SO MANY CONGRATULATIONS on becoming a doctor!!! I'm in my first year of pre-med at age 38, and your channel is really helping me and inspiring me. Thank you so much!

[@lowiekey]

I 100% prefer the longer videos! I miss the examples and connections you usually make in this video!

[@peterdessev536]

Agreed. In this video specifically, I am having a hard time understanding how to structure and use a Human Digest, which to me is the key point in this video. Though I don't mind the shorter format, I think that a longer explanation, or maybe one or two examples for only one key point in the video would go a long way in improving the applicability of the information presented in it.

[@SylwekGrega]

Same, I wish she showed an example of the last topic.

[@mariasoto-fl6lf]

Yes yes pleaaase

[@misslayer999]

Agree

[@e.t9403]

I agree, I had a hard time understanding how to navigate the 4 different stages of the semester and I feel like a longer video would have gone further on that topic

quick summary - Stages of learning (more info in [gamification] - I didn't really understand it well so, I will write what I get - first stage high motivated due the novelty (see what the lecture about) - second stage high motivated due the Curiosity (learn core basics) - third stage low motivation due the routine - fourth stage High motivation with a sense of urgency (Exams) - do easy and enjoyable task before hard ones (that will give you a momentum) - - make the new information simple - very brief +simple words (core basics) - now you have the core basics you can add more information to it and make everything stronger and less forgettable

[@tonidebcn]

You're a nice and intelligent person. So what do I need to say about the duration of your videos? Nothing, I watch them because they're always interesting. If they are "very long" I watch them partially in several days. You choose your creativity, you choose your path. Everything is fine for me. Thanks for not publishing the so obvious videos that are everywhere in KZbin. Your approach is more natural, profound and not clickbaity. Congratulations for being finally a doctor. I hope you don't leave us forever although I understand you will have a lot less time the moment you begin practicing. Love ❤

[@user-cg7zn8ey5k]

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm glad to see that you've now graduated. Hopefully we will continue to get videos in the future.

[@jeffersonadams8711]

While I've been tested for ADHD and always come back negative, I've still struggled with focusing my entire life. That being said, I actually prefer your _longer_ videos because you are able to expand on concepts in greater detail and that helps me learn and retain knowledge better.

[@jdak537]

Since ADHD appears different in different people, even though you've been tested before, you might not have been assessed in the right way. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, but the assessment took about two months. However, there can be other causes of focus and attention issues... biological, neurological, or other (hormonal imbalance, sleep disorders, etc). There are also other cognitive disorders which are not yet included in the diagnostic manual. I know of one called Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome which appears very much like (and is believed to be often comorbid with) ADHD. It just doesn't meet the same diagnostic criteria. Don't give up trying to find out what is affecting you, and looking for what can help you.

[@philipgilliam3400]

Don’t worry Ms. Filips, this was definitely not too long. You could go on for another hour, and I would be listening with pen and paper in hand and hungry for more. Your efforts have earned my ardent appreciation. Anything that illuminates the dark machinations of my motivational processes is a very welcome enlightenment. Thank you🎉 Cheers!

[@JovialJolaChip]

Congratulations, Dr. Elizabeth Filips! You are one of the very few KZbinrs who I trust and find genuine. I hope that you keep inspiring the people around you and keep making them proud.

[@RobertPlank]

This video was eye-opening! Here are the big things I learned: 1) Motivation beats consistency. It's wild how motivation can make a huge difference in how well we learn. 2) The idea that momentum is better than sheer willpower when it comes to tackling tasks really spoke to me. Starting with fun tasks sounds like a smart way to keep moving. 3) Crafting a "human digest" to simplify and connect information is a game-changer for deeper learning. 4) The motivation cycle was fascinating-breaks as a strategy to keep fresh is golden. Love how you blend science with personal stories! Keep it up!

[@haco31415]

I thank you for having enough courage to talk about "discipline is not everything..." and explaining that depending on "motivation work" really works when you have enough awarness about how to use your motivation. The things in your videos about motivation or soft disicipline really works for me. Hope you have a great life.

[@AgrimSharma05]

your videos never fail to motivate and inspire me they are incredibly insightful, uplifting, and always brighten my day, I am profoundly grateful for the dedication and hard work you put into creating such exceptional content your passion and brilliance shine through every video please continue to enlighten and inspire us with your phenomenal work

I think both the short and long videos are good, depending on my brain's mood (how much information it is willing to intake), but seeing you so passionate about the topics (more so in long videos) is very contagious!!

I love your long form videos. You don’t ramble you communicate clearly and thoroughly. Congratulations on your accomplishments.

your videos are a nice reminder to me that we do not fit in to productivity advices but we have to find and create productivity systems that adapt to us. I have been dread studying and having a routine that is the same as i find it boring and hard to follow and i feel so guilty about it. You make made my day i am going to try and adapt this type of system. thank you for sharing this. And I love your long videos ,sometimes I get lost in them but the video you made on beauty standards was really good, i loved it.

[@damatmatman]

My first reaction (streamline of consciousness) was it was a bit harder to follow then what I’d listen to awhile back but towards the middle it started to resonate more. I only listened while I did laundry so I can’t speak on the video part. Probably gonna give a second listen cause I’m not sure I retained everything. Side note that could be a benefit to make people rewatch, but I have a feeling your channels been based on more, good luck with the algorithm battles

[@damatmatman]

I might actually like the rambling, not everyone’s talking about what you are or from the perspective that you have so access to more of suppose vs just informative

[@ursulaclarke6066]

I agree with you, if I do the smaller more fun tasks, then I build up to the gnarly tasks. I’ve never been good at tackling the hard tasks first.

[@10e999]

Not sure if it's helpful, but: you're the only productivity channel I watch! The idea of integrating the emotional state inside the productivity method is novel to me. (at least before watching your content) There's nothing quite like it on KZbin. It's like when I first learn about Deep work in ~2010. keep it up!

[@ksubasinghe]

Why am I cryingggg? Congratulations, Elizabeth!❤

[@heyrobin]

I like your longer rambling videos but you're right, they are difficult to comprehend in one sitting. I've often watched your videos more than once to increase my understanding. I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos and would not want you to decrease depth although I do realize you would likely get your message out to more people if you did.

What a fantastic and clear overview of controlling the chaos of willpower and energy day-to-day and throughout the day. Definitely got me thinking about new ways to prioritize tasks and approach my TODO list. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@Jibly1643]

I really enjoyed this shorter video, although, like many others have said, if a video is longer, I will just designate time to dive in when I am able to because the topics you cover pique my interest. This video felt like a human digest in itself. I think a follow-up video providing more examples and connections of ways to implement this strategy would be super cool.

Hi will you become honest friend just friend?

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Many, many congratulations to you for graduating as a doctor. I was pressured into following this career path-- I didn't, eventually-- but I will always respect those who put in years of hard grind to join such an honourable and valuable profession. Well done to you. I personally prefer long videos, as long as the content is to the point. I have watched many videos from this channel. I am astonished by how much of your advice here is resonating with me. I thought that I did best with consistent systems and so on, but yesterday, I wrote an article with 6331 words in a few hours yesterday and had it posted. Yet I have not written anything like that for months on end. I kept thinking I needed a "system" in place to write. It has only recently dawned on me that such demands are actually keeping me from writing. I also junked a "system" for learning languages after getting hooked on a German movie and often staying up late to learn more in the most undisciplined way possible-- à la Richard Feynman. Now this video has made me realise why I am failing to finish short stories. It's motivation that's necessary, and I need to work with that. Great video!

[@fcohen8296]

Congratulations, Elizabeth! I do realize that you've "concentrated" your video and I like it. I still have a bit of an issue applying what I learn from you because you are way smarter than me and I find it difficult to actually fit what you are saying into my own daily issues

[@loxleybattle2591]

I would have loved an example of a short overview memory device like you talked about at the end- purely conceptualizing what that could look like was too vague. Overall great video. I think I prefer the longer ones, or an immediate follow up video on each facet you covered here. And congratulations 🎉

[@marabanara]

CONGRATULATIONS!! I haven’t seen you on my home page for a long time, and I was curious and found this- you DID it!!! In terms of length, I love both styles of video, but I will say because I have issues with focus and attention, this one was perfect.

Congrats on becoming a doctor! It is truly a privilege and one of the best aspects about my life - to take care of patients in their most vulnerable moments.

[@HexarRF]

Congratulations! Has been fascinating to watch your journey. Still amazed you could study, research learning, and post KZbin videos! As to your question, yes I prefer the short form but if the additional distillation means less frequent posting, then I would rather have the long videos. Thank you for all that you've shared.

The condensed information is helpful to stay on topic. Your information has always been massively helpful for someone, who has rarely met someone similar. Details on memorization would be helpful or different ways to memorize. The books suggestions are extremely helpful, too.

[@samamirrezaie6438]

First off, congrats doctor! Second, I love how informative your videos are, and how they are not "just another video" out there. They've always covered everything, and although you didn't fail to achieve the same results with a shorter video, please don't make them shorter than 15 mins. I don't think that would cut it for videos with this amount of information. I also think it has become your style to create relatively long videos, and I'm sure it is loved by many of us. I know it is loved by me! Amazing editing and content as always, love everything about it :)

Congratulations, Dr. Filips! 🙂 Pascal famously said, "If I'd had more time, I'd have written a shorter letter," but that doesn't mean all communications should be short. It just means they shouldn't be longer than they need to be. If you've looked at your past videos and felt like they could have been more focused and concise, then they probably could have. If that makes you want to tighten up future videos, I think that's great. As a fan, however, I also encourage you not to worry about it too much. I always feel like your videos are information-dense, and I never feel like they're wasting my time. So if *_you_* want to do shorter, more tightly-focused videos in the future, go for it, but I don't think you need to do it for *_our_* sakes. 🙂

Wow, what an incredible achievement! Not only to get through medical school, but to give so much support and help to all the divergent thinkers out there (myself included) at the same time! Personally, I try to share your ideas as widely as possible - the ripples of positive impact stretch FAR beyond what you'll ever see. To answer your question, I will watch anything that you put out, you've earned that level of credibility. It is a great exercise to try to condense your videos, but ultimately, people will gravitate to you when you're in your element. No matter what you do, don't EVER take your own pleasure or joy out of the equation just because it may be more digestible to others! We love you when you're in your joy, nut just the information you share or how concise you are with it. Make sense?

[@devinbarry]

Excellent video. I feel like the learning, concentration and motivation style you talk about is very similar to mine. I think I am somewhat ADHD and thus tasks must be interesting for me to work hard at them. If they’re interesting then my ADHD brain can give me unlimited focus and the effort I am putting in comes easy. If the task is boring or requires the discipline you talk about it’s much more difficult to focus and to have the motivation I need to get the task complete. Thanks for the video and congratulations! The NHS needs you badly, I’m sure will be a brilliant doctor
