    Use your laptop/desktop with your non-dominant hand.
    I edit chess videos with my right hand. But then it got sore.
    Then I had to learn to edit with my left hand. Now, I can edit with both hands.

    I found GREAT value in this video. Thank you a lot. I'd love to see more of this kind of videos of how to optimize your functions as a human being, be it brain or physiological functions. Thank you again and I appreciate your effort. Your channel is one of the best (most informative and useful) in RUclips. I subscribed to this channel since you had only 2-3 videos, because I instantly saw the value and potential of this channel from the beginning. (this alone says a lot and can be even used as an information to a video, of how to make a good start and be more preferred than others)
    I've learned a lot from your videos. I take them as online educational courses, because I think that these kinds of things are what are indeed missing from our educational systems today so as students can acquire really useful tools to confront life and thrive. These are the things that I wish I had learned in school and feel like I am forming my own school today in my late 20s reading personal development books and watching channels like yours.
    Cheers again and keep up with the quality work.

    @DylanHughesPhotoVideo 4 года назад +1

    My criticism of speed-listening is... how are you suppose to digest anything you hear at that sort of pace? When you’re learning something new don’t you ever need to slow down and think about what you’re hearing? I sure do. And it has nothing to do with being “Slow.” I am a highly intelligent individual. But I’m the sort of person who sits and thinks and ponders, and doesn’t just consume and retain difficult information at double speed. So maybe that just means it wouldn’t work for me. But I assume there’s many others who must feel the same way. On the other hand, like you said in the video, maybe it would get easier with time.
