How to Learn: Pretty Much Anything 

Since sleep is important to learn, I will take that as my first step. Goodnight y'all

"The key to learning is sleep" Me: ah yes "Staying inside all day can lead to severe depression" Me: ah yes

I’ m a teacher and ı think people tend to procrastinate the things they wanna make or learn because of they think if they dont spend their max effort and time there will be nothing meaningful. For exp if a student wanna learn a lesson thinks like I need to study this subject/lesson for hours, but studying for hours is boring or I dont need enough time for it today, lets try it the other day. And the other day will be just the same. U need to understand that if u dont do anything about something u ll get nothing. If u do whatever u wanna do for maybe a minute, maybe 10, maybe 1 hour doesnt matter it will progress. So u wanna learn chem u can start with 10 min. study every day or every weekend as u wish, finally after a few months u definitely have knowledge about chem. We always think like if i make many hours effort suddenly we will be perfect on it. But reality is if u spent efforts, even tiny efforts like baby steps u will learn how to walk

My procrastination is so bad, I can't even finish this video even though this is absolutely something I needed. I really appreciate motivational posts like this.

Are you telling me this video *isn't sponsored by skillshare* ?

Learning things activates the pain center? Cool, I didn't know th- *OW MY PAIN CENTER*

I’ve always wanted to learn a second language. I finally dived head long into learning French at the age of 31. Happy to say after five months I’m hitting an intermediate level and still learning new words and phrases everyday.

the taking breaks thing is VERY important. When learning anything, even a sport or something mostly physical, the thing that gets worked up the most is your brain. Oh, you wanna learn bass? Well guess what, your fingers are not going to be your main problem, your brain is. Take breaks, sleep, and when you feel like you can't play right or learn anything for the day, leave it at that. You've reached your limit, and you literally can NOT go over it

"Staying shut in all day is a great way to develop severe depression" *Its corona time*

"Sleep is extremely important" School: I'm about to end this whole man's career

One of my weaknesses that I want to overcome is sharing my thoughts out like this one. This video just helped me take initiative and engage in the comments section! I get very anxious and I fear how people would reply to me and this video just inspired me to make this year of mine to be full of knowledge and new learnings. Thank you so much!

The "details get easier to learn as you understand the broad idea" is SUCH a good point that I'd never thought about before. I study economics and the graphs are quite frankly a fucking nightmare to understand, but the more you understand the fundamental point behind them, the more you start to grasp the equations.

“Sleeping is very important” **Me watching this at 4 am**

Video: "Dont Procrastinate." me: *presses watch later*

Man I love this video because I relate with so many things I’ve overcome on my own which I’m so proud of myself for but I also acknowledge that there are still much more to be learned and to get through which fortunately for me am excited for

This has been in my watch later for 6 months. Finally got around to watching it, actually very helpful. Thank you

“Oh wait I have 0.1 GB left on my brain” killed me

I put "procastinate" down on my to-do list, so when I try to procastinate, I procastinate by not procastinating and do my work instead.

This is an incredibly insightful and overall well researched and presented. I want to thank you for putting in as much effort as you have to provide a great understanding of the learning process as well as inspire others

I suppose it is the most helpful video i have ever seen about this topic (learning and process of memorised stuff). I've been looking for something like this with the description about brain-work a very long time. And i've finally found it. Thank you a lot!

Chapter 1 made me laugh cause of how horribly accurate the description of it is

I left this video on "watch later" for several days untill now. How ironic

Watching videos about something you'd like to learn (tutorials, informational stuff, literally anything at all related to that topic) is something that always motivated me to start learning that thing! I always get impressed when i see people making videos about it and how casually they approach that thing that seems far away from me as "proffesionals"

This man just read my thoughts and put them into words and explained every single one of them in chapters, thank you, this motivated me to start programming again

"staying shut is a great way to develop severe depression" sounds great

*"I'm going to study at 6."* *"I'm going to study at 7."* *"I'm going to study at 8."* *"I'm going to study at 9."* Me talking to myself: why are you like this

Wow. I really needed to hear this, thank you! I've been procrastinating from artwork and college because both have been causing me a lot of stress combined (mainly math is causing it.) I'll keep this amazing video on hand to refresh my memory of these topics when I need it, because I definitely needed it. Sleep is one of the biggest issues for me but honestly all of my issues come down to how much initiative I have to re-balance how I do things and what things I do. 10/10 video.

Man, this was a well written video, helps a lot how I can get my head together. Thank you for your wisdom.

“Sleep is extremely important” Me at 4 am having to wake up in 2 hours: *sweating*

A trick I use to stop procrastinating is to tell myself that I would do that thing for as little time possible, like studying or exercising for 30 seconds. As soon as I started I would realize that it wasn't so painful and keep doing it

Been drawing since 6th grade and professionally now for 2 years and I can say that this would’ve been extremely helpful during middle/high school era and one thing I would add is try to have fun or find someone with similar interests so you have someone to relate to

I really needed this video. It motivated me to push myself that extra step and pick up my studies again

"Your brain remembers things by importance-" I guess that's why I remember things like what some stranger's hat looked like at Disney World 15 years ago but I don't remember where I put my car keys.. wait a min

Brain: *forgets how to breathe* Me: _nOt iMPorTAnt_

Thank you for the content, I appreciate your work because it helps me focus and understand why studying sucks, but has positive repercussions.

Damn man you're honest about it. It honestly helps a lot and gives a lot of insight

*oh I have 0.1 gigabytes left in my brain*

I'm so lazy that I can't even watch this whole video

One thing I do wanna say is that with something creative like drawing, I think it’s okay to be a bit more loose! Of course anatomy is important, and lines of action can help a lot, but it’s okay if you wanna do something different. Art is such a unique thing, so putting everyone in the same box of learning realism and anatomy isn’t always the best thing (even though it may be for some people). I can’t say the same about learning other things, since I am only speaking from my perspective as an artist, but I think art is one of those things you’ve got to figure out for yourself. Everyone’s art is different, so don’t worry if you’re anatomy is a bit wonky or your shape language is weird. The most important part is having fun, because it leads to the most expressive art :)

Lately I have been thinking of actually taking initiative, as mentioned here, but also being motivated by the fact that I feel great after accomplishing something as simple as schoolwork or even making a phone call. This is a great video and I feel like it will help me out a lot. It is a solid reminder to take initiative hahah

"Sleep, Exercise, and Socializing are what you need" me: 😶🙁☹️

When you realize your brain is creating synapses from learning about synapses

Great video! Trying to learn something new every day as well and even though I knew already many of the stuff mentioned in the video, it is nice to recall all those things and hear it out loud from somebody else as well.

I think this is the best video I've came across when it comes to learning. Very helpful, thanks.

Am I the only person that feels motivated to do stuff when it's like 3am

I swear I’m procrastinating on watching this damn video. It’s so well crafted yet my mind is wandering dammit.

This video seems to have the ability to really make me wanna go study, even if I've been dreading it. Sorry for not finishing it but I gotta go and make use of this sudden surge of motivation. Bless you!

As someone who introspects A LOT, i am extremely self-conscious so i always know when i'm trying to trick myself into getting more motivation, i always realise that i'm going out of my comfort zone even just a tiny bit and there always seems to be this rope that drags me back, almost like me not even being unmotivated, just plain stubborn. I Know full well about how good this will feel, heck i've done it before i know how good it does feel in the end, but it's almost like i do not even care about it deep down, it's really annoying

"being socially active helps your brain" Me to my brain right now: boy.... Do I have bad news for you

Schools should be set up so that we can explore our interests early and then begin learning them somewhere in our teens. Why devote 12 years of your life to that when you could spend 6 years being introduced to a ton of different cool stuff and then another 6 to narrowing down your options. I just hate school- it kills creativity.

This was a very fun and informative video. I learned so much, unironically, in the span of this 11 minute video and I appreciate you explaining it in a way that I can wrap my head around easily. Thanks! I'll definitely use this to better myself and my surroundings.

This video is so good! relatable & right in my personal experience.

Brain: *needs sleep to help learn* School: We don’t do that here

"you have to take breaks, you cant just learn everything at once." me with 17 missing assignments in biology: hm.

I have been struggling to find the initiative for quite some time now. I have found it today. Thank you for the video :)

Thank you Mattias

I actually procrastinated to even watch this video. I just put it in my watch later list and now months later here I am. Update: Now I’m procrastinating to do what the video is suggesting I should do, at stopping myself from procrastinating.

" Sleep is extremely important" *sweats profusely*

Very interesting video. Thanks for compiling this information and posting it!

watched this once. immediately subscribed after finished the video most helpful video ive seen abt studying something, really useful!! thank u for the video

2020:“Staying shut in all day is a great way to develop severe depression”

"Just study"

This was absolutely so useful thank you

Thanks for the video!

Never before have i been so offended by something I 100% agree with

Here I am, procrastinating with a video about self-motivation.

I've been attempting to start drawing recently, and stumbled across this video randomly. Somehow, this video managed to cover every thing I've been worrying about! I'm going so save this, and replay it at least once every week.

Thank you for this video

*I watched the video so you have no excuse to procrastinate* 1. Don’t wait for motivation, just do it 2. Do big tasks by small pieces 3. Sleep, socialising & exercise 4. Cut out background noise and do it yourself 5. Understand the basics before the branching into more abstract details 6. Practice independently and repeat on what you’ve forgotten. 7. Don’t just learn new information, take a time to process it

1. Sleep 2. Going outside 3. Social interaction 4. Exercise Hah, my worst departments 😎

thank you, I appreciate that you took time to make this insightful video

Wow this video packed a punch. With alot of insight. With someone with an Anxiety dissorder I can so relate. Thank you. Hope I can utilise these tips 🙏

Notes for anybody who needs to review: 1. Stop procrastinating, just start doing it. Do it now. The biggest hurdle is putting it off. When you start doing it, there'll be a point when you'll get frustrated because there's no instant reward/gratification, so you'll get distracted and put it off again. To solve this, just start doing it again. Long term satisfaction is worth more than the short term. Take initiative. 2. It takes time to remember things. You can't soak it up everything right away. Learning is about repetition. Don't try to learn everything about a subject all at once. You can focus on certain areas you're really curious about first. For example, you don't have to follow an instructional book in chronological order you can focus on the pages you need now, and then when you come back to the same pages it'll be a refresher. Additionally, sleep lots and exercise. Interact socially with other people. Give yourself a break and let your brain rest. It'll prevent yourself from burning out, improve your mood and strengthen your motivation to continue learning. 3. You have to try it out and apply what you're learning by yourself. Practice what you've learned. Your brain has 2 modes of thinking. The focused mode (logical/left-brain) and the diffused mode (creative/right-brain). You can shift between these 2 modes. When you're learning something new, eliminate all distractions so you have total concentration. This'll increase the efficiency of your memory. When you're just reviewing something, you can listen to music or videos in the background. You can let your mind wander because you're just reinforcing what you've already learned. 4. It will get more difficult as you continue learning something. But it's alright, that feeling is normal. Try to understand the main ideas and not get stuck in the details. Your brain will eventually connect with the more complicated things. 5. Study, review and test yourself on what you've learned. However, don't just study one area. Go back and forth between different things so you give yourself space to repeat and process these things you're learning. 6. It takes time. It's a process. It can be stressful. Learning something new is daunting and that's why most people don't do it and procrastinate. But understand that you don't have to know everything right away. Start off with small steps. Do it gradually and over time you'll be surprised at how much you've learned.

"Be socially active" Me as an introvert: ah

Thank you so much for this video

Trying to make a career change and there’s a lot to learn and it’s been overwhelming. This helped change my perspective, thank you!

“Why would you do the equivalent of hurting yourself?” I genuinely laughed, I don’t know why.

"Wich leg did i kick? Well, that's the dominant leg" Great video man.

The fact I can understand this video without subtitles makes me very happy ^^ Thx for your advice !

I really needed this, thanks :)

When I’m to lazy to learn something I remember all of the other people in the world doing learning the exact same thing I want to learn, then I do it because I like competition

"just start doing it" is the hardest thing to do actually. edit: i love how all the replies is everyone sharing their own problems and solutions 😊

I relly like this video, i feel like it put my thoughts into words but also answered a lot of questions i had on this topic, really helpful!!

Thank you for the tips. It's really helpful!

Holy crap this might actually save my life

this video gets recommended to me like every month, then i rewatch it everytime cause i keep on forgetting what was said in this video lol

Great video. Definitely needed this.

thank you for making this video

"If you have forgotten something, it's probably because you did not have a need for it." Then how come I keep forgetting how to do simple math but remember the entire fresh prince of bel air theme

"If you forgotten something, then it probably means that you didn't have a need for it." That explains schools a lot.

Thanks for my buddy for introducing me this. This was really informative :)

this is the realest thing ever. its like you were speaking directly to me.

“Staying shut in all day is a great way to develop... *severe depression* “ * looks around at empty room * * shrugs *

1 - Procrastination: just do it (despite how much your brain dislikes it) 2 - How to remember: SYNAPSES --> make what you learn important / sleep well / exercise / don't be a shut-in neet 3 - Outside help: 2 sides of the brain, use them appropriately. Don't let others "learn for you". 4 - Tough new things: Learn it until you make it relatable, don't get stuck with the details 5 - Practicing: balance the 2 sides of the brain (learning / creating); practice again what you got wrong the first time 6 - The process: don't expect pain of the learning, focus on what you can do with what you have right now to get better Hope this helps! Also, great video, you explain things well with a small touch of humor

Thank you for this 🙏

HOLLY SHIT BRO EACH AND EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SAID EVEN ABOUT MAKING MUSIC ON A SOFTWARE NEAR THE END, ALL, EVERY SINGLE THING RELATED TO ME. This video is so relatable that it feels like you knew or god showed me this video to remind me to take initiative. THANK you so SO MUCH for this video! great video, cool animations.

Science: Humans are social and physical creatures, and require it to be efficient in mental health. Me: stays inside without exercise and minimal social interaction for weeks at a time Me: Gets lazy and unhappy Me: Surprised Pikachu

Watching this made me wish I still had a kid's brain because this is exactly what we all did during our childhood days but we didn’t get anxious or procrastinate at all, we just DID IT and made a lot of mistakes but we didn’t care you know :^( And that’s how we basically learnt the stuff we know now and find easy af.

Always encouraging to see these kinda vids

Theoritically that helped me understand a few things, thank you. I will see if I'm not too lazy to actually do something about my situation from now on.
