Strong learning starts in your mind, but you can still use tools to make it easier and more effective.
Over the years I've been reading and writing, I have found 6 tools that change how I work.
No gimmicks.
No consumerism.
But real, quality supplements to my learning.
And the best part is their price. For a small investment, you gain a lifelong asset in your self-education.

I concur with the utility of the desk organizer. When I had to work from home on a desk with inadequate space for my tasks, I did get a desk organizer (actually, a spinning makeup organizer - it had a smaller footprint) and it was a significant help. Whether it’s struggling to use an ineffective interface, or having to find a highlighter on a cluttered desk, you shouldn’t have to expend any mental energy on the tools you use. Ideally, no aspect of the tools you use should distract from the process.

My biggest helper is to always have a notebook and pen or SOMETHING to write with manually when I get some kind of idea. It can be literally any idea, but when it comes to learning I will often write down a question to delve deeper into a subject. Also if I'm using pencils I either have multiple sharpened at once so I don't have to stop in the middle of something to sharpen. If I'm using mechanical pencils I check the barrel at the beginning of each session to make sure there is at least one extra stick of graphite loaded into it. It may seem like overkill to check every time, but if that habit is developed you will never make the mistake of running yourself out of graphite. Especially if you keep multiple pencils in multiple locations. So I suppose a big part of this suggestion is to keep backstock. Or "have more than you need." Not in a hoarding kind of way, to be clear. Just make sure you have enough around that if you go over what you expect to need for a project or any given month, or whatever your metric is for what is need, you are not detrimentally resolved to end your session/study/learning to go get more supplies. When that happens it feels somewhat similar to when you go to the store for ingredients to make a special dinner and after getting home and starting to cook the meal you realize you forgot to get the single onion you need.

Any good video recommendation that helped you?

that little χωριατικη on your board reminded me (as a reference to one of your previous videos) how I consciously abandoned learning greek in favor of more useful for me due to my occupation chinese and turkish, which pains me greatly, what a dramatic switch, but alas... My brain is not getting any younger and those two are way easier (judging by my tiredness after a lesson). Next on my quit list is the church choir, which is very demanding in terms of time and especially weekend time, it also reminds me of quitting greek which is very hurtful just like that whiteboard of yours.

0:41 The thing with this is I wouldn’t go through many books at all if it weren’t for audiobooks. I’ve employed your mini essay strategy with obsidian and have finished ~47 books this year and written mini essays on about a 3rd of them( series’ like Harry potter or Divergent got only one essay). Anyway I’m not sure how to effectively bookmark audiobooks but I’ve been trying to become more diligent about writing my notes on interesting tidbits while I listen, which can be difficult because perhaps I’m driving or working out. Are all the books you consume physical or do you listen to Audiobooks as well?

5:22 LOL I know the feeling... I've also got myself a book stand for exactly the same reasons you mentioned, and I've also ended up not using it a whole lot. However one benefit I found it have is keeping my books in the view whenever I glance away from the computer. I just put something I'm reading or want to read there and it's stays at the eye-level - much better than having it lying down on the desk (and probably away from view) - and keeps the book at the forefront of my mind. For example right now Atomic Habits is there so it reminds me of some of the principles and the notes I've been taking from the book recently. // By the way, since you use Obsidian a lot - do you have a process for forming connections between your new and old notes? It's pretty easy when all the related notes are recent, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do the same for notes I'd taken a long time ago...
@odysseas__
@odysseas__ 3 ай бұрын
That's a great point, keeps it fresh in your mind to think about. As for obsidian, I do my best to include obvious keywords in the name of the note, so when it comes to searching for similar ones, they pop up easily. I also use tags to give an extra layer of searchability. You can also look at the notes within that tag too see any possible connections

Heya. Yours is among the realest, strongest content on KZbin. Really excellent stuff. So I thought I would point out some things that might be getting in the way. - background wall - decide on the set: if it's the whiteboard, then feature it and center it - desk - you need to expand upon that concept of a desk organizer ☺️ - if you clear up your desk and feature only the things which you advocate, for instance the book stand, etc, it'll enhance your videos essays - repetitive point-making - tighten your scripts - graphics aesthetics - select a comprehensive style of font & images (the fine art style is really nice) that can give your videos a simple, distinct and consistent look - lists & points of advice - repeat and add to onscreen as you go, so we keep track of our screenshot your points - video thumbnails - select a consistent one (your art & books style perhaps) - stock video clips - maybe not at all, or rather ditch the generic "person doing something" ones and select specifically themed ones per video (nonperson ones tend to be less distracting) - timing - 9 mins seems to encompass everything you need to say in your mini essays 😉, and the longer, the more it borders on repetition - last, while this might seem trivial, I swear to you that investing in video lighting will instantly auto elevate your channel - your appearance, cadence & pace are perfect. I already consider your jersey and eyeglasses iconic. Please feel free to ignore or delete this comment, just wanted to contribute as I could to a channel that clearly deserves big things.

In the example you show, it looked like you used 2 different colored index tabs. Does one color mean one thing and the other color someone else?

I'm always surprised absolutely no one mentions Google Notes as an organizing system. I mean it's not that advanced, but I use it daily for groceries, to do lists or as a telephone log.

Based on usage, investing in a good pen seems like a good idea. Or do you prefer pencils? Great video. Convinced me to give Obsidian a go.

I am tired of mixed understandings on recollection...I hear you, and many who agree with you but then there is Erih Fromm, whom I recall saying writing things down is to forget, I.e. in the way of pure conciousness. I can see both sides with valid points. Strange it is to decipher this for personal understanding..Iuse to do this white board "thing".

Thanks for your videos. One question: how come the big nodes in your graph have different colours (red, yellow and blue)? How can I get that?
@odysseas__
@odysseas__ Ай бұрын
Thanks -you can do this by going to the graph view settings, then in the 'groups' section, creating new groups and typing 'path:' + a folder you have, which then lets you change their colour.

How can you say it is not important which note taking app you choose. It has direct effect on your thinking. If some things like mindmapping are cumbersome in the app, you get a blind spot in your thinking, you will overlook a bunch of things and kneecap your learning big time.

You're right, I mean it in the sense that most perform the same and it's easy to get distracted by the choice, rather than sitting down and doing the work

Obsidian has the potential to be complicated, but if you choose to use the basics only, it's easy to learn. My video on the topic is one of the simpler approaches I think.

I used notion before, and am still slowly transferring notes over. It's slow, but I find it helps me remind myself of old ideas anyway so it's worth it. You can do it for a few minutes a day and before you know it, it's all done
