I used this when i was studying science and maths. After every chapter or few pages, try to explain what you read like you're explaining it to someone else. That will force your brain to break it down and analysing it. And consequently remembering it.
In my university, all lectures were recorded and uploaded. One of my lecturers had a big, digital clock at the front desk and started it the same time he started a lecture and said for notes, the most we should do in the lecture is write down the time on the clock of any key points, just so we could all focus on what was being said . Everyone did very well in his class at end of the year, historically he was one of the most overall successful lecturers of the university
I had a brilliant professor at uni who pretty much told us the secret to academic success the very first week, during the first lecture he had ever given to our class. And it's extremely short and simple. 'Learn how to separate the relevant from the redundant.' And that's it. Which is what JP is saying here as well. Read a paragraph, or a page, or a ten pages, or a full chapter - then simply summarize the main points into your notebook and that will be more than enough. If you actually paid attention while reading, those main points or bullet points in your notes will be sufficient to remind you of all the details. The brain holds a lot of info (more than you usually imagine it would), but it's like a car in the winter - sometimes it's hard to get it going. The bullet points in your notes act as a trigger, and once the flow starts, you may be surprised how much info will actually come out of your head.
I’m an electrician and finished at the bottom of my class in high school. One of the requirements to be employed as an electrician is to take a 30 hour OSHA safety training course. One day the guy behind me in the second row was like “don’t you take notes”? I told him confidently “no, I won’t be able to pay attention and take notes at the same time”. I ended passing the exam with an 83. I surprised myself with that grade.
My method has been to read a book and keep a notebook ready and when finding something interesting making a very short note with the page it was, and also writing down what I thought. Only a few words first and later going through the notes look up the specific note and expand on my thoughts. It works for me pretty well.

Interesting and straight to the point 1. Practice recalling (that way you can also test if you really know something) 2. Break it down and connect it to other things you know so it's part of your thoughts.

I think the usefulness of underlining is that if, after you tried to write what you remember, you couldn't do it, the underlined things gonna help you see what are the things the first time you read you thought where important, so it simplifies the work afterwords.
This is pretty spot on, it’s amazing what our brains can do if we truly focus on what we are trying to accomplish. Recalling is basically what your brain does when you are testing or trying to solve a problem. Thanks for the vid

The nice thing about forgetting the content of a book is that you can re-read it later. So, if your memory is REALLY bad, you might only need like 10 books in your life. Pro tip for saving money.
Honestly, the best advice I've ever heard. In addition, it is ridiculously simple! One of those thing that we have under our noses but we are unable to see... Think of it and you'll find out that every time you do it this way, the thing got stuck in your mind, but you are not aware of it.

@@shreya44moshimonster As a result of different learning styles, your brain will do both at different levels. Because you have to think about what you're writing, it forces you to think more since the body is doing more than 1 function related to the topic you're studying. For example, if you are doing fractions, you read it in the book so that's the introduction where you think about what fractions mean to you as the brain processes it. Then, you're given exercises that forces the brain to analyse how fractions relate to your life so you'll start to remember times you divided up things and then later on again if you want to truly remember, you'll think about it and fully remember next time you do something related like cutting cake or other such examples.
This is great. It makes sense with what JP is saying because if you skim through a book, there is barely any retention as your brain has spent very little time meshing the ideas and concepts into itself. The more complex an idea is the more time that is required for its full integration. Understanding/comprehension is longer lasting than retention via memory alone and you also give time for the necessary neuron clusters to make connections. People often read things and take things away at face value rather than discern and examine each piece of information.
I think something that is somewhat glanced over is JP's process of connecting what he learns to other ideas. In my opinion that's the most important step to take in the process of learning new things.
This content is by far the most important jewel I have found on the net today cause this isn’t being taught in school. All I know then is to take down notes while the lecture is on. So word by word is my extreme anxiety😂
Everything you're saying not to do is what helps me remember. I am dyslexic and this helps me remember way more than any of what what you're saying! He got me through 6 years of college. I learned that writing down what you're saying forces me to pay closer attention to what is being said not the opposite! I need to underline I need to highlight not because I was taught to because it really works! Everybody doesn't learn the same way sir.
One of the things I love about your videos are it’s not more than 5-6 minutes. Avoiding unnecessary things and just getting to the point. Keep up the great work man
I've always remembered detail of lectures in which I took notes during the lecture, in far more clearly than I have for lectures in which I just listened. The act of listening and transcribing seems to build stronger memory for me than just listening. Similarly for written material; reading and paraphrasing notes, usually by paragraph, is far more powerful than reading aloe or reading and highlighting.
exactly... what i think makes it easier is involving active senses to the experience. when you just listen, you're passive and might not emphasise as well but when you take notes while listening, not writing everything down but just the essential info you need to remmeber, you pay more attention to what is being said, making you an active listener. similarly, even if a person highlights info, they're reading passively unless they try to paraphrase and summarise what they read.
Whenever I read a book, I not only highlight or underline, but I make notes in the margins. Anytime you write down something it helps you remember. I also do something else that has proven super helpful: I USE THE BLANK PAGES AT THE END OF A BOOK TO NOTE IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING along with the Page number. This gives me my own personal book review and I can refer to the book later and quickly have a synopsis of the book and an easy reference guide. It is true that any time you TEACH you remember best, but I think that if you stop too much, you can lose the overall "flavor" of the book.
Regarding your comment "I think that if you stop too much, you can lose the overall 'flavour' of the book", that's where the art of knowing where to stop comes in. If you're breaking the book down by discrete concepts, then you're getting to understand all of the essential components that make up the overall message that the writer of the book is attempting to convey. So, you might have to read a whole chapter or more to get to understand a complete concept, or it may only be a page or pages, or even a paragraph or paragraphs. However, If you're reading a book of fiction, or a book where a there is continual narrative, used to convey a message, then you WOULD want to read the book through without breaking it down (unless the dialogue or writing style, is not immediately intuitive, e.g. with literature such as Shakespeare).
I disagree that highlighting is rubbish. Very often, there's A LOT of filler content and it helps to highlight the important ideas, especially when you want to go back and review at some point. Highlighting also helps me identify any solid perspectives that stand out to me, and these perspectives often make their way into my journal. As for technical books, highlighting is even more useful. By the time I finished my B.S. in engineering, I had studied so many books. But I only learned how to study very efficiently in my last two years. Highlighting and writing notes in the textbook was a big game changer for me. Today, I often open these books and use the highlighted text and the notes to help guide my thought process and remember. There could be a hundred pages in a chapter, but only a few pages or concepts might be needed to solve a problem. Most likely, you won't remember most of the content, but highlighting makes it easy to look back and quickly review the important stuff. Another important thing is that highlighting helps in keeping you engaged, and you're a lot more attentive when you're engaged.
Highlighting works when the density of the content is not that much and you can be effectively selective in finding the good bits. If the content is dense and/or you aren't decisive in what should catch your attention then what's the point really. I do highlight but only the one or two sentences that summarises the whole last few pages. But that's because I'm lazy. The best case is that I summarise those pages in my own sentence. Then I remember that. Then that's useful.
@@frostyzek7461 Highlighting the words used in the video? Jordan Peterson isn't doing the graphics. Someone else took what he said and made it into their own video.
what helps me with remembering what i read from books is sharing it with those i interact with in my environment and that helps just etch it inside there
1. Lecture Note-Taking: Don't take notes during lectures; instead, focus on actively listening. After the lecture, take notes to practice remembering the content. 2. Reading Strategy: Avoid simply highlighting or underlining text in books. Instead, read a few paragraphs or an essay, close the book, think about it, and write down your thoughts to solidify the information in your memory. 3. Memory Hooks: Create memory hooks by connecting new information to existing knowledge. Formulate questions about the significance of the ideas, relate them to other concepts, and consider potential criticisms. 4. Recall over Recognition: Emphasize recall over recognition. Actively practice remembering complex information rather than relying on passive recognition. Recall strengthens the memory and integrates the knowledge into your understanding. 5. Separation of Reading and Note-Taking: Distinguish between the functions of reading and note-taking. Instead of copying sentences verbatim, close the book and reformulate the content in your own words. This active engagement enhances understanding and retention.
Yes. He seems not open to the diversity of our minds, ways to learn, strategies to avoid distraction (taking note is one of them). His way is certainly very good, but it's not the only one. Human psyche is complex...I guess an expert in psychology should know that....
@@catherinebastien Even though I totally see you guys' points and he is in fact kind of presenting this as ''the ultimate strategy'', I think it's still valuable what he is saying in terms of how your brain stores information. The more associations you can make with a concept, the more you ''solidify'' that concept in your mind. This is a general thinking principle and not just a principle of learning, hence you can adapt your (different) strategies with this knowledge. Peterson is not a truth speaker. But he is a speaker of valuable ideas and I appreciate him for that.
Thats the way I study dr Bergs know how, it's possible because he talk in understanding words, sentences and I can replay his lectures again and again. Thank to this I learned about human body a lot in just 6 month. Now I can help others with that knowledge... amazing!
These ideas, concepts, and practices are even more effective when you are genuinely interested in the subject you’re reading. Also, daily reading helps as well. It gets easier when you practice reading more.
To me taking notes during the explanation of the teacher provides me more details that i would have missed if i wait untill the class is done. So that method works for me.
I disagreed with this until i figured the difference between hearing the lecture and listening to it. Personally, its like taking notes but in ur head, understanding them and saving them for later. Like recording them mentally and such
Learn in more ways than one. Listen Take notes Check your notes and correct them Solve problems that test the concept Teach it Ponder on it Make connections with other ideas There are a ton of ways to learn something and the more ways you understand something, the stronger the connection when you need to recall an idea
I got through nursing school and passed my NCLEX first try by taking notes during every single lecture. I would literally write as they were speaking and I’d speak it as I was writing. Read my notes and passed every exam besides one- the only one I didn’t take notes on.
So you disagree with him and it's better to take notes during the lecture as per you , also I wanted to ask how you were taking them like you was typing important points or keywords , because this is my 1st year in Nursing school , Appreciate your comment .
@@safokitaz3670 thank you for inquiring about my note taking. I don’t disagree with him completely and I respect him so much: but note taking during lecture worked wonders for me. I did a lot better in nursing school than many of my classmates who did not take notes. I used blue ink and would write nearly verbatim what was discussed in lecture. I would also record occasionally. Very seldom did I actually read the books. Find what works for you and stick with it. Congratulations for going to nursing school and I wish you the best- you’ll do great!!!!
Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don’t try to figure anything out. Don’t try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.
Structurize your knowledge. Make category and hierarchy, map each things you learn. Especially when your domain is extremely large and chaotic, like software or other engineering. Without this, your knowledge will not be useful for a long time. This is because details in engineering knowledge changes very rapidly. If you have structurized your knowledge, you can just swap the part that has changed.
This is so help I am grateful for Jordan Peterson recommend this method. I have a hard time understanding things and I will use this for long term learning.
About lectures: Writing while listening works well for me. There is more than one way to do things. It also depends on the topic. Remembering numbers or chemistry formulas is different than remembering bigger general ideas.
Good day: After lissing to this I saw something, that was so natural for him to do, and then I had this moment: I have seen this before. The process in which he spoke to us about remembering. Relates to a new Ai. To me it's like someone, took his way of remembering and created a way to help us recall what we have read, and also help us to question our own thoughts, to come up with a more precise way to collect our thoughts, and with notes. The Ai is Notebook LM. Mr. Peterson, was ahead of time. Our Minds are more powerful, than we give it credit. Notebook LM was a idea then a thought. Thank you Mr. Peterson.
Thanks for sharing this knowledge, as an English student I have been able to check this point, it is absolutely better to pay attention at maximum and after taking notes, in this way our brain is more efficient for remembering and the pieces of stuff are firmly fixed to our mind
Most of my engineering professors seem to use their own info or way of going about a method that isn't necessarily par for par with the textbook, so it's hard to not take notes cause then I'd have to backup. Still figuring out the best way.
The goal of attending a lecture is not to have notes from the lecture. The goal is to understand what is going on during the lecture. Spending time and energy taking notes decreases understanding. Also, if you prepare by understanding the textbook, it will be much easier to remember/reconstruct variations presented in the lecture.
I used this when i was studying science and maths.
After every chapter or few pages, try to explain what you read like you're explaining it to someone else. That will force your brain to break it down and analysing it. And consequently remembering it.

Similarly for written material; reading and paraphrasing notes, usually by paragraph, is far more powerful than reading aloe or reading and highlighting.
exactly... what i think makes it easier is involving active senses to the experience. when you just listen, you're passive and might not emphasise as well but when you take notes while listening, not writing everything down but just the essential info you need to remmeber, you pay more attention to what is being said, making you an active listener.
similarly, even if a person highlights info, they're reading passively unless they try to paraphrase and summarise what they read.

Whenever I read a book, I not only highlight or underline, but I make notes in the margins. Anytime you write down something it helps you remember. I also do something else that has proven super helpful: I USE THE BLANK PAGES AT THE END OF A BOOK TO NOTE IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING along with the Page number. This gives me my own personal book review and I can refer to the book later and quickly have a synopsis of the book and an easy reference guide. It is true that any time you TEACH you remember best, but I think that if you stop too much, you can lose the overall "flavor" of the book.
Regarding your comment "I think that if you stop too much, you can lose the overall 'flavour' of the book", that's where the art of knowing where to stop comes in. If you're breaking the book down by discrete concepts, then you're getting to understand all of the essential components that make up the overall message that the writer of the book is attempting to convey. So, you might have to read a whole chapter or more to get to understand a complete concept, or it may only be a page or pages, or even a paragraph or paragraphs. However, If you're reading a book of fiction, or a book where a there is continual narrative, used to convey a message, then you WOULD want to read the book through without breaking it down (unless the dialogue or writing style, is not immediately intuitive, e.g. with literature such as Shakespeare).
i think this video clip will be of a great value foverer
I disagree that highlighting is rubbish. Very often, there's A LOT of filler content and it helps to highlight the important ideas, especially when you want to go back and review at some point. Highlighting also helps me identify any solid perspectives that stand out to me, and these perspectives often make their way into my journal. As for technical books, highlighting is even more useful. By the time I finished my B.S. in engineering, I had studied so many books. But I only learned how to study very efficiently in my last two years. Highlighting and writing notes in the textbook was a big game changer for me. Today, I often open these books and use the highlighted text and the notes to help guide my thought process and remember. There could be a hundred pages in a chapter, but only a few pages or concepts might be needed to solve a problem. Most likely, you won't remember most of the content, but highlighting makes it easy to look back and quickly review the important stuff. Another important thing is that highlighting helps in keeping you engaged, and you're a lot more attentive when you're engaged.
This is true as he contradicts himself in the video where he actually highlights some words in almost every sentece
Highlighting works when the density of the content is not that much and you can be effectively selective in finding the good bits. If the content is dense and/or you aren't decisive in what should catch your attention then what's the point really. I do highlight but only the one or two sentences that summarises the whole last few pages. But that's because I'm lazy. The best case is that I summarise those pages in my own sentence. Then I remember that. Then that's useful.
@@frostyzek7461 Highlighting the words used in the video? Jordan Peterson isn't doing the graphics. Someone else took what he said and made it into their own video.
Man, the video is about how to remember everything you read. By highlighting you are doing exactly opposite.
You have valid points, I think what he means is “don’t JUST highlight”, that’s “pseudowork”. What you are describing is more than just highlight
GOLD, thank you for this!
what helps me with remembering what i read from books is sharing it with those i interact with in my environment and that helps just etch it inside there
when you share knowledge or happiness, you get more returned

This is what I have done that made people think that i'm going mad. Then, they will began to question memorization skill.
Love this thank you 🙏
2:20 only! One message sufficiently explained. Others would have prated 15' in circles.
That good 👍 👍👍👍👍😊
1. Lecture Note-Taking: Don't take notes during lectures; instead, focus on actively listening. After the lecture, take notes to practice remembering the content.
2. Reading Strategy: Avoid simply highlighting or underlining text in books. Instead, read a few paragraphs or an essay, close the book, think about it, and write down your thoughts to solidify the information in your memory.
3. Memory Hooks: Create memory hooks by connecting new information to existing knowledge. Formulate questions about the significance of the ideas, relate them to other concepts, and consider potential criticisms.
4. Recall over Recognition: Emphasize recall over recognition. Actively practice remembering complex information rather than relying on passive recognition. Recall strengthens the memory and integrates the knowledge into your understanding.
5. Separation of Reading and Note-Taking: Distinguish between the functions of reading and note-taking. Instead of copying sentences verbatim, close the book and reformulate the content in your own words. This active engagement enhances understanding and retention.
Excellent advice thanks for posting 👍
Highlighting is very important method for me to find and review the most important part without reading everything again.
Yes gurl! I like how you know why you highlight! It’s always suggested you can criticise your practices so you can defend them like what you did!🥰
Thankyou brother Very Very Helpful Brother
Everyone has their own way of studying as long as we're true to what we're doing. I can't say I fully agree with him. Do whatever works for you
Yes. He seems not open to the diversity of our minds, ways to learn, strategies to avoid distraction (taking note is one of them). His way is certainly very good, but it's not the only one.
Human psyche is complex...I guess an expert in psychology should know that....
@@catherinebastien Even though I totally see you guys' points and he is in fact kind of presenting this as ''the ultimate strategy'', I think it's still valuable what he is saying in terms of how your brain stores information. The more associations you can make with a concept, the more you ''solidify'' that concept in your mind. This is a general thinking principle and not just a principle of learning, hence you can adapt your (different) strategies with this knowledge. Peterson is not a truth speaker. But he is a speaker of valuable ideas and I appreciate him for that.
@@psychwolf7590mark these words
Thats the way I study dr Bergs know how, it's possible because he talk in understanding words, sentences and I can replay his lectures again and again. Thank to this I learned about human body a lot in just 6 month. Now I can help others with that knowledge... amazing!
A good lecturer gives you the notes to take, technical definitions, pencil and paper techniques.
These ideas, concepts, and practices are even more effective when you are genuinely interested in the subject you’re reading. Also, daily reading helps as well. It gets easier when you practice reading more.
And you can convince yourself to be interested, even when you originally weren't.
Great advice!
To me taking notes during the explanation of the teacher provides me more details that i would have missed if i wait untill the class is done.
So that method works for me.
👍👍👍
I l❤v this! It's simplified, comprehendable and motivational
I disagreed with this until i figured the difference between hearing the lecture and listening to it. Personally, its like taking notes but in ur head, understanding them and saving them for later. Like recording them mentally and such
Listening is so crucial, agree here thanks.
Learn in more ways than one.
Listen
Take notes
Check your notes and correct them
Solve problems that test the concept
Teach it
Ponder on it
Make connections with other ideas
There are a ton of ways to learn something and the more ways you understand something, the stronger the connection when you need to recall an idea

@@sriku1000 my father must be the founder or it
I got through nursing school and passed my NCLEX first try by taking notes during every single lecture. I would literally write as they were speaking and I’d speak it as I was writing. Read my notes and passed every exam besides one- the only one I didn’t take notes on.
So you disagree with him and it's better to take notes during the lecture as per you , also I wanted to ask how you were taking them like you was typing important points or keywords , because this is my 1st year in Nursing school , Appreciate your comment .
@@safokitaz3670 thank you for inquiring about my note taking. I don’t disagree with him completely and I respect him so much: but note taking during lecture worked wonders for me. I did a lot better in nursing school than many of my classmates who did not take notes. I used blue ink and would write nearly verbatim what was discussed in lecture. I would also record occasionally. Very seldom did I actually read the books. Find what works for you and stick with it. Congratulations for going to nursing school and I wish you the best- you’ll do great!!!!
That is a very helpful video. Thank you!
Let go of what has passed.
Let go of what may come.
Let go of what is happening now.
Don’t try to figure anything out.
Don’t try to make anything happen.
Relax, right now, and rest.
This was a really helpful video! Thank you JP for this one!!
This was my study strategy when I was studying at university.🙂
Very fascinating! 😮
Structurize your knowledge.
Make category and hierarchy, map each things you learn.
Especially when your domain is extremely large and chaotic, like software or other engineering.
Without this, your knowledge will not be useful for a long time.
This is because details in engineering knowledge changes very rapidly.
If you have structurized your knowledge, you can just swap the part that has changed.
Do you have any examples of this or resources you could point me towards to improve in these areas you outlined? Thanks John
This is so help I am grateful for Jordan Peterson recommend this method. I have a hard time understanding things and I will use this for long term learning.
About lectures: Writing while listening works well for me. There is more than one way to do things.
It also depends on the topic. Remembering numbers or chemistry formulas is different than remembering bigger general ideas.
So accurate! This is it, thank you!
❤❤❤❤
We have lectures for 8-10 hours everyday 😂😂😂😂
l can relate
Good day: After lissing to this I saw something, that was so natural for him to do, and then I had this moment: I have seen this before. The process in which he spoke to us about remembering. Relates to a new Ai. To me it's like someone, took his way of remembering and created a way to help us recall what we have read, and also help us to question our own thoughts, to come up with a more precise way to collect our thoughts, and with notes. The Ai is Notebook LM. Mr. Peterson, was ahead of time. Our Minds are more powerful, than we give it credit. Notebook LM was a idea then a thought. Thank you Mr. Peterson.
Thanks for sharing this knowledge, as an English student I have been able to check this point, it is absolutely better to pay attention at maximum and after taking notes, in this way our brain is more efficient for remembering and the pieces of stuff are firmly fixed to our mind
Thank u sir
Most of my engineering professors seem to use their own info or way of going about a method that isn't necessarily par for par with the textbook, so it's hard to not take notes cause then I'd have to backup. Still figuring out the best way.
It's problematic with mathematical fields in general I'd say
The goal of attending a lecture is not to have notes from the lecture. The goal is to understand what is going on during the lecture. Spending time and energy taking notes decreases understanding. Also, if you prepare by understanding the textbook, it will be much easier to remember/reconstruct variations presented in the lecture.
This video is so helpful. Thank you!! I'll use this method.
Me who is listening to the video n reading comments😅
