Good morning sir I have been cramming for a while , I thought I was reading, I want to learn , read and understand I don't know how to start can you help me?
i paused video after seeing the sentence, i am going through hardship to learn new language. i was frustrated enough and i am going to quiet . but the sentence make my day.
@@mahmudulhoqueenoy I wish you success in your journey. Your comment also make my day. You could have read it without writing this comment, but you decided to write this wonderful comment that put a smile on my face. Very grateful :)
"Your job as a learner isn't just to take information and document it for later, your job as a learner is to take in information so that your brain can process it"- Sung, Justin
i think when i just listen , i am less attentive compare to when i listen and write , writing later or mind mapping might be helpful but it will require a 2nd sitting to note it , which i am probably not gonna do
Less views on educational video doesnt mean its bad... it is just so great that most people dont understand what they are trying to say and avoid thinking about stuff... i think if you watch this video i know you are few of them who are genuinely trying to improve... Keep going kings. 💪and never judge quality of a video by their views.. no 1 lesson if your trying to find new ways to improve
The fact that you are telling me to just trust my brain and THEN write notes is actually so validating and feels amazing. I never liked just copying notes word for word but it was always the method that seemed to be pushed the most on me in school.
I definitely needed to hear this!!! It's so basic but true, I used to do this when I was younger. Recently I've felt like everyone around me is smarter than me. In reality I just have to go step by step and not feel immediately overwhelmed. Best wishes ✌️
I wish us all the best of luck. Hearing someone say that our brain is actually capable of giving more than just distraction is a breath of fresh air tbh XD
Justin i seriously cant thank you enough for the transformations you have brought in my study routiness and the clarity istg i am so grateful to you!!!
@@cyberduck7377 well i think its going good. These days i get rlly uncomfortable if i dont do the organizing part i.e keep on reading without mindmapping . Although i think there are many improvements to be made i hope it ll get better eventually.

1. Trust your brain by making the cognitive switch from **juggle mode** of holding information to **synthesizing mode** of grouping together information. 2. Take less notes, leaving you more time to group information and forcing you to think through the ideas more deeply. *Trust your brain* Your job is to take in information so that your brain can *process* it. It's not to hold as much information as possible. So when you write notes immediately after listening, you leave minimal time for your brain to synthesize and reason through the information, which is where the learning takes place. You must rather **delay** your note taking. You will run into a difficulty, though. As you delay more and more, you juggle more and more information in your head, and writing these becomes more and more effortful with little gain in learning. But at a certain level of delay, you hold so much information that you give up on *juggle mode* and cognitively switch to *synthesizing mode*. You group together information into groups of concepts. By connecting information together, your brain is organizing it in a way that makes sense. The information becomes encoded so it's easier to recall. As you make the switch, the effort of note-taking goes down, but the amount of learning shoots up. *Take less notes* Wordier notes cause less retention. Yet we stick to it because of the **illusion of learning**. Sparser notes: - Leave more time for you to listen and reflect on the ideas. - Force you to think through ideas more deeply in the need to be succinct. We want to transition to mindmaps to represent the connections between the ideas rather than have to write them down. To transition from linear sentence or bullet-point notes to mindmaps, practice in your free time condensing the linear notes you've taken. 1. Version 1: Convert the wordy notes into a sparser version without losing the essence. 2. Version 2: Convert Version 1 to represent the connections between ideas visually. And then go from there into full mindmaps.
How does the cognitive switch differ for different IQ levels? There should be a Nobel prize for teaching a better way to study. Justin would surely win. 🏆🙏
justin i have been mind mapping now and i am still learning it i feel good cause, I am not all the other students in my class making a small book of notes to read after and feel very good with this. I just want to THANK YOU FOR THIS. and keep posting content like this many people like me enjoy watching you. :)
Justin confused me by saying juggling information hinders learning, but also recommending delaying note-taking. If we delay, we still need to hold the information, which leads to the same juggling.
@@shivamanand6313 watch the video again. He explains that you need to group and relate pieces of information together so that your brain thinks its only 1 thing and not 5 bits of isolated information. Its all about organizing the pieces of information to chunks that make sense for your brain
You uploaded this at the PERFECT time! I was about to go back and rewatch one of your older mind mapping videos but I’ve been struggling. Thank you so much!
I felt so defensive watching this. Never knew just how insecure I was about…. How to learn. It’s amazing the things we do in fear of being stupid. Which actually causes us to, learn less. What a vicious cycle. Oof. I do feel a sense of reassurance from this video. Thank you for this information.
Thankyou doctor Justin For real since I met you I've had a very good paradigm shift and your free content is so appealing.i don't know how to appreciate you more but God bless you ❤
That makes all the sense. All you do when is writing every word down without processing it is just a tentative of copying what is being said/written. You don't give your brain enough time to connect the words, to find a meaning between them, to think of analogies, etc
Yeah. This way of "documenting" was crucial when there was no other sources of information except a speaker. But... noting paragraphs from textbooks word by word... Cursed stuff
@@avimir8805 Yes, and back then we hadn't even thought about it (this way of taking notes). But even with a speaker only, we can give our brain enough time to process (5:55 'delayed note-taking') by taking less notes 13:45, because as justin said: "learning happens in our brains" 5:45.
This is one of your best videos, not only because of the content but also because this is one of your videos that will help most people. When I first started medical school, I was concerned that I wouldn't have time for anything more than study and I still wouldn't be able to learn everything I needed to be a good doctor and get good grades, that's why It led me to my first objective, relearn how to learn, but effective. This video summarizes why and how to do that. When you understand the benefits of summarizing and organizing, you see why It's so effective, It's like you start condensing a lot of information in specific words or sentences and It stays in your mind, because you effectively learned it. Thank you, Justin, I wish and hope one day I'll have the opportunity to improve even more with your and your team's guidance. Have a nice time you all!
I saw your video just right now and I love for the first sigth,just because I’ve been thinking about programming my brain again and again.First of all my mother tongue is portugueses and I spend the last eleven month studying inglish in order to get fluency just by my own and I love it.❤ I real trust of my brain,I do my part and I rest expecting that he going to do his part too.
This video is so interesting. I realized I have been doing this exact thing my entire life. I seldom take notes but I recall most of what has been said in a lecture because I trust my brain to capture and absorb everything. When I learn new things I try to think of alternative things that can make it simpler. I hated writing long notes that's why I write very very short notes but more concise.
Dear Justin, I would like to ask, if you could make a video talking specifically about the pros and cons of the spiral learning model, and spiral processing in education?! Your videos are without a doubt highly appreciated! Thanks you for your time in advance!
. Hello, Justin, It takes one to understand to explain it, thank you! This is your purpose in life, creating a better world, this way, I think. A learning Doctor in how to learn.

I find during meetings the only way I can keep track of all the ideas and information is juggling; so much of the information I get during an hour or two hour meetinf is not related or based on incorrect assumptions. It's hard to find and track the ideas that will be fruitful without just writing everything down and googling later
Imo I liked the thumbnail that said "Step One: Trust your brain" better than "You're smarter than you think." The latter still sounds good to hear but I feel like I hear it being said enough to lose its meaning. The former seems to be actually good advice that someone could follow from the thumbnail alone. Plus, as someone who was skeptical but interested in "trusting your brain," it made me want to watch the video to learn more. Of course, that's all from my perspective.
your videos have helped me so much even though I'm just in highschool(10th grade), I started watching you at the end of my 9th grade and my score increased massively in few subjects that did not involve practice I molded my mind to love mindmaps and I mainly made them in class and trust me they were bad ,I was basically not reading anything on the mindmap but making connections like the practise I got from it for doing it for 4 months and you videos that answer every single one of my questions massively increased my scores in biology history and geography, I did not make mind maps in in bioo and geo and it fell overwhelming when I mindfully made a mindmap for geo and I just gave up but it is my only subject in which I scored 72/80 and the test was given last week thank you so much you've helped me so much
This is why I hated university. There was never any time to process information, it was just fired at you and you better get it all down because after one lecture you are immediately on to the next lecture. Good luck trying to remember an entire day's worth of lectures at 6pm in a noisy library.
The information you provide is priceless. Your delivery is also strong, clear, digestible and information is backed up with both information and examples really thank you. However your pace is terrible i felt like somebody is choking me. i am not sure if you wanted to hit some minute mark but this video can easily be summed up to be a 10 minute or less. I am watching in 2x by the way. Thank you for the content that is regardless your pacing the most important one!
you're top 1 for mindmaps on youtube, I'm doing an accounting course, I wanted a mindmap for my lessons and accounting concepts, the video is really messy. I didn't understand a thing! More simple and complete, we know how to do? abused, a LOT OF BLABLABLA!
The main reason I have trouble taking notes isn’t because I don’t trust my brain or that I just don’t know how, but that usually the professors are moving onto another topic while I’m trying to process and rewrite the information that I was just given into a way that I a.) understand the concept and b.) will understand what I meant in my notes later on I default to only taking notes on things that feel important or seem like part of the big idea
I'm about to lose my mind over my Chemistry studies and Justin is just-in time. I watched one of your older videos yesterday on how to read more quickly and effectively with the Sub-Vocalisation, Grouping and Pausing, and I tried it out and I was skimming through entire paragraphs like it was a breeze of air and actually remembering dates and the names of Russian chemists and a bunch of content that would just normally overload my brain and make me thirsty from thinking. I'm also doing psychology studies and they are a lot harder to remember facts with flashcards, because lots of the psychology content, especially social-experiments are interconnected. So I'm hoping this video will help me with turning my currently 84 (☠) need-to-learn flashcards on experiments into mind maps that I can visualise and simplify.
He's got a video on learning Chemistry specifically, it's more of a live session/presentation that will maybe be helpful. Can probably find it easy if you search for it. There's also a 1-2 hours livestream of him learning Psychology (don't remember what level) on the ICanStudy channel.
In my opinion word drop type1 is for more remembering stuff And type 2 is for stuff like organic chemistry that has a lot of connects inbetween them. These connections may confuse you in examination if you are not clear about them
You go from higher order to lower order You have these groups so that the isolated information fit in more easily and then you interleave your practice containing different levels of learning to check for any gaps and details that are too isolated are chucked into flashcards Your comment is wrong, you need to watch justin's other videos
I cabt wait for step 5😢😢😢😢 Mindmap is a thing for ne now, thanks to you. But i still belive there is a missing gap.. working everyday to raise enough money to finally buy your course.
@@suhareb9252 LOL, the like helps the YT channel, but I use it as a marker that I have listened to/watched the video. I am not obliged to use the like button on only what I truly value.
So I accidentally started doing this with my linear note taking in an effort to get more out of reading/studying starting to understand their might be a slight difference between the two 😅. With delayed note taking, and mind mapping I'll be an awesome ATC in no time.
10:45 Hmmm very interesting analogy. And I can put more clothes in my wardrobe (brain) if I fold them, instead of packing everything together I just cleaned and put it all at once.... It won't fit and I would need to take it out and start all over again. Even if something does fit, I wouldn't know where to find what I wantt. I must have a place only for socks and other only for jackets.... the informations must have sense and your organize it just like your wardrobe. Maybe you think it makes sense to put jackets and jeans closer to each other because they have the same color, or whatever. You find connections the same way.
i use a speech to text tool called otter whenever I'm watching an educational video or an in person lecture and transfer the text file that's been translated into obsidian/ storage so that i can review it later. however it does seem like a crutch, when i could just use my brain and summarize it.
But to have all the good content of the original notes and a teachers wonderful work of assembling it and not loosing any information. Say from excellent RUclips videographers how do we capture all their content as to create a library for those who come after us??? How do you document your study and take in new and contradictory info??!
I feel some of us do this naturally just cause we're too lazy to take too many notes 😂😂😂 Jokes aside, this is a very insightful and useful video! I've fallen into the learning trap myself a few times and I still have a lot to learn on how to be more efficient
I'm terrible at writing notes. I'll listen without hearing. Then information i may regurgitate comes out from somewhere. I have no idea how it got there and it's usually un-organized , it doesn't make sense. I don't know what my brain is doing or how i learn . I can't keep up with my thoughts! What is that? It's like i have some combination lock on the access to my mind, but but know the combination. I really believe once i find that combo ,i can learn anything to the point i can be dangerous, super smart. Something/somewhere has that key
Actually, it's simple I used to face a similar issue For my case, it turned out that my basics were unmet which caused this Sleep(My sleep used to shift significantly everyday and I did not have the sun shine come through which HEAVILY impacted my memory and focus) Meditation(Taught me how to control my brain's focus) YT/Social media Binging(I used to always get sucked into youtube and noticed that the algorithm really messes up my brain so I block ALL of them now and instead search what I want to see) Exercise(Exercising has been shown in various studies to increase neurogenesis, your ability to learn new things and learn from your mistakes) Diet(I basically fast everyday and this helps me maintain focus since the food I eat has a low GI(glycemic index), this also impacts focus, see cajun koi's video on this) It's really these, invest into them heavily and you'll be amazed at how good you'll become
Thank you. I don’t know anyone else who would’ve even bothered thinking of tackling such a topic or even realizing that this was an issue. This is the kind of thing I really would’ve needed about 15 years ago. It kind of makes me cry because I wonder what I could’ve done it if RUclips was the way it is Today when I was younger. What I could’ve accomplished. Oh well, at least I get to take advantage now and see where I can go. Thank you.
In my defense, I had already decided that when I go back to school, I would stop taking notes. Cause there was a time when I was a top student that I would not take any notes at all. So either I would not take notes or I would write what I remember down after the class is over. So this video actually is very similar to what I had decided to do. It’s better to make sure you understand everything without competing with the teacher as you write notes, competing to catch up with the speed of his speaking and you’re missing more things as your writing and you’re not , fully understanding the parts that you are writing because you’re not taking the time to digest them. It’s just words. Better to make a full connection with what’s being said and be able to restate them in your own words before writing them down as a proposed to trying to write them down in the teachers own words, which is much less useful to you. Thank you for confirming that that’s a good method. The only thing between me and you is that I wouldn’t have said that that step one in writing mind maps. Mind is something that I have not understand. I’m hoping that this video will change that as well. I’m not finished watching, but I’m off to a great start watching your video.
These advice are indeed really helpful and scientific-based but I wonder if there are any guides that is ADHD friendly in creating MIND-map as ADHD-era often struggle to focus, let alone retaining information for a long period of time….
would you say it's okay to wait until the lecture is over as opposed to only waiting 5-10 minutes to start writing notes? i feel like spending some time reflecting on the whole lecture's information and organizing it thoroughly before writing it down during our break works better for me.
Are you supposed to start mind mapping during the lecture? After the lecture? After every day? at the end of the week? And same questions for when you add on/edit it
What app do you use for your mindmapping? All the ones I've found so far don't let you draw/write, they force you to type and use pre-defined connections and nodes. Edit: Alternatively, they don't offer an infinite canvas or don't let you save your mind maps.
In podcasts when two intellectuals are talking one asks the other a long question or many Questions. The other person remembers all questions or 70% part of them. My memory is too weak if someone asks me a second question I will forget the first question and I will not understand the second question also . It is very frustrating for me. 😢 I need video on this
2:00 the reason i keep typing or write is because the teacher is too quick or i write too much after a topic and there is a break(there are times when there was no break in between,so i try to write as much as possible ) 2:22 when i try to think about the topic,i am behind in notes in class that is why i just write
You confused me by saying juggling information hinders learning, but also recommending delaying note-taking. If we delay, we still need to hold the information, which leads to the same juggling.
he meant juggling more as in you're simply writing down words soon after your professor has said them. you are not actively thinking about and organizing the information, you are juggling it in your brain, waiting to write it down. this is why you should delay note-taking and instead focus more on grouping/chunking information and generally thinking about it critically to establish connections to the bigger picture.
I learn Backend development after learn Front-end developer, and I only learn it from RUclips, when I try to learn backend, it's feeling like I'm so dumb even can't figure out the simple thing.

thank you so much you've helped me so much
Justing is such a blessing
Thank you so much. You are just right.
Thank you so much! I will now try this and try to master it.
just completed a MM and you dropped this to help me even more, thankyou!
This is why I hated university. There was never any time to process information, it was just fired at you and you better get it all down because after one lecture you are immediately on to the next lecture. Good luck trying to remember an entire day's worth of lectures at 6pm in a noisy library.
The information you provide is priceless. Your delivery is also strong, clear, digestible and information is backed up with both information and examples really thank you. However your pace is terrible i felt like somebody is choking me. i am not sure if you wanted to hit some minute mark but this video can easily be summed up to be a 10 minute or less. I am watching in 2x by the way. Thank you for the content that is regardless your pacing the most important one!
11:30 I love those graphs.
Wow 9:30 learnt something new, will definitely going to try this out. Thanks 👍
you're top 1 for mindmaps on youtube, I'm doing an accounting course, I wanted a mindmap for my lessons and accounting concepts, the video is really messy. I didn't understand a thing! More simple and complete, we know how to do? abused, a LOT OF BLABLABLA!
Thank you Dr. Sung. I'm almost there thanks to you.
I have noticed that the process of 'Back and forth' thinking is an integral component for learning
Just on time,exactly when u needed it
I love you man. Thank you for sharing all these tips with us
The main reason I have trouble taking notes isn’t because I don’t trust my brain or that I just don’t know how, but that usually the professors are moving onto another topic while I’m trying to process and rewrite the information that I was just given into a way that I a.) understand the concept and b.) will understand what I meant in my notes later on
I default to only taking notes on things that feel important or seem like part of the big idea
Great video, been doing some of these subconsciously.
Thank you
We need you to upload more often

Can you make a video on how to practice Retrieving when using mind maps
This content is so engaging I delayed my note taking for 18:45 🤭
I'm about to lose my mind over my Chemistry studies and Justin is just-in time. I watched one of your older videos yesterday on how to read more quickly and effectively with the Sub-Vocalisation, Grouping and Pausing, and I tried it out and I was skimming through entire paragraphs like it was a breeze of air and actually remembering dates and the names of Russian chemists and a bunch of content that would just normally overload my brain and make me thirsty from thinking. I'm also doing psychology studies and they are a lot harder to remember facts with flashcards, because lots of the psychology content, especially social-experiments are interconnected. So I'm hoping this video will help me with turning my currently 84 (☠) need-to-learn flashcards on experiments into mind maps that I can visualise and simplify.
pls i watched it too yesterday aahahs its so much easier and quicker
He's got a video on learning Chemistry specifically, it's more of a live session/presentation that will maybe be helpful. Can probably find it easy if you search for it. There's also a 1-2 hours livestream of him learning Psychology (don't remember what level) on the ICanStudy channel.
@@Gigusx thanks for this 😭🙏
Very helpful ❤. Thank you so much. 😊
Yeayyy. New content!!
In my opinion word drop type1 is for more remembering stuff
And type 2 is for stuff like organic chemistry that has a lot of connects inbetween them. These connections may confuse you in examination if you are not clear about them
You go from higher order to lower order
You have these groups so that the isolated information fit in more easily and then you interleave your practice containing different levels of learning to check for any gaps and details that are too isolated are chucked into flashcards
Your comment is wrong, you need to watch justin's other videos
Loved this video. I watched it twice.
This video dropped at the perfect time
I cabt wait for step 5😢😢😢😢
Mindmap is a thing for ne now, thanks to you. But i still belive there is a missing gap.. working everyday to raise enough money to finally buy your course.
Perfect video for me! Thank you for your good work! ^^
The reason I write notes consistently as I listen to the teachers is so that I won’t fall asleep during class 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Those who like before even watching gather here
@@suhareb9252 LOL, the like helps the YT channel, but I use it as a marker that I have listened to/watched the video. I am not obliged to use the like button on only what I truly value.
When watch later exists…
And it was a mistake. Useless video
Thank you so much for the useful information
Keep going 😊
So I accidentally started doing this with my linear note taking in an effort to get more out of reading/studying starting to understand their might be a slight difference between the two 😅. With delayed note taking, and mind mapping I'll be an awesome ATC in no time.
Hello Justin please one video on you dissecting some advanced GRINDE maps 🙂🙂
Super informative! Thank you, Dr. Sung! Hope you will visit Taiwan someday!
10:45 Hmmm very interesting analogy. And I can put more clothes in my wardrobe (brain) if I fold them, instead of packing everything together I just cleaned and put it all at once.... It won't fit and I would need to take it out and start all over again. Even if something does fit, I wouldn't know where to find what I wantt. I must have a place only for socks and other only for jackets.... the informations must have sense and your organize it just like your wardrobe. Maybe you think it makes sense to put jackets and jeans closer to each other because they have the same color, or whatever. You find connections the same way.
Watched you for years. This one made it all click for me 🤯
I think sir is slowly getting back in shape
i use a speech to text tool called otter whenever I'm watching an educational video or an in person lecture and transfer the text file that's been translated into obsidian/ storage so that i can review it later.
however it does seem like a crutch, when i could just use my brain and summarize it.
Hello i am your new subscriber
Love from India ❤
But to have all the good content of the original notes and a teachers wonderful work of assembling it and not loosing any information. Say from excellent RUclips videographers how do we capture all their content as to create a library for those who come after us???
How do you document your study and take in new and contradictory info??!
please make a video on HOW TO PRACTICE MIND MAPPING Justin, sorry for caps
Thank you, found this one very helpfull
Useful video
Thanks 👍
woah thanks so much !
I feel some of us do this naturally just cause we're too lazy to take too many notes 😂😂😂 Jokes aside, this is a very insightful and useful video! I've fallen into the learning trap myself a few times and I still have a lot to learn on how to be more efficient
Thanks boss ❤
I'm terrible at writing notes. I'll listen without hearing. Then information i may regurgitate comes out from somewhere. I have no idea how it got there and it's usually un-organized , it doesn't make sense. I don't know what my brain is doing or how i learn . I can't keep up with my thoughts! What is that? It's like i have some combination lock on the access to my mind, but but know the combination. I really believe once i find that combo ,i can learn anything to the point i can be dangerous, super smart. Something/somewhere has that key
Ahh god complex
Actually, it's simple
I used to face a similar issue
For my case, it turned out that my basics were unmet which caused this
Sleep(My sleep used to shift significantly everyday and I did not have the sun shine come through which HEAVILY impacted my memory and focus)
Meditation(Taught me how to control my brain's focus)
YT/Social media Binging(I used to always get sucked into youtube and noticed that the algorithm really messes up my brain so I block ALL of them now and instead search what I want to see)
Exercise(Exercising has been shown in various studies to increase neurogenesis, your ability to learn new things and learn from your mistakes)
Diet(I basically fast everyday and this helps me maintain focus since the food I eat has a low GI(glycemic index), this also impacts focus, see cajun koi's video on this)
It's really these, invest into them heavily and you'll be amazed at how good you'll become
GREAT STUFF!!
Love it!
Thank you. I don’t know anyone else who would’ve even bothered thinking of tackling such a topic or even realizing that this was an issue. This is the kind of thing I really would’ve needed about 15 years ago. It kind of makes me cry because I wonder what I could’ve done it if RUclips was the way it is Today when I was younger. What I could’ve accomplished. Oh well, at least I get to take advantage now and see where I can go. Thank you.
In my defense, I had already decided that when I go back to school, I would stop taking notes. Cause there was a time when I was a top student that I would not take any notes at all. So either I would not take notes or I would write what I remember down after the class is over. So this video actually is very similar to what I had decided to do. It’s better to make sure you understand everything without competing with the teacher as you write notes, competing to catch up with the speed of his speaking and you’re missing more things as your writing and you’re not , fully understanding the parts that you are writing because you’re not taking the time to digest them. It’s just words. Better to make a full connection with what’s being said and be able to restate them in your own words before writing them down as a proposed to trying to write them down in the teachers own words, which is much less useful to you. Thank you for confirming that that’s a good method. The only thing between me and you is that I wouldn’t have said that that step one in writing mind maps. Mind is something that I have not understand. I’m hoping that this video will change that as well. I’m not finished watching, but I’m off to a great start watching your video.
I’m only eight minutes in, so when I am finished having my shower, I will watch the rest.
Your’re the best❤
Love mindmapping
always Fun Fun Fun
YAYY JUSTINN HE'S BACK
Sir, could you please make videos on how to study non-theory subject?(maths, physics, etc) Thanks a lot!
i zoned out multiple times while watching this video
These advice are indeed really helpful and scientific-based but I wonder if there are any guides that is ADHD friendly in creating MIND-map as ADHD-era often struggle to focus, let alone retaining information for a long period of time….
would you say it's okay to wait until the lecture is over as opposed to only waiting 5-10 minutes to start writing notes? i feel like spending some time reflecting on the whole lecture's information and organizing it thoroughly before writing it down during our break works better for me.
Dr. Justin Sung is the Ubermensch I strive to be one day!
Are you supposed to start mind mapping during the lecture? After the lecture? After every day? at the end of the week? And same questions for when you add on/edit it
What app do you use for your mindmapping? All the ones I've found so far don't let you draw/write, they force you to type and use pre-defined connections and nodes.
Edit: Alternatively, they don't offer an infinite canvas or don't let you save your mind maps.
@@FelixEvers06 try the [concepts] app.
In podcasts when two intellectuals are talking one asks the other a long question or many Questions. The other person remembers all questions or 70% part of them. My memory is too weak if someone asks me a second question I will forget the first question and I will not understand the second question also . It is very frustrating for me. 😢
I need video on this
Thank you very much. I am definitely going to try these methods. How effective are these for someone with ADHD?
2:00 the reason i keep typing or write is because the teacher is too quick or i write too much after a topic and there is a break(there are times when there was no break in between,so i try to write as much as possible )
2:22 when i try to think about the topic,i am behind in notes in class that is why i just write
You confused me by saying juggling information hinders learning, but also recommending delaying note-taking. If we delay, we still need to hold the information, which leads to the same juggling.
@@shivamanand6313 at some point you learn what to juggle and what to drop. Thats when it becomes efficient
@@drwitt343 thanks 😊
he meant juggling more as in you're simply writing down words soon after your professor has said them. you are not actively thinking about and organizing the information, you are juggling it in your brain, waiting to write it down. this is why you should delay note-taking and instead focus more on grouping/chunking information and generally thinking about it critically to establish connections to the bigger picture.
I learn Backend development after learn Front-end developer, and I only learn it from RUclips, when I try to learn backend, it's feeling like I'm so dumb even can't figure out the simple thing.
