Join my Learning Drops weekly newsletter here: bit.ly/4e0o53Y Every week, I distil what really works for improving results, memory, depth of understanding, and knowledge application from over a decade of coaching into bite-sized emails.
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

Hands down Justin till date this is truly your best video ever. Insane and honest advice given completely for free people. Keep it up man. Loads of appreciation
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.
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 )
MAN! It would've been MUCH better if you made this video earlier. Many people (including me) have gone through this same process where we watch a lot of videos on learning, self-improvement etc. but get little results. That is probably why many people say that your videos don't have any practical tips, because most people aren't used to engaging in the experiential cycle of learning. Only when I started to squeeze out as much as i can from your videos and working on that for a long time, I saw the results you promised. But many will complain that your videos are useless. Thanks Justin Sung! I appreciate your efforts in the youtube space of learning and will try to enroll on your course as soon as i can afford it!
The funny thing is he sort of did post it earlier...but the content was in his ICS course. His RUclips page is more of a hobby of is, while his ICS course has the in-depth knowledge you need, that you can access at any time.
@@cjikeako Well the obvious thing is that you can't watch the video passively unless the info will enter in one ear and exit through another. You have to engage with it. If he is asking some questions, pause and ponder before he gives his answer. Try to think if what he says feels relevant to you and view it in a critical manner. Also, even before watching the video analyse the title and think about what you already know about it and state your assumptions, see if they get clarified in the video. At the end of the video, you take the practical parts (or hyposthesise possible applications) and use it in your scenario in the best way you can. If you do it and results are satisfactory, great job! But if there are some issues you reflect on that and come back to the video or watch some other vids. It takes a lot of time, but the results are WORTH it! Eventually it becomes a habit.
I agree, but i think it's important to make sure your theory is correct before you start. If you are unsure if your theory is correct it can be worth a little overload before practice
He basically said you need to learn how to figure out the problem and try to find the solution or right method to achieve your goal. Minset,Problem/Hindrances, Resources, Time & organization, Method/ Theory, and Action/consistency. Thank you clearing the pathway Doctor Sung
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.
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. Thank you.
I was facing cognitive overload in the ICanStudy course and tried to convince myself I wasn't going too fast, I may not have been going too fast in terms of time bound but I was spending less time looking at each technique. Thanks Justin for answering the question I have been unable to for the last 2 years.
If only I had seen this video during my college years. This is the learning secret I've been looking for my entire life. Now I know why I thought I've learned so much but no new usable skills stick in my brain
Absolutely agree with the emphasis on balancing theory and practice! This approach ensures that learning is not just about accumulation but also about application, making it more sustainable and impactful in skill development. 🎯
I love yuh so much, Justin sung. You've changed my perspective about learning completely. I used to think active recall and spaced repetition are my lord and savior but i was wrong. It never serve me in the long run, it will only work for things that aren't bounded by time or things that doesn't require relational priotize learning.
Well they are One of the most OP techniques if used properly. Encoding is also very important.(I believe more important) . Use Mindmap, High order thinking, retesting for encoding. And then strengthen knowledge by Spaced Repetition and Active recall. And also practice test taking skills and Speed during exam . This is more than enough to get good marks .
@@sussyanimesenseiYeah, I'm not throwing away the baby with bath water. Active recall repetition still have their place, but if it's the only thing you are relying on. Then definitely we are wrong
@@thomasv2318 I don't disagree with the science, because active recall and spaced repetition have been scientifically proven. But the problem is, if that's your only technique, you would want to consider other things because of the fact that we have limited time
I came to a very similar conclusion to this I think what you need to learn properly is a mix of experimentation and thinking with both process is feeding into each other the only thing I was missing out on was the neuroscience because I don't look into that much Neuroscience stuff.
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
Wow, thank you. This is so true. I have learned this the hard way, but it works so great. Slow but steady and monitoring your own ability to not go too fast or too slow. I am homeshooling and training my 9 year old boy this. Nice to have someone say the same thing.
I use a analytical tool called the Ten-point Format for learning anything really fast. It has story line structure matching cognitive thoughts of some one.
Very helpful video, as intuitively people assume that if you're progressing slowly then you're struggling. They often aren't able to look at things in terms of exponential gains.
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.
Fascinating. I’ve recently returned to college in my middle age. Now I understand why I can only do so much schoolwork each day before I shut down and have to walk away.
Hey man, i would add a slow walk outside if you can. If you feel that nothing is going into your mind, that is the point where a short walk and some water is perfect for a break. Do somthing that allows your mind to disconnect
Learn a New Skill 1. Experience the new skill (Attempt) > Observe Result > Think About What we need to change to improve > Experiment > Repeat 2. Fastest way to learn a skill sis to Learn slowly 3. Theory Overload - 3.1. Only experiment with 1-2 new techniques/concepts at a time (Doing more will take more mental resource). 3.2. Balance theory and practical application (optimal skill growth rate) 3.3. General Rule of Thumb - Every 1 Hour of Theory = 5 Hours of Practice (but take into account your own limits) 4. Get good at these so they’re habits. This will < reduce mental resource 5. Then build on your skill/pick up new skill after getting efficient at it by repeating step 1
I am a piano player. When I studied a polyphonic piece with five voices I understood I had to study not more than two, or at least three voices at a time. It looks I didn't think so wrong. 😊
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'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.
I actually needed this information, because I learn without practice, and this is so boring and complicated. But now, after watching this very helpful video, I can start more practicing and find balance between theory and practice. Thanks you very much for your free lessons on RUclips which is very helpful!
very true in music practice. It's easy to overload on a theory and not put in the practice to put the theory in practice people often practice far too fast and don't spend the time to get the proper muscle memory in place to play accurately. Also playing slow leads to playing very fast better.
The term "Positive Feedback Loop" comes to mind. "Multiple Element Interactivity" sounds like a 'Cousin' to Multitasking (which I personally believe is counterproductive).
Justin sung is the only man who’s extremely driven in his attempt to make people understand and progress, he’s like a blind man who saw light and wants to spread it. I’m a international doctor in USA and my partner belongs to intertel, the highest Iq society, I was nervous to meet such gifted people and the advice every single one of them said is to learn fast , read slow, LISTEN TO JUSTIN , THIS GUY IS FUCKING PLATINUM CLASS
pleassee guys, like, comment AND share his video!!!! even though, sometimes we want to gatekeep him to have an competetive advantage, he should get all the love, support and attention he deserves for all of his hard work 🎉🎉
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.
Really helpful Thanks ✨ I have a habit of slow learning from start, i used to think i am lazy. And i should work little harder, but in real what I've learned became like normal to me. Just giving example on a course of 5 weeks i have already spent more than 2 months and only covered 40%. 😅 I will try to keep following it
Forget about your genes and how talented you think you are. Just focus on practicing better. Practice better, and your skills will improve. If you don't practice better, your skills won't improve. It's as straightforward as that.
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.
1 hour of theory 4 hours of practice but that's just a rule of thumb, the sooner the habit is formed the faster we acquire the skill. don't let yourself be overloaded with theory, practice is more important. cmiiw

So doing 2 physics problems for 4 hours and still getting it wrong means i need to look into other sources longer to get a better understanding? Did i get that right?
Hello, I'm new to your channel and I just came across your page yesterday. I am a woman with dyslexia, and I have been having a hard time studying. I am studying for the security plus exam.
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.
Know what to change Learn slowly(theory overload) Balance between oldhabit+new skill One hour theory=5 hour theory When you can feel thing becoming easier and faster without compromising your accuracy and consistency
SO this means we have to keep a balance between what we are learning with our practice for optimal growth not just putting lots of things in brain randomly or unnecesarily ..
one extremely important aspect is time. so i suggest getting rid of (or not getting) the following 3 things to save a lot of time: 1. girlfriend/wife 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.
What I understand least after watch several videos is the concept of grouping. Based on what? How many? What are the criteria? stumped. I might just be dumb, Justin.
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
Your brain doesn't comprehend words like no don't won't etc don't use them when speaking to yourself. Yes I notice the hypocrisy in the fact I just used them but I failed to find a way to not use them. Example Don't fall asleep Will be comprehended as Fall asleep

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.
I actually needed this information, because I learn without practice, and this is so boring and complicated. But now, after watching this very helpful video, I can start more practicing and find balance between theory and practice. Thanks you very much for your free lessons on RUclips which is very helpful!
Great to hear!
very true in music practice. It's easy to overload on a theory and not put in the practice to put the theory in practice people often practice far too fast and don't spend the time to get the proper muscle memory in place to play accurately. Also playing slow leads to playing very fast better.
The term "Positive Feedback Loop" comes to mind. "Multiple Element Interactivity" sounds like a 'Cousin' to Multitasking (which I personally
believe is counterproductive).
just fancy new jargon
The way you are using different things to describe the content is quite engaging 😊
Glad to hear it is helpful, will try to incorporate more of such demonstrations in the future.
This is absolutely so valuable
How to learn anything 🤔
Thanks a ton, All my life i used to watch YT Vidoes at 3x, learning a lot, but not doing anything.
Thanks a ton for helping me out here
Justin sung is the only man who’s extremely driven in his attempt to make people understand and progress, he’s like a blind man who saw light and wants to spread it.
I’m a international doctor in USA and my partner belongs to intertel, the highest Iq society, I was nervous to meet such gifted people and the advice every single one of them said is to learn fast , read slow,
LISTEN TO JUSTIN , THIS GUY IS FUCKING PLATINUM CLASS
Learning to shoot a bow for example, also requires one to body awareness and proper body mechanics. Visualization plays a big role
pleassee guys, like, comment AND share his video!!!! even though, sometimes we want to gatekeep him to have an competetive advantage, he should get all the love, support and attention he deserves for all of his hard work 🎉🎉
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.
Really helpful Thanks ✨
I have a habit of slow learning from start, i used to think i am lazy. And i should work little harder, but in real what I've learned became like normal to me.
Just giving example on a course of 5 weeks i have already spent more than 2 months and only covered 40%. 😅
I will try to keep following it
thank you for this insight, will apply this to cooking by mastering cooking methods 1 method at a time.
Forget about your genes and how talented you think you are. Just focus on practicing better. Practice better, and your skills will improve. If you don't practice better, your skills won't improve. It's as straightforward as that.
what if you reached a plateau where you feel like you can't improve?
Thank you your video helped me a lot to understand more
Now a days i am unable to study and my habit of concentration is also being low.
VERY SMOOTH???!! DAMN YOU DR SUNG. The smoothness of our brains is directly proportional to the rate of your bank balance increase.
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.
This is extremely valuable. And it makes so much sense. I'm going to put it into practice from now on, and see if the magic happens 💪🔥
1 hour of theory 4 hours of practice but that's just a rule of thumb, the sooner the habit is formed the faster we acquire the skill. don't let yourself be overloaded with theory, practice is more important. cmiiw
Key Points:-
1) The fastest way to learn any skill is to learn more slowly
bro your videos are live changing and exited to learn from you
Beautiful explanation Justin Bro ❤👌🙏
In the simpler words, do the new theory until it becomes second nature to you and then you can learn new theories.
Wondering what the iCanStudy program looks like once you join?

One of the most efficient videos ever produced by Justin...this is going to be a lot helpful for me! Thanks!
So doing 2 physics problems for 4 hours and still getting it wrong means i need to look into other sources longer to get a better understanding? Did i get that right?
Yo this is actually really smart
i think this was one of my weaknesses and the more you try to force yourself to fix it the worse it gets
Learn a skill . For this transitioning into tech I teach data analysis on my page
Hello, I'm new to your channel and I just came across your page yesterday. I am a woman with dyslexia, and I have been having a hard time studying. I am studying for the security plus exam.
Really excellent video. I’m going through this right now. Excellent advice!
Yes, please more of those kinds of videos :) Can you also do more Mindmap videos? They are the best! :D
extremely helpful thank you so much
Very good advice, I'll be applying these tips as well learn German! 👌
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.
Your hair routine, your facial routine and glasses brand; it's what we all want, I have been watching this video only thinking that.
Lol what?
Know what to change
Learn slowly(theory overload)
Balance between oldhabit+new skill
One hour theory=5 hour theory
When you can feel thing becoming easier and faster without compromising your accuracy and consistency
Justin, thanks for the awesome video!
Could you talk more about the Experiential Cycle in a future video please?
Absolutely!
Learning "how to learn new skills" is also a slow process
Slowly is the fastest way to get where you want to be!
Experience 4:14 theory overload 13:00 To learn, do:
SO this means we have to keep a balance between what we are learning with our practice for optimal growth not just putting lots of things in brain randomly or unnecesarily ..
Thank you ❤and love from Assam
2:05 he perfectly summarized the evolution theory.
one extremely important aspect is time. so i suggest getting rid of (or not getting) the following 3 things to save a lot of time:
1. girlfriend/wife
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.
You're kidding.
. . . Right?
I'm hoping this is satire
@@Assassin_Bear I wish it was my friend.
Like it, and very close to what I have found through a lot of trial and error on myself. But I think you are missing something that I discovered 😁
Practice makes permanent
What I understand least after watch several videos is the concept of grouping. Based on what? How many? What are the criteria? stumped. I might just be dumb, Justin.
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.
Thanks For the video That You made With effort It was worth the Wait ❤ appreciate it.
Love it - thanks for sharing. I'm going to watch more of your vids!
Awesome!!
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
Your brain doesn't comprehend words like no don't won't etc don't use them when speaking to yourself.
Yes I notice the hypocrisy in the fact I just used them but I failed to find a way to not use them.
Example
Don't fall asleep
Will be comprehended as
Fall asleep
thanks for providing that as free
than you ! :)
Justin saab is him 👑
Best video on youtube 😮✨
Wow, such an awesome explanation on skill developement.
Glad you liked it
Suresh crammed your program rather than studying for his academic exams.
Thank you Brother.❤
Thanks Justin!❤
Really great video!
0:50 I thought he was about to dry fire the bow and I was going to have a heart attack.
prctice makes progress
You are the best 🎉
