Hey Justin I just want to say thank you for everything you're doing. I know that you get a lot of hate from people who assume before trying out your techniques. Most people are lazy and don't want to put in the effort and most people have a big ego that prevents them from even trying something they don't think (even with evidence) is going to work. I have been working on your techniques for months and I will say the first few months were the worst in my learning carreer lol. I doubted you so many times. But something kept me going, I knew that you were actually taking the right path. Fast forward to now, my procastination has decreasesd, my mental health has become better, my efficiency increases and I LOVE STUDYING. I'm not yet part of the course but you're doing God's work. I have been learning about cognition and psychology and it's amazing that everywhere I go I see you have intricately put things together for optimal learning. AT THIS POINT I'm also inspired by you and am also creating some own techniques for random problems I might be having. I've gone from being feedback dependent to innovative! Thank you so much. (btw guys feedback is important to but make sure it enhances you like motivation )
Funny enough, I actually failed one of my subjects because I abruptly decided to change my previous 'non-existent' ways and did what he recommended early this year, that first quarter of Uni was horrible, but now I have distinctions in all my subjects and I am able to even play video games now whereas before I would study the whole day, still barely pass.

Hey Justin this is a new technique but it fits so well with how my brain works, I was blessed to find your at right time sri krishna, thank you so much😊
This reminds me of the saying ‘slow is smooth, smooth is fast’. I don’t learn well without this kind of preparing the material for consumption and processing. If I don’t do the ‘slow’ work of configuration, which might feel unproductive, I end up procrastinating and cramming, learning nothing in the process.
Yea you’re completely right. It’s a concept that a lot of people struggle to accept because it feels counterintuitive when there’s so much to cover in such little time. Thanks for your comment, and I wish you all the best with your learning!
This is essentially the Zettelkasten method for me. You provided great insights on getting started and beginner mistakes making a schema/zettelkasten. Great presentation!
I have been a long-time subscriber, but this video is the one I feel was made for me. I recently started a new learning journey, and I could feel I was taking longer getting the information into knowledge that I can use. I do have high retention but I tend to stay on the information for too long - essentially a pseudo-memorization way I picked up when growing up. To reiterate, this is the video exactly meant for me to break out of my baked-in learning methods.
I clicked on the video just to avoid that bad feeling of not searching for effective ways to study, thinking I wouldn’t gain anything more than what I already knew. But I was surprised because I have struggled for many years, as every time I reached a certain point that you explained, I would feel overwhelmed and not know how to continue to finish the lesson effectively. Thank you so much for sharing these ideas.
we can easily understand you but to apply the information it is so hard and that's how learning must be, but our system has failed us in to this linear note take and not providing us with effective study skills but none the less thanks justin
If you become in a state of information overload, I'm thinking a way we can reintroduce this method is: -Break it into smaller digestible 15 min learning parts -Build a base schema in those smaller parts -Challenge existing knowledge within that small part -Reintroduce another part to start layering together slowly. Kinda reminds me of making mayonnaise haha. Adding oil to the egg yolk slowly and blending each time you need to reorganize. Do it too fast and it separates lol. To fix a mayonnaise, you need a new egg yolk and to add a broken mayonnaise slowly... Actually, if my statement is true, gonna remember this as the mayonnaise method LMAO

I found telegram Leo bot app truly hard for these kind of values. But I remembered this comment section of full of people with growth mindset. Yeah. I’m here for it

Knowledge - (2 things) Retention and mastery Retention - info we can keep/recall after a certain amount of time Mastery- our extended understanding of the information in terms of applicability and other connected ideas How do we improve both at the same time? Solution: Knowledge Schema - network of information Schema Construction - building the “network of information” (schema) 1. Make a draft by collecting resources and taking key concepts/ideas 2. Use what you know 3. Take a guess Upgrading the Schema Construction - Schema Assimilation - Taking the draft and adding onto it (additional information) The point of this is to expand and develop your Schema (reminder schema means “network of information”) 1. Keep it simple 2. Layers of learning (picking things that make the most sense) Schema Reorganization - cleaning/simplifying (group/rearrange/remove) 1. Do it often (not just the final step) - do these 3 things in intervals/sessions 2. Do it
Join my Learning Drops weekly newsletter here: bit.ly/3UwYnfw 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.
That's the issue with me. I have seen many forming schema for years (they might not know the term but they are great at it) but when I read books, I feel like everything is important so what to filter but then again when I see others notes available online, I find it relevant.
Ask questions like, "how is concept x related to concept y?" "how are they similar or different? " "can I group these, if yes why?" "why is this concept important? "" Is this relationship important, if yes/no, why/why not?" "is this group good or can i make a better one? Why/why not?" "which group and relationship should i put in my mindmap, why?" write these types of question down and go back and forth between the relavant materials and your mind map trying to answer as much as you can. It may be overwhelming at first, so try to limit it to the most important questions first, giving yourself enough time to think. Hope it helps 😊
So back and forth, in it essence is the active learning. While you're studying, you actively thinking about the cause and effect, similarities and differences, evaluating your knowledge based on how clear your understanding is, alternatives ways of grouping information. When you're doing these thinking process, you are asking questions about what you are curious about, and in order to answer the question you need to flip through pages, think again about it, look at what you feels relevant. And that is so called back and forth
Your techniques are awesome, however its theoretical knowledge. If you do and show(by picking a topic and applying the technique/pillars) it would be more helpful
For reconstruction schema the thing that helps me alot is if i try to find patterns and reserach whats common thing amongst all of this keywords and how they all connect to each other
Im a new subscriber and Ive watched a few of your videos and I get a little overwhelmed by the amount of techniques and mindsets I need to keep in mind. Is there like 1 or 2 videos you recommend to delve deeply first and understand before trying out slightly different techniques?
i cant thank you enough Justin, for the work you are doing, i cant imagine where I'd be if i wasnt blessed with all the knowledge you provide im back in school after 9 years and these tools are a game changer please dont change and keep doing what you do! you da man!
This is so exciting, and feels quite approachable. My eyebrows were raised at reorganising schemas every 10-15 minutes! Hahaha, which makes me think I'd so easily fall into that trap - thank you for highlighting this very clearly.
Great to hear the excitement! Yea that’s a big lightbulb moment when I do workshops in person. People often think of schema construction as this long laborious thing that happens over days or weeks or years. Just because it CAN take ages doesn’t mean it SHOULD or HAS TO. All the best Emma!
It's fun because, in my study concept, I use something similar to that. I create every history in my mind that tells me about something. This connection with the information is more assimilated with my mind, and I can remember better later. This video is very good. Thanks for that. I study English to improve my life and, of course, find a better job.
Thank you so much Justin, this video is really helpful! I love your videos and have been applying the techniques you taught to my research work. It's easy to get overwhelmed by so many difficult concepts and it's hard to connect different concepts together. This video helps me create a system for my learning. Thank you! :)
This is also like my system I work on called MIND MAPPING. Thanks man you just re-enforced my system. I always tell people , treat learning as remembering , if you always think learning is all about stacking information you are missing it😢
Thank you so much, this video was really helpful and this method will really stick in people's head easily because of how the information is sorted, so this a really effective method. Ty ❤
So, layers are fine-tuning your schema. Continually streamline a series of mindmaps (or something like that) until you've broken down the information to its simplest or easily understandable form. Once you've done this, you've pretty much accomplished the schema-correct?
Great question! In simple terms, yes. But there’s an important nuance which is that the WAY you form the schema also matters. For example, if you just spam as many relationships as possible to connect everything together, you’ve “technically” created a schema, but it isn’t very meaningful. The hard part that takes practice (and produces the most benefit), is being very mindful about how you break down the information, how you simplify and group it together, and how you make it fit into an intuitive big picture that actually makes sense to you. It definitely can be a challenging process, but keep going you are on the right track!
This works great for some classes. But what about a course like graduate level pharmacology? Seems predominantly like active recall and random facts. Compared to physiology this would work great
I can see your point, what my take in this video is creating relationships from one topic to another. In Pharmacology, this is relevant because you need to know effects of certain drugs to the body which building "schema" can help you recall the information quickly rather memorize facts in isolation which is not how our brain works in remembering information.
Really great question! There are definitely some subjects and retrieval situations where isolated recall of facts is more necessary. In these cases, memorisation techniques are valuable. However, most people see it as very black and white and resign themselves to memorising everything. In my experience (as someone who has learned pharmacology and also trains many pharmacists/pharmacy students), most people think of it as a topic where 70-80% is for pure memorisation. But after deliberately trying to create schemas, that number drops to only around 40%. It’s still a lot compared to some other subjects, but the impact that HALVING your rote memorisation requirement has on your overall efficiency is enormous. So it may be challenging or feel unnatural at first, but keep at it and you'll do great!
This is what i figured out watching his content to solve numericals there isn't any specific tutorial so you'll have to create one. 1. Collect keywords of main concepts 2. Check out how numericals involving concepts are asked in exams & how's the relationship between multiple concept are tested 3. Form group of keywords of the main concepts 4. Make a mind map that shows relationship between concepts 5. It's the same method as this in the video you'll have to form a map of all concepts of chapter. That shows all the major relationships. The map becomes a visual representation that shows "how thinking is done in your brain" 6. then solve practice problems that involves multiple concepts 7. if you're stuck while practicing look at the relationships in map & figure out why you're stuck learn more refine map by asking "what's the relationship I'm missing in my map" "how to use this relationship to find the answer" this way you'll be able to slove a lot of questions easier
Thank you! Can you illustrate it with an example. Wht about the extra info, if not mentioned in the third step of reorganization, is there a better way to organise em to?
Justin,i have a problem, when i learn anything for some time like 20-25 minutes mind craeted brains fog like i feel i forget something i forget 80% what i learn If i read a page at bottom i feel like i didnt read anything.
I must admit, I feel smarter by just watching this guy😅 and I think his advice is working fr fr...the first time I watched a video from him I wasn't really interested but I keep coming back to watch more because I think it's working and....I now enjoy watching these videos 😅
You are good at describing what people do when they are learning but that's the bit that seams automatic, how else would you learn. How do you useschemas to process writing and not miss bits out though. What technique would you use to ensure that the schema and moving pictures in your brain get down on paper / screen at the quality it would if you spoke it or drew it ?
Thanks for your comment. So for translating knowledge into writing, I promote the usage of deliberate schema construction to clearly identify the flow of ideas and narrative. Most of the time I find problems with writing come from a lack of clarity in the actual schema of how someone thinks of the topic themselves. And so writing forces gaps to become visible. Hope that clarifies your question!
So mindmaps are for making relationships with information you already know with new information and this methodis for new information and conceptualizing it into the imperative topics
Would you ever do a video on critical thinking and problem-solving? I am aware that the transfer of logic from one field to another is pretty low, so I would be excited to see your take. Also, is there a chance for a person with an average intelligence to become a very well respected Ph.D in history or become a good student in philosophy?
You mean with the pillars, i have to first make a foundation from all the point and after add to them making layers and details and after i have to reorganization, just studying what i have i feel like these is making it a long process, which is to make me maintain my retention,,, What could help is if you tell me how can develop my retention??
The fact that i already knew everything this video taught me but i still struggles a bit on schemas. I think it's the fact that i just don't want to study and my mindset is that studying is ofter boring. And schemas are a bit completed to build and they comes with more practice and it will eventually lead to spending more time in the knowledge. 😂 So it's like if you actually want to study faster just spend more time on it without getting distracted and think of it as a interesting thing which I often struggles to do. 😅
can you please show an application of this to different fields of study like literature for example I am preparing for competitive exams and I have to learn vast topics like history of literature, learning about various time periods in history and what authors and works each generation produced ....how would you tackle this knowledge
Hi Justin...hope u r doing well and helathy... I am watching almost all ur videos...but still unable to get any crystal clear ideas how to study to remember for a long time and also how to prepare a perfect mind map or short note ...can you please make a live video on this how to do the schemas process and mindmap of a any chapter of ( any subject of upsc syllabus) ...pls make one...its really urgent and imp...pls give a reply when u see my msg...wating eagerly for your reaction on this msg...Thank u ..
Hi, interesting, however, in my opinion training methods should always consider the "individual history of the brain," as each brain is uniquely wired. There's no universal "best technique" that works for everyone.
8:11 here but can't i just made a mindmap? , i didnt get how schemas works the only way i can connect info is some connections using mindmaps and now i feel more stressful and dump
Even I feel the same as you do, but later i understood the schema is of a particular structure how to read or approach a topic ,on the other hand,mind mapping is about how you connect this in organised after self understanding/processing . Combination of both gives best retention and mastery .Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hey I have a question. Does creating Schemas always mean writing down and creating mind maps and delete them again and write them new? Because somehow when you say make connections and foundations I can only think of writing and creating mind maps. Thank you so much for video !!

amen
I will remember it as Outer Wilds method hahhaha
This is my thoughts and how I represent it for myself
Thank you Justin for sharing such an amazing technique ♥
Simpler:
1. Explore what you have, guess the meaning of things (this step is for things you know nothing about)
2. Gather knowledge at limited time (build up on your existent knowledge)
3. Connect dots/compare/cut off unrelated things and think what you're missing ( if on this step something is unclear then repeat from step 2, if it didn't help, repeat from step 1 )
Descriptive:
1. Construct (Draft)
- collect keywords from INFO (learning material)
- collect familiar keywords first
- Guess the meaning behind keywords you don't know (if *thing* works like that, what happens if *imagining the situation with the thing*)
{ You have a draft with most repeating keywords and what you think they mean }
2. Assimilate (Upgrade Draft)
- Search INFO for keywords meaning
- add, update, assimilate found meaning to your guessed keyword meanings
- If meaning is unclear than maybe it is connected to the other keywords,
skip it and try another one
- Outer Wilds method: set timer under 22 min and repeat process again only after Reorganization step
{ You have a meaningful draft with most repeating keywords and grouped meaning from you and from INFO }
3. Reorganize (Group&Simplify&Remove Draft)
- Group keywords and meanings that can be grouped
- Simplify meanings, make them stupidly simple if needed, so 3 y.o. can understand
- Remove keywords and meanings that are seem unnecessary
- Always try to compare even seemed unrelated keywords meaning

Hi
I found telegram Leo bot app truly hard for these kind of values. But I remembered this comment section of full of people with growth mindset. Yeah. I’m here for it
Justin might be thinking : WTH is going on here
@@Idkdotdotdot probably yeah Lul
@ where are you from bro
i kind of knew these things from your other videos but it was like, a little bit here a little bit there. So i am very happy that you put them all together in one place. keep doing what you are doing sir, you changed a lot of lifes.
Nice video, schema, assimilation and accomodation.you reminded me of Jean Piaget view of learning
Thank you, that's really encouraging and am really curious to learn more from you!
Knowledge - (2 things) Retention and mastery
Retention - info we can keep/recall after a certain amount of time
Mastery- our extended understanding of the information in terms of applicability and other connected ideas
How do we improve both at the same time?
Solution: Knowledge Schema - network of information
Schema Construction - building the “network of information” (schema)
1. Make a draft by collecting resources and taking key concepts/ideas
2. Use what you know
3. Take a guess
Upgrading the Schema Construction - Schema Assimilation - Taking the draft and adding onto it (additional information)
The point of this is to expand and develop your Schema (reminder schema means “network of information”)
1. Keep it simple
2. Layers of learning (picking things that make the most sense)
Schema Reorganization - cleaning/simplifying (group/rearrange/remove)
1. Do it often (not just the final step) - do these 3 things in intervals/sessions
2. Do it

@@JustinSung video Hindi language
Sir after 10 and 15 min confusing when to reconstruct schema please tell after how many infos we added
you speak too fast. please speak a little slower in the next video 😢
That's the issue with me. I have seen many forming schema for years (they might not know the term but they are great at it) but when I read books, I feel like everything is important so what to filter but then again when I see others notes available online, I find it relevant.
Justin
Please make a video on how to develop 'Back and forth thinking ' for any level
Ask questions like, "how is concept x related to concept y?" "how are they similar or different? " "can I group these, if yes why?" "why is this concept important? "" Is this relationship important, if yes/no, why/why not?" "is this group good or can i make a better one? Why/why not?" "which group and relationship should i put in my mindmap, why?"
write these types of question down and go back and forth between the relavant materials and your mind map trying to answer as much as you can. It may be overwhelming at first, so try to limit it to the most important questions first, giving yourself enough time to think. Hope it helps 😊
So back and forth, in it essence is the active learning. While you're studying, you actively thinking about the cause and effect, similarities and differences, evaluating your knowledge based on how clear your understanding is, alternatives ways of grouping information. When you're doing these thinking process, you are asking questions about what you are curious about, and in order to answer the question you need to flip through pages, think again about it, look at what you feels relevant. And that is so called back and forth
@@ishrakmujibift4269 Thank you very much
@@王沛元that's an amazing way, thank you
Your techniques are awesome, however its theoretical knowledge. If you do and show(by picking a topic and applying the technique/pillars) it would be more helpful
Agree
Justin is spot on with this as always
Much appreciated for this amazing summative video. It makes a lot of sense ✨
Your look is awesome, & U r doing great Work, love from india ❤
You're English is amazing. the accent
6:43 this is the cycle i have been trying to break rn i will try out your methods and ill edit this comment after a week to tell you if it works
@@nightwalker6754 how did it go?
Thank you I'll def be following this from now on
For reconstruction schema the thing that helps me alot is if i try to find patterns and reserach whats common thing amongst all of this keywords and how they all connect to each other
This is gold
that's grouping, yep!
Hi Justin, thank u for your content.
Im a new subscriber and Ive watched a few of your videos and I get a little overwhelmed by the amount of techniques and mindsets I need to keep in mind. Is there like 1 or 2 videos you recommend to delve deeply first and understand before trying out slightly different techniques?
Thank you for the tips, Justin.
Thank you justin 🎉
i cant thank you enough Justin, for the work you are doing, i cant imagine where I'd be if i wasnt blessed with all the knowledge you provide
im back in school after 9 years and these tools are a game changer
please dont change and keep doing what you do!
you da man!
Thank you Justin
Thank you for this
This is so exciting, and feels quite approachable. My eyebrows were raised at reorganising schemas every 10-15 minutes! Hahaha, which makes me think I'd so easily fall into that trap - thank you for highlighting this very clearly.
Great to hear the excitement! Yea that’s a big lightbulb moment when I do workshops in person. People often think of schema construction as this long laborious thing that happens over days or weeks or years. Just because it CAN take ages doesn’t mean it SHOULD or HAS TO. All the best Emma!
It's fun because, in my study concept, I use something similar to that. I create every history in my mind that tells me about something.
This connection with the information is more assimilated with my mind, and I can remember better later.
This video is very good.
Thanks for that. I study English to improve my life and, of course, find a better job.
Thank you so much sir may God bless you
Thank you so much Justin, this video is really helpful! I love your videos and have been applying the techniques you taught to my research work. It's easy to get overwhelmed by so many difficult concepts and it's hard to connect different concepts together. This video helps me create a system for my learning. Thank you! :)
Thank you Justin ❤❤❤
Currently constructing schema about the learning process with the three cognitive pillars
Whats the difference b/w Mindmaps and Schema construction ?
@@anshulsatvik same thing bro
Mindmap is a tool and schema construction is a process
@@ahmedelhedoudy2670 Yep, exactly spot on! Mindmap is just a tool.
Thank you Justin Sung
I follow your ideas and they are working for me....thank you 🙏
hey justin you are doing such a great thing can you help in numerical based subjects also like maths and physics i highly need them
This is also like my system I work on called MIND MAPPING.
Thanks man you just re-enforced my system. I always tell people , treat learning as remembering , if you always think learning is all about stacking information you are missing it😢
Great I need this knowledge
Thanks for information. 🎉😊❤
Thanks for coming into my life ✨
Thanks for the video 😊
Thanks Justin you are doing a great job!! :)
Would you consider making a video in syntopical reading? Great video as always!
Great Video Thank You very much❤
Thank you so much, this video was really helpful and this method will really stick in people's head easily because of how the information is sorted, so this a really effective method. Ty ❤
Well, this deserves a subscription 🎉😊
Thanks for this great episode. ❤ Love from India
Really loved the schema concepts.... Suggest me resources to study this method
Very good tips
This seems to be perfect guidance for constructing a mind map :)
Thank you❤
So, layers are fine-tuning your schema. Continually streamline a series of mindmaps (or something like that) until you've broken down the information to its simplest or easily understandable form. Once you've done this, you've pretty much accomplished the schema-correct?
Great question! In simple terms, yes. But there’s an important nuance which is that the WAY you form the schema also matters. For example, if you just spam as many relationships as possible to connect everything together, you’ve “technically” created a schema, but it isn’t very meaningful.
The hard part that takes practice (and produces the most benefit), is being very mindful about how you break down the information, how you simplify and group it together, and how you make it fit into an intuitive big picture that actually makes sense to you.
It definitely can be a challenging process, but keep going you are on the right track!
thank you
This works great for some classes. But what about a course like graduate level pharmacology? Seems predominantly like active recall and random facts. Compared to physiology this would work great
I can see your point, what my take in this video is creating relationships from one topic to another. In Pharmacology, this is relevant because you need to know effects of certain drugs to the body which building "schema" can help you recall the information quickly rather memorize facts in isolation which is not how our brain works in remembering information.
Really great question! There are definitely some subjects and retrieval situations where isolated recall of facts is more necessary. In these cases, memorisation techniques are valuable.
However, most people see it as very black and white and resign themselves to memorising everything. In my experience (as someone who has learned pharmacology and also trains many pharmacists/pharmacy students), most people think of it as a topic where 70-80% is for pure memorisation.
But after deliberately trying to create schemas, that number drops to only around 40%. It’s still a lot compared to some other subjects, but the impact that HALVING your rote memorisation requirement has on your overall efficiency is enormous.
So it may be challenging or feel unnatural at first, but keep at it and you'll do great!
Finally a simple how-to that my adhd brain can follow! thx
This is what i figured out watching his content to solve numericals there isn't any specific tutorial so you'll have to create one.
1. Collect keywords of main concepts
2. Check out how numericals involving concepts are asked in exams & how's the relationship between multiple concept are tested
3. Form group of keywords of the main concepts
4. Make a mind map that shows relationship between concepts
5. It's the same method as this in the video you'll have to form a map of all concepts of chapter. That shows all the major relationships. The map becomes a visual representation that shows "how thinking is done in your brain"
6. then solve practice problems that involves multiple concepts
7. if you're stuck while practicing look at the relationships in map & figure out why you're stuck learn more refine map by asking "what's the relationship I'm missing in my map" "how to use this relationship to find the answer"
this way you'll be able to slove a lot of questions easier
@@PaciMug excuses you’re just lazy and lack focus
Thanks man.
Justin, can you show how we apply this method
Thank you! Can you illustrate it with an example. Wht about the extra info, if not mentioned in the third step of reorganization, is there a better way to organise em to?
Justin,i have a problem, when i learn anything for some time like 20-25 minutes mind craeted brains fog like i feel i forget something i forget 80% what i learn
If i read a page at bottom i feel like i didnt read anything.
I must admit, I feel smarter by just watching this guy😅 and I think his advice is working fr fr...the first time I watched a video from him I wasn't really interested but I keep coming back to watch more because I think it's working and....I now enjoy watching these videos 😅
Can you please tell me how should we prepare schema construction. Can you give me an example
Do you prepare schema construction after reading your whole study material one time..
one of the most interesting video I have seen
Love from india ❤
का सगा ए डाहर का करत हस from cg 08😅😅😅
You are good at describing what people do when they are learning but that's the bit that seams automatic, how else would you learn. How do you useschemas to process writing and not miss bits out though. What technique would you use to ensure that the schema and moving pictures in your brain get down on paper / screen at the quality it would if you spoke it or drew it ?
Thanks for your comment. So for translating knowledge into writing, I promote the usage of deliberate schema construction to clearly identify the flow of ideas and narrative. Most of the time I find problems with writing come from a lack of clarity in the actual schema of how someone thinks of the topic themselves. And so writing forces gaps to become visible. Hope that clarifies your question!
@JustinSung Thankyou
So mindmaps are for making relationships with information you already know with new information and this methodis for new information and conceptualizing it into the imperative topics
Would you ever do a video on critical thinking and problem-solving? I am aware that the transfer of logic from one field to another is pretty low, so I would be excited to see your take. Also, is there a chance for a person with an average intelligence to become a very well respected Ph.D in history or become a good student in philosophy?
You mean with the pillars, i have to first make a foundation from all the point and after add to them making layers and details and after i have to reorganization, just studying what i have i feel like these is making it a long process, which is to make me maintain my retention,,,
What could help is if you tell me how can develop my retention??
I love you, Justin.
Ya I did join it thanku ✌️
The fact that i already knew everything this video taught me but i still struggles a bit on schemas.
I think it's the fact that i just don't want to study and my mindset is that studying is ofter boring.
And schemas are a bit completed to build and they comes with more practice and it will eventually lead to spending more time in the knowledge. 😂
So it's like if you actually want to study faster just spend more time on it without getting distracted and think of it as a interesting thing which I often struggles to do. 😅
What about I'm studying a language from my phone so? If I leave my phone I can't continue studying the language.
can you please show an application of this to different fields of study like literature for example I am preparing for competitive exams and I have to learn vast topics like history of literature, learning about various time periods in history and what authors and works each generation produced ....how would you tackle this knowledge
Hi Justin...hope u r doing well and helathy... I am watching almost all ur videos...but still unable to get any crystal clear ideas how to study to remember for a long time and also how to prepare a perfect mind map or short note ...can you please make a live video on this how to do the schemas process and mindmap of a any chapter of ( any subject of upsc syllabus) ...pls make one...its really urgent and imp...pls give a reply when u see my msg...wating eagerly for your reaction on this msg...Thank u ..
Hi, interesting, however, in my opinion training methods should always consider the "individual history of the brain," as each brain is uniquely wired. There's no universal "best technique" that works for everyone.
Is there a summary for this?
Could you make a video about thinking "outside the box" I feel like it could be imporatnt when trying to connect different subjects together
You don't need to force yourself to study you just need to love yourself
8:11 here but can't i just made a mindmap? , i didnt get how schemas works the only way i can connect info is some connections using mindmaps and now i feel more stressful and dump
Even I feel the same as you do, but later i understood the schema is of a particular structure how to read or approach a topic ,on the other hand,mind mapping is about how you connect this in organised after self understanding/processing . Combination of both gives best retention and mastery .Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi! Can I ask you what application do you use and you write and draw? Thank you for your video.
Hey I have a question. Does creating Schemas always mean writing down and creating mind maps and delete them again and write them new? Because somehow when you say make connections and foundations I can only think of writing and creating mind maps. Thank you so much for video !!
Thank man you are the best
