Am new to using mind-map for studying. I had done some level 1 mind-maps. I was in Level 1 courses in H.S. so a lot was really about remembering the information first, and then analysing or arguing a point of view second.

Your level 2 mind-map was more clearer for me to read. Thank you for putting this video together! Am trying to remember how to study new information.

[@user-mj6st9jj1l]

Yes, great suggestion. As it is, I just don't get it, it's just a confusing collection of mindmaps that make no sense.

[@yashaswikulshreshtha1588]

I wanna highlight few important things. I feel like these techniques are pretty common for high functioning people who have higher mental fluidity. The reason being that whoever came up with mind map was because high functioning allows you to observe and absorb greater structure of things. Also here's something that's more important. Forget about shortcuts and silly techniques. At the end of the day lesson is engage in critical thinking lol! Critical thinking is what allows you to create abstract thoughts leading to discovering things like mind maps. But merely 'following' the video won't neccessarily make you a better thinking signigicantly atleast. One word for all your problems: "Just buy some wild inward curiosity"

[@PhillipPhan]

start at 9:13 for a nice example

[@Koroistro]

I feel like 75% of the benefit comes from to *active engagement*. Level 0 and level 1 are completely mindless. They are basically passive actions, they simply delay the effort that is *engaging* with the content. I remember having to take notes because otherwise the professors would get pissed. It was a monstruous waste of time, when I write I can't focus on the lecture, that leads to bad quality notes because they weren't thought through, which then moves the work to after the lecture. I very much preferred when I was to take minimal notes and focus on building the cognitive framework.

[@Maadman.]

Active Recall + spaced repitition + Mind mapping level 3 , one of the best combo to study 👌

[@jasondads9509]

that's basically his half his whole program haha

[@timanishchuk]

As you master Mind mapping level 3, you dont actually need much of Active recall or spaced repetition. Actually, those techniques can still be used for information that doesn't fit in mind map at all. For the content in mind map, it's much more effective to active recall the whole mind map. For example, explaining it

[@awesbensaid]

Spaced Interleaved Retrieval

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

You didnt understand the concept . There is NO need of Active Recall and Spaced repetition, once you master Mind mapping . Mind mapping covers all and saves your time .

[@eloquentlyemma]

I was a programmer for 20-ish years: academic and professionally, so even my non-programming mind maps look like object/relationship diagrams combined with data-flow diagrams. But as well as this, I add in what I call data islands - these are essentially the screens of information that I would display to the user if I were writing a program based on the diagram. Using these techniques (and a hierarchy of colours that I keep constant for all my work) allows me to structure most things.

[@Koroistro]

This video feels like a long winded way to describe how to build a mental model of a certain topic. The benefit isn't in the mindmap/notes, but in the effort to organizing the information in said strucutres. It's similar to a normalized database, you minimize redundancy decreasing the memory burden, but you remember relationships decreasing the cognitive burden of rebuilding the relationships. By doing that you also allow your brain to relate the mental models to eachother, every model makes the next one take less effort because you can rely on the previous ones.

[@gregbell2117]

Why'd you quit being a programmer? How'd you escape!? These days sequence diagrams are recognised as the clearest way to explain what a program's doing. That and C4 diagrams, though I don't see those in the wild.

[@federicoromero6130]

Arrows and lines can mean many different things and I find it useful to come up with a way to differentiate them and mark them: time, process, dependencies, relations (one to one, many to one, etc) and they can be conditional (even negating) or depend on a formula or expression, it is useful to learn symbols for logic gates and processes to incorporate in your MM. Also, marking areas across different groups to give additional dimensions to your MM. In any type of note taking I also like to reserve one color for what I am seeing and hearing and another color for what I am thinking or how I assume or think things relate; makes it easier to fix later my wrong thoughts on the matter.

[@francis5518]

Dude, this is making me WANT to study for my exams!! 🎉

[@mwtichenor]

This would be more helpful if you actually gave a definition. This is way too vague to be useful for me. For example, level 1 is a graph (maybe directed), level 2 has clusters as nodes, and level 3 is just more “intuitive” or has higher “quality”. How can you justify a hierarchy on a methodology based on the specific content? Without knowing anything about the subject, it’s impossible to tell the difference between level 2 and level 3 (if these are indeed real categories). There isn’t even a mention about the type of relationship identified by the arrow!

[@pramitpratimdas8198]

@@mwtichenor for any subject you cannot directly go to level 3 without going though the previous levels as level 3 requires a complete understanding of the subject matter (as well as correlation and association with other subjects) Mind maps are there to retain that understanding, not to make you understand. You still have to understand yourself hence the whole rambling about "higher thinking"

[@etorty_dev]

Thank you Justin! I've learned a lot in this video! I am on Level 2 but I think I now know what I'm missing to get to a Level 3 mind map. Here are my observations and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or need some adjustments: 1. The map as a whole is a lot cleaner due to the higher quality groupings and connections. This usually does not happen on the first attempt to draw the map because you might need to do some further thinking or reading (or to playback portions of the video). I can currently do a Level 2 map while listening to a lecture or in a live meeting. 2. The width of the arrows are bigger to show higher relatedness of concepts or ideas. Again, you need to think a little harder as Justin said to be able to "see" these hierarchies of relatedness. 3. The Level 3 mind map is more colorful and has more relevant diagrams to make the information stick. 😸 4. As chunks of information get further away from the center or backbone of the map, it gets smaller in size and a little faded. This leads me to think that these levels or type of information are what we can chuck into a flashcard app. They are important, isolated facts that do not have high relatedness to the overall stuff we are learning. Hope someone finds this useful

Can you please make a vidoe for procedural subjects like math with examples like this video? I really love your channel and itd be so helpful

[@harshitadas1435]

Yess seconded!

[@Azure-Aura]

This may sound crazy... but for Math you just have to practice 😲 Okay but in all seriousness practice is all it takes for Maths because in the end, you're trying to see patterns in the question, and using various techniques that doesn't seem to make sense at first. It's only by using them more does it feel more logical, and make you understand just what you're doing. When you're starting off though, DON'T PRACTISE QUESTIONS STRAIGHTAWAY. Instead, look at a few questions and its answers immediately. And then make sure you understand it before trying to solve questions.

[@TStephen-s3l]

I recommend watching Archer Newton's recent video on MM I believe he teaches How to do level 3 mind map because he talks about building a backbone for your organizational structure He also shows how it was applied for music theory,MATH,physics,etc He works for Justin sung👍👍

[@TStephen-s3l]

​@@Azure-Aura Maths is a combination of Declarative knowledge and Procedural knowledge The method you're teaching is the latter which is quite ineffective if you do not know the 'WHY?' which is achieved only when you focus on the Declarative part at level 5 of Blooms taxonomy If u do it correctly then it will give you a nuanced understanding such as "Why is this concept important?", "How does this formula fit in with the concept?","If both formulas are giving the same result,which is more important and Why is it important?",etc Hope it helps

[@Azure-Aura]

@@TStephen-s3l Well, honestly I understand what you're talking about but that's achievable by just reading through the textbook. Every math concept is interlinked in some way or another so the concept itself and the 'why this works' aren't that difficult to understand. What I myself (and a lot of people I know) struggle with often is to understand how I can use concepts I know in new problems, which is why I said to practice. Afaik, Math is straightforward when it comes to how concepts are important or how formulas are derived. It's hard to solve problems, thats pretty much the only difficult part. And every time you do solve a problem, you soon start seeing ways to make the process more easier and apply in newer situations. You don't really need Bloom's taxonomy to understand Math, you just need to find ways to apply Math.

[@shuilee2781]

I am more used to using bulleting, colour highlighting, and layered summary to bring out the dimension of the notes. Because it is faster to do that. The traceability, switching, sequencing, and interconnection are easier to set up. In this fast-moving and highly competitive world, we need to move fast and satisfy ourselves instantly in order to make the learning journey sustaining.

[@MazingerZX]

I agree. Also from information sharing perspective, bullet/highlight, layered summary is much more efficient. Additionally, often we encounter real time situations that require speed and does not allow deeper information processing and representation.

[@waterfoker8558]

1) i think one key point you didn't reveal to viewers or maybe you just forgot about because its so subtle is: you cannot jump to level 2/3 right off the bat with new info when you're learning. When you learn something new, you don't gave any concept of what it is or have misconceptions or just biases and no structure at all. This is why you start off at lvl 0/1 just to understand the material first. First is memorization. You need to sleep on the data. 2) second once you have a good enough volume of info, it's no longer new to you, but just unstructured, then you begin to make the connections, create your own structure, your own flow, etc. this is where lvl 2/3 comes in. But you don't get here right away and without first going through lvl 0/1.

[@luccagiovani]

@@waterfoker8558 He actually disagrees with you. He builds the mind maps before memorizing. You don't need to completely know a subject before you can summarize It into one concept and link It to others.

[@waterfoker8558]

@@luccagiovani the disagreement seems to be around memory, memorization, etc. this gets technical and one can make the point that if everything you read just gets forgotten, having no retention of data, then all of learning is impossible. So obviously you need to have a working memory and whether you call that memorization is irrelevant. The skill to actively think about and categorize where a new piece of data goes/is structured/connects to existing data you already know, is trainable and the point of this video. But all this work requires memory/memorization, and time to let your subconscious "protein fold" all the data into something cohesive and beautifully mapped

[@pramitpratimdas8198]

​@@luccagiovanimind maps are for memorizing not for understanding. They are for expressing your understanding and helping you retain them. If you are making mind maps before understanding a subject then you have to adjust it down the line when you have new information/better understanding. Worst scenario you have to re-learn some parts and that's just a waste of time

[@AnandaGarden]

I find your videos deeply interesting. As a writer for 52 years, I'm less interested in learning than in high-level retention and comprehension of themes and supporting stories and details. There's a lot to keep track of, and much that it would be good not to forget. There seems to be a new and helpful learning track here that points to mind-mapping and possibly Zettelkasten for the kinds of books I'm writing now.

came here from your other mind-mapping video. Really interesting subject! I’m stuck on level 1 and would love to see more video on how to get to the level 2

[@lWlVl]

I wonder if others feel this way. Level 2/3 come very naturally to me, but trying to input raw information, rote memorizing, and recall without recognizable marks, all take considerable effort, intention, and practice. Pulling information from a non sequential space -- traversing a particular path through my reflexively created mind map -- to convey to another information that I have in my head -- as in speaking or writing this here -- is truly exhausting. But at the same time, building a graph, writing code for, or conjuring the feelings of these concepts through art is intuitive.

[@wrongturnVfor]

I can spend hours mind mapping and studying concepts at depth. But I hate rote memorization. it is my achilles heel

[@LoveGod-ObeyGod]

I'm currently using mind maps to map out the main points of scientific papers (for postgraduate studies) I'm currently reading through. I was surprised at how uncomfortable it was in the beginning, but now I'm getting into it quite nicely. Definitely helps with finding relationships etc. I wish I knew of this channel much earlier, but grateful I get to learn from it now. 🙌

[@ishrakmujibift4269]

I'd say i'm in level 2, but I have been trying to bump things to level 3, which takes a loooot of time! Edit : Nah, I'd say I'm at level 3, I just don't spend that much time studying one topic, so...

[@tadeoriganti]

I definitely studied in college using level 2 without knowing what was I doing. For me, to learn this way, is like he explained; to go through the process rather than start from a specific lvl. I don't know if others starts mapping from a specific level, but for me, the "higher mindset" is just that, learn by mapping (0-2), not through maps. Haven said that level 2 and 3 are helpfull for others, as they are basically an infographic piece (but it wouldn't suffice to achieve the same level of understanding that has the author's map).

[@sanchitakumarr]

so In India we have boards for school so we have ICSE CBSE STATE STATE syllabus so in ICSE which I'm in in the 10th grade I guess the head people of the board read the bloom's taxonomy I guess and implemented the higher order learning in the syllabus and now they ask us questions which we NEED to process .Before english was boring and stupid and now its a perfect challenge for me the only thing I miss are the eassyyy questions they used to ask us before,Im very happy because I'm just discovering this(I discovered it

Hey Justin, thank you for sharing such insightful strategies on mastering mind maps at level 3. Your breakdown really resonates with how I approach mind mapping, combining it with my skills in spatial visualization and creative illustration. Here's an enhanced approach I've developed: **Enhanced Mind Mapping:** Enhanced mind mapping integrates advanced level 3 techniques with specific creative skills, enhancing both retention and creativity. Here's how it works: 1. **Creative Use of Space and Visual Skills:** - Integration of physical or abstract spaces to organize ideas. - Use of spatial abilities for intuitive connections. 2. **Detailed Illustration and Visualization:** - Applying illustration techniques to depict complex concepts. - Creating visually rich mind maps for better understanding and memorization. 3. **Continuous Evolution and Flexibility of the Mind Map:** - Maintaining interconnected abstractions that evolve with learning. - Adapting the mind map to include new ideas and emerging connections. 4. **Visual Metaphors and Creative Analogies:** - Using visual metaphors and analogies to enhance comprehension and memory. - Incorporating easily recognizable symbols to aid in information recall. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of mind mapping for deep understanding but also fosters creativity in organizing knowledge. Thanks again for your insights-they've truly helped me elevate my learning process!

[@rovietergeek]

I've been watching some of your videos for a few months now and I'm still honestly struggling with getting out of the habit of mapping at level 0. My takeaway from this video is that the jump from level 0 to level 1 seems to be the hardest stage of this whole process. I believe that this is because of habits I've yet to unlearn from decades of linear learning. I hope that there will be a video dedicated on overcoming the steep learning curve of level 0 to level 1.

Thanks for another insightful video! How should we balance between taking linear notes and making mind maps? Linear notes are better for lectures and reading in my opinion as sometimes you would like to capture as much info as possible. My take is that mind maps are for the synthesis stage when we consolidate all the notes from lectures and books. What do you guys think?

[@MadChickenz42]

I took a college cell biology course once which required 4 mind maps: one per each of the 3 major tests. Then a final unifying one before the final exam that didn’t contain the smallest levels of discrete details from the other 3; only levels 1-3 were connected to the overall picture. Mind you, this was before the days of infinite canvas apps. Rules were: 1) Zero crossed lines-each line crossed was 5% off. 2) The biggest idea must be in the top center and everything must flow away from it. 3) Each bubble had only one concept (noun, 3 words or less). 4) Along each arrow line we had to write a single action verb, indicating the precise relationship between the concepts (e.g. creates, modifies, destroys, determines, completes, initiates, etc). I have use this model with great success in my personal and professional life to create clean and detailed maps.

These mind maps levels are erringly similar to machine learning level nodes especially the level 3 quality and grouping in ML learnings its bias grouping significance that's how AI models can learn faster than humans because Artificial learning model designs are iteratively improving their mental learning models every generation of training and evolution Mind map is essentially a way of modelling information for an topic in many pure technical studies such as Maths (Group theory) , Computer Science(system of chip hierarchy) and software engineering (objective oriented programming model/relationship diagrams)

[@DoubleYouMM]

From my experience, I am at level 2ish. I've created many mindmaps which can be considered level 2, and level 3 on certain topics. And I could feel the level 3 ones were hella easier to recall whenever I saw the mindmaps. But yeah it wasn't consistent. Time to do some mindmap solo leveling. And Justin I can't thank you enough for these videos! Gives a lot of insight.

[@Josephkerr101]

I've had a process for study that is as follows: observation>planning>executing :|| that acts as a baseline structure by which I actively engage in multiple subjects. On of the issues I've had in this approach is knowing how to make connections.

Anything else?

Excellent video! It would be great if you make one explaining how you study from one mind map to rembember all the details that the exam requires us to put in.

However I find it pretty hard to make complete mindmaps and I end up having to reduce their scope (say from a chapter to a single topic within the chapter) as I'm constrained to pen and paper. It'd be awesome if you could make a video on how to effectively make mindmaps when we're constrained to the size of an A4 sheet...

[@letteracura]

Great video thank you! :)

[@ShastraGuy33]

Justin needed this video and waiting for it Thanks From india

[@nikol2014]

Wow you use every skill you developed to the best extent! Amazing video, very helpful ideas. And I think I’m level 2 btw, would love to see more of that content, how to improve (finished a degree in biology and about to start another in medicine)

[@hendrixgryspeerdt2085]

I really appreciate the video, I learned the importance and value of mind mapping. Thank you. Your handwriting is really difficult to read, however. I struggle to read what you wrote for the level 2 mind map.

[@franzraphaelvelasco1301]

I think i go from level 1 to level 2. It depends whether I am feeling lazy and tired, or energetic and focused during that study session. I forget, nowadays, to emphasize certain connections or relationships. Sometimes I'm also lazy at reorganizing the mind map to be more intuitive. So next time, probably, this Monday I'll try to be more mindful during my study sessions. Thank you!

[@original_pranxter]

What he said is true. I never heard of these techniques, but I found out that I was already using them, just my way

[@Ayre-pd8cc]

i am in between level 2 and 3. And it great to see Sung to get a sponser

[@user-ll1er9mg4u]

This is an interesting video. Not done with yet, but a lot of the points you touch on in the “higher levels of mind mapping” I use to organize my “linear notes”. I thrive on detail so I like to write down a lot, but it has to be organized and not just fact after fact. I like a flow between notes so it can be read through almost like an instruction manual with steps and considerations that can be applied for adjacent notes and even different subjects. Super helpful for my brain, but love that mind mapping is helping people sounds kind of cool. Would so do it if I didn’t require fine detail for me to learn

[@xfirma1008]

I say because I watch a lot of videos in youtube, that Justin is a unique person that like integrate all the techniques that like all the youtubers talk, but not so much like that. It's like some of those techniques but improved and new techniques but it's more like a study system that integrates task managment, procrastination, note taking, spacing, retrieval, interleaving, and more things around the study. I was in his course, At the begining of his course talk about task management and procrastination, and those videos are easy to understand. if you investigate there are videos that talk about urgent tasks or burn the boats as he put in his videos those concepts, so if he puts at beginning things that appear in various videos in youtube is not so difficult, because It's like the videos or techniques you often see, but together. And if you didn’t understand the theory you only have to ask to the coaches. The causes of why I didn’t progress a lot are or I didn’t apply the techniques, or My english is not very good to watch the videos or understand when the coaches talked in like mettings. So I will learn english first and then start again the course

I really appreciate the way you tried to convey this information but unfortunately it boiled down to "you'll notice I'm doing a lot of high level thinking in my head and that's how you do a level 3 mind map". You have to show us what those high level thinking processes actually look like when they transform one kind of information into another kind of information. Very useful as a reference video for people who have a solid grasp of what these concepts are, but otherwise more of a dictionary than an instructional guide. Thumbs up!

[@timanishchuk]

I was thinking whether we can go even further: are there extensions to the level 3? As level 3 uses second-to-last level of thinking by Bloom's taxonomy, I think that it's actually the last level of mind mapping. What do you think?

[@jpizzleforizzle]

That segue into the ad was... Brilliant.

[@georgefelix6311]

I am probably at a level 2 right now, this is really helpful for me to get up to level 3

[@tentimesten6645]

Great video, thank you so much!! I am just wondering how this might apply to more mindmaps of concepts, say, instead of keywords. For instance, how would you make a mindmap for learning math? Each concept itself might go with a proof, and thus require a lot of words by necessity (though of course, I’ll try to represent it with an analogy, drawing, non-verbally, etc). What I think I will try for a solution is drawing a light-colored box around each concept/proof/example, and drawing arrows from boxes to boxes or from things within a box elsewhere.

[@jamricsloe]

Information Blue Prints. Interesting idea. As if the thing we’re trying to remember is a machine to be built. I like it.

[@kottybeats]

Great video, thanks for the information Do you make mindmaps for specific contents or for full chapters? Or both?

[@puteriiman9162]

Can you show example of mindmap related to specific disease like the signs & symptoms, pathophysiology, investigation, management,etc? Basically the structure to make mindmap level 3 for medical student who want to study specific disease / approach specific symptoms related to specific system such as cough for respi, SOB for cardiovascular, etc

[@sanzzans1160]

Wow this is my first seen content about mind maps, thought no one actually use it,, cause most of my co-workmates don't really appreciate this, the last time I showed it to them and even explained what's happening in those notes, But I didn't stop using it just because of that it's just, I don't really understand the value of when I'm using it, well, not until I've seen this video 🙌

[@hoangkha5460]

I appreciate the video

[@yannikkvh7258]

Can you do a video on self learning Mathematics? I want to get to University level of maths by myself but i really dont know how to go about it. The problem with mindmapping and also scanning the entire chapter before i start to get some perspective on what the topic is about, is that i dont understand anything. I have to learn the entire topic wich takes weeks until i am able to make sense of the basic structure of it.. but at that point i dont need it anymore because i already understand the topic. It takes way too long to learn sentence by sentence as you said yourself, but i dont see another way... advice would be much appreciated because you are honestly the best learning coach i've ever found.

[@brookewinters6518]

Would you suggest making a MM for each Lecture or Week of content in a class, or go more big scale and have one for the entire semester? Maybe both or is that too much and my energy would be better spent elsewhere in my studying?

[@TStephen-s3l]

level 3 mind map is taught in Archer Newton's recent MM video I believe that the core principles which differentiate level 2 from 3 mind map is Intention (Archer's mind map) ,ie, creating group and relating them to the Major intention of the mindmap

[@ajiboyemuhammed6079]

Yooo Justin, finally

[@sparrowblackeyed9419]

Thank you for this, Justin! and to answer your request, I'm at level 2 MM (:

[@protagonist70]

Brilliant and justing sung. The collab of the year

[@u2b83]

I personally want some kind of recent-access optimization (say, like with splay trees)

[@AK-nm1jh]

Hey Justin, can you make a video about how to read the non-academic books like fiction or self help for example, to get the most out of it.😊

[@lm2668]

Depends on what yiu want to read it for, best bet is to make a mind map but what ykur tjough process is when making it, will inflence the mastery of the topic and how good the mm is

[@ananyana9095]

I'm still transitioning from level 0 to level 1, but hopefully, as this sem starts, I'll be able to use level 1 completely.... at least for a month!

[@charissiana]

I find your videos so interesting! …I don‘t really know how to apply it yet, specially for language learning (is that possible??). I‘m super interested in tge mindmapping/ drawing tool you use. I haven‘t found the right one for me yet…

[@user-wg6fe5uj8r]

I noticed your lv 2&3 have quality connecting words between concepts and ideas and sometimes are even larger and take the place, structurally in the MM, of were I would put parent concepts or main ideas. Just to be clear, I do love that you have the connecting words, I think it’s an important thing that you could have spent more time on though. Q:Why do you organize it this way? Q: What benefits would you expect people to get from having the connecting words be a bigger focus in the MM than the concepts? Q: how do you decide when the connections are more important than the concepts/ideas?

[@gopalidhole8452]

Its my first time learning about mind maps and I find it fascinating. I am solving many reading comprehension of all types and I wanted to know if this can help me in increasing my comprehension??

[@user-ti5dz7zh7u]

Can you do a video where you explain more about level five thinking , evaluation (critical thinking) and how can we master it ?

[@salahnajeeb6292]

Hey, Justin we need more details like we wanna know what to do step by step to apply the techniques correctly, talking about the techniques in a diplomatic way is really confusing and makes applying the techniques really hard. If you do that I'll be grateful to you.. THE BEST STUDY CHANNEL❤
