Study Smarter, Not Harder | Kiki Fan | TEDxKerrisdaleLive

If you dread doing homework and settling down to study, you are not alone. In her talk, Kiki shares 3 study techniques that will not just reduce your study time, but also make it more enjoyable.
Kiki is an 8th-grade student at Lord Byng Secondary School in Vancouver. She loves to paddleboard and often lies down on it in the middle of the lake to gaze up at the sky. She imagines herself as a surfer when the waves come in. Kiki also enjoys reading, playing the piano and guitar, and taking care of her pet goldfish and turtle. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

note; this comment was made 4ds ago when there were less comments & useless criticisms which are now lost within the others. if you don't see them now, great. **if** you're critisizing her posture, movements, etc, cut her some slack. she's an 8th grader giving a ted-talk which is kinda a huge thing. she's doing well.

I had noticed some things, like the way she memorized the text and some lack of ability in talking, but I thought that she was in college! That incredible for a kid, I'm proud of how she managed to stand up and talk with confidence, she still has a lot to learn, but it a good start (better than mine sos).

[@ayanbhattacharjee1076]

I don't think anybody will notice that in an 8th grader. Don't initiate such things with these comments. Will be better if you delete your comment.

[@Rakib-us9is]

[@happywhale1786]

1.focus time: a. for study, playing , any activities b. inform your friends and families. c. is a commitment to youself. 2. environment: a. no distractions, a focus zone b. tip: drinks and snacks to keep you study longer. c. tip: organise your desk based on your need. d. tip: ambient sounds help blocking out distractive sounds. e. tip: maybe classic music 3. This kid got an amazing line: I'm just a kid not perfect so I cope with current condition and improve. edit: I'm more than glad this helps.

And thank you for writing her suggestions down. This will save me the time of listening to her until I have gotten the steps correctly.

[@ninaupts]

Ever since I've stumbled upon the mantra of "study smarter, not harder," my mind was instantly fascinated. It opened my eyes to a wise perspective: success isn't tied to the amount of hours you put into studying. It's about finding our own unique strategies that works efficiently, allowing us to reach our full potential.

Amazing talk! Good job, Kiki and thanks for your great advice.

[@muhammadahmadbilal7240]

Prioritize your focus time: a. Whether it's for studying, playing, or any other activity, make a conscious effort to allocate dedicated time for it. b. Communicate with your friends and family so that they respect your focus time and avoid interrupting you during it. c. Make a commitment to yourself to stay focused and avoid distractions. Optimize your environment: a. Create a focus zone where you minimize distractions and maximize productivity. b. Keep drinks and snacks nearby to sustain your energy and concentration. c. Organize your desk according to your needs and preferences. d. Use ambient sounds or music to block out distracting noises. e. Consider listening to classical music, which can enhance focus and relaxation. Inspiring words from a kid: "This kid has a powerful mindset: acknowledging that they're not perfect but willing to cope with their current conditions and strive for improvement. We can all learn from this attitude and apply it to our own lives.

Everyone has unique genetics, including me. She said that if you're hungry then it's hard for you to focus, in fact when I'm hungry my cell neurons are active and I can even observe in many ways to focus.

[@Idraqkhan]

What I learned from the lecture 1. Find your focus time as she mentioned that 7pm better for me 2. Stick to that time ( make sure consistency) 3. State during study your studying posture and place also affect study 4. Avoid distractions like phone extra magazines etc 5. Keep all required things like bottle of water to avoid interruption 6. Keep studying place clean and organise 7. Music in background to avoid distractions in home like TV sounds and cocking sounds also she mention that music leads to mood and the mood affect your study

[@erinafitrahridwana]

An excellent choice of topic! If you're looking for what kind of improvements you can develop another time, it'd probably be to smile more =) After all, from the voice tone to the epic sentence as the closure, you've showed your capabilities! I hope I can see you more frequent over the Internet. Regards, Erina

[@englishlearning2160]

Those are very good tips and I would use it but I'm actually at that part where I try to figure out how to get myself to sit down and study.

[@ahmadalii5932]

I got you. My humble advice is to first just sit down, close your eyes and count slowly to 60. My daughter, who is 60 years of age, and I am 19 years her senior and we are both Juniors at University. Attention deficit disorder is our bowl of jam so I am speaking from experience. Sometimes I convince myself, the clothes that need washing (three pieces), or hanging up two pairs of pants and a sweatshirt are my enemies and I turn my back to them and dig in. Ahmad 🖊 Ali

[@AyushSingh-qw8vw]

I sometimes study from my phone, so enable focus mode in mobile. It isn't that hard to avoid distraction.

[@chewyihong5024]

Something i have to disagree.. computer itself is the worst distraction.. u can open tabs like netflix, etc and end up not doing any productive work as well.. unless thrs a time machine gging back to 20 years ago, the distraction will always stay

[@ahmadalii5932]

You speak a universal truth. Good luck to us both.

[@Taha-jm5mc]

Well then sorry to say ; discipline yourself . No distraction can distract you when you are focused

[@Stever10]

What about those who study online? For me, I hv to study online and also self discipline is must. I try to generate dopamine by studying. At the end, my opinion is just work hard now, to live your dream life ❤️

If you must do homework many subject , what will you do . I think that this kind of talk often generally , we need a tutor to guide us go on a right and suitable way

[@commentdao1945]

Sometimes seeing teacher or tutor do high concentration, you will want knowing what they talk about , this stimulate curiosity and you have motivation to finish HW

[@Al-uw1qy]

If U are talking about a tutor for extra class then I agree that we need tutor to guide us but what if some people can't afford getting a tutor? This is where ur smart friends came in handy but what if u don't have friends? Then it might be great to be more focused in class(assuming school or college) and make sure u understand the subject u are studying. If u don't understand pop a question to the teacher. U can also review back what u learn and make a small flash card of what u learn. This helps ur brain to work hard and remember the subject and write it in a card.
