    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.

    @MissRuthina 2 дня назад +1

    Wow. This was very helpful. I have always taken notes... like, word for word. Then I would go home from the lecture and immediately rewrite them out- but there was SOME thinking involved here. Because I was trying to shorten how many notes I was writing the second time. It was laborious and time consuming. For that year or so that I was needing the information, this was enough that it was completely "on tap" to remember. To this day, this has been my most successful learning technique and I've not really wanted to move away from it, even though the time cost is actually stupid. I did this for dnd notes, church notes, lecture notes... so tonnes of practice doing it incorrectly lol.
    BUT, recently I learned about sketch noting (literally just drawing some of your notes) and this has started me being able to do a bit of what you're saying here. Thinking about the information and trying to distill it down to a few icons and a few sentences about what the sermon or session was about. I don't necessarily remember more... BUT I am way more likely to go back through my notes because the drawings (doodles, scribbles, whatever) trigger a lot of information without much effort. There's not a LOT of this thinking distance. At best... probably only 15-30seconds really. That's pretty challenging already... but I'm going to make the leap and try to increase that time! I have a lot of space to practice in my life... staff meetings, dnd games, church... I'm all set! Cheers.

    The problem when listening to lectures is that they aren’t recorded. We have to manually record the lecture, that’s why we need to get as much of what the professor is speaking, on paper. Go over the readings, read lecture notes THEN form complex, meaningful ideas, after you’ve had the time to sit down and navigate the information.
    You can’t do that in lecture because it’s timed, they don’t pause for you, and it’s not recorded. Maybe it is NOW but 15yrs ago? No

    This is why I hated university.

Good luck trying to remember an entire day's worth of lectures at 6pm in a noisy library.

    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.

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.

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.

      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.

    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

    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.

    i have like the weirdest problem with mindmapping that seemingly no one seems to address; HOW DO YOU DO THIS IN A NOTEBOOK?
    like if you have an infinite canvas on a tablet or a huge board, sure. but what about like an a5 notebook? there's so little space to work in, you'll end up having to go to the next page in like a few seconds, where do you start with? how do you know if it'll all fit here? am i leaving enough space for the rest of it?
    THE SPACE MANAGEMENT IS WHAT KILLS ME HOW DO YOU DO THAT

    • @ez8566
      @ez8566 3 месяца назад +2

      If space is limited make more space. Try using post it notes and work with those until you build your model (or as your building your model). Consolidate your learnings on a separate sheet of paper.

    • @Cube_Box
      @Cube_Box 3 месяца назад

      You simply don't use papers(justin doesn't recommend them)
      Instead you get either a pen tablet(cheaper) or a tablet(a bit more expensive). If you don't know the difference then look it up
      Personally I first started with a pen tablet(wacom ctl 672) which was really cheap at the second hand market
      Later on, I upgraded to the Xiaomi Pad 6 tablet which had an absolute killer price for its feature set
      TL;DR: Justin doesn't recommend using paper as it's a large bottleneck to achieving your full learning potential

    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.

    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.

    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.
