How I SAVE 10+ Hours a Week By Prestudying (The New Way I Study)

[@狸貓-z9d]

so its how priming works, not about the detail but the structure, how things connect and relate to each other, where should I put them in. Why it is important. And look at different resources at onece inorder to discover their relationships.

@@ArcherNewton Hi, I've watched a large amount of your videos. One question I ask you: in the video you said that you use chunking to break down, this helps you to create a hierarchy then you will use mindmaps in the next step. But I find that this approach resembles linear notation. Is the difference here the chunking? Would you group keywords into a group that makes sense to you? assuming that the linear note-taking approach is: heading, subheading, main point 1, main point2. So how can I chunking?

Hi, Archer. Your name is easy to remember. I just picture you as an archer shooting down an apple that lands on Sir Isaac Newton's head. I'm a 70-year old retiree, lifelong learner with some health issues. My background is a former CPA/CFO. I take a lot of courses (mostly for fun) but don't take too many exams. This information is very relevant, helpful and constructive for me. I love to do mind mapping and am doing that in my Bible studies, which I share with other people. I just did one on the Inter-testamentary Period. Thank you & I look forward to learning more and more from you!

You're the 2nd person (elizabeth filips also has a great video) i've heard talk about pre-studying in the frame of letting your curiosity guide your learning rather than going methodically through the lecture details (which has always been super time-consuming and turned me off pre-studying). You've convinced me to give your method a try!

Summary Pre study= save time 1) what is pre study Prestudy is not Early study. Prestudy = structural priming= arrange+ organize information+ into chunks with relation to each other. Leave out the nitty gritty details. 2) how to do it A) use your learning objectives to guide you B) use your text book and Google to answer those questions in a superficial manner C) find out why the information is important D) try to categorize the information into the schema you created. Preferably in a mind map form E) don't be afraid of being wrong. You can change it after doing actual study. F) prestudy as much content as possible so you can see the relationships between more topics. This helps you create the bigger picture. 3) why should you pre study. - finding out the relevance + relationship between the info you are studying helps you remember the info better (retrieval). ----- Hi pgy6 doctor here. Good job mate, love you content. The only thing I disagree with is the length of time to spend prestudying. I tend to take prestudy pretty seriously and I would dedicate at least 4-5 hours of continuous study because I think having an idea of the bigger picture is THAT important. An additional thing I do with prestudy is to create a Roman room/use the journey method so I can chuck my mnemonics into them easily when I am actually studying. Any tip I would like to give is to use either an infinite canvas app,( or use a giant A2 /A1 drawing block if you are old school like me) when making the mind map. Nothing pisses me off more than running out of space and having to squeeze info into increasingly tiny words, or worse still having to use another piece of paper( using another piece of paper kinda breaks the connection in mh brain imo)

[@hikikomorihachiman7491]

Thank you very much

[@narsinghyadav1071]

I think he meant that you don't need that much time to prime. You're just looking up definitions to help with structuring superficially. Priming is important but if it's taking that much time, chances are, that you're not doing it correctly. (I watched a short about it on Justin Sung's channel, if you know him). Maybe it also depends on content but generally it should not be taking that much time... Idk that's what I know

[@sapnanayak1453]

Hi Archer, a new subbie hear. You mentioned that you shouldn't spend a lot of time on pre-studying, what according to you is too much time? Is 2 hours, 3 hours a day too much time spent on pre-studying? Also is the mind-mapping video out yet?

Hi Archer, thank you so much for this amazing video about pre-studying. I can see that you are using Notion for priming; in terms of academia, do you use Notion/note taking apps in general only for prestudying and nothing more? Since I would imagine mindmapping is quite different from the hierarchical structure that Notion offers.

[@ezrachow3112]

Thanks for the video! I’m also currently in my second year of medical school and would like to start applying these techniques to studying. When doing prestudy, how do you know how many lectures to prestudy at once? For example I am in the GI module now where lectures are broken up into physiology, pathology, and pathophysiology. When pre-studying would you look at the learning objectives for all the pathology lectures for example, and then study all those lectures at once even if they haven’t yet been covered in person?

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi Ezra, sorry for my really late reply here. Hopefully things have gone well. It’s a tough question to answer but I would try prestudy all of them together as they’re all very related before fully going through all the lectures

[@JohnVianneyPatron]

Just like his mentor Justin Sung this video is 90% of crapping on other methods, 8% of describing the "what" of the theory of priming (including the promise that is 10 times more effective than studying without), and 2% of "what" priming looks like. If you want to learn "how" (the "higher order learning" that creates the understanding automatically, as these two gurus harp about) to actually do the method theres no doubt a $50/month subscription fee. Sung's smoke and mirrors technique seems to be quite lucrative, if he has people actually copying his selling practices so closely! What would be the difference between "priming" and simply reading the textbook chapter before the lecture? And as for "chunking" doesn't the textbook author already provide headings and subheadings? Goodluck with your business Archer!

Hi Archer. This technique seems to work well when finding relationships between concepts in a given topic. But how would you then link the cardiovascular system to other topics following the Notion toggles/mind mapping principle? As you mention "How is it related to 'Y'?" as an important question in inquiry-based learning.

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi! This is why Notion is semi-helpful in this process and gets in the way at this point, there are so many relationships between topics that toggles only allow for unidirectional relationships. By using a relational-priority mindmap you're able to represent these connections far better
