, open-ended or with many different approaches, for example, writing a novel, an iterative approach may be best. For example, first look up how to write a short story, then write two short stories (like 1000 words each so they go quickly). Then assess your weaknesses at at least two levels (the story arc which involves character development and plot structure, and the wording) and where your process failed (or better, have an experienced writer assess the various aspects of the stories), and then do the pre-learning stage on the areas that need the most work. Once you can write an effective short story, it's theoretically just a matter of scaling the complexity to write a novel. In any case, broad topics like that will get you expertise much more quickly if you do many quick cycles of learning followed by practice, critiquing your practice, learning, practice, etc.
Can I just say I really appreciate that you didn't put any music in the video!! To many videos nowadays are so unfocused & difficult to comprehend due to the deafening impact of too-loud background music that adds no real value to the contents of the video. Glad you didn't fall into that trap & hope you continue with videos as excellent as this one
These are the videos you click on and save due to the high level of learning to learn which will propel you in any aspect of life very valuable information
Aantekeningen: 1. Creëer overzicht m.b.t. je voorgenomen leerpad a.) Definieer wat je leerdoel b.) Bepaal de hiërarchie van verschillende vaardigheden en leer ze dienovereenkomstig c.) Bepaal de meest effectieve methode om het leerdoel te bereiken !) Leg jezelf een startpunt op voor het bewandelen van het leerpad 2. Vormgeven van de Methode: a.) Vitaliseer je focus - Minimaliseer externe afleiding - Minimaliseer interne afleiding - Train focus (Meditatie & reflectie) b.) Doelmatigheid - Pas je leermethode aan aan de context waarin je de vaardigheid uiteindelijk wil gebruiken (oefenen) c.) Drilling - Geef aandacht aan het afzijdig opkrikken van zwakke deelvaardigheden 3. Expertise zal leiden tot het verbeteren van intuïties.
I would like to point out the difference between learning something like information vs learning a sport/body movement, for example, constant drilling in a sport like tennis wouldn't result in the same level of skill acquisition as playing against an actual opponent on the other hand constantly "drilling" words and speech patterns can get you a long way in language learning
'Directness' was what I was doing, when I have a urge learn something. That's when I learn the more practical knowledge that makes you motivated to do more. Immediate 'feedback' is also important to modify your initial frameworks in next cycle of Directness, Practice and Drill.
So just focus my attention? Just don't get distracted? The video is good with some great points; as with anything in life I will have to customise it for my own capabilities. I have spend close to 50 years just trying to focus, telling myself just to do it- and then feeling like crap because I could not just do it. I've spent the last year and a 1/2 learning more about myself, what I can do, and what I can't. I've done what I can to minimize and eliminate distractions, I moved out of home decades ago to avoid fratricide. So when I do get distracted I just have to have tools and strategies in place to get my focus back to the task at hand, or know its not going to happen right now and so at least try and divert as best I can. The pre learning, or planning stage is good, setting a target time will help reduce procrastination rabbit holes. The identify weakness, contextual & targeted learning, bring sub=topic up, then check what is now your new weak area, or loop again if required , asses weakness & strength loop is a great approach. Possible weak areas may already have presented itself in pre learning phase. It is this iteration step that I believe will be most valuable for me. Anyway, I have waffled on when I Just meant to say thanks for a great Vid, every day should be a learning day. Cheers
Amazing video man! Decent quality and very valuable. One tip, try slowing down your speech a bit. (Even 5% is fine maybe?) It will definitely help both us and you with the growth!
Oh my this is how I just do things. I want to play the banjo, I currently do not know how. While I pratice harmonica and the music theory to make my time on the banjo easier. I got a book about the history of the banjo. It's got long african roots turns out. I feel what you have put down here, is an much easier way for me to do what I normally do before I try something new. This time I should actually write it down. If you say you are going to do something and do it you are being honest. If you write it down and do it, that's prophecy.
for everything we learn there is a specific scenario or set of scenarios that we are training for, whatever direction our learning is directed towards we need to gear a huge proportion of our study time towards practicing in the same exact situation or as close an approximation as we can get, so make sure your study techniques never steer too far from the study context you wish to use your newfound understanding in, if you don't do this you'll end up wasting a lot of time and you wont get as close to your goals anyway
Thank you for sharing your insights and the journey! It's amazing how self-reflection can shed light on our learning process and help us identify areas for improvement. Being aware of the impact of mental state and perfectionism is a great step towards overcoming challenges. Keep up the positive mindset and continue to grow and learn!
Pre-Learning can be a difficult task to accomplish if you're learning something from scratch. Because if you don't know what you don't know, then you'll likely end up creating a tangled web of knowledge that you can't unscramble... like the tangled web of photos and paperwork in Kevin Spacey's "A Beautiful Mind".
Don't get me wrong, what he did was still pretty impressive. But if you go down this rabbit hole you will see that Scott Young maybe didn't even pass that MIT course and he just did it to advertise himself. * He defined what it meant to pass and "learn" MIT's curriculum * He set the passing grade to be unrealistically low * He set passing to be unrepresentative of taking a class. MIT's classes are very hands-on, omitting the lab components is a *huge* difference. * He leniently graded himself * He did not take advanced subjects * He passed his own extremely generous definition of what it means to pass, which he uses to justify his statements that he "learned an MIT degree." In the TEDx video he mentions the pitfalls of his approach early on, dwells on his method and finishes by saying that he "learned an MIT degree." By glossing over the pitfalls at the beginning, he simultaenously acknowledges and shifts attention away from *how much he didn't do,* and concentrates on his successes. He *still* advertises his success in completing a degree 4x faster and at 1/100th the cost of what an MIT student would do, even though he himself shows how it isn't comparable. This was all a short version of what Andres Romero, an actual student who finished MIT, said in the his Quora post. I hold with his opinion and I also want to add my part to it. Getting a degree is worthless if you don't put that degree to use. You want to learn how to make PCB's, Videogames, Animation, Music? Start by doing it. And don't start with something hard, start with something easy and after you finish that try something a bit harder over and over again until you are able to actually make something hard. That's how it works for games, for drawing, for learning how to sing at guitar, for learning a language. All you have to do is start.

please expand on this, this can be truly phenomenal knowledge to gain. Perhaps not even this subject but i would love a longer video, this is just a video that looks like a shortform of a book, no offense but I don't see too much meat here!
