BTW if you need to study from textbooks then taking notes without reading a textbook fully might help

[@kukuno]

writing this for myself. 1. increase physiological arousal ⠀ (move around) 2. induce panic ⠀ (set deadlines) 3. set an emotional response ⠀ (build a sense of purpose. you can transform learning material into a story) 4. regenerate dopamine ⠀ (doing nothing/freaking out/doing something you hate) 5. decrease motivation needed to get started ⠀ (using AI to get the first draft so you have something to start working on) 6. using different methods to learn the same thing ⠀ (auditory, visual, etc.) 7. construct memory links ⠀ (associate new material with existing information/memories. e.g. mind maps. ChatMind AI) 8. AI tools to use: ⠀ Speechify, InVideo, HubSpot,

[@purbashamahato1245]

I have big problems with the set of deadlines. Back in the past I was very responsible and was doing EVERYTHING to do all things in time. But now, even when I have super important deadlines I just..don`t give a sh- This causes a lot of problems and becomes like a snowball that rolls and rolls over again. I don`t know what o do and how to be as responsible as before. it just feels like my mind switched off the "responsibility button" 😮‍💨

[@jianyoonglearns]

This is pretty useful for someone looking to study again with a full time job!

[@AgnesRiley]

Agreed, that's what I'm doing, too.

[@enlightenthyself]

You should study always irrespective of job or no job ... 😊

[@ArchibaldIronfist_]

This extremely helped me: you need a complete distinction between your studying and relaxing routine. For example, I'm using two browsers. One is for study content. PURELY studying, not the Jordan Huberman's stoic videos. I even have two google accounts to avoid trash content pop up on my study account recommendation (I push "Don't recommend cahnnel" if I see this). The second one is for relaxing content. You need to somehow limit any access to anything that distracts you. Like go studying in library (not at home). While in a library put your phone in your bag (not on your table) etc. More limitations you have, the better result is. Basicaly it feels like you have no choice but studying. However, i'd avoid studying really fast (unless you're revising for exams). There was a time when I used to read almost every day, while usually I read only once a week. There was a huge difference in results. I almost forgot the book I was reading every day. Even revising didn't help. You either slow down, or focus on some other things instead. There should be a gap between studying if you want to remember anything.

This entire video was meant for me I really needed this and I appreciate you making a video for all the people like me that feel like they are stupid when really not everyone learns the same way and I like how you said it in such a kind manner instead of saying it in a mean way omg this was literally so pure and kind definitely subscribing and I will definitely use these methods and see how they work for me btw your not the only one that needs every single one of these methods but its nothing wrong with that because that's why you created this video to help people who are going through the same things you went through that's why we all have our own journeys in life because sometimes they can help other ppl dealing with the same thing.💗

hi Tina, brings us a video about: how to summarize books by dropping a pdf file into chatgpt and get the key points from the book when you don't have much time to read or you simply don't want to read it all.

[@the_xr_lab]

Thank you for doing this. My process of learning is similar and I’ve faced many of the same problems, but without any supporting understanding of the why and how it works. Your explanation makes a lot of sense and I feel empowered to take more control. I’ve been told to “eat the frog” when completing daily tasks, but there was no explanation of why it worked, your solution to take the cold shower to reduce dopamine makes a lot of sense and lowers the barrier required to get a reward from the following task. This also explains why looking at my phone in the morning breaks my flow as my dopamine level is then set too high and any following task is unsatisfying. You’ve provided a number of tools I need to review and try for myself, thanks again for sharing.

[@neoxochitl]

I appreciate you so much. As someone with adhd I need routines and deadlines or else I’m a huge mess.

Yes, this is me. Thank you for making this video.

[@heartoffire5902]

All I remembered from the pop quiz was something about portions. Lol one of the things that made learning tough before was similar to what you mentioned in your experiences. If you have a lapse in concentration and miss something or simply didn't hear it, you're trapped in the time bubble that follows where you can't go back and check so you have literally no understanding of everything that follows and the entire lesson is wasted. Plus you are also now demotivated because you feel completely lost and left behind.

[@rudrachakraborty7896]

Thank you for this video. I am currently studying CS in London, by using your advice helped me as I am a slow learner.

Thanks, I felt so lost recently about studying. My manager says that I’m slow, so now learning through flash cards to be faster.

Your videos are so informative tina as well as they are lil bit funny too (atleast for me), the cute & funny gifs, and your way of correcting our thoughts on something you tell us ( like the arousal one and clearing us on "not to study drunk". 😆) i love that ❤. Thats why i always wait for your videos. Thank you so much tina. Love from India

I swear to God I have all kinds of problems. Especially the problem of not focusing on anything AT ALL. I found this very useful and rather interesting because of all the facts about how our brain works. Thanks a lot. You're a lifesaver.

[@bin4ry_d3struct0r]

I'm not a huge fan of textbooks either. My method is to skim over the entire text first and then reread just the parts I like in detail. For example, I'm reading a textbook on LLMs right now. After I finish, I'm not going to code every project in the book -- just the one or two of particular interest to me. I find this method of "selective learning" works well.

I love that there are so many ways to study, this along with the ability to understand how memory works will definitely allow us to study faster (: Thanks for the tips

[@abcdk3805]

I majored in Cognitive Science. Your statement of short term memory is correct. People usually have misconception about short term memory, it actually only last for 20-30 seconds. Here is the googled definition: Short-term memory (STM), also referred to as short-term storage, or primary or active memory indicates different systems of memory involved in the retention of pieces of information (memory chunks) for a relatively short time (usually up to 30 seconds).

I watched alot of your videos today. It is very intresting how similar we are in terms of our personalities and the path we took in life( I study in a top ranking university and have worked almost all of my Bsc and Msc as a full time software engineer). Your opinions and methods really resonated , I have also discovred these solutions by myself through the years. Recently I forget my own ways and needed a reminder. It feels good that there are other people exactly like me out there

[@shubhamsharmaofficial04]

5:19 procrastinating is my worse nightmare but what really stops me from doing anything is being drained, unmotivated and being paralysed from overwhelming tasks 😢 Honestly always hope time would stop, so i would be able to finish everything without being overwhelmed from deadlines (also cuz i have bad time blindness and time to time get brain fog but thats probably cuz i have audhd too which also just plays a huge role to why im like this and struggling😔)

[@emmanuellopez3303]

great content , thanks for this video, just a minor detail should state-dependent Learning be Step-6 , step5 is Flashcards for memorization ... I feel I am more visual kinda learner but some times that doesn't work then I would try different methods, I will try the audios and moving around thanks for also add AI tools to use.

Thanks so much! Appreciate your kind words :) It's a great course - best of luck!

[@FrivolousGirl]

I started studying again as I hit my 30s and was so positively surprised of how good I was. I mean, now that I'm older and only juggling 1-2 subjects at a time, on top of knowing how I learn best, studying became almost a breeze! However, all of that changed last year as I hoped on a program to learn webb development, learning things like python, PHP, databases and javascript. Now I feel just as stupid as I felt in high school during math class. It just doesn't want to click for me. I call myself having "teflon brain" 😅 I kind of know what the problem is. It's that I just can't relate the information to something I already know. My partner thinks I'm wrong for calling programming "abstract" but that's what it is. It's concepts you can't hold in your hand. Whatever learning tricks that worked for physics and chemistry doesn't work for programming. I'm six months in and my motivation has dropped tremendously. Deadlines don't even scare me anymore. I'm gonna try a cold shower in the morning and see if it has any effect on my procrastination.

[@MinisterRedPill]

"Memory is not static" damnright, its dynamic! 😆

[@weirdbear7888]

the procedure is pretty simple. you just need to arrange things in groups one pile would also be enough according to the amount of stuff, after this you might need to go to different places due to lack of facilities, but once you are done you need to arrange these into groups and you are done

[@TinaHuang1]

Oh wow

[@flower_chain7098]

The procedure is actually quite simple. You have to arrange the information into piles, but of course, one pile is sufficient depending on the amount of information. If you don’t have enough space, you can go to a separate facility and organize the piles there.

[@strawberry_fields16]

Ok so while this video was super interesting and entertaining, I had quite a hard time consolidating all of the information so much so that I had to STUDY the video in itself and take notes. So, if you are in a situation like this for any reason (hi neurodivergent neighbours), here is this video in a nutshell (and kinda reorganized): So, you want to study faster and learn things better? First, tackle procrastination! Motivation comes from dopamine and there are three ways that you can increase your dopamine. 1. Wait it out 2. Induce panic because oh my god I procrastinated for so long I have to write a 6000-word essay and deliver in the next three hours 3. Do something you really hate. Tina gives the example of taking a cold shower and it's basically the mindset of "take care of the worst task first so that the rest of your tasklist seems easier" Now, how do you concentrate on what you are learning? You can either 1.Induce an alert state through caffeine or any kind of motion (Tina gave the example of walking and listening to something) 2. Induce panic through deadlines, even if they are artificial, or by being in a study group and be held accountable 3. Generate an emotional response by thinking/remembering why you are studying the thing you are studying. You can also associate the subject to something you like or a story, like Tina said, make it seem like it could contribute to a story you created (or that you already know). How to make sure the information stays in your brain? 1. Spaced repetition + Active recalling to counter the forgetting curve (Any method of active recalling counts, like the Anki cards/Quizlet Tina mentioned) 2. Use different media to learn something (book, video, etc.) 3. Associate/Compare what you're learning with something you already know, like the laundry example. Remember that you shouldn't compare a fish to a monkey and therefore don't compare yourself to others! This was my own way of being my type of fish, and hopefully this helps someone else as well because when I finished the video for the first time, I felt a bit stupid lmao. Find out what works best for you and remember that there is no perfect study plan. As a translation student, I was taught that there is nothing perfect. That is why there are multiple movies of the same book or numerous translations. There will be always something that could be better in someone else's opinion and when we're studying, we don't have that critical eye telling us "You should've studied this way", so don't put that pressure on yourself as well! Welp, this was my contribution to this video which, as mentioned, was quite entertaining and helpful!! Have a wonderful day, to anyone who is reading this

[@johnnelson3988]

Another way to learn faster is to learn more advanced material. Once you've progressed to a certain level, the beginning stage material becomes trivial.

[@aril7718]

That would work pretty good but would be time consuming especially if you don't need to learn the advanced version. More knowledge is good though, I suppose.

I personally enjoy much more learning by doing, but I think there are things you just miss out if you only do that so it needs to be complemented with other sources, at least a bit.

- 1. wake up and dopamine boost (something she hates in the video it’s cold shower) a. other tips to regenrate dopamine - doing nothing for a certain time and then dopamine will pike at anything you do - last minute because deadline at end b. decrease motivation in order to start a project ex: use chat gpt to start the first part of a presentation - 2. a deadline (timer or pre-deadline with friends for example ) **versatilize the methods** (listen, read , watch video) and **state-depending** (recreate the same environment as an exam to output easily info during exam or reverse = ex drunk-drunk) - 3.listen instead of reading textbooks (uses spechify to turn texts into audios) and walk at the same time ( motion help brain to filter out infos and directs attention on the RIGHT thing) ⇒ **UNDERSTAND** - make associations with examples that you already know (laundry) ⇒ mind maps (chatmind) - learn as a story( use AI to learn things as a story) - 4.pratice and review the things that she cannot do (math for example) ⇒ **REVIEW** - spaced repetition (3 days consecutive or 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc.) - 5.for sujects like history use flashcards or things that you have to memorize (anki) ⇒ **REVIEW** 📢 different environment for studying and relaxing (study on a desk and relax on the bed)

Just F*cking do it... I wasted time on organizing, on preparing, obsessed over what I think I like, I obsessed over employment prospects among other things. But eventually I stopped doom scrolling, I stopped socializing, I stopped all the distractions and just sat on my a** and studied. As it turns out it's not that hard, in combination with light exercising studying is like meditation.
