    All my life I used to chase for tips and tricks and hacks to find shortcuts for studying. How to cover the most in the shortest time. But in reality I realised that studying is inherently a slow and time consuming process. The results are never evident in the short term but over a course of months you really start to notice improvements. The trick really is to believe in yourself and never give up on what you started initially.

      How . I complete a High school level History Geography Biology chapters in 2-3 hours . Along with 4 hour revision in that month . And Then just spaced Repetition every 10 days . Then revising 3-4 weeks before exam and doing practice tests.
      And that can easily get you like 97-8+ .
      Especially if test is at end of year . (Because by then you would have full mastery even with so less time ) .
      But I don't know about other people , I have naturally high IQ and memory so I also remember things randomly. But using these smart techniques have helped me consistently get that results with more security.

      The key is, when you introduce to something, just see the big picture to take the concepts. It is the same thing, you study the enough information to fort understand the most basic concepts of the chapter and then put in practice. Also you have to be smart how are you going to study vs the type of practice you put effort. Is not the same see this concepts and put them inmediatly flashcard VS use the enough cognitive load to understand something and the practice it with for example case scenarios, etc

      You need to understand how your brain learns. It takes time and patience. I don’t believe that anybody can can learn fast. I thought that I was lazy but that was just my brain asking for a break so it can solidify all the news. Don’t overwhelm yourself, just give time and you’ll learn anything.

    The idea to slow down learning reminds me on the time I learned how to write. If I tried to write fast too quickly. I could beat others, but my handwriting was bad and the more time passed it deteriorates so much, I hardly can read it anymore.

    Also, once a habit, a new skill and the theory and practice/experience behind it will essentially increase your mental capacity and effectiveness to process both acquiring news skills, understanding new knowledge and excel at almost everything and anything, because they will be a Foundation that you already have.
    Basically, imagine yourself 10 years ago, or maybe 2-3 if you are younger, and think about how good was speaking, reading, understanding words, vocabulary... and how is it now?
    And how all of that affects and influence your life, your interactions, your communication and expressions, your ability to learn and understand things around you and in/of the World and the Universe.
    Amazing video.
    Thank you.
    May health and love be at your side.

Thanks Justin for answering the question I have been unable to for the last 2 years.

    This is not a new idea, everyone knows this or heard of it in one form or another.
    But what I love about your take is that it explains why, even with our best intentions and efforts, we often do not get the results we were hoping for.
    This has alleviated a lot of my frustrations for not being able to use many of the techniques I have come across over the years with any lasting effects.

    Wow, this explains so much and confirms things I couldn't articulate in my own experience. I've been on a quest for peak performance and a large part of that has been how to optimize my learning. I do feel like that is happening pretty slowly, but it feels like the things that have sunk in have taken root. And there are even habits I changed for tangential reasons that are having a positive effect. For example, unrelated to all this, I realized I spent way too much time watching RUclips videos. Almost everything I watch is informative and useful, but now I understand that I was filling my brain with theory and wondering why I didn't have energy (or time, for that matter) to do the things I wanted to do. Since I have been way more deliberate, my capacity has improved. I think there's more than just Theory Overload at play, but I certainly see how it factors in. Thanks for explaining this concept so clearly... *closes RUclips* 😅

    I think , based on my gut instinct and from watching and implementing stuff from yours and other RUclipsrs
    This is where compressed targeted free recall repetition and sub conscious training comes to managing learning
    Before practice telling and noting down what you want to do and reps to clear say 10 questions and how 20 answers can come and the rep it out in that manner in a compress time
    The slightly stress to keep on your toes and the short time so that your brain don’t shift focus too much
    Get into flow get into slight discomfort get into chunking map mind get into reps get into rest and let your brain figure out
    It’s the same as most if not all martial arts and skill sets we see

    i'm using a slight variation of this. Most of the time because of internet, we end up having a lot more skills to apply than we needed. So i developpe a new mindset, so instead of looking all the skills i could learn, i split it in to 2 part. The first is the skil i want actually to learn, and the others are the part is just a "memory road" of the place of the ressource, where i could go to learn this new skill than i can't process for now.

  • @izzymosley1970
    @izzymosley1970 4 месяца назад +1

    I've been thinking about learning for a while now watching a lot of videos like this one and I have come to similar conclusions. From how I see it to learn properly you need a mix of thinking and experimentation and you absolutely need to have both if you think too much without sufficient experimentation your predictions will be less accurate and if you experiment without thinking you will barely be able to learn anything at all. So I came up with a very similar concept the only thing I was missing out on was the brain science because that's not something I look into all that much.

    and interestingly, this also applies to the case when we try to change too much in our life too quickly, our brain isn't able to handle and absorb it at such a fast rate, it doesn't have that much capacity. so, make one or two habits first, or at least priortise one or two as you start and then move from there. note to self, lol. also, when one or two habits solidify, the synergy it forms with the new ones is just beautiful to look at.

    Their is great theory that i heard from hubarman "when you learn new thing you need rest for your mind to process the information. When you get new information one information you need to take rest for 10second to 30 second this will make us process the information faster and faster" i have try it and it worked really will. When you take rest make it really rest to even try to go to sleep with your rest by being very relaxed.

    summary according to my understanding:
    1-learn too much at same time ---> multiple element integrative ---> theory overload
    2-best way to learn:--->learn more slowly--> balance the theory and practice
    3-balance theory and practice--> optimum skill growth
    -so the main point ( be patient )

    This video makes a lot of sense. I love how the truth of it is portrayed (I found I've used the information from this video to some degree without actually knowing what it was, I'm excited to use it to a much greater degree now!)
    But quick question, is it possible to use this method to learn multiple skills in parallel? For example in my own case I LOVE learning miscellaneous skills and recently am trying to pick up art and guitar, is it possible to use the technique to learn those in parallel as WELL as with studying? Or is it better to space things and focus on fewer things at once to avoid overload?

    I want to, for example, learn theory on Monday (2h) then the rest of the week I do maybe 1.5 hours of practice.
    Weekends will be review of theory and practice ?
    Then following week, new theory ?
    -> To apply for each skill I want to learn throughout the week (3 skill, one week but slowly and effectively as you taught us)

    Do not cherry pick data. You need dozens of randomised students in two groups. One “suffering” theory overload and the other learning more slowly with both spending equal times learning the material and under similar conditions. Then check to see if there are any statistical significant differences.

    notes-
    while learning a new skill dont overload your brain
    don't think of too many things at once as you will get overloaded
    if you learn the skill well enough and it becomes a habit you will get used to doing it hence lowering cognitive load
    balance theory with practice so that u use your habits plus the new techniques you will learn as you practice
    increase the habits so most of the learning doesn't end up taking much cognitive load
    form new habits to let it not take more place in your brain keep making habits in order to reduce cognitive load

    2. children
    3. friends
    nr 3 has a caveat though, because you need contacts sometimes, but be very smart about it, you can actually systemize your social interactions to make them as efficient and proficient ass possible. ask yourself "what am i getting out of this social interaction?" because chances are you are getting absolutely nothing. so you shouldnt do any mindless socializing, ever.

    Your brain is not limited, nor is your capacity. It’s bullocks. The number one skill to learn fastest is not to avoid overload.
    The number one skill to learn is to FEEL emotionally committed to what you are learning.
    The second most important skill is to realise you and your brain are actually limitless and everything you learn and experience is actually processed based on how relevant it feels to you. Increase the relevancy (for example by visualising how you use this knowledge or skill in future to achieve what you want to achieve).
    Overload? No, you just feel emotionally disconnected to what you are learning.
