=== Notes ===
In the thousands of students I've worked with, there are some fundamental techniques or APPROACHES to studying that tend to produce better results.
These are the 5 techniques and attributes that I have seen to be critical milestones in a learner's development.
Whether you're a beginner looking to become a more efficient student or an already top achiever pursuing even further self-improvement, these 5 steps are things that I think can benefit you.
1. Priming/prestudy - priming as I mentioned is a big topic and shouldn't be thought of simply as "prestudy". Whatever notion you have of prestudy to begin with should be abandoned. See if the way I explain it is the same as how you understand it.
2. Event engagement - in class or lecture. What are you doing to increase your effectiveness in the primary learning event? How much control do you exert here?
3. Post-event review - when do you do it and...
4. Review technique - HOW do you consolidate the information in your post-event review.
5. Pre-exam or test preparation - are you using this time effectively, or just creating an illusion of preparation?

Video Starts at 7:55 Summary : 1. Priming (Almost like pre-studying but not the same) →Skim through the content of your book/lecture notes to get a grasp on the bigger picture. So that connections become easier while learning the contents step-by-step. 2. Event (Something like a lecture happening where you acquire information) →Ask many questions as possible (To yourself or out loud) and also remember, ask more *Why/How come* questions than *What* questions. →Note down the topics you had trouble understanding and make them central while revising. →Delayed Note Taking : Take notes of a subject a few moments after the lecturer talks about it. So that it can create a sort of confusion in your head called Cognitive Load and makes studying much more effective. Make mindmaps!!! →(Extra Personal Tip : Try to navigate through the Bigger picture framework in your head while following throught the lecture) 3. Revision and Consolidation →Revise the contents in 12 hours (after the event) →Make it challenging in a meaningful way. Aka Actively recall content (dont re-read ur notes). Try to make mindmaps (with rlly few words) or TEACH (Its so damn useful bro ngl). Edit : (Bonus Tip from one of the replies) *Association* : As the name suggests, it's basically connecting the new topics you learn, with what you are already familiar with. It will help in visualizing, remembering/memorising easier and will help retain information for a longer duration of time. Revision of associations are very crucial and they must be written down next to the content you are learning so that you don't forget about the associations made and get to revise them every single time you go through them. (Thanks to the dude who added this in the replies-)

Summary: Threshold concepts - core concepts which, when understood, transform a student's understanding a whole subject; suddenly able to see it in a way that you weren't able to before - provide a barrier to understanding a concept a certain way - different from just difficult concepts (concepts that are hard to wrap your head around) - cause lightbulb moments Learning is recursive and excursive - recursive - certain things make more sense the more you learn it - like puzzle pieces coming together over time - excursive - a journey that allows for deviations - don't have to learn everything the best way the first time - learning is messy and very nonlinear Active learning - way to tap into threshold concepts (games, quizzes, group discussion, etc.) - keeps us engaged about the topic, rather than passive learning (letting the information be absorbed just by reading) 1. Priming; prestudy - ability to look at a piece of information and quickly scan the text first, rather than take it all in at once, and get a framework on how to approach learning the material before we even know what to know - headings, diagrams, important images, etc - simple wireframe on how to big picture comes together - don't get sucked into all the detail; you will lose big picture - will have easier lightbulb moments; faster learning 2. Learning event - takes effort to learn - if not paying attention, the information will just be thrown at you, and you won't retain any of it - ask questions very frequently about what information just came into the brain - some questions are higher yield than others: try to ask "why" and "how" questions, as they relate back to the big picture 3. Revisions - optimal time for first revision is within 12 hours of the learning event - sleep dependent memory consolidation - study before you go to bed so you can "study in your sleep" 4. Technique - extenuate relationships of small details with big picture - take info from lecture and priming and create a mindmap with it - make notes nonverbal (not many words) - make notes reasonably minimal - writing too many notes reduces cognitive load (level of confusion in brain); we want to optimize level of confusion - delayed note taking - keep info in our head, think about it, let confusion set it, ask questions, simplify the info, and write the simplified info down - can skip initial note taking - do simplification in head; trains brain to not rely on writing things down to learn 5. Revision - make sure it is always challenging - use recall (take from memory alone, rather than just recognizing it) - revise in a different way each time - DON'T REREAD NOTES - not challenging; recognition - rewriting notes purely from memory is good; rerepresenting notes with diagrams, mindmaps, etc. is better - teaching is very good - forces you to recall, draw and annotate while you teach, look at big picture to figure out what the best way to teach the topic is - spaced repetition, flashcards, mindmaps, active listening and reading, effective priming

Dont know how many people may see this, but this very video of his made me watch all his videos, past streams, and podcasts cause everything he said make sense. Coming into my first semester of uni I finished with a tragic 3.3 gpa (4.0 scale) and realized I had to do better, so I studied mindmaps and put into practice everything he said slowly during my second semester for the first 2 months. During those 2 months, I was implementing new techniques and basically changing up my whole study methods which took so much energy and brain power, but after the struggle it was worth it. Ive definitely gotten better and more familiar with mindmaps and how to think big picture and was able to carry that till the end of my first year. I ended second semester with all A's (3 A+'s) and finished a spring class being top of the class (A+ as well). I cant thank you enough Justin. Gl to those who seek improvement, hang in there and be consistent.

@@moustafael-shaboury2659 Hey I dont remember exactly which streams exactly but what I did was take notes for each video/stream I watched of his (not everysingle one) and kinda went through the notes in my head to make sure everything made sense to me. Like for example, ill explain why something he said is the way it is, if I cant that means I don't inherently understand it by myself, let alone apply it to my studying in the future right? SO my biggest tip, is no matter what video u watch just make sure U make the most out of it by taking notes and making sure u know why things are the way it is. If u cant, go back to the vid and relearn it. Basically, understanding an d being able to see those theory and thinking about how it applies to ur studies and situation is more important than just watching a bunch of his videos passively, hope that makes sense, gl on ur journey!!

So in summery, if you can learn right now, do it right now! Correct? Or even more radical? Should I stay up all night to learn, knowing that I only have a few months left for the college entrance exam? I did that and it wasn't good for my health. Plus, I tend to forget most things I learnt after finishing the exams and I want to remember these lessons long term.

[@humester]

If a book has questions at the end of a chapter, it is best to read them first before skimming through the chapter as you suggest. Reading the questions first primes you for what is considered important by the author, so that even when just scanning through the chapter for the first time those questions will prime your brain to catch those important points right away.

WINTERESTING! 🥶

[@ingore9021]

Here's a summary: Core questions: - How do you have deep learning? First, what is deep learning? Deep learning is trying to find more creative connections between different concepts. How is important? It allows us to remember the concepts better, increase the enjoyment within the particular subject, and it shows that we understood the material. A way to apply this is through the use of mindmaps, which are sorta like a tree where the leaves are the concepts, the branches are the connections, and the trunk is the core concept. - Understand core concepts What are core concepts? These are concepts, once understood, allow you to view the material in a different light. How are they important? This is basically information that is integral to what you are learning, such as in Calculus the integral concepts would be: Integrals, Derivatives, and Limits and once you understand those, the rest of the subsets of those concepts would be much easier to understand. - So what is the learning process? First, we need to understand that learning is recursive. What is recursive learning? Learning isn't linear which means that you might understand something better by reading a textbook from back to front then front to back. Since the textbook isn't the way that everyone best understands the material, it's how best the person writing it sees the material. Also when you are stuck on a problem, it may help to go back to another problem which different concepts and try and find the connections, because there's a possibility that the connections found from this different concept are the ones that you need to use to solve the current problem.

To add on to delayed note taking, sometimes during on-the-job training, we have to learn a lot about the workplace policies and how to operate their softwares. It can be overwhelming to write everything down. Being in the moment, trying to learn by clicking the buttons and how they work can help grasp the concept by actively learning!

I’m two weeks into training and I don’t think I have been so stressed in years!

Priming raises a context for questions so that once the answers come in, they can be hung onto this contextual tree. It avoids mind clutter and helps keep good order in your thoughts from the beginning.

[@haraldcarlsten6238]

I am a double degree old guy who always been very interested in learning and the way we learn. I would just like to make some reflections on this. Firstly: I believe that you need to find your own study technique. Mind mapping for example has been help up very high for many decades now. And for some people it might work. But not for me. I wasted time when studying following this technique. I am more a note and drawing kind of person. My mind do not go well together with these large schemas. But my mind really appreciate this big picture view technique you started with. That is essential and somewhat scary (done the right way). That you explore the subject before you start studying. With it comes interesting effects. You are half way through the material and suddenly you start to grasp things you haven't really read because that was things which you stored kind of subconsciously (even though I don't really believe in such a thing...) when doing this overview reading. Justin, keep up the good work!

[@jorgesanabria6484]

This video is special. The way the Feynman technique is just a *part* of the strategy just shows the depth of the research. Amazing.

[@user-de7sl2by2t]

Priming. That is why when I miss the first 10 minutes or so of a class on a brand-new topic, I get confused the whole class. This not only shows the importance of this technique, but it also shows how much I rely on this technique while not knowing about it. It makes a lot of sense why priming is fundamental to learning, and it also stunned me how I never thought of this. It happened so many times! While priming is the step I'm good at, the event, revision, revision techniques, and pre-exam revision are all things I really need to work on. I don't actively ask why/how questions in my mind during classes. Most of the time, I just try to understand. I don't do revision, like, at all, let alone revision in 12 hours. The techniques. Sure, I use recall, but I believe there's more. Pre-exam revisions. Who would have known the best way to do that is not recognition but recall?

The information in this video is organized so incredibly well and that only further solidifies your points. I’ve trued a few of these methods and they’re definitely very effective. Especially teaching. I remember the times I’d be standing around acting like I’m explaining a topic to someone and it would be so effective, not just to help me recall, but also in pointing oht weaknesses in my own understanding of the material. This video is exact compilation of all the best techniques that every learner needs

[@kahfeekamilla7631]

This is so interesting, I used all of these methods organically in Secondary School. When I did final revision I used to write out everything I knew on a paper then check my notes to see in I missed anything then review only what I missed. I would also tear the pages out of my note book and toss them in a bin as a kind of victory gesture that I mastered the information. I must admit in graduate school I relied too much on note taking as the volume of work increased. Time to revisit my old study methods. This should go well. Thank you.

Thank you. Love the part you confirm learning is not linear . A thing that works for me very well is to do a little fable with some images to start my mind map. I learned it from the book the monk who sold his Ferrari. Thank you for this video I think it summarizes the core principles you develop in other videos . I’m glad your channel is growing. best regards from Bolivia 🇧🇴

I just came over this and I gotta say that I need to try all of these

[@woyubryna2118]

Thanks alot for the video it is Wonderful I realized I was studying wrong hopefully this will get me starting on the right path again.✨

Great video.I am taking B-Tech in electrical and electronics engineering and am struggling with concepts being thought in class and looking for new ways to improve all the time.And thanks for this video and am going to give it all my best and try these techniques for 3months straight and see how it goes. Hello to everyone from West Africa, GHANA🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 to be precise.

Excellent video. Very helpful. Thank you!

[@michaellarsen9334]

This made a lot of sense with how I learned unconsciously when I was a kid, thanks.

[@georgegannon39]

[@joelletinnock7227]

Incredible tips, thank you!!

[@marcochiga798]

would be great to see this in practice!

[@elgato-uo1iz]

very helpful video! i looked up threshold concepts and wow, its so eye opening. from this point on, i feel motivated and i will be more intentional to learn effectively

[@TimeLordRaps]

Never really level 4 thought about questions to ask of instructors which explains a lot. Like the prioritization of what question to ask, was always at best ask relationary questions towards adjacent topics as a means to expand my own space of consumption of ideas. However it tended more than not to generally lead to more questions to be asked than would be answered, many responses of thats a great question, and notes during the moment.

5 Attributes: 1st: Priming Scan the text, try and find the bigger picture. Usually the big picture is found on the objectives side or main idea points if it's a textbook. 2nd: Become engaged Make sure to ask a lot of questions: ASK A FRICK TON OF QUESTIONS Since we already understood the bigger picture from the 1st step, use why or how questions to make the connections. 3rd: Review or Consolidate Revise the notes, or the information, make sure to do it usually a day after. Which allows you to remember the information better. 4 and 5 Make sure you understand the material and try and learn the material differently which means to apply to concepts to different problems which means that it's going to stick better and shows you have a through grasp of the material.,

I usually do #1, 4, 5

[@harshirasohra4571]

But do not force questions too much, unless they are natural the benefit to effort ratio is pretty low. As unnatural questions require a tremendous will power, which makes one burn out soon. Its just what I observed. DON'T take my advice at face value, because everybody has unique composition of mind.

[@sadiq7991]

your channel was recommended to me by a friend, I've been studying terribly wrong all my life 💀 definitely gonna try these out 👌

[@justelynnnjoelle]

Thank you for this informative video, I'm gonna need all the help I can get

[@mpkxi549]

Surprisingly I had some of the traits which made me feel like i was a good student 😁 but of course i had some that i didn’t have, Now i know what to improve on, priming and the 12 hour time period, which after i think about it is most of the video 🙃

[@blauerfisch]

Great tips! Thanks a lot! 🙏

[@tulmajok3562]

Imagine splitting facts for 23 minutes Nice video bro keep uploading 😊

[@scarletth8211]

Good advice, thanks!!

[@ImprovementGang]

For the #2 tip, make sure that you give yourself permission to “feel” that you dont know anything. The point is to identify what you DONT know

[@Idyll_Insomniac]

I actively tried writing as few notes as possible in my latest linear algebra unit. Tried drawing to save on words. Still ended up with 22 pages of notes from an 80 page document. And that was without doing the exercises. Definitely using the holiday break to overhaul my note-taking.

[@josipagabud1953]

This was really helpful. Thank you :)

[@rosiewatson681]

one of the best things that ive started doing is phrasing notes as questions, most of my "notes" are quizlets which allows me to then use them much more effectively

[@revstiles]

Very much appreciate your efforts, will start applying to my teaching methods... STAT

[@RealProfessionalHumanBeing]

This is so helpful. Thank you so much.

[@belsheikh]

13:00 I read in the book "make it stick" that actually the opposite is more beneficial. The more you let some forgetting happens, the more effort you exert trying to remember, the stronger the material is reconsolidated, which actually makes sense if you think about it. If you revised the material right after you studied it, you basically just rehearse it and it is easier to retrieve. In the long run, spacing the practice will prove to be more benificial.

[@zoe_paw]

Consolidating what you've learned after a lesson can help to reinforce the information in your memory, but spacing out your learning sessions over time can help to promote more durable and long-term retention of the material. After you consolidate the topic, you can then space out your learning sessions by revisiting the material at increasing intervals, such as a day, a week, a month, and so on. This can help to reinforce the information in your memory and improve your ability to recall it over the long term.

Thank you this was really helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrDidymus88]

Excellent!!! Thank you!!!

[@everythingnothing2978]

Thank you for the tips 😊

[@abaysyzdykov6858]

relaxation and meditation are important. Multimodal learning important too. Analogies and humour working in order to improve the engagement

[@rasifrahim7210]

This was a great and really helpful video. Thanks a lot
