Another great video. Like you, I'm on the adult piano-learning journey. Once the child is asleep, I do a modest minimum 5 mins every day, which of course usually turns into 15 minutes or more. My only experience of BJJ was doing judo when I was younger and there being a guy in a black gi who did BJJ and had me tapping out in 3 seconds during groundwork, no matter what I did! I'd practise differently now, but back then I didn't know how to learn. I like your videos on how to learn because it reminds me that we don't know the best way to learn until we're too old to use that knowledge optimally. (Though it's still very fun to learn as an older person).
Weird; I just learnt the idiots approach to the Rubik's cube to teach my ASD daughter. I spent a week of 30-60 mins a day teaching her and she is seeing more of it than I do and I've been able to finish it for a month longer. Roy Dean just posted a video about his experience at danahers. The interesting takeaway for me is Dean is far more accomplished than I'll ever be, and he realised he was in relative terms a beginner to normal people in danahers class at certain skills. I've just ordered the grant book as I'm working my way through make it stick and I think the real fundamentals of learning new things is it should be challenging. I never really understood that till bjj. I fell in to the reading and reviewing trap, not the trying and failing methodology
That's interesting, I'll take a look at that Dean video. I'm working on a video about Smart Notes, which has kind of clarified a lot of thoughts I already had about learning and trying vs reviewing! Did you do beginner's method for the cube? That's what I learned, and I can't get below about 3:30 - there are people on Reddit saying that it should be manageable to go sub-2 on the same algorithms, if you just turn faster...
I learnt the daisy, one row at a time and the best I've got is between 2 and 3 mins depending on how poor the scramble is 😂. My daughter is just quicker and has done sub 2 but we've figured out how to avoid the daisy and some of the valueless moves. She now needs to learn the real shortcuts but that's harder due to not being able to follow the online tutorials I thought make it stick was really interesting on the evidence supporting trying v reviewing. There's lots of evidence that trying something you haven't even got a clue how to do actually embeds the learning better after you've tried, failed and then been shown how.
@@andrewmc2445 Yes! this is something I talk about in my video on pre-testing - it's also something I in BJJ, by getting people to struggle for a while in the positions I'm going to teach. That way, you're already looking for answers by the time you're watching me demo a move, because you KNOW how difficult it is to hold onto an armbar (or whatever)
@@JoelSnape1 I can get under 30 sec with the beginners method even thought im not used to it anymore. Your skills are much more important than the algorithms, but it still makes sense to learn them sooner rather than later.
Yep, you you definitely need a process for getting feedback so that someone else is pulling you up on your mistakes. I'm working on a way to articulate this for a new video.
Yet another useful video Joel. I’m so glad you mentioned language learning because I found that I made so much progress on a recent holiday, by being prepared to look a wee bit silly. I hope the same mindset will work when I start learning to play piano! (Currently pencilled in for September. Will be hitting you up for advice nearer the time)
@@JoelSnape1 I’m trying to learn Spanish, which is one I didn’t study at school. I’m really just a little better than a beginner, but we inadvertently put ourselves into difficulties in Granada, and I derived great joy from making myself understood, in problem solving mode. I know the next step is getting involved in Italki or other such speaking media, but don’t quite have the time or the courage just yet.

Thank you very much!
The fact there's no affiliate link to buy the book means that you can probably trust this guy.
Hahahah great point (I always forget to put these in, but also they're only worth like 5p a book or something).
Dude, I’m following you for a year or so, and, man, your content is so valuable. I’m sure 1 mil sub will be soon
Appreciate you saying this! I mean, it's probably gonna take a while longer, but if I'm helping people out that's great. Thanks for the encouragement!

Brilliant man! I love it ❤❤❤
Cheers man!

Just started reading this book...but progress is quite slow because I'm reading other books too.lol
@1:13 woundnt that waste time or take longer? Also what if u keep making the same mistake over and over again

Thanks Michael! What language were you on? I've got a project in mind but I need to take the jump. Give me a shout with piano questions any time!
