It's interesting you bring up OSA - (sleep apnea). I'm a registered respiratory therapist working in the field of sleep disturbances, OSA and anesthesia (entropy/EEG)....working along numerous different medicine disciplines (MDs/PhDs day in and day out; I cannot believe after being in my field for over 16 years and almost to my doctorate, I never objectively pieced these concepts together. It goes to show you, listen intently to someone with a different perspective. You may just learn something. Much
I hated in highschool when we would switch classes immediately without having enough time to go back and review our notes or what we had just learned. I think thats what makes high school hard
This helped a lot , went from getting Ds to my accounting exams to getting As. For the people asking. All I did was study early on alternative days for courses. I use to study a bunch a few days before the exams but instead I just studied an hour or so right after class. Then I would just do some extra practice on the weekends. It definitely doesn’t work the same for everyone with some of my friends more comfortable studying a week or so before an exam. I guess I just retained information and concepts more after I spread out the studying on a long term basis.
Zeeyad B Nah man I’m probably the worst student, but it’s just self control, planned study times that are focused, and studying very very early, and about 1-2 hours every day instead of cramming, it definitely helped
@@DanneoYT does it really sound reasonable to expect an 8th grader to think about how to study effectively when they dont feel the need to study smarter since they have their parents reminding them all the time? The only real time students consider this is when they are in college and dont have anyone breathing down their back to get their work done its not feasible to expect someone at a young age to just suddenly think of responsible things like this to do
Young people arnt that naive, 8th graders are probably thinking about getting a job soon or something like that, most if not all are thinking about their future, its up to them whether they're gonna flunk school or not. According to your logic, what happens if school does teach you how to study smarter? Will 8th graders even care or pay attention? Some will, but studying effectively requires discipline, effort and handwork which isnt easy due to the countless distraction present nowadays. I believe the biggest lessons are learnt from our mistakes and school cant make our mistakes for us, your study habits may be ineffective at first, but its the own individuals responsibility to recognise that, its something he has to refine for himself as studying is different for everyone. Studying effectively is a process, it may be ineffective in 8th grade, but you learn to see what works and what doesnt, so by the time you are in 12th grade your study habits are unique to you, and if you havent gotten an idea on how to study by college its your own god damn fault, stop blaming it on education. Only thing i learnt in school is how to study by myself lol
_"The more active you are in your learning the more effective it is" so true. I noticed that whenever I try to explain something I've just learned to another person or simply talk to myself repeating that information in my own words, I will remember things so much better_
This is so true. I have many friends who study for 5-6 hours straight right after school. Yet, they still don't score as well as they wanted to and they are actually more stressed as well. Most students don't study effectively at all. You can definitely study effectively in 1 hour and do a lot more than what you would've done in 5 hours uneffectively, wasting your time. Also, students generally just study for the test and for the grade but why aren't they taking school as an opportunity to learn and educate themselves on several subjects instead of just cramming stuff into your head that you'll forget after the test? This makes school useless and a waste of time.
Oceana Parys Most of the things that we learn in school are useless and won’t help us in the future. If it would’ve been the case that everything we learnt in school was going to be helpful in the future we would’ve been on Mars now lol.
You know there is people who by nature can learn faster and everybody know fitness training is good for you for your health and look and yet why peopel are not doing its not easy and for everyone so. Wathcing 12 video about how to learn smart is same as video how to get rich or to bet, some people succed so it works right its so easy
All my life i was a below average student guys. It took me 22 years to realise that "we need to understand what we study on and focus on it" .i study clinical dietetics and boy its hard but i swear to you . If you just take the general idea of what youre studying, take breaks frequently (at least 10 minute ones per 30-40 minutes of study) and focus on it you will do AMAZING !!! i follow this and now im one of the top in my class and i love it. And i only study 2 hours per day 2 months before the semester ends. But when i study i study and when i take a break i take a break. Follow that and you will do good enough.
JoeySkate24 I have an exam on Monday, today’s Thursday. Would’ve started yesterday but, work got in the way. I’ll take your advice and let you know how it goes, also as help for other people who see this comment. :)
Make the most out of today. Time is precious. Stop wasting it. Go work out, go study, be with people who lift you up, who inspire you. If not, watch these kind of videos to motivate you to build the greater version of YOU. Life is too short to waste it on negative people and/or negative energy. You can do anything you put your mind to. Self belief is key. MAJOR KEY. Believe it and you sure will acheive. Wish you a wonderful and a productive day
"Consolidation is dependent on sleep. Need 8 hours of sleep. Need better rest your performance will improve. ..your memory will improve." Sleep better you'll do better " You nailed it!
Cheers for this, been searching for "best studying techniques for memorizing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Yiyevi Ponevi Approach - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.
TIP 1. study as soon as u get a book and topic but not 1 day before the exam. TIP 2. when studying always take brakes, it refreshes memory and does not make u suffer while studying. TIP 3. Before studying scheme through everything, ask question and enjoy what you are trying to read THESE TIPS ARE WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE VIDEO AND I BELIEVE IT WILL WORK 100%. TIP #1 IS MOST IMPORTANT.
Just failed analytical chemistry, I'll have to carry it this semester and I'll have 5 courses while everyone else takes 4. This really hurts. I want to do great so bad this semester, I'll do whatever it takes. This is helpful. Thank you.
Like this if you wish we could summarize all of your hour-long classes into 10-minute motivational videos 😁 Edit: If you signed up to receive the notes and didn't receive them in your email box within 10 minutes send me an email at joel@motivation2study.com and I will forward them to you! Sorry about that!
Nice video usually human minds have a 30 - 60 minute window attention span if we need to do something if its entertaining then it goes longer this video could have worked better for me while I was in school to push myself better thanks
i tried only the time managing system and it is very effective when like for 40 and then take 15 min break and come back at it you will study more than than 3 hour straight .
I was stressed thinking that I haven't been doing much compared to others because they don't sleep much. After this video, I realised that I have my ways and that I'm studying smart. Thank you. This is the exact boost I needed.
This video has helped me so much. Before watching this, I was trying to memorize facts, rather than understanding concepts. But when understanding concepts, memorizing facts becomes easier. I was studying Biology and simply studied with just "I need to graduate/pass upcoming exams" in mind, rather than just appreciating the subject and the fact that I actually love science. After this video, I understood everything much more clearly!
I have been reading from six p.m to midnight but still didn't get anything..... So... I started waking up earlier ,but still wasn't understanding..... But this video has really helped me.... I am doing my exams in two weeks and I'm now starting to understand that topic in geography and science.... Thanks for nearly helping not only mine but others school lives... Thank you! 🙏💕🌠
Tip: Start studying for the final exam or even the midterm on the first day of your semester. Don't wait. God bless you, and may He always help you get A+'s and that you retain every important valuable info required . Amen in Jesus Christ precious name
I like the 30 minute study + 5 minute break. I tried it, but my problem is, once i take a break, it's hard for me to get back to studying. I just want to stay on the break afterwards, and not go back to studying. I don't know, this method hasn't been effective for me. Any suggestions?
You don't have to do 5-minute breaks every 25/30 minutes (Pomodoro technique) You do what works for you. If the material is interesting and you are getting shit done, why pause? Pause every 2 hours. (It's easy to forget to make pauses when you are focused, which can make you exhausted though) But if the material is annoying and hard to go through, just make pauses with rewards in order to be on track.
Simply get rid of all distractions in your study area, use your breaks to have quick snacks or washroom breaks or even just lay back and think about what your going to do for the next 30 mins. Try to do unfocused work!! I believe in you !!!
i found that using my phone during this 5 minutes break makes it more than that. so i try not to use my phone & turn off the cellular data until i am completely done or time for my long break. instead during the 5 mins break, i just listen to one song & clear my head or do a few exercises to stretch my muscles as i have back & knee problems from sitting too long for studying.
Try to alternate study topics. Dont retake the topic if you know you are tired or bothered. Try other topic , when you finish that you will naturally want to retake the boring topic with new perpesctive.
I'm watching this and tears actually start flowing from my eyes. I've been struggling with school for more than 10 years now (I'm 24 in september) and I have a lot of exams in August and I didn't know what to do different to succeed, cause I have been trying and failling and this is my hardest semester ever. And I feel like my future really depends on this one. I have been stressed and depressed since June, since I got my results. It is so bad no one thinks I'll succeed and I can't blame them because I don't believe in myself either. But I know this advice here is the best I ever got and I will apply it as of today. I might still not pass my year given I only have a few weeks left but I am hopeful now and I know I'll do way better than if I hadn't gotten this advice. Thank you so much !! I'll rewatch this video to make sure it sticks. Thank you ! Goodluck to anyone struggling in school, you are not dumb, you just wasn't taught the right methods. Apply every good advice you can find and I trust you will succeed. Let's do this ❤️🔥
I believe in you. Ofcourse you will succeed in life. Just relax and breathe. Don't worry about who thinks you are a failure. There are people who won't support or encourage you on your journey for a number of reasons, like 1. They think you are more privileged than them- the fact that you got accepted to a university and was able to do a science related subject shows that you have the capabilities. 2) They think you're lucky or you got lucky- they'll try to undermine your success and make it their duty to point out the things that went wrong in your life. They never speak positivity or encouragement. 3) They see you going places and they don't like that- if you and them are coming from the same place and they see you rising up from poverty, trying to improve yourself, getting an education or getting opportunities they will mostly like not support you. It's not because they don't like you, but it's because they look at your life and feel bad about theirs. You're everything they wished to achieve. You're everything they know they can't be. You've done everything and will do everything they didn't do and can't do. Don't take it personally. 4) They don't like you to have bigger dreams than them- if you talk to them about your dreams, goals, aspirations and plans then they might not always be happy for you. Especially if they know that you have the ambition, drive and potential to accomplish those things they'll try to deter you. That's where keeping silent about your business becomes important. Keep your goals and plans to yourself. You don't need anyone's approval. As long as it's what you want, you have the self-motivation and you know it will add value to yours and other's life then go for it. All I want you to do is just focus on yourself and improving your mental health. If you can give some a break for a few weeks then do so. Like how we are in the COVID-19 Pandemic, it's probably one of the best time to do some self reflection and improvement. School is out so now you've got some alone time. I would really suggest you read some self-help and personal development books. Here are my recommendations: 1. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle 2. The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer 3. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey 4. Think and Grow Rich: The Original 1937 Unedited Version by Napoleon Hill 5. Daring Greatly by Brené Brown 6. Man's Search For Meaning by Victor E. Frankl 7. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell 8. The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra 9. Atomic Habits by James Clear 10. A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle I have some more books to recommend that I think are amazing and life changing. If you need the complete list which is about 150 books then let me know. You don't have to read every single one but I'll tell you which are the absolute best. Stay Blessed😘
if ur struggling so much then u suck at it but that doesnt mean u hv to keep trying unless thats wt ur goal is if ur good at smtg or even have a hobby then get good at it and ull prolly shine...trust me ik its been one whole yr but im sure ur still stuck in the same situation and exam pressure is terrible...hear me out and do smtg ur interested in...peace
I start studying for my exams and finals the day school starts. Spend an hour reviewing old and new material for the exam each day or every other day then finals on the weekend. And I always try and get 8 hrs of sleep or else I can’t study the next day. It helps to prevent cramming and then you can easily search for questions you have the day before the exam and not miss out on reviewing. Over time, reviewing can be as short as 30 minutes and then have free time after
I get used to teachers getting angry for not read before the class, but for me is waisted time. I learn more if I read after the class and is more interesting. (Sorry for bad English )
They just want you to know what's going on in the lecture. It's better for you if you prepare the lecture and understand the concepts of the subject. This way you'll understand the subject way better and you'll even get the chance to ask questions! You'll be able to save a lot of time by doing so.
it's the dumbest advice, how many of you guys don't have another class to go to after your lecture? all my lectures are back to back in the morning, followed by labs in the afternoon...so in order to do something like this, i have to skip classes and/or labs...it's dumb. nothing in school is hard to learn, it's being able to learn it fast enough to be ready for the next thing to learn that's difficult
Studied as planned 10days of "The last month " of my exam... but just suffering from 11th day till tdy .... #exhausted, poor efficiency...and now this video gave me hope.. fresh start ..learn to take break and stop being guilty.. thank you😃
Exams are here 😵 and the holidays are fast approaching so we decided to make a motivational video with advice on how to study more effectively! This motivational video summarizes Marty Lobdell's famous 1-hour long lecture "Study Less Study Smart". To go with the video we wrote detailed summary notes to help you understand the key points. We also added a few points that we couldn't fit in the video. If you're interested you can download them here for free: bit.ly/StudyLessStudySmartNotesByM2S -- Note: If I get time to expand on these notes I will send everyone who downloads them the updated version! Also, let me know if you would you like to see more video/lecture summaries like this one! From our summary notes: "A University study showed that students that turned a lamp on ONLY when they studied and then turned it off when they left their desk (or weren't studying) had on average a GPA of 1.0 or higher than the control group."
I just had a very bad result in my 3rd semester. I was nudging along a CGPA of 2.93 and I had full aim this time to push it up 3.00.Unfortunately my GPA fell to 2.06 this semester and I was literally crying when my result came out. This video brought tear to my eyes.I had been doing the same mistakes and getting angry over my self for not getting good scores.
This is exactly what I needed right now. I've never really thought about how to study effectively or how to improve my study habits. All I've done is just ram information into my brain forcefully with hope that it will stick long enough to move onto the next thing I need to learn. I know I've been in need of a new strategy, and I think I've found it.
This actually helped me found out the reason why i failed for an exam which I worked really hard for. Sleeping at midnight and waking up early in the morning, forcing myself to study a subject which I hate the most, and moreover Studing hard but not smart was the biggest flaw I made. Thank u so much for helping me figure out all these and so, now i won't make that mistake again!.
Exactly what I've been doing wrong - studying too much, putting too much pressure and stress on myself and feeling frustrated that I haven't taken in more material. On top of that I've been sleeping poorly. Everything altogether is making me feel nauseous, so I've taken a step back to relax and take care of myself. I know I want a good education and I know I can do it, but I've been missing the right approach. Thank you because I've been noticing myself that when I can relax I'm more open to learning, rather than stressing and not being able to focus.
This is actually my saviour. I started out the new high school year pretty badly. But I seriously want to get better after the following year, and this is the best advice ever. Thank you so much for posting this
You guys want a more understandable tip? Sleep at least 8 hours every night. After school consultate with teacher so she could explain you more about the thing you learned today. Go home, expand your notes about the thing you are learning with book or internet information. When you feel it’s enough, then leave your desk.( and maby have some sleep.) Before you go to school, try to remember what you were doing yesterday, try to understand what you were writing in those notes. When you go to school. Study your notes or information in book or internet. *this is my personal experience and I had 3 months left before exams, some how I made it with pretty good results* ! And remember! *if you are having exams this year, you should ask teacher what kind of exercises will be waiting you in exams, go and consultate with your teacher about older tests that were years earlier , that will be waiting you on the exams*
I study a lot but my result never proved it all the time, cuz I study a lot but didn't have good concept each and every time, so I learned now to develop a good concept, Thankyouu
your first sentence is really powerful and is the difference between a lot of students. even if you aren't the best, the fact that you always give your all is so great. good luck on your exams!
If you wait till the week of exams to give it your best, no you will not. The top 5 have been putting in effort all semester long and you're way behind at that point. But if you give it your best all semester like they are, when the test finally rolls around you can be up there. Hope your tests went well.
OMG this should be thought as soon as we start school learning... It's actually touching something painful. All those wasted years of fear, stress, self punishment, lack of confidence, low self esteem, thinking I am dumb, embarrassment in conversations with 'good' students etc etc...I wish I knew this 45 years ago. I have passed it on to my children. They can benefit from this. Thank you, thank you!!!
I think majority of the times they post a video they think that it's only college students that are watching but hey, I'm a young teenager here and I'm glad I found this channel as early as possible. Thank you so much for the wonderful content. Much love
he sounds like a great professor/lecturer. would pay to get to talk to him and ask for his advice on studying. he sounds like the type of person that, provided you ask informed questions, would be able to give you just the perfect advice and reassurance AND a couple of bonus examples on what he just talked about. thank you sir and i hope you have a great day.
there's a couple things which could use some expounding imo The first advice is absolutely crucial when it comes to all kinds of subjects that require you to do a lot of fact learning. Whenever you learn something, there needs to be a proper medium between new and old - it has to be new enough so that it's interesting but it also needs to be relatable so you can connect that new knowledge with something you already know and exactly this process takes place when you go over your notes and try to put it in your own words. If you ignore this step, it will stay too abstract and useless and you just forget it. Effective (great volume used efficiently over longer periods of time) study always has to do with habits. Will power is a limited resource that you wanna be careful with spending. This is the reason why you need to develop cues that get you into learning. These cues are usually processes that you want to set up and have to do with time, place and a trigger. Like being at place X at time Y and for example listening to that one song before you start studying. If you manage to develop such a habit, making yourself start studying becomes a lot easier. But for that to really work effectively, you need to also value what you learn, it has to be important for your path (Jordan Peterson talks about that quite a bit if you're interested in that). What's also important when you study greater topics is to know the topic for that day and have a partition of your studying into (usually) 3 phases. First you wanna review. The reason for that is because that's super important but also easy on you. The greater the goals are, the harder it is to sit down in the first place and when you tell yourself that you're just gonna first review what you did last time, it makes the start easier and that's half the battle. Afterwards comes the intense learning phase of the new material. Towards the end you wanna go through the structure of what you did and also develop a cue for ending your study. If you don't have a proper cue for ending your study time, you will continue thinking about it and that again eats into your breaks and makes them more inefficient. Being healthy overall is ofc crucial. Being healthy includes physical aspects (a balanced diet, enough sleep and exercising), emotional aspects (good relation with parents, friends, partner) and having goals (career, hobbies). You can miss some of those or have a bit of an imbalance without it causing much issue, but if you neglect these aspects too much, things will start collapsing. Study when you're in good shape and don't study too much. I can personally study extremely efficiently throughout a whole day when i'm well rested and got enough pressure but that has grave consequences, as I need at least 1-2 days of rest and I kill off my habits this way. A really reasonable amount of study time is 3-4 hours a day (outside of classes), 5 days a week. If you really need and want more, 6 is the absolute maximum. If you do more than that you build up exhaustion and on top of that you kill your motivation for that subject. The most effective times to study are IMO after breakfast and after lunch, with at least a 1hour break. Whatever you study, there are priorities. Good teachers will highlight what their priorities are, but good students also develop an eye for which topics have higher priority. This is a skill to constantly improve, test and reflect on. We waste way too much time studying things that don't matter. And there are way too many teachers that display the important contents of their subject in a non-transparent way or create tests that don't test crucial knowledge - which is incredible bad for your education. Think about what knowledge is crucial and how it could be tested and study in that way. Breaks. Breaks are about as important as your study time itself is. Everyone's a bit different when it comes to intervals of study time and breaks, try and develop a system that works well for you and make sure you don't only schedule study time but also the enjoyable things you wanna do that day. One of the most crucial aspects of breaks is that they actually have to let you reenergize. There are 2 crucial aspects for that. Firstly, you can't put stress on the same parts of the brain that you have been using all that time while studying. This applies to your small breaks during your study time but also to the time when you're finished. You just further exhaust yourself. Reading and watching videos for example usually accesses the exact same area. However, if you have conversations with people, social events or do something immersive that includes bodily activities, it actually allows yourself to recuperate as it accesses different energy. Secondly, the "treats" during your study time shouldnt be too good or you just start doing that instead. The real treats come after you actually finished studying for the day (which is also why you wanna study early in the day, so you have time in the evening to actually have a life). As mentioned in the video, you shouldn't wait until the very last moment and then try to do everything at once. But pressure can also be used as an effective tool as it will always have a great driving and motivational force. However, the key to using pressure correctly is to develop the ability to calculate the necessary study time beforehand. This way, you will feel the motivating pressure but it will not have a negative influence on your study performance. The reason why pressure is so useful is because it forces you to focus on the crucial aspects of studying and nothing else. If you study without pressure, you will be a lot less effective because you're not target-oriented.
No but I'm a student myself and have been for a while. I'm also quite interested on the topic and read/watched quite a bit about it, in particular Joshua Waitzikin's "The Art of Learning" and Cal Newport's "Deep Work" are pretty ok
How could I treat myself. I will usually be in the library it seems like RUclips video, or getting a book might just cause the same stress what else could I do?
when it comes to your small breaks inbetween studying, get out for some fresh air, have a coffee, a small snack and/or talk with a friend who's around. I personally study at home and sometimes just practice piano/guitar as this activity as well as social interactions are very immersive and get your mind off studying
Wow I been looking for this for 15 years . It take me 8 years to get a four year degree . Now Iam back in school for masters for Substance abuse. Therapist. Also become an Master hairstylist counselor for substance-abuse and I’m also in real-estate. ♥️🕉📖 I needed this thank u
Im in 7th grade, and I need to bring up my grade in math, mostly because I love math. It disappoints me that my grades are so low. After watching this video, it inspired me. Thank you :)
I'm here after failing my French exam, I feel so worthless. I have more exams this week and I'm wasting my time on dwelling. I can't get over the fact that all my friends did great but not me. I have a lot of dreams I work hard for them. That is why I'm gonna get over it I will succeeded my other subjects they are more important. I'll come back here later feeling good about myself. Never give up, work hard, don't dwell, you can make it. If you have a dream go and get it failure is the best part of the successful journey. Period!
My school is a French school so if you fail French you literally won't pass the year plus we learn Arabic and English so it's really complicated but anyway wish you all the best!!!
I've heard the same thing if you study for a long time it's inefficient and then you hate to study. I've studied a lot like this. gotta start doing this a bit different. Thank you for tips! :)
One of the best things I learned in college and I use it at work now, is to write all the things that your thinking about or worrying on the corner of the page and leave it there. Don't think about those things on the top of the page until your done.
I actually want to thank you soooo much for actually teaching me something instead of all those high subscriber channels which teach u close to nothing or maybe even the wrong concepts. I have learnt sooo much from this video than I probably would ever will for 20 videos combined. Thank you. I'll try to put this in my revision
If your textbook has review questions at the end of the chapter it's a really good idea to read these as a part of 'surveying'. That way when you go through the chapter your mind will be looking for the answers to those questions. This is especially powerful at uni if your lecturer writes the content and practice questions for your course as well as the final exam.
Study More or less Just have the guts to start it And Enjoy while doing it No motivational video will be required after then Just don't be motivated, Be driven my friend
My exam has finished..I am a student that always fail in my class every single exam..But after watching to this video,it is unbeliavable..I got 4A,3A-,2B..
I’m so excited for school now!! I always would let my anxiety get the best of me, but it was my fault for failing I did it to myself no one can be held accountable but yourself but in the end it’s who gets up and tries again
This is so crazy. I went back to school pretty late and was nervous because I wasn't always the best at studying. But this time around, i was getting straight A's and i found myself doing a lot of what this video pointed out. Especially since I was taking science classes, understanding the material tip is def 💯
How many of you have exam tomorrow and realize it's hopeless as you watch this, so you let go this time thinking you'll study for next one everyday, attending all the classes but eventually somehow end up in the same situation?
I watched this and scored 85% in my exam recently. It gave me such a profound understanding of my learning. I was just scraping through before - now I feel like I’m prepared for my final year.
Have 2 assignments overdue for a week & I have my exam Friday. Watching this video makes me feel guilt on why I didn't start earlier. Why? Because I get frustrated to easily. I want instant pleasure, instant gratification. Even studying for 10 mins takes immense willpower. Even though I know what wrong with me I have trouble correcting myself. But, this video's concept of taking a break & rewarding yourself sounds very appealing. Maybe I'll try it see how it goes. Hopefully studying 2 days before is better then not studying at all. Wish me luck :)
Powerful I remember my system of study I have put in place after reading a book I think in French it is call something like how to improve your memory. So I have three step study method first step I read diligently my note as soon as I get home. Second step early in the morning first thing I read again the note and try to memorise them step three in evening read again but this time rewrite the what I have memorised but using my own words. And few days later I revisit my notes again and so on.
Nala, you actually end up saving time. Let me explain. You don't have to endlessly gruel over your notes until you have them 100% memorized, word for word, every time you go through your notes. Instead, just look over them for 10-30 minutes. Absorb what you can, but don't worry if everything doesn't click right away. Instead of trying to remember the information, try to UNDERSTAND it. I'll give a couple examples. For a math problem, you shouldn't memorize formulas, you should understand why the formula works and be able to create the formula yourself by thinking about what you're trying to do in the big picture. In physics, you don't have to memorize that (Pressure) x (Volume) = (Temperature) x (Constant). Instead, you should understand why this is true, understand the chemistry and physics behind it all, and through that understanding you should be able to figure it out without memorizing. If you have a glass box full of air, and the temperature increases, then that means the particles are moving faster. If particles are moving faster, that means they are bumping into each other and the glass walls more often and with more force. If particles are bumping into the walls more often and with more force, then they are basically pushing against the glass walls. If the particles are pushing the glass harder, this means that there is more pressure on the glass. So you just used understanding and logic to figure out that an increase in temperature causes an increase in pressure. Now imagine that, instead of a glass box, this happens in a balloon. The particles push harder against the inside of the balloon as temperature increases. BUT, the glass box was not able to expand, so it kept the pressure contained. The balloon CAN expand though. So, as you increase temperature, the volume of the balloon also increases. So now you also know that an increase in temperature can cause an increase in volume. If you UNDERSTAND things, your brain just makes things click. Instead of trying to memorize definitions and equations and patterns, figure out the big picture. A class like Anatomy requires a lot of memorization, but the same concept can be applied. Instead of memorizing the name of each joint the the body, understand how the naming scheme works. The joint is named after the two bones that it connects together. Instead of memorizing that the knee is called the tibiofemoral joint, just think about it. The joint connects your tibia to your femur. Or, instead of memorizing that the shoulder and hip are ball-and-socket joints, that the knee is a hinge joint, and that the neck is a pivot joint, just think about what each of those types of joint means. There's no need to remember that the hip is a ball-and-socket joint, because you can figure it out at any time if you look down at your hip joint and see that is allows movement in nearly all directions. Or if you understand that the head of the femur (shaped like a BALL) goes into a cup-like depression in your pelvis. So, instead of spending all that time trying to memorize all your notes, just read over them here and there at your leisure, try to connect the dots so that you can recognize the big picture. Understand what is going on and why. So if you ever forget something, you can easily figure it out using logic and understanding. Make as many associations as you can. Connect each topic/chapter to one another. Connect what you learned in one class to something completely different you are learning in another class. Memorizing takes way too much time and effort. Once you begin to learn this way, looking through your notes becomes a breeze. Homework doesn't take as long. You don't have to study for as long. You make associations between different topics and classes, so while you're studying something like chemistry, you can be reminded of something you recently learned in your physics class. For example, maybe you need PURE alcohol that has absolutely NO water in it for a reaction you are doing in chemistry class. So, to get rid of all the water in the bottle of rubbing alcohol you use a substance that absorbs water called magnesium sulphate. Well this substance comes in big white chunks, and you COULD just toss those chunks into the bottle of alcohol/water and wait some time for the chunks to eventually absorb the water. BUT, you just remembered what you learned in physics class about surface area. So you realize that if you break the chunk up into much smaller pieces, more of the surface of the magnesium sulphate will be exposed to the alcohol/water mixture, and thus the water will be absorbed faster. Then you remember some even more basic physics and realize that shaking or stirring the mixture causes to move around, which means the magnesium sulphate is constantly contacting new molecules of water to absorb, which allows the water to be absorbed even faster. Kind of like how a big chunk of sugar will dissolve in water slower than the same sugar if it had been ground up, and how both will dissolve faster if you are stirring the mixture. This turned into a huge rant, and it got a bit off topic, but I still think this could help. Good luck!
I’m such a fool lol for my whole academic life, I’ve been memorising the textbook. I thought it was good that I could literally recall the pages of the book and felt that I could get the best grades. Now I know this is totally bs because I must understand what I’m learning. Put it into my own words. Thank you for the video. I hope everyone gets what grades they want this summer.
I'm a homeschool 12 year old child and I cant get the motivation to learn but that was until i watched this video the info this man had given me changed my whole view on studying thank you
I have a D- in math and its something i've just always struggled with my entire life. I forget a lot of things, like everything before this year is hazy and i can't remember anything and the same goes for math. Its a subject where you built onto what you already know but i'm lacking the very basics needed. I need to get my grade to a B to continue onto Geometry next year. I am going to try working towards a better grade in math as well as building time management skills that I can use for my other classes as well. Im going to update every time my grade goes up and see how it goes. Wish me luck!
hey no you are wrong.Belive me you remember the conversation with your friends..what you should do is just study less time..for example if you can only focus for 20 mins just study for that time and make sure you study with full focus for that time and as days go by try increasing your time..you will fell good if you did something with full focus..try this for the sake of my effort :)..
God bless you sir , i used to spend hours studying and get bad grades and feel miserable after words then i just let go , i was sick of it till the point that i was thinking of killing myself everything was ... IS going down hill until i watched this God bless you sir you have saved my life and my future and for that i am forever thankful❤️
Good advice. One tidbit I'll share is called "Control + F" then type whatever you're looking for. Literally saved me hours and hours and hours of skimming through obsolete textbooks. Use everything electronic that you can.
oh! I've been "surveying" my whole academic career and didn't even know it. Never thought skimming the chapter before was actually a good thing. I just did it to procrastinate before actually reading it. Now that I think about it...it always seemed to put me in a better mood to actually read the material after. :D
Truely...Giving tests is imp. Untill one realize where all one is going wrong, study is of no use. 1. Read 2. Think n analyse a bit 3. Make short notes alongside 4. Read again 5. Give test 6. Self review n follow up for the mistakes 7. Repeat! :) ;)
I want to hug the person who runs this channel i watched this a year ago few months before my IGCSE session everyone told me “its too late for u to study these topics u will not memorize them” i was depressed i was crushed by everyone pressuring-me down i watched this then i started not to overthink everything all i did was not think bout the things that he never mentioned like for example that voice in my head that said “u will fail” he never talked bout it like i shouldnt have it there in my head in the first place so i was like “i will ignore that voice and every other voice who will put me down” and i did i had only 3 months left to study Biology,Chemistry and physics and i myself didn’t believe in my self but thx to this ...(i would burst into tears if i was telling u this story irl) i achieved things i didnt think i was capable of achieving i got an A in physics A* in Biology and A in chemistry i love this channel it totally changed my life now ik my potential now Ik that no one should affect me no matter what unless if it is positively ofc I truly thank u for making this video ❤️
The thing you said that caught me the most is to study then reward yourself this really got me thinking hmm.... is this truly the way the human brain learns. by the way, loved your video thanks for the tips this will be very useful for me going to 10th grade because I have always Aced every class except for math it was always Math that I had problems studying with and I thank you for showing me the way to deal with my problems on studying for math and being able to focus and comprehend and remember what i'm learning and not to do just remember something and forget about it after the test or get things mixed up so i thank you i will try and improve on my skills as a learner. my name is Marc-Gregore Lerebours i'm 16 years old Au revoir!
Over here studying this Leafguard Sales Script and I just started intuitively doing this two days ago. Now I know to double down & just SLEEP well. Sleep is the most important part and that’s what I’ve been doing poorly on
perfect video to watch before an allnighter so you can promise yourself that you wont do the same mistakes next time and still do them before next exam
Woahhh! I am suprised and i feel proud, that i had already figured out and knew about this tips and facts about studying?!😨😳 But im actually glad now that people can watch the video and understand what they are doing in the wrong way and correct it. Fabulous video! ♥
WOW! This was profound. I’m a graduate student and just 10 mins of what I just heard could have saved me ten YEARS of studying aimlessly. THANK YOU 🙏
It's interesting you bring up OSA - (sleep apnea). I'm a registered respiratory therapist working in the field of sleep disturbances, OSA and anesthesia (entropy/EEG)....working along numerous different medicine disciplines (MDs/PhDs day in and day out; I cannot believe after being in my field for over 16 years and almost to my doctorate, I never objectively pieced these concepts together. It goes to show you, listen intently to someone with a different perspective. You may just learn something. Much

I hv to start reading smart
that sucks your only finding this information now.
Something they never teach you in school is how to effectively study
Adam Shaw wtf I never heard of that but I wish Canada had it
Make sens hé?!
Matt Hill so true
Indeed. Sadly it's a skill that you must discover and perfect on your own. Teachers just want you to do it, they don't care how
I hated in highschool when we would switch classes immediately without having enough time to go back and review our notes or what we had just learned. I think thats what makes high school hard
This helped a lot , went from getting Ds to my accounting exams to getting As.
For the people asking. All I did was study early on alternative days for courses. I use to study a bunch a few days before the exams but instead I just studied an hour or so right after class. Then I would just do some extra practice on the weekends. It definitely doesn’t work the same for everyone with some of my friends more comfortable studying a week or so before an exam. I guess I just retained information and concepts more after I spread out the studying on a long term basis.
Zeeyad B Nah man I’m probably the worst student, but it’s just self control, planned study times that are focused, and studying very very early, and about 1-2 hours every day instead of cramming, it definitely helped
Pls share your tips.
Wow🥺😍
Okay!! Can you explain how did you study less accounting and got As?
Congratulations
This professor is every students' dream professor... Life saver!!!
You got me man
I didnt get it...
Tell me about it😣
I'm gonna get A+
Mark my words 💪
Go for it
How's that going?

Soo... update?
Its ridiculous how schools dont teach you this at an early age. No wonder education is failing.
EDPs Step Cuzzin Its something you learn yourself...School cant spoon feed you everything
@@DanneoYT does it really sound reasonable to expect an 8th grader to think about how to study effectively when they dont feel the need to study smarter since they have their parents reminding them all the time? The only real time students consider this is when they are in college and dont have anyone breathing down their back to get their work done its not feasible to expect someone at a young age to just suddenly think of responsible things like this to do
Young people arnt that naive, 8th graders are probably thinking about getting a job soon or something like that, most if not all are thinking about their future, its up to them whether they're gonna flunk school or not.
According to your logic, what happens if school does teach you how to study smarter? Will 8th graders even care or pay attention? Some will, but studying effectively requires discipline, effort and handwork which isnt easy due to the countless distraction present nowadays. I believe the biggest lessons are learnt from our mistakes and school cant make our mistakes for us, your study habits may be ineffective at first, but its the own individuals responsibility to recognise that, its something he has to refine for himself as studying is different for everyone. Studying effectively is a process, it may be ineffective in 8th grade, but you learn to see what works and what doesnt, so by the time you are in 12th grade your study habits are unique to you, and if you havent gotten an idea on how to study by college its your own god damn fault, stop blaming it on education. Only thing i learnt in school is how to study by myself lol
Sweet weeby goodness i
Danneo v
Einstein : If you can't explain it ..
You haven't learnt it well...
Ashraf agreed
I'd love to hear Einstein explain quantum mechanics.
Read "Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?" from 1935.
I though " If you can't something complex in simple words then you probably haven't understood it properly" :)
You missed 'simply' word
_"The more active you are in your learning the more effective it is" so true. I noticed that whenever I try to explain something I've just learned to another person or simply talk to myself repeating that information in my own words, I will remember things so much better_
the only problem with studying 'straight after class' is that after each class....I have another class. lmao
martha True Dat.
I was literally thinking that when they said it
Exactly
after at the end of the day...
I was thinking the same lol
This is so true. I have many friends who study for 5-6 hours straight right after school. Yet, they still don't score as well as they wanted to and they are actually more stressed as well. Most students don't study effectively at all. You can definitely study effectively in 1 hour and do a lot more than what you would've done in 5 hours uneffectively, wasting your time. Also, students generally just study for the test and for the grade but why aren't they taking school as an opportunity to learn and educate themselves on several subjects instead of just cramming stuff into your head that you'll forget after the test? This makes school useless and a waste of time.
Oceana Parys Most of the things that we learn in school are useless and won’t help us in the future. If it would’ve been the case that everything we learnt in school was going to be helpful in the future we would’ve been on Mars now lol.
Cos teachers were told do same as a student.they just transfer the stuff to you. Knowledge you can't make use of in real life
That's because they're not focusing on important topics.
School doesn't focus on you understanding the material they more so focus on the scores
You know there is people who by nature can learn faster and everybody know fitness training is good for you for your health and look and yet why peopel are not doing its not easy and for everyone so. Wathcing 12 video about how to learn smart is same as video how to get rich or to bet, some people succed so it works right its so easy
All my life i was a below average student guys. It took me 22 years to realise that "we need to understand what we study on and focus on it" .i study clinical dietetics and boy its hard but i swear to you . If you just take the general idea of what youre studying, take breaks frequently (at least 10 minute ones per 30-40 minutes of study) and focus on it you will do AMAZING !!! i follow this and now im one of the top in my class and i love it. And i only study 2 hours per day 2 months before the semester ends. But when i study i study and when i take a break i take a break. Follow that and you will do good enough.
JoeySkate24 I have an exam on Monday, today’s Thursday. Would’ve started yesterday but, work got in the way. I’ll take your advice and let you know how it goes, also as help for other people who see this comment. :)
how did it go?
VorG Phantom I’ll be honest I slacked a bit but I ended up getting a B+ 👌🏼
good job!
VorG Phantom Thanks bro :D
Make the most out of today. Time is precious. Stop wasting it. Go work out, go study, be with people who lift you up, who inspire you. If not, watch these kind of videos to motivate you to build the greater version of YOU. Life is too short to waste it on negative people and/or negative energy. You can do anything you put your mind to. Self belief is key. MAJOR KEY. Believe it and you sure will acheive. Wish you a wonderful and a productive day
Vaira V'Nathan ❤️❤️❤️
Love and light to you
Thanks for the words of wisdom. I have been procrastinating too much on working out and studying. Time to take action! Best regards from Singapore.
Wish you the best, Roh G! :D you can do it!

Cheers for this, been searching for "best studying techniques for memorizing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Yiyevi Ponevi Approach - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.
Good old SQ3R
Can someone like my comment.. I want to read this from time to time.. it's easier if i can reach here through notification
Let's not forget sleep is important as well
21 savage is my role model now... SKRRRRRT
TIP 1. study as soon as u get a book and topic but not 1 day before the exam.
TIP 2. when studying always take brakes, it refreshes memory and does not make u suffer while studying.
TIP 3. Before studying scheme through everything, ask question and enjoy what you are trying to read
THESE TIPS ARE WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE VIDEO AND I BELIEVE IT WILL WORK 100%. TIP #1 IS MOST IMPORTANT.
Just failed analytical chemistry, I'll have to carry it this semester and I'll have 5 courses while everyone else takes 4. This really hurts. I want to do great so bad this semester, I'll do whatever it takes. This is helpful. Thank you.
2 years later . Did it help ?
Like this if you wish we could summarize all of your hour-long classes into 10-minute motivational videos 😁
Edit: If you signed up to receive the notes and didn't receive them in your email box within 10 minutes send me an email at joel@motivation2study.com and I will forward them to you! Sorry about that!
Motivation2Study yes plzzz 😊
Motivation2Study
You are very helpful for students
Very useful too
Good content
Nice video usually human minds have a 30 - 60 minute window attention span if we need to do something if its entertaining then it goes longer this video could have worked better for me while I was in school to push myself better thanks
Motivation2Study me please,
I will do exactly as he said. God bless this man.
it worked ?
So did you and did it work?
i tried only the time managing system and it is very effective when like for 40 and then take 15 min break and come back at it you will study more than than 3 hour straight .
Alhumdulliah when I sit at my desk for 6 hours I love it, what helps me is taking prayer breaks.
Masha Allah 🤗❣❣
You really are a good girl.
Keep it up👍
Masha Allah my sister :)
Mashallah may god bless you. Keep it up!
Alhamdulillah
I was stressed thinking that I haven't been doing much compared to others because they don't sleep much. After this video, I realised that I have my ways and that I'm studying smart. Thank you. This is the exact boost I needed.
I’m glad he mentioned anatomy because remembering and studying for A&P is harder than I thought
I'm gonna give this a try cause I'm not a person who's good at studying my attention span is very short hopefully this will help
Did it helped you? I really wanna know
Man I wish i watched this video before my first semester at college!
Peter Lustig
icht lustig\ boi ammo watch this for next semester n try do it for my finals. They start next week
This video has helped me so much. Before watching this, I was trying to memorize facts, rather than understanding concepts. But when understanding concepts, memorizing facts becomes easier. I was studying Biology and simply studied with just "I need to graduate/pass upcoming exams" in mind, rather than just appreciating the subject and the fact that I actually love science. After this video, I understood everything much more clearly!
I have been reading from six p.m to midnight but still didn't get anything..... So... I started waking up earlier ,but still wasn't understanding..... But this video has really helped me.... I am doing my exams in two weeks and I'm now starting to understand that topic in geography and science.... Thanks for nearly helping not only mine but others school lives... Thank you! 🙏💕🌠
Tip:
Start studying for the final exam or even the midterm on the first day of your semester.
Don't wait.
God bless you, and may He always help you get A+'s and that you retain every important valuable info required . Amen in Jesus Christ precious name
Thank you very much !!! Be blessed !! Yeshua is Lord and savior of our life :)))
Thank you for the blessings 😊
Alex Gonzales We got some haters...
Alex Gonzales you couldn't just scroll past it, could you😒?
In Jesus Christ Name Amen.
After this, i will change the way i talk to my son. Thanks!
I like the 30 minute study + 5 minute break.
I tried it, but my problem is, once i take a break, it's hard for me to get back to studying. I just want to stay on the break afterwards, and not go back to studying. I don't know, this method hasn't been effective for me.
Any suggestions?
You don't have to do 5-minute breaks every 25/30 minutes (Pomodoro technique)
You do what works for you.
If the material is interesting and you are getting shit done, why pause? Pause every 2 hours.
(It's easy to forget to make pauses when you are focused, which can make you exhausted though)
But if the material is annoying and hard to go through, just make pauses with rewards in order to be on track.
Sometimes you have to force yourself into doing things. It's like working out.
Simply get rid of all distractions in your study area, use your breaks to have quick snacks or washroom breaks or even just lay back and think about what your going to do for the next 30 mins. Try to do unfocused work!! I believe in you !!!
i found that using my phone during this 5 minutes break makes it more than that. so i try not to use my phone & turn off the cellular data until i am completely done or time for my long break. instead during the 5 mins break, i just listen to one song & clear my head or do a few exercises to stretch my muscles as i have back & knee problems from sitting too long for studying.
Try to alternate study topics. Dont retake the topic if you know you are tired or bothered. Try other topic , when you finish that you will naturally want to retake the boring topic with new perpesctive.
I'm watching this and tears actually start flowing from my eyes. I've been struggling with school for more than 10 years now (I'm 24 in september) and I have a lot of exams in August and I didn't know what to do different to succeed, cause I have been trying and failling and this is my hardest semester ever. And I feel like my future really depends on this one. I have been stressed and depressed since June, since I got my results. It is so bad no one thinks I'll succeed and I can't blame them because I don't believe in myself either. But I know this advice here is the best I ever got and I will apply it as of today. I might still not pass my year given I only have a few weeks left but I am hopeful now and I know I'll do way better than if I hadn't gotten this advice.
Thank you so much !! I'll rewatch this video to make sure it sticks. Thank you !
Goodluck to anyone struggling in school, you are not dumb, you just wasn't taught the right methods. Apply every good advice you can find and I trust you will succeed. Let's do this ❤️🔥
I believe in you. Ofcourse you will succeed in life. Just relax and breathe. Don't worry about who thinks you are a failure. There are people who won't support or encourage you on your journey for a number of reasons, like 1. They think you are more privileged than them- the fact that you got accepted to a university and was able to do a science related subject shows that you have the capabilities. 2) They think you're lucky or you got lucky- they'll try to undermine your success and make it their duty to point out the things that went wrong in your life. They never speak positivity or encouragement. 3) They see you going places and they don't like that- if you and them are coming from the same place and they see you rising up from poverty, trying to improve yourself, getting an education or getting opportunities they will mostly like not support you. It's not because they don't like you, but it's because they look at your life and feel bad about theirs. You're everything they wished to achieve. You're everything they know they can't be. You've done everything and will do everything they didn't do and can't do. Don't take it personally. 4) They don't like you to have bigger dreams than them- if you talk to them about your dreams, goals, aspirations and plans then they might not always be happy for you. Especially if they know that you have the ambition, drive and potential to accomplish those things they'll try to deter you. That's where keeping silent about your business becomes important. Keep your goals and plans to yourself. You don't need anyone's approval. As long as it's what you want, you have the self-motivation and you know it will add value to yours and other's life then go for it.
All I want you to do is just focus on yourself and improving your mental health. If you can give some a break for a few weeks then do so. Like how we are in the COVID-19 Pandemic, it's probably one of the best time to do some self reflection and improvement. School is out so now you've got some alone time. I would really suggest you read some self-help and personal development books.
Here are my recommendations:
1. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
2. The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer
3. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
4. Think and Grow Rich: The Original 1937 Unedited Version by Napoleon Hill
5. Daring Greatly by Brené Brown
6. Man's Search For Meaning by Victor E. Frankl
7. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
8. The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra
9. Atomic Habits by James Clear
10. A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
I have some more books to recommend that I think are amazing and life changing. If you need the complete list which is about 150 books then let me know. You don't have to read every single one but I'll tell you which are the absolute best. Stay Blessed😘

Did it work?
if ur struggling so much then u suck at it but that doesnt mean u hv to keep trying unless thats wt ur goal is
if ur good at smtg or even have a hobby then get good at it and ull prolly shine...trust me ik its been one whole yr but im sure ur still stuck in the same situation and exam pressure is terrible...hear me out and do smtg ur interested in...peace
Maybe you are good at something else honey,,,look through your hobbies..IT might even be making a tiktok 🥰
I start studying for my exams and finals the day school starts. Spend an hour reviewing old and new material for the exam each day or every other day then finals on the weekend. And I always try and get 8 hrs of sleep or else I can’t study the next day.
It helps to prevent cramming and then you can easily search for questions you have the day before the exam and not miss out on reviewing. Over time, reviewing can be as short as 30 minutes and then have free time after
Very true. Great intro. Studying right after the class is what always helped me
I get used to teachers getting angry for not read before the class, but for me is waisted time. I learn more if I read after the class and is more interesting. (Sorry for bad English )
that's so true!
It's true but I think it's not enough, the most important thing is prepare to your lessions carefully before go to school
They just want you to know what's going on in the lecture. It's better for you if you prepare the lecture and understand the concepts of the subject. This way you'll understand the subject way better and you'll even get the chance to ask questions! You'll be able to save a lot of time by doing so.
it's the dumbest advice, how many of you guys don't have another class to go to after your lecture? all my lectures are back to back in the morning, followed by labs in the afternoon...so in order to do something like this, i have to skip classes and/or labs...it's dumb. nothing in school is hard to learn, it's being able to learn it fast enough to be ready for the next thing to learn that's difficult
Studied as planned 10days of "The last month " of my exam... but just suffering from 11th day till tdy .... #exhausted, poor efficiency...and now this video gave me hope.. fresh start ..learn to take break and stop being guilty.. thank you😃
I'm computer science student I failed 4 main subject I'm gonna try to achieve at least 80% mark on next exam great video

Love this. My niece is taking online classes for her RN. I just sent this to her to watch. I think it will really help her.
Exams are here 😵 and the holidays are fast approaching so we decided to make a motivational video with advice on how to study more effectively! This motivational video summarizes Marty Lobdell's famous 1-hour long lecture "Study Less Study Smart".
To go with the video we wrote detailed summary notes to help you understand the key points. We also added a few points that we couldn't fit in the video. If you're interested you can download them here for free: bit.ly/StudyLessStudySmartNotesByM2S -- Note: If I get time to expand on these notes I will send everyone who downloads them the updated version! Also, let me know if you would you like to see more video/lecture summaries like this one!
From our summary notes: "A University study showed that students that turned a lamp on ONLY when they studied and then turned it off when they left their desk (or weren't studying) had on average a GPA of 1.0 or higher than the control group."
Motivation2Study every time I study, I already do turn my lamp on and then off when I'm done, and with what you said, is it good?
Motivation2Study what is the name of the speaker in the video???
Motivation2Study thank you
I made my own summarizes notes from the video. Nothing can beat that ;)
@motivation2study I can’t get the notes to download. I have signed up for the email list and it says the notes will be sent but it never arrives!
I just had a very bad result in my 3rd semester. I was nudging along a CGPA of 2.93 and I had full aim this time to push it up 3.00.Unfortunately my GPA fell to 2.06 this semester and I was literally crying when my result came out.
This video brought tear to my eyes.I had been doing the same mistakes and getting angry over my self for not getting good scores.
Who is this professor. Wow. Wish he could teach me
sweetsavvywally u don't need any professor until you yourself set for it....
sweetsavvywally name iz Martin Lobdel
The professors name is Marty Lobdell if you look him up on youtube you can find the whole video of him giving tips.
Ikr he sounds like an amazing teacher
Marty lobdell
This is exactly what I needed right now. I've never really thought about how to study effectively or how to improve my study habits. All I've done is just ram information into my brain forcefully with hope that it will stick long enough to move onto the next thing I need to learn. I know I've been in need of a new strategy, and I think I've found it.
This actually helped me found out the reason why i failed for an exam which I worked really hard for. Sleeping at midnight and waking up early in the morning, forcing myself to study a subject which I hate the most, and moreover Studing hard but not smart was the biggest flaw I made. Thank u so much for helping me figure out all these and so, now i won't make that mistake again!.
I would love to have these kind of teachers in my school.
Sometimes content may be good, but good teaching is the best !
Amazing . they need to teach that in high school .
Final exams this week. ugh.
love the video. :)
naruhinastarr haha same here
+Night fury good luck with your finals!!
naruhinastarr same, good luck m8👌
naruhinastarr weaboo lol
Exactly what I've been doing wrong - studying too much, putting too much pressure and stress on myself and feeling frustrated that I haven't taken in more material. On top of that I've been sleeping poorly. Everything altogether is making me feel nauseous, so I've taken a step back to relax and take care of myself. I know I want a good education and I know I can do it, but I've been missing the right approach. Thank you because I've been noticing myself that when I can relax I'm more open to learning, rather than stressing and not being able to focus.
This is actually my saviour. I started out the new high school year pretty badly. But I seriously want to get better after the following year, and this is the best advice ever. Thank you so much for posting this
You guys want a more understandable tip?
Sleep at least 8 hours every night.
After school consultate with teacher so she could explain you more about the thing you learned today. Go home, expand your notes about the thing you are learning with book or internet information.
When you feel it’s enough, then leave your desk.( and maby have some sleep.) Before you go to school, try to remember what you were doing yesterday, try to understand what you were writing in those notes. When you go to school. Study your notes or information in book or internet. *this is my personal experience and I had 3 months left before exams, some how I made it with pretty good results* ! And remember! *if you are having exams this year, you should ask teacher what kind of exercises will be waiting you in exams, go and consultate with your teacher about older tests that were years earlier , that will be waiting you on the exams*
What's the problem with me it's just that I stress more than studying so I forget what topic i was learning
Alishba Khan thats understandable, ive been stressing out too lately. Try any ways to calm down and try your best in studies!
I study a lot but my result never proved it all the time, cuz I study a lot but didn't have good concept each and every time, so I learned now to develop a good concept, Thankyouu
Did anything change?
Not the best in the class, but I'm always giving my best!
This week i'll have 3 exams, let's see if i can beat the top 5 students!
your first sentence is really powerful and is the difference between a lot of students. even if you aren't the best, the fact that you always give your all is so great. good luck on your exams!
If you wait till the week of exams to give it your best, no you will not. The top 5 have been putting in effort all semester long and you're way behind at that point.
But if you give it your best all semester like they are, when the test finally rolls around you can be up there.
Hope your tests went well.
OMG this should be thought as soon as we start school learning... It's actually touching something painful. All those wasted years of fear, stress, self punishment, lack of confidence, low self esteem, thinking I am dumb, embarrassment in conversations with 'good' students etc etc...I wish I knew this 45 years ago. I have passed it on to my children. They can benefit from this. Thank you, thank you!!!
I think majority of the times they post a video they think that it's only college students that are watching but hey, I'm a young teenager here and I'm glad I found this channel as early as possible.
Thank you so much for the wonderful content.
Much love
he sounds like a great professor/lecturer. would pay to get to talk to him and ask for his advice on studying. he sounds like the type of person that, provided you ask informed questions, would be able to give you just the perfect advice and reassurance AND a couple of bonus examples on what he just talked about. thank you sir and i hope you have a great day.
too late for this semester but i will be revisiting this video right after the next one starts. amazing video.
Thanks, I really think it contains a lot of great advice that will make a difference🍀.
Exactly me today .I have exam .n m late for this sem😭
there's a couple things which could use some expounding imo
The first advice is absolutely crucial when it comes to all kinds of subjects that require you to do a lot of fact learning. Whenever you learn something, there needs to be a proper medium between new and old - it has to be new enough so that it's interesting but it also needs to be relatable so you can connect that new knowledge with something you already know and exactly this process takes place when you go over your notes and try to put it in your own words. If you ignore this step, it will stay too abstract and useless and you just forget it.
Effective (great volume used efficiently over longer periods of time) study always has to do with habits. Will power is a limited resource that you wanna be careful with spending. This is the reason why you need to develop cues that get you into learning. These cues are usually processes that you want to set up and have to do with time, place and a trigger. Like being at place X at time Y and for example listening to that one song before you start studying. If you manage to develop such a habit, making yourself start studying becomes a lot easier. But for that to really work effectively, you need to also value what you learn, it has to be important for your path (Jordan Peterson talks about that quite a bit if you're interested in that).
What's also important when you study greater topics is to know the topic for that day and have a partition of your studying into (usually) 3 phases. First you wanna review. The reason for that is because that's super important but also easy on you. The greater the goals are, the harder it is to sit down in the first place and when you tell yourself that you're just gonna first review what you did last time, it makes the start easier and that's half the battle. Afterwards comes the intense learning phase of the new material. Towards the end you wanna go through the structure of what you did and also develop a cue for ending your study. If you don't have a proper cue for ending your study time, you will continue thinking about it and that again eats into your breaks and makes them more inefficient.
Being healthy overall is ofc crucial. Being healthy includes physical aspects (a balanced diet, enough sleep and exercising), emotional aspects (good relation with parents, friends, partner) and having goals (career, hobbies). You can miss some of those or have a bit of an imbalance without it causing much issue, but if you neglect these aspects too much, things will start collapsing.
Study when you're in good shape and don't study too much. I can personally study extremely efficiently throughout a whole day when i'm well rested and got enough pressure but that has grave consequences, as I need at least 1-2 days of rest and I kill off my habits this way. A really reasonable amount of study time is 3-4 hours a day (outside of classes), 5 days a week. If you really need and want more, 6 is the absolute maximum. If you do more than that you build up exhaustion and on top of that you kill your motivation for that subject. The most effective times to study are IMO after breakfast and after lunch, with at least a 1hour break.
Whatever you study, there are priorities. Good teachers will highlight what their priorities are, but good students also develop an eye for which topics have higher priority. This is a skill to constantly improve, test and reflect on. We waste way too much time studying things that don't matter. And there are way too many teachers that display the important contents of their subject in a non-transparent way or create tests that don't test crucial knowledge - which is incredible bad for your education. Think about what knowledge is crucial and how it could be tested and study in that way.
Breaks. Breaks are about as important as your study time itself is. Everyone's a bit different when it comes to intervals of study time and breaks, try and develop a system that works well for you and make sure you don't only schedule study time but also the enjoyable things you wanna do that day. One of the most crucial aspects of breaks is that they actually have to let you reenergize. There are 2 crucial aspects for that. Firstly, you can't put stress on the same parts of the brain that you have been using all that time while studying. This applies to your small breaks during your study time but also to the time when you're finished. You just further exhaust yourself. Reading and watching videos for example usually accesses the exact same area. However, if you have conversations with people, social events or do something immersive that includes bodily activities, it actually allows yourself to recuperate as it accesses different energy. Secondly, the "treats" during your study time shouldnt be too good or you just start doing that instead. The real treats come after you actually finished studying for the day (which is also why you wanna study early in the day, so you have time in the evening to actually have a life).
As mentioned in the video, you shouldn't wait until the very last moment and then try to do everything at once. But pressure can also be used as an effective tool as it will always have a great driving and motivational force. However, the key to using pressure correctly is to develop the ability to calculate the necessary study time beforehand. This way, you will feel the motivating pressure but it will not have a negative influence on your study performance. The reason why pressure is so useful is because it forces you to focus on the crucial aspects of studying and nothing else. If you study without pressure, you will be a lot less effective because you're not target-oriented.
Great writeup!! Thank you! I'm going to save these notes to read through later :)
By chance did you take Barbara Oakley's learning how to learn mooc?
No but I'm a student myself and have been for a while. I'm also quite interested on the topic and read/watched quite a bit about it, in particular Joshua Waitzikin's "The Art of Learning" and Cal Newport's "Deep Work" are pretty ok
How could I treat myself. I will usually be in the library it seems like RUclips video, or getting a book might just cause the same stress what else could I do?
when it comes to your small breaks inbetween studying, get out for some fresh air, have a coffee, a small snack and/or talk with a friend who's around.
I personally study at home and sometimes just practice piano/guitar as this activity as well as social interactions are very immersive and get your mind off studying
As an 11 year old that is graduating I am thankful that I saw this video because our class is really hard and thank you for making this video.
Wow I been looking for this for 15 years . It take me 8 years to get a four year degree . Now Iam back in school for masters for Substance abuse. Therapist. Also become an Master hairstylist counselor for substance-abuse and I’m also in real-estate. ♥️🕉📖 I needed this thank u
Im in 7th grade, and I need to bring up my grade in math, mostly because I love math. It disappoints me that my grades are so low. After watching this video, it inspired me. Thank you :)
Hlo... Dear
I'm here after failing my French exam, I feel so worthless. I have more exams this week and I'm wasting my time on dwelling. I can't get over the fact that all my friends did great but not me. I have a lot of dreams I work hard for them. That is why I'm gonna get over it I will succeeded my other subjects they are more important. I'll come back here later feeling good about myself. Never give up, work hard, don't dwell, you can make it. If you have a dream go and get it failure is the best part of the successful journey. Period!
Same.
I'm in med school and just found I I failed the two last tests.
My motivation is shot.
But I you're right. I cant give up.
I wish I knew this earlier exams tomorrow
But I will definitely use this next semester
My school is a French school so if you fail French you literally won't pass the year plus we learn Arabic and English so it's really complicated but anyway wish you all the best!!!
Marwa Magdi you live in Saudi Arabia ??
Are you an Arab? What country do you live in?
I've heard the same thing if you study for a long time it's inefficient and then you hate to study. I've studied a lot like this. gotta start doing this a bit different. Thank you for tips! :)
My 12minute and 4 second was so fruitful for my entire life. My final exam is running on..Thank God i saw this video.
Joining nursing school in two months and I couldn't be happier to see this video❤Thank you so much
When you realize you’ve been studying incorrectly....
This should be translated and broadcast nationwide in South Korea.
Are u from there ? O I have Heard that you guyz only sleep for 3 hrs .
I loved the full lecture so much that I watched it twice yesterday. It is highly recommended given the fact that we have A LOT to study nowadays.
One of the best things I learned in college and I use it at work now, is to write all the things that your thinking about or worrying on the corner of the page and leave it there. Don't think about those things on the top of the page until your done.
I actually want to thank you soooo much for actually teaching me something instead of all those high subscriber channels which teach u close to nothing or maybe even the wrong concepts. I have learnt sooo much from this video than I probably would ever will for 20 videos combined. Thank you. I'll try to put this in my revision
Use me as the “Who else is watching this when they’re supposed to be studying?” Button.
69th like pog
Ur talking about me
If your textbook has review questions at the end of the chapter it's a really good idea to read these as a part of 'surveying'. That way when you go through the chapter your mind will be looking for the answers to those questions. This is especially powerful at uni if your lecturer writes the content and practice questions for your course as well as the final exam.
Study More or less
Just have the guts to start it
And
Enjoy while doing it
No motivational video will be required after then
Just don't be motivated,
Be driven my friend
My exam has finished..I am a student that always fail in my class every single exam..But after watching to this video,it is unbeliavable..I got 4A,3A-,2B..
I’m so excited for school now!! I always would let my anxiety get the best of me, but it was my fault for failing I did it to myself no one can be held accountable but yourself but in the end it’s who gets up and tries again
This is so crazy. I went back to school pretty late and was nervous because I wasn't always the best at studying. But this time around, i was getting straight A's and i found myself doing a lot of what this video pointed out. Especially since I was taking science classes, understanding the material tip is def 💯
This man described my every day life in one video. Thank you so much for the tips. I'll try my best to get rid of my bad habits and study effectively.
How many of you have exam tomorrow and realize it's hopeless as you watch this, so you let go this time thinking you'll study for next one everyday, attending all the classes but eventually somehow end up in the same situation?
My exact situation right now :")
I will have my final exam in 12-6-18
Jeff Ron yess me now
Procrastination is harmful.
Every one face this I think most of us
I watched this and scored 85% in my exam recently. It gave me such a profound understanding of my learning. I was just scraping through before - now I feel like I’m prepared for my final year.
Congratulations 👊🏽
Have 2 assignments overdue for a week & I have my exam Friday. Watching this video makes me feel guilt on why I didn't start earlier. Why? Because I get frustrated to easily. I want instant pleasure, instant gratification. Even studying for 10 mins takes immense willpower. Even though I know what wrong with me I have trouble correcting myself. But, this video's concept of taking a break & rewarding yourself sounds very appealing. Maybe I'll try it see how it goes. Hopefully studying 2 days before is better then not studying at all. Wish me luck :)
i was click baited... to a great video (slow clap)
❤
Same😊
Powerful I remember my system of study I have put in place after reading a book I think in French it is call something like how to improve your memory. So I have three step study method first step I read diligently my note as soon as I get home. Second step early in the morning first thing I read again the note and try to memorise them step three in evening read again but this time rewrite the what I have memorised but using my own words. And few days later I revisit my notes again and so on.
Black Carrefour spaced repetition? This guy also talks about that in his full lecture
Oh right I need to familiarise myself with it then. Thank you
how do you have the time?
Nala, you actually end up saving time. Let me explain. You don't have to endlessly gruel over your notes until you have them 100% memorized, word for word, every time you go through your notes. Instead, just look over them for 10-30 minutes. Absorb what you can, but don't worry if everything doesn't click right away. Instead of trying to remember the information, try to UNDERSTAND it. I'll give a couple examples.
For a math problem, you shouldn't memorize formulas, you should understand why the formula works and be able to create the formula yourself by thinking about what you're trying to do in the big picture. In physics, you don't have to memorize that (Pressure) x (Volume) = (Temperature) x (Constant). Instead, you should understand why this is true, understand the chemistry and physics behind it all, and through that understanding you should be able to figure it out without memorizing.
If you have a glass box full of air, and the temperature increases, then that means the particles are moving faster. If particles are moving faster, that means they are bumping into each other and the glass walls more often and with more force. If particles are bumping into the walls more often and with more force, then they are basically pushing against the glass walls. If the particles are pushing the glass harder, this means that there is more pressure on the glass. So you just used understanding and logic to figure out that an increase in temperature causes an increase in pressure.
Now imagine that, instead of a glass box, this happens in a balloon. The particles push harder against the inside of the balloon as temperature increases. BUT, the glass box was not able to expand, so it kept the pressure contained. The balloon CAN expand though. So, as you increase temperature, the volume of the balloon also increases. So now you also know that an increase in temperature can cause an increase in volume.
If you UNDERSTAND things, your brain just makes things click. Instead of trying to memorize definitions and equations and patterns, figure out the big picture.
A class like Anatomy requires a lot of memorization, but the same concept can be applied. Instead of memorizing the name of each joint the the body, understand how the naming scheme works. The joint is named after the two bones that it connects together. Instead of memorizing that the knee is called the tibiofemoral joint, just think about it. The joint connects your tibia to your femur.
Or, instead of memorizing that the shoulder and hip are ball-and-socket joints, that the knee is a hinge joint, and that the neck is a pivot joint, just think about what each of those types of joint means. There's no need to remember that the hip is a ball-and-socket joint, because you can figure it out at any time if you look down at your hip joint and see that is allows movement in nearly all directions. Or if you understand that the head of the femur (shaped like a BALL) goes into a cup-like depression in your pelvis.
So, instead of spending all that time trying to memorize all your notes, just read over them here and there at your leisure, try to connect the dots so that you can recognize the big picture. Understand what is going on and why. So if you ever forget something, you can easily figure it out using logic and understanding. Make as many associations as you can. Connect each topic/chapter to one another. Connect what you learned in one class to something completely different you are learning in another class.
Memorizing takes way too much time and effort. Once you begin to learn this way, looking through your notes becomes a breeze. Homework doesn't take as long. You don't have to study for as long. You make associations between different topics and classes, so while you're studying something like chemistry, you can be reminded of something you recently learned in your physics class.
For example, maybe you need PURE alcohol that has absolutely NO water in it for a reaction you are doing in chemistry class. So, to get rid of all the water in the bottle of rubbing alcohol you use a substance that absorbs water called magnesium sulphate. Well this substance comes in big white chunks, and you COULD just toss those chunks into the bottle of alcohol/water and wait some time for the chunks to eventually absorb the water. BUT, you just remembered what you learned in physics class about surface area. So you realize that if you break the chunk up into much smaller pieces, more of the surface of the magnesium sulphate will be exposed to the alcohol/water mixture, and thus the water will be absorbed faster. Then you remember some even more basic physics and realize that shaking or stirring the mixture causes to move around, which means the magnesium sulphate is constantly contacting new molecules of water to absorb, which allows the water to be absorbed even faster. Kind of like how a big chunk of sugar will dissolve in water slower than the same sugar if it had been ground up, and how both will dissolve faster if you are stirring the mixture.
This turned into a huge rant, and it got a bit off topic, but I still think this could help. Good luck!
weirdokiller123126 great for whoever you are. Just continue helping people out
I’m such a fool lol for my whole academic life, I’ve been memorising the textbook. I thought it was good that I could literally recall the pages of the book and felt that I could get the best grades. Now I know this is totally bs because I must understand what I’m learning. Put it into my own words. Thank you for the video. I hope everyone gets what grades they want this summer.
Well said because you will truly know you understand something when you can teach it to someone else.
I'm a homeschool 12 year old child and I cant get the motivation to learn but that was until i watched this video the info this man had given me changed my whole view on studying thank you
Taking that class and putting this background music and these visuals really changes the vibe
Wow, I am listening to this in 2020 and it is so profound!!
My god. Life saving material in the beginning of my Medlife. Thanks a lot sir. May God bless you in abundance
This was so necessary! I've been studying all wrong for a long time now.
I have a D- in math and its something i've just always struggled with my entire life. I forget a lot of things, like everything before this year is hazy and i can't remember anything and the same goes for math. Its a subject where you built onto what you already know but i'm lacking the very basics needed. I need to get my grade to a B to continue onto Geometry next year. I am going to try working towards a better grade in math as well as building time management skills that I can use for my other classes as well.
Im going to update every time my grade goes up and see how it goes. Wish me luck!
How did you do?
"If you intend to find something, you find it."
love this. 💖
people with a strong memory are so lucky, I don't even remember what I did yesterday, my memory storage is as little as my phone storage ugh
hey no you are wrong.Belive me you remember the conversation with your friends..what you should do is just study less time..for example if you can only focus for 20 mins just study for that time and make sure you study with full focus for that time and as days go by try increasing your time..you will fell good if you did something with full focus..try this for the sake of my effort :)..
@@jainamlpatel6084 woah tysm 🤍 I will try this for my next class
@@itsbibs7714 great! Let me know how that goes ! :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're funny
God bless you sir , i used to spend hours studying and get bad grades and feel miserable after words then i just let go , i was sick of it till the point that i was thinking of killing myself everything was ... IS going down hill until i watched this
God bless you sir you have saved my life and my future and for that i am forever thankful❤️
This is actually really good. Thank God I got saved just at the middle of senior year, I was loosing it. Thank you! ♥
Good advice. One tidbit I'll share is called "Control + F" then type whatever you're looking for. Literally saved me hours and hours and hours of skimming through obsolete textbooks. Use everything electronic that you can.
Watching this because I’m about to go into Year 11. Thank you for this video; hopefully, following this, I can get straight A’s now.
oh! I've been "surveying" my whole academic career and didn't even know it. Never thought skimming the chapter before was actually a good thing. I just did it to procrastinate before actually reading it. Now that I think about it...it always seemed to put me in a better mood to actually read the material after. :D
Truely...Giving tests is imp. Untill one realize where all one is going wrong, study is of no use.
1. Read
2. Think n analyse a bit
3. Make short notes alongside
4. Read again
5. Give test
6. Self review n follow up for the mistakes
7. Repeat! :) ;)
I want to hug the person who runs this channel i watched this a year ago few months before my IGCSE session everyone told me “its too late for u to study these topics u will not memorize them” i was depressed i was crushed by everyone pressuring-me down i watched this then i started not to overthink everything all i did was not think bout the things that he never mentioned like for example that voice in my head that said “u will fail” he never talked bout it like i shouldnt have it there in my head in the first place so i was like “i will ignore that voice and every other voice who will put me down” and i did i had only 3 months left to study Biology,Chemistry and physics and i myself didn’t believe in my self but thx to this ...(i would burst into tears if i was telling u this story irl) i achieved things i didnt think i was capable of achieving i got an A in physics A* in Biology and A in chemistry i love this channel it totally changed my life now ik my potential now Ik that no one should affect me no matter what unless if it is positively ofc I truly thank u for making this video ❤️
This is BY FAR the best video on this topic, and as both a teacher and a student, have watched at least 30 of them.
wow you changed my perspective about study i was spending 5 or 6 hours for study from my nap time but not any more no more sufferings
The thing you said that caught me the most is to study then reward yourself this really got me thinking hmm.... is this truly the way the human brain learns. by the way, loved your video thanks for the tips this will be very useful for me going to 10th grade because I have always Aced every class except for math it was always Math that I had problems studying with and I thank you for showing me the way to deal with my problems on studying for math and being able to focus and comprehend and remember what i'm learning and not to do just remember something and forget about it after the test or get things mixed up so i thank you i will try and improve on my skills as a learner. my name is Marc-Gregore Lerebours i'm 16 years old Au revoir!
learning is different from studying. learn rather then just memories stuff
"Sleep well" ironically i'm watching this at 1 30 in the morning
Over here studying this Leafguard Sales Script and I just started intuitively doing this two days ago. Now I know to double down & just SLEEP well. Sleep is the most important part and that’s what I’ve been doing poorly on
he is the best speaker I've ever listened to. EVER!
perfect video to watch before an allnighter so you can promise yourself that you wont do the same mistakes next time and still do them before next exam
Woahhh! I am suprised and i feel proud, that i had already figured out and knew about this tips and facts about studying?!😨😳 But im actually glad now that people can watch the video and understand what they are doing in the wrong way and correct it. Fabulous video! ♥
Nâmî I second that, is pretty cool figuring something out on your own and then seeing later someone teach on it.
