Your approach to mind mapping is just incredibly and efficient... I'm a Med student so i literally understand every thing and like your thoughts process... Started looking into mind mapping two week ago read a number of books on it and I've been steadily adjusting it without altering the core principles to suite med school studying and i can say my current approach is just a few steps away from your..will definitely take some more effective pointer of this, Thanks, Really helpful.

I recently putting in lots of my time into studies and fed up with the fact that i have to revise more and more along with the complex theories and various models of sums from the exact same topic... I guess people giving regular advises must need to use the disclaimer that more you do the same topic more you will retain.. On the contrary what fascinates me from your content is you focus on retaining the content rather than saying you completed 700 pages in one hr.. So brother im eager to follow your procedures so that i can implement it in my last revisions before my upcoming exams... Need layering part too !!!!

[@zain_asif]

For sure! Glad it's helped

Asalam alaikum zaid, I have to say that your advice is the only one which I agree with as someone who studied multiple study methods and techniques yours is the most straightforward, easy to understand and best for learning . No wonder your a med student in such a prestigious university. Inshallah you will be a wonderful doctor and continue to help others. I wish you the best and after saying this I’m hoping your a Muslims because it seems like it 😅😅😅 Also thank you so much for giving such in depth information which a lot of people don’t do. Your truly life saver and I hope you become successful. Also is there any disadvantage to creating the mind map on my phone????

[@zain_asif]

[@Ayang-nh7ud]

How can I use mind mapping (MM) for highly factual concepts? For eg, Qs: "Describe the detailed procedure for construction of a highway in a hilly terrain." Here, I am expected to write all the steps and explain them and there are lots of pure facts that must be remembered for eg. the trace cut path way must be 1.2 m, ruling gradient up to 5% for above MSL 3000m etc... My point is there can be so many facts that you can't write in a MM and I realize that the steps themselves can be recalled in a broad sense using a MM but how to deal with such density?

[@megaminded033]

Thanks 🙏🏽❤ I enjoyed the video and I'll try the ideas out 😊

[@zain_asif]

Glad it helped :)

[@elude3808]

Hi Zain, First of all, thank you for your amazing videos! I'm a struggling med student in Spain. Here, the exams are based on the professors' lectures and 90% of the exams are random details, so we rely heavily on notes from previous students. Each subject has around 300 to 500 pages of notes filled with details, so time management is crucial. We usually have 5 or 6 subjects per four-month term (we have 2 terms), and only final exams, so it's a lot of information to retain all at once. My biggest struggle is memory-I have a very bad long-term memory, so I struggle to retain information for that long. Therefore, I need a good pace to cover all the content and do revisions. We have 30 to 50 topics per subject; would 2 hours per topic be effective using this method? It would be really helpful if you could reply. Thanks! P.S. I'm excited for part 2!

[@alexisbagalacsa1199]

And also how about when you are studying a huge topic like the entire subject example pathophysiology combine sub. How will you organize it? can you make a video for that? I really appreciate it. There's no one I've seen here that is detailed as you do. ❤❤

[@zain_asif]

Thats a good idea actually like how to do all topics

[@ajiboyemuhammed6079]

You haven't seen anyone has detailed as him? Don't u know Justin Sung??

[@shrivarshyababu7856]

Hello zaid, your videos are eye openers for many of the students like me , thank you for that , i have a ques if you dont gave proper notes and yu have to fair a copy of notes for your study and then you have to make recall questions out of them, wont it take very long hours for completing just one subject ? So in that case how to balance between notes and making recall questions? ⁉️

[@zain_asif]

I would try my best to avoid making normal notes tbh. Make questions directly from the information source (ie. your books or lectures). That way you can test yourself on them and fill the gaps directly from the books.

[@charityyarbrough252]

For tip 8, you said to not create recall questions immediately but wait 30-45 minutes. During that 30-45 min, are you actively reading to deepen your understanding of the topic beyond what you put in your mind map? And then once the minutes are up, you start over again and make recall questions?

[@alexisbagalacsa1199]

Make more in depth about the details in 2nd to 3rd layers. how to tackle does gap and weaknesses. What types of questions should be used.

[@Oraki_salamat]

Hey I just to ask have you ever watch Justin Sung video? Yeah his video about mind mapping, encoding, space repetition…etc and your method of mind mapping, and creating recall question is very similar to his? Just curious that’s all, if not then maybe you could get some insight into his learning system. His is a learning coach, and was a medical doctor, but he only does helping people to learn. And I’m not fully understand his learning system, but maybe you might have some insight into his learning system and share on your KZbin to improve your mind as well. I’m just just curious.

[@mhammadaytour7862]

yes he mentionned in one of his videos that he watched a lot of justin's videos and he is precisely using the same studying method

[@Oraki_salamat]

@@mhammadaytour7862 and you tell me the video of him sharing this? Even if I watch almost every Justin sung video, but fail to apply and grabs the foundation and the result is disappointing for me. But anyway thank you 🙏

[@zain_asif]

Yep Justin's done really well with introducing higher-order learning to the masses. I've incorporated mindmaps into my learning this last year but most find this to be difficult, I'm hoping these videos would help simplify the process and give the perspective of a beginner applying these more efficient techniques. Let me know what specifically you're having trouble doing.

[@Oraki_salamat]

@@zain_asif hmm... what about history that has to remember detail events and dates that contribute to this and that? And the keywords should I only pick keywords that only nouns that made sense for me conceptually? When encoding or thinking about relationships, similaities differences, evaluation (which is most important) and intention? Should I use a notebook that track my thought process that led to the roots cause? What is root cause 😅? What about many different topics that aren't related or similar topic into one big picture? 😢 Is it just to read many topic all together to form difference, similar and a broad understanding?

Hi Brother, Your videos are amazing. Should we have to memorize the mind map that we have created for the subject contents?

[@zain_asif]

I mean don't force yourself to, but continuously use that initial mindmap you create by thinking about the new information in context of that structure. And you'll automatically have it in your head.

[@ranjithraghunathan1267]

Hi , how do you learn the so many details within each topic/concept. if there are around 80 concepts in a book and each concept has around 10 points of details that makes it around 800 points of details , how do you capture those in the mindmap or learn them

[@zain_asif]

You don't! That's the best part. You decide what's important to include depending on what your exam specifies. You don't include all the details. You focus on BUILDING A BASE for the topic. One that you can refer to for the entirety of your revision. So that when you revise the topic, you can think of this mindmap and attach what you're learning to the basics on it!

Yeah but this short-term memory. It’s not hard to recreate mind map because you just read the topic. I would like to see you do the mind map after three days with no materials.

[@zain_asif]

The purpose of creating the mindmap isn't for recall. It's to form a strong initial understanding that links all the concepts of a topic in a memorable way. You use it in your future revision sessions by linking all the new things you're learning to it in your head. And PS- it would be very doable to recreate 90% of it even 6 months after making it, if you wanted to test yourself on the basics. But only if one followed the steps right and actually linked new knowledge to it during their revision.

[@eclecticapoetica]

Watching the mindmapping process unfolding is interesting and very useful, but as you yourself said the fact that yoúre videoing it and communicating to a potential audience actually changes the process. f For the next video talk to yourself out loud rather than to the camera, you can edit in your commentary to us later.

[@zain_asif]

That's an excellent idea. Do you mean do a voiceover later after I've made it to show you what I'm doing at each step while doing the mindmap/layering or studying so you guys can see me do it more naturally?
