      @@ayamgoreng9083 I recently stumbled across HIM (not because he's him, but because we're all striving to be him is his motto, pretty solid, lmao), and his videos reached me at a good time in my life. I'm 28, but I take this kid seriously.
      Because while I think a lot of self-improvement misses the point, and most men would do a lot better in life if they found an overarching PURPOSE to aim for instead of just trying to level up attributes arbitrarily, he has said some good stuff about self talk/self programming that I was in a position to finally listen to.

    1. go outside when focusing.
    2. be self aware if you're in autopilot by identifying those floating thoughts, and identify when you're focused which will feel like you have a spotlight on what you're looking at or listening to.
    3. set your intentions from the beginning on what you want to gain which will subconsciously filter anything else out.
    4. whatever you just learned, recite it back to yourself and what the most interesting part of it was.
    (and if you snap out of your focus, celebrate that victory that you were focused to begin with, and it'll all get easier with time).

    Setting intentions actually boost attention span, my method is, whenever I am doing ANYTHING, I do it with full intention and try to be as present in the moment so I have a control over my actions, so the outcome is more fruitful, and about reading, I just set my mind to, almost subconsciously convince my brain is that my only task now is to absorb everything thats written, analyse immediately and have an opinion, works everytime

    I really like this, thanks for sharing. I would contend the third point, that you begin each reading with a specified intention. While I think this is good advice in general, it is important to remain flexible and open to new ideas and unexpected information from the reading.

  • @ConquerallYT
    @ConquerallYT 18 дней назад +6

    That is great advice, what I would add right after that final step when you are summarize everything you read, to actually write it down somewhere and revisit it from time to time, with your opinions and own notes. Because in a year or two you won't simply remember all of that, it's impossible, but if you have your little summary to read back you will. This was life changing for me.
    I use Obsidian to write everything down, i'll make a video about that on my channel in the future if anyone is interested.

    My method.
    1) read a paragraph
    2) write a note (using phone, pc or paper) about it without extra information, only facts. But in other words.
    3) read your resume and describe it in 2 words
    4) go on to the next paragraph till the chapter ends
    5) look at your titles and retell everything you remember out loud. Check with the book
    6) correct your notes
    That's it. Takes a lot of time ~15 min per page. But makes you sure that you can remember every line in the book

    VISUALISE... and live inside of the information. That's how you retain everything. You brain finds it a lot easier to recall a series of events if they are associated strongly with each other, ordered and organised. If you simply read and don't organise, you will forget it within a day or 2.

    It's also much easier to do this in the morning when the brain is most calm. The calmer, less turbulent the mind is when learning, the higher chance information will sink in. And at the end of it all, a good night's sleep will lock it into long term memory. Sleep is most important 💤💤💤

    Watching a sped up 5min video in 1.5x also makes the wandering thoughts disappear as you're forced to completely focus on the ideas you hear and you don't have time to subvocalize it. Ideally I think the best way to read is to focus on your inner voice like you're listening to a sped up vid as you'll be able to focus for way longer if you manage to rewire your brain to get used to it. Skimming is reading only the important words like nouns and verbs but the brain needs some time to really encode in short term memory hence why it's better to read slowly with subvocalisation.

    That's exactly like some language learning courses. There's speaking, reading, and writing.

There's speaking to the tutors who try to make it and make sense.

    • @Riley46SelfHelp

      It's an Assyrian symbol for their Pagan god Ashur. I used it as a representation of Assyrian paganism. However, yes. Those two symbols are both very similar to each other in design.

    Thank you for your valuable knowledge. In return I'd like to help you as well. Feel free to delete this comment after you've read it if you'd like. It's just for you. And it's intended to help you, and not embarrass you.
    Replace your pillow case with a new one and avoid [pasteurized non-raw] dairy for 1 week and you have an 75%+ chance that all that your acne will clear up. Your pores are trying to get rid of a toxin either because the toxin is still coming in, your pores don't open and close well (collagen, i.e. bone broth), or they're blocked (dirty pillow case, constantly touching face, not scrubbing your face well enough in the shower; but usually all of the above).
    Screenshot this comment. Then try it. If it works for you, feel free to do a video on it and take credit for it. Just take before and after pictures and log your diet as you do it. If it's not dairy, it's another food. Possibly some sort of additive. During this week swap your pillow cases and pillow-side like every 1-2 days. If that doesn't work, try a non-toxic no-scent, no-dye, no-perfume clear laundry detergent and do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets, which coats everything in pore-blocking gunk.
    Good luck!

    I like your books, but I found the Assyria book a bit disappointing. I wanted more information about the army and warfare. I'm 55, and have loved history all my life. The most entertaining history book(s) I have read is the Byzantium trilogy by John Julius Norwich. He is a brilliant narrative writer. Anyway good video, from one Reilly to another Riley !

    • @Riley46SelfHelp
      @Riley46SelfHelp  21 день назад +2

      The Assyria book was quite nice, but he doesn't go into much detail about the military. I'd love another book that does so because I am sure the Assyrian military was very unique at the time.
      I might get Byzantium Trilogy considering I am still interested in learning Byzantine history.

    • @Riley46SelfHelp
      @Riley46SelfHelp  Месяц назад

      The idea is to focus on reading itself. When you're actually locked in and focusing on what the book is telling you, that should stop the distracting thoughts from swimming around.

    • @alexandertoro6984
      @alexandertoro6984 Месяц назад

      You can try highlighting or underlining the words that are more meaningful to you in whatever you just read. The point is to engage with the text as you read. Ask questions, learn words and concepts, create mental schemes that help you simplify the information. Also, it becomes easier with practice. Start by focusing just on a couple of pages a day.

    My two cents: just try to write something meaningful about parts of the text in the margins next to each part you think you can write something meaningful about. IMO that's the difference between actually gaining understanding versus accumulating illusory "insights". Why? Because it forces you to look at whether what you write has a meaningful relation to the text it's written next to or is just jumping off of it but then veering off into speculation.

Contrary to that if I go out and look for a book for a specific reason, give myself some questions I'm trying to answer by reading this book, I'm so much more likely to read it and actually take value from it.

    Please remember me/us when you get famous, like becoming huge creator. Anyways, this was a very informative video. Knowledge of the "Thinking Fast & Slow" get distilled down into a simple 4 mins video that ppl enjoy to watch

    If I'm interested in the information or the story, then I would just focus God willing. Focusing on perfecting the mental circumstances may be more distracting. Thanks for the information though, we should examine it through verification.
