The Ultimate Guide to Learning Faster (The Layering Method)

[@ArcherNewton]

Here another guide on how you can make better mindmaps and learn faster :) If you are mindmapping on an iPad, and want a smoother experience, Paperlike is the way to go: paperlike.com/archer/2409

this is exactly where i was struggling and what i have been searching for. thank you so much. may your pillows be always cool and your soup be always warm

[@王沛元]

Wow Archer, you take the layer of learning and order control out from the courses😮

[@RussellHTF2]

You and Justin Sung are the only Study Influencers that make sense ❤

[@Llkk4680]

I feel the same!!!

[@Umarepistemix]

Yeah, Scott H young and Benjamin keep are both learning experts...who know their learning science

[@NanaKwameGyimahBuadu]

For real

[@trunghieunguyen6321]

Hi Archer, what I like about you is that you're very active in responding to comments on KZbin videos, much more so than Justin. I have a few questions. As you know, the first step in creating a mindmap is to list out keywords. I am a medical student, and I primarily learn about diseases through books. In these books, the authors organize outlines according to headings such as: 1) Causes, 2) Pathogenesis, 3) Symptoms, 4) Lab Tests, 5) Diagnosis, 6) Treatment. Each section is further divided into several subheadings, and within each subheading, there are paragraphs and details. I have two questions: 1)Should I use the author’s organization method? 2)If I use the author's method of organizing topics, is my task to find the keywords within those paragraphs and then group them according to my own way?"

[@ArcherNewton]

Thank you! You should try reorganise in a way that makes most sense for the concepts that you're considering in that topic you're focusing on. The author's organisation is a biased way of organising it and doesn't give you the opportunity to generate your own chunking. You can use those headings as words on your mindmap but you don't need to follow those categorisations directly. If you use the chunking you've suggested, everything will fall into those categories and it will be absolutely huge. You want to categorise based on similarities (which can come in how it looks, or similarities of function/purpose, theme, etc) Many ways to do this but we want to be more critical about the chunking.

Archer, reupload the "Biochemistry MindMapping" live video!! we're begging for it!!

Seconded

Been waiting for this video since the live stream, finally it's out 🤩🤩

[@Oraki_salamat]

Hey bro In the stream when he told you guys about reviewing methods like teaching about in your mind map and repeat right? Help ya brotha out homie 😊

[@TheSuperZufan]

Thank you for this explanation. It really helped me understand mind mapping a lot more. I really think I can use this now. I truly appreciate it because I was going to abandon mind mapping all together.

[@fullandempty]

I love the live mind maps! I could watch this all day + I'm learning new things!

[@dre7256]

The way you explain this is so good man. thank you so much

[@ArcherNewton]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@caroline_41]

this is my favourite video of yours

[@_jeezgg]

Can you talk about relevance, prior knowledge , order control and curiosity. What does it mean to start with relevance. A practical example would be great I’m confused about that and can’t make a mindmap that I can retain and not bored while doing it

[@fexterm4390]

“I mainly study from books. In the books, they present a disease. For example, ‘pneumonia.’ They will present: 1. Causes, 2. Mechanism, 3. Symptoms, 4. Diagnosis, 5. Treatment. And within each section, there are smaller sub-sections. For example, 1.1) Direct causes, 1.2) Indirect causes. In the direct causes section, they further divide it into smaller parts, specifying exactly what those causes are. So, when selecting keywords, should I include both ‘direct causes’ and ‘indirect causes,’ and then list those specific causes in the keyword list? Every mind map video is very vague in this part instead of directly showing how you can create such a list. That is a question many people are wondering about. Can you explain? Thank you.”

[@visualsbynev]

can you talk about encoding strategies

[@pjqde]

Hey Archer Thank you for solidifying this a bit further! Quick question: When we collect the keywords, do you typically do the keywords within a chapter or two to not be overwhelmed but at the same time enough to show relationships between chapters, or you collect them all at once?

[@ArcherNewton]

I try bulk collect the keywords at the start and more will reveal itself as I continue on!

[@pjqde]

In your experience, does creating a mind map in this way helps in understanding the bigger picture better than grouping a set number of keywords through chunking?

[@Daab4]

Do you do all of this during prestudy?

[@jfox8888]

or, i apologise first for bring in content from another youtuber , the box matrix of grouping things, from Jim Kwik's recent video Note Taking System 17oct2024 ish ? + a very old video from Jeffrey Kaplan, How to read , Basically read and sum up succinctly , and put into 4 areas mapped out, doesnt matter if one understood or not, just breaking down and group into 4s, so from @1:01, the layers, might be top right Foundation, top left Main Concepts, bottom right Detail, bottom Left Arbitrary details and from there, what are the foundations, spread out, into further " squares , and groups of 4 ", and sum them up and then expand further as necessary. taking hints from Get better at anything, from Scott h young, with the coded words and summary from one branch to another, think of it. as a eventual Go/ weiQi board .... then group again to the layers one might missed or still dont understand.. the draw back, is to label your groups of 4s, on the side to represent what you have went through... and reorg into the layering from Archer

[@deelakasuraweera4086]

Hey Archer, thanks for another great video. I just had a quick question. How would labelling layers work alongside with chunking the terms?

[@fullandempty]

Can you please make a video on how to best teach a subject and how to best discuss a subject. Thanks for the videos!!

[@EstherBorges-z4t]

hi archer, what app did you use to make the mindmap?

[@sourabhsonkhle1356]

Concept app

[@ExamWork-yx7hu]

How this method useful for mathematics? I am trying to do it but it seems difficult?

[@maximusorbis2548]

Any advice for learning about math and computer science using this method? I’ve done the pre study method from one of your earlier videos and it helped a lot but I don’t know if math and science should require more active recall like doing questions and sample exams

[@terencecheng8213]

thanks for the video, is this method applicable to subjects like psychology? thanks

[@ArcherNewton]

Yep!

[@grzegorzrzepkowski6078]

How to deal with the fact that mindmaps are kinda bad for revision? What's the point of making a mindmap when it takes some time whereas you could make some flashcards in Anki and let the algorithm plan your revisions later on?

[@mrcrazernut]

The problem with flashcards is that they become less sustainable as you learn more.

[@knw-seeker6836]

Do you actually look for a simpler meaning/definition of the key words?

[@Tstep45_qr]

Justin mentions about finding a simpler definition to get our head around the keyword It prevents overwhelm

[@patrickjohnbenedictlimos4674]

In using AI to define some of the key terms, would it hurt me in the long run to ask it to simplify the explanation to that of a 5 year old?

[@ArcherNewton]

Nope! But eventually u want to learn the more complex definitions. I often ask it to simplify it to me first

[@bhavanasri484]

Re-upload live video

[@weatherlight8145]

after “dr justin sung” and “senior” learning coach i couldnt continue watching

[@MaZaKeRaL]

Is it the same as the layering method in money laundering?

[@panananananana]

but then why don't the relationships you've thought about 'stick'?

[@Tstep45_qr]

Because mind mapping or note taking is about keeping track of our thoughts The entire learning takes place in the brain.

[@panananananana]

@Tstep45_qr hmm you're right! I just hope I can figure this out in time for my exams so I can get 75%+...

I hate the apple pencil so much. So heavy and a plastic tip

[@baebae_jae]

I was wondering why ppl always talking about the top , the best , the one not ppl mention about the second is f dude , more faster , more efficient more effective ... Like WTF everyone everything talking about shitty a holygrail in commercial or in the education, in the learning , in the technique , in the tips and exc like stpd af dude everyone talking about the best so who should im listen about
