Hello Meena. Yes. It's a bit embarrassing when I look back at my early efforts at publishing RUclips videos. I'm happy that I've learned a lot. And you make a wonderful point. It's the CONTENT that matters. In fact, as a result of the many extraordinary testimonials I received I decided to expand these ideas and published them in my 3rd book, now on Amazon as both a paperback and in the Kindle format: "Straight A Strategies for Successful Online Learing" which became a category Best Seller. . amazon.com/author/mattdimaio

Hello Amy. You are right. In fact it was because I got so much positive feedback on this video, despite the obvious problems with lighting, that I published my 3rd book on this subject to Amazon, where I have been able to expand on the points much more thoroughly. Wishing you great success with your online studies.
I wish I'd seen it before my last term of university! It was definitely my worst term academically because I really struggled keeping myself accountable and I'd put off studying and watching lectures, and was behind for a long time which had very negative effects on my mental health. When I go back next term for university, we'll still have a lot of things online and I'm determined to make it so much better for myself and keep focused and strive towards my academic goals with more rigour. Thank you for your tips, sir!
Mr. DiMaio, you remind me of Winston Wolfe “The Wolf” from Pulp Fiction. You’ve clearly identified a need, you provide clear, concise solutions and you deliver them in a manner that isn’t condescending or over saturated. I can appreciate that and it’s helping me tremendously! Thank you sir! “I’m Winston Wolfe. I solve problems”. -The Wolf, Pulp Fiction
Hello Spartan7. THANK YOU for the wonderful comment. I appreciate it! In truth, it is my pleasure to be of service to you. Hope you enjoy the other videos on my channel and get benefit from them too.
This man is the GOAT of professors. Pragmatic information ready to apply. Please keep sharing your expirience and wisdom, Thanks a lot! Best regards from Barcelona.
OMYGOD Mr. DiMaio thank you SO much for this video!! I just got back to college and because of CoVid, I had to resort to online classes!! It's been driving me crazy because I've learned that I like lecture-type classes where I listen and take important notes, talking with other students/study groups, printing out material; PowerPoints, articles and using computer labs for typing up notes and study time. Also, I'm used to physical books and learned that I can't stand e-books sorry lol. But your video and suggestions are SO going to help me adapt and pass my classes!! And yes you are SO right when it comes to having self-discipline, no distractions etc. God bless you Mr. DiMaio and with your advice and videos, I know I will accomplish my goals of getting my Associates!! Stay safe and well Sir!! 🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am so lucky to have found your videos. The video about textbooks was always on my recommendation but I always procrastinate on watching it. And I just watched it tonight. It led me to this video, and then I even subscribed to the channel. I have been having struggles with online learning. And I am really thankful for the work you do. I will apply everything I learned to my classes and I definitely am sure that I will finish this semester well as long as I apply everything you taught us. Oh. Btw, I will study first and then I would watch one or two of your videos at the end of the day every day as my prize for studying. Looking forward to more of your wise and compassionate videos. Thank you for emphasizing the fact that online learning IS NOT easier than a traditional class setup as well.
ok, so it is literally so hard to describe how underrated this sir is !!!!! i have watched so many of your videos and u are really really helpful, informative and practical!! omg u, and especially your methods should have so much more recognition !! do u have a video on how to balance assignments/homework as well as studying for the exam? its gettting hard as assignments are so many and exams are so near. thank u for putting out greay content btw. :)
Welcome back Jan. Always pleased to see your comments. Yesterday I began expanding the information in this video and turning it into my next BOOK. I'll be posting an update as soon as it's available.
Mike thank you so much for this video!! As a former multitasker I can attest to the fact that multitasking does not work!! And being a visual learner I've been struggling with focusing in general because I tend to stray to social media or the internet, especially when I don't sleep well!! And with e-books, I cannot stand them lol, but SO hoping your tips help me moving forward!! Have a blessed day and stay safe and well Mike!!🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video ! I am Frenchb(sorry for my poor English) and I will start med school next week and I'm so stressed because of the online classes, thanks to you I am more organized and well prepared !

Hello Steven. Thanks for posting your comment. I'll be re-making this video. It contains good content but I was so new at shooting video that my lighting is an embarrassment. I look like I got caught in a radioactive storm.

Sir, your videos came at just the right time! Not only have I been contemplating starting an online course during the summer, but with the current global situation, I might have to continue learning online for university. Many thanks! Greetings from Bulgaria!

THANK YOU. I'm so glad you got value from it. (I was worried about the lighting problems I had on that video. But a comment like yours is encouraging.)
@@BeSmarterFaster Wow, thank you Matt, that would be great. You should have my email address so please contact me to make an appointment which suits us both. Otherwise I will contact you.
more than 10 years ago I passed on really hard tests, studying from 7 am to 10 pm, almost everyday. No youtube, no big social medias.. It was hard but the hard part was the test not the study, I was able to start study and keep studying all day, with some small breaks of course. And I also had some friends studying together, on the classes and after the class. Now I changed my life to another area and I have tons of online courses to learn but there is no College saying you need this grade....... there is nothing. It is just me trying to learn something new and getting better. But omg so many distractions, especially because I need to study on my computer. I wish I could go back to books but I have no choice. It is so hard.. to study! No big test coming, no grades, nothing. I need that to get a job and have a better life, even with that in mind a lot of times during the days it is so hard to study. Idk, if because it is only me on this path (my learning path) that it is so hard, feels lonely sometimes and all I can do is go online and see whats going on but this break any mood to keep studying. To add there is also... "Did you look for a job today?".. I know I need a job but nobody is going to hire me if I don't improve. Especially with this COVID thing. Now I am looking for videos like this, to understand what is going on and keep the focus. To be honest my youtube looks way cooler now (no more news or anything like that), just "how to improve" and gdc talks xD.
Hello Flavio. THANK YOU for this detailed post. I understand what you're saying. I have a video on my channel you may find helpful. ruclips.net/video/oWww27lFCPg/видео.html
You ARE one of my student L. Y. The fact that you're here, and viewing some of my video lessons is proof of that. THANK YOU for connecting with me. I appreciate your kind thoughts!
Thanks for checking in with me. I'm so pleased you found these ideas to be helpful. In fact due to the overwhelmingly positive responses I've gotten to this content I've expanded some of these points and have written my 3rd book: "Straight 'A' Strategies for SUCCESSFUL ONLINE LEARNING". It will be available on Amazon before the end of the month.
I have been looking for online learning strategy tutorials that will convey the importance of self discipline that actually sink into my 16 year old son's breautiful, smart yet challenging brain, without him glazing over as just another crazy thing Mom said. You reached him, motivated him. He is saving your tutorials now and actually getting into the action part of his well intended plans. Online learning is now his reality. Not by choice but sudden circumstances that threw so many students into it without the structure and guidance. Even parents find this new reality hard. That was not how we were taught. Conventional schools do a whole lot of that prep work for students. He now appreciates it so much more. Thank you.
Mia... WOW! Your comments are PRECIOUS to me. I am humbled. The fact that your wonderful son was helped by some of my ideas is the very reason I pour myself into this content. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. Thank you for taking the time to send me this note. I truly appreciate it. And please extend my personal regards to your son.
love your videos, i bet they will help me out a lot when school finally starts :D im currently taking notes and preparing myself and my brain to get into study mode again, it's been a few years lol
Thank you sir for this motivational video. I do most of the don'ts told in this video (like sitting on the bed , not dressed up, watching the lesson on fast speed and then going 10 seconds back etc etc... From now i am going to follow all the tips you hav given and also this video was much needed. Again thanks 😊
I am extremely new to your channel sir but I am glad that I found you. I hope you a lot of good health and peace of mind as I think It is indeed the most necessary thing. :) Love from India.
Thank you so much for this🤧 My online class would start next month and I already started to prepare my space to study and condition my self in a schedule slowly😂 its hard but your videos are really a gift😔💖

Hey Matt, would you agree that changing your studying environment to recall what you studied would be a good idea? If so, would you be able to do a video on it? I think the world would be interested on that topic.
Yes Frenchiveruti. Like I said in the description under the video: "PLEASE FORGIVE THE LIGHTING IN THIS VIDEO. The content is strong but there was clearly a problem with the lighting."
@@BeSmarterFaster Ah okay, I didn't see it because I mostly ignored it as it was the same content of the video. Thanks for your suggestions on how to keep a decent studying schedule, most of the thinns are things that I know but it's good to be reminded about them. Greets

Hello there sir DiMaio thank you for the video. I have a question hope you could reply. Why is it harder for me to remember information when the notes I have taken is from my phone and computer, but a lot easier for me to remember when "notes" are written from a paper?
Hello Dmtri. That is an EXCELLENT question. Here's the answer. It has to do with something called MSP: Multi Sensory Perception. That is, the more senses you use when learning something new, the more neural connections are made inside your brain. In other words, you're inputting information on multiple channels. I explain this in more detail in my series INSTANT CONCENTRATION here on my channel.
Hello Saurabh. It is best to NOT attempt to concentrate for long hours. It is best to focus on something for 25 to 45 mins. Take a 15 min break and then come back to it.
Hey Matt thanks for these useful tips. But can you tell me some tips on how to study online without experiencing digital eye strain and frequent headaches . These headaches skrew up my schedule. Expecting an early response.
Hello Jordan. Sorry it took me a few days to reply. Been overwhelmed with new activity. Truthfully, I don't have an immediate answer for you. It's something I'll need to research, as nobody has asked me this question before. Thanks for staying connected here on YT.
Hi again. I meant to ask. Are you THE Jordan Belfort or is it a YT handle you picked for yourself? Your site doesn't have any content so, I'm not sure which it is. Either way is just fine with me. But am curious. Thanks.
Hi Matt. It's funny because I am Jordan Belfort but I am not The Jordan Belfort. If I was him then i would have surely gifted you a yatch for the content you provide in this channel. And some lemon quaaludes too.😂😂

Welcome back Devesh. So pleased to see you commenting on another video. The way I'm referring to MINDSET in this video is that it's your Viewpoint/Attitude/Outlook. Some people have a negative attitude before they even begin a new project. They get beaten by their own thoughts. Others are optimistic about their expected outcomes and they succeed with a natural advantage. You must be in control of the THOUGHTS to which you 'SET' your mind. Hence: MINDSET.
@@BeSmarterFaster I also wanna know that how to form that positive belief system For ex if I wanna lose weight, I know that I need to lose but the reality hits that you can't skip even for 15 mins( asking in general) How to have that belief system even thought the reality is different. Also could you please explain the science behind vision board and how thing start manifesting... I take your words really really seriously and start implementing it automatically.....

Mr. DiMaio, you remind me of Winston Wolfe “The Wolf” from Pulp Fiction. You’ve clearly identified a need, you provide clear, concise solutions and you deliver them in a manner that isn’t condescending or over saturated. I can appreciate that and it’s helping me tremendously! Thank you sir!

Hello Spartan7. THANK YOU for the wonderful comment. I appreciate it! In truth, it is my pleasure to be of service to you. Hope you enjoy the other videos on my channel and get benefit from them too.
This man is the GOAT of professors. Pragmatic information ready to apply. Please keep sharing your expirience and wisdom, Thanks a lot! Best regards from Barcelona.
OMYGOD Mr. DiMaio thank you SO much for this video!! I just got back to college and because of CoVid, I had to resort to online classes!! It's been driving me crazy because I've learned that I like lecture-type classes where I listen and take important notes, talking with other students/study groups, printing out material; PowerPoints, articles and using computer labs for typing up notes and study time. Also, I'm used to physical books and learned that I can't stand e-books sorry lol. But your video and suggestions are SO going to help me adapt and pass my classes!! And yes you are SO right when it comes to having self-discipline, no distractions etc. God bless you Mr. DiMaio and with your advice and videos, I know I will accomplish my goals of getting my Associates!! Stay safe and well Sir!! 🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am so lucky to have found your videos. The video about textbooks was always on my recommendation but I always procrastinate on watching it. And I just watched it tonight. It led me to this video, and then I even subscribed to the channel. I have been having struggles with online learning. And I am really thankful for the work you do. I will apply everything I learned to my classes and I definitely am sure that I will finish this semester well as long as I apply everything you taught us. Oh. Btw, I will study first and then I would watch one or two of your videos at the end of the day every day as my prize for studying. Looking forward to more of your wise and compassionate videos. Thank you for emphasizing the fact that online learning IS NOT easier than a traditional class setup as well.
Literally it's the best video of this kind that i ever saw,Keep going :)
ok, so it is literally so hard to describe how underrated this sir is !!!!!
i have watched so many of your videos and u are really really helpful, informative and practical!!
omg u, and especially your methods should have so much more recognition !!
do u have a video on how to balance assignments/homework as well as studying for the exam?
its gettting hard as assignments are so many and exams are so near.
thank u for putting out greay content btw. :)
Watch this video more than one time. It contains a lot of valuable information. Thanks again.
Welcome back Jan. Always pleased to see your comments. Yesterday I began expanding the information in this video and turning it into my next BOOK. I'll be posting an update as soon as it's available.
Thank you sensei
Mike thank you so much for this video!! As a former multitasker I can attest to the fact that multitasking does not work!! And being a visual learner I've been struggling with focusing in general because I tend to stray to social media or the internet, especially when I don't sleep well!! And with e-books, I cannot stand them lol, but SO hoping your tips help me moving forward!! Have a blessed day and stay safe and well Mike!!🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video ! I am Frenchb(sorry for my poor English) and I will start med school next week and I'm so stressed because of the online classes, thanks to you I am more organized and well prepared !
Bonjour Mireille. Je suis heureux de faire votre connaissance.
By way of some encouragement. Here are a few testimonials from Medical Students from around the world.
+ "Thankyou sir.... I'm a medical student from India. This helps me read the bulky medical books effectively.ʘ‿ʘ" ~ SARATH GOPAN
+ "Hello sir, I have been following your method for almost 3.5 years now and it has never failed me. This is the only way I study. I started using this method in 11th and 12th grade, my pre-med course and still using it to this day, I am in second year of med school. Thank you so much!❤️🙏🏼"~ Manasee Telaang
+ "I'm a medical student and this helped me in my studies.Sir you are awsome and this is a practical technique .thank you thank you thank you so much." ~ Gayathri S Raveendran
+ "This has helped me read dense med school textbooks and remember what I read! Simple and effective, thank you! This takes longer than reading once over, but is shorter than reading twice! A lot of people think this is a shortcut, but these are the steps you take BEFORE you read the text. You're still reading the text, this is priming you so that you remember what you read. I can't believe people would think you can learn a chapter better by reading less words lol. SMH" ~ Richard Hawran, President Phoenix Learning Resources

Much needed at this hour... I got so much to learn but facing issues while learning online.
Yes, it's been quite a change for so many students. I am pleased to be of service to you.
@@BeSmarterFaster Great channel .. keep going, I wish this could have been there when we were in schools .
I wish I saw this 9 months ago , but I'm going work on it from now !!
Thanks sir🌺
I see you made this video right after we got kicked off campus due to the COOOF where online teaching became a reality! Luckily one of my Master's Degrees is in that area! 😇
Hello Steven. Thanks for posting your comment.
I'll be re-making this video. It contains good content but I was so new at shooting video that my lighting is an embarrassment. I look like I got caught in a radioactive storm. LOL
However the testimonials I got from this content inspired my Amazon book and I will be expanding some of this content into an inexpensive online course over the next month or so.
Thank you,sir! This is the 3rd video I've watched and your content are so helpful for my current situation.
Matt you are wonderful!!
Hello and THANK YOU a gulati. I appreciate you taking a moment to post your compliment.
Hope you’ve subscribed, as I have a lot of valuable educational resources on my channel. Be sure to check out my free video report too, if you haven’t done so yet.
thank you so much for these videos! you’re the best! i needed this information so badly
Hi! Just watched your video back in 2015 and I really liked it!! So here I am to another video. Haven't tried your tips yet but I bet it will really help especially nowadays online classes are kinda unusual not to me but to students and teachers as well. Looking forward to watching your videos!
Glad it was helpful! And Welcome Back Panton. I'm pleased to be of service to you.
Sir, your videos came at just the right time! Not only have I been contemplating starting an online course during the summer, but with the current global situation, I might have to continue learning online for university. Many thanks! Greetings from Bulgaria!
You can do it Serdica. I'm so pleased to be of service to you. Hope you’ve subscribed with notifications enabled, as I have many educational resources on my channel now, with many more to come.
@@BeSmarterFaster I am glad to hear that!!!
I'm so glad youtube recommend me this channel today. You've really been helpful sir and I hope u keep doing what you're doing 🙂 it's really helping me to study better. Thank you so much sir Matt
Definitely needed this video! I have been looking for online learning strategy because I'll start my online class next month. Thank you, sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Another out of the park home run.
THANK YOU. I'm so glad you got value from it. (I was worried about the lighting problems I had on that video. But a comment like yours is encouraging.)
Every word in this video is so true and helpful!. Thanks.
Hello again Jan. I'm so very pleased to see you connect with me here on YT like this. We should arrange a meeting via Zoom and have a personal talk.
@@BeSmarterFaster Wow, thank you Matt, that would be great. You should have my email address so please contact me to make an appointment which suits us both. Otherwise I will contact you.
more than 10 years ago I passed on really hard tests, studying from 7 am to 10 pm, almost everyday. No youtube, no big social medias.. It was hard but the hard part was the test not the study, I was able to start study and keep studying all day, with some small breaks of course. And I also had some friends studying together, on the classes and after the class.
Now I changed my life to another area and I have tons of online courses to learn but there is no College saying you need this grade....... there is nothing. It is just me trying to learn something new and getting better. But omg so many distractions, especially because I need to study on my computer. I wish I could go back to books but I have no choice. It is so hard.. to study! No big test coming, no grades, nothing. I need that to get a job and have a better life, even with that in mind a lot of times during the days it is so hard to study. Idk, if because it is only me on this path (my learning path) that it is so hard, feels lonely sometimes and all I can do is go online and see whats going on but this break any mood to keep studying. To add there is also... "Did you look for a job today?".. I know I need a job but nobody is going to hire me if I don't improve. Especially with this COVID thing.
Now I am looking for videos like this, to understand what is going on and keep the focus. To be honest my youtube looks way cooler now (no more news or anything like that), just "how to improve" and gdc talks xD.
Hello Flavio. THANK YOU for this detailed post. I understand what you're saying. I have a video on my channel you may find helpful. ruclips.net/video/oWww27lFCPg/видео.html
He is so sweet!
I wish I could be one of his students!
You ARE one of my student L. Y. The fact that you're here, and viewing some of my video lessons is proof of that. THANK YOU for connecting with me. I appreciate your kind thoughts!
@@BeSmarterFaster Oh thankyou so much!
That really touched My heart sir! 🙇
I just started my online class and this helped me a lot. Thankyou!
Thanks for checking in with me. I'm so pleased you found these ideas to be helpful. In fact due to the overwhelmingly positive responses I've gotten to this content I've expanded some of these points and have written my 3rd book: "Straight 'A' Strategies for SUCCESSFUL ONLINE LEARNING". It will be available on Amazon before the end of the month.
U are amazing sir thankyou for this video
Most welcome
You got another follower here! Laughing with your intro hahaha cute.
I have been looking for online learning strategy tutorials that will convey the importance of self discipline that actually sink into my 16 year old son's breautiful, smart yet challenging brain, without him glazing over as just another crazy thing Mom said.
You reached him, motivated him. He is saving your tutorials now and actually getting into the action part of his well intended plans. Online learning is now his reality. Not by choice but sudden circumstances that threw so many students into it without the structure and guidance. Even parents find this new reality hard. That was not how we were taught. Conventional schools do a whole lot of that prep work for students. He now appreciates it so much more. Thank you.
Mia... WOW! Your comments are PRECIOUS to me. I am humbled.
The fact that your wonderful son was helped by some of my ideas is the very reason I pour myself into this content. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. Thank you for taking the time to send me this note. I truly appreciate it. And please extend my personal regards to your son.
You have got really great knowledge sir!
Tho I must say you should work on video lighting as well!
😀
You are right... on BOTH counts Md. 😃 That's why I specifically mention it right at the top of the description under the video. LOL.
love your videos, i bet they will help me out a lot when school finally starts :D im currently taking notes and preparing myself and my brain to get into study mode again, it's been a few years lol
Outstanding. So glad to have you with us here.
Thank you sir for this motivational video.
I do most of the don'ts told in this video (like sitting on the bed , not dressed up, watching the lesson on fast speed and then going 10 seconds back etc etc...
From now i am going to follow all the tips you hav given and also this video was much needed. Again thanks 😊
Hello Ayesha. What an honest post. THANK YOU. I'm very pleased to be of service to you.
I am extremely new to your channel sir but I am glad that I found you.
I hope you a lot of good health and peace of mind as I think It is indeed the most necessary thing. :)
Love from India.

Thank you so much for this🤧 My online class would start next month and I already started to prepare my space to study and condition my self in a schedule slowly😂 its hard but your videos are really a gift😔💖

My pleasure! Thanks for being a loyal viewer Shubham.
While I don't take online classes, I do watch a LOT of self-improvement videos.
Do you have something on getting the most out of those?
BTW I loved our series on Instant Concentration.
Thank you so much much, sir, for sharing your experience and knowledge with us, Every minute of your video is valuable, Lots of Love from India.
You are most welcome S. S. I very much appreciate your kind thoughts. (And of course I know I need to work on better lighting too. 😆)
What an amazing video, thanks sir 👍

I'm planning on it now. Thank you for asking. I've got so many topics to cover and getting to them all is a bit challenging. As you can see from this video, I've still got a lot to learn myself... about lighting. 😆
@@BeSmarterFaster 😄😄
Thank u for the vid!😊🙌🏼
My pleasure!!
Sir respect fro m INDIA ❤️👍
Hey Matt, would you agree that changing your studying environment to recall what you studied would be a good idea? If so, would you be able to do a video on it? I think the world would be interested on that topic.
Hello MrBass. That's an interesting topic you propose. Let me do some research on it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks Matt!!
You bet! Always good to see your comments Dragon. Am glad to have you as a loyal viewer.
Hey Matt, check the color correction of your video software. The contrast is too low, your face literally glows
Yes Frenchiveruti. Like I said in the description under the video: "PLEASE FORGIVE THE LIGHTING IN THIS VIDEO. The content is strong but there was clearly a problem with the lighting."
@@BeSmarterFaster Ah okay, I didn't see it because I mostly ignored it as it was the same content of the video.
Thanks for your suggestions on how to keep a decent studying schedule, most of the thinns are things that I know but it's good to be reminded about them.
Greets
@@mr2octavio Thanks for the note back. I'm happy to know that you've already been doing a number of the things mentioned in the video. Keep it up.
Sir I haven't attended live online classes from a month cause it was just not for me, I didn't understand it so easily!
I have piled up alot of work! 😅
Don't be like me!
Sir ,what if we have less time and more pre,- recorded lectures to do with full concentration
Welcome back K M. Regarding concentration here's my series called INSTANT CONCENTRATION. You may find it helpful. This is part 1. ruclips.net/video/ODqtHy5URVA/видео.html
This video is very helpful for beginners, excellent content. Surely it will motivate others to follow.
I #BrainBlitzAudios appreciate it.👌👌🧡🧡🧡😊😊😊👍👍
Hello Brain Blitz Audios. I'm very pleased to read your comment. Thank you. Hope you take a moment to check out the other videos on my channel. (I'll do the same with yours.)
I think you'll find that I've published a lot of educational resources that get into a level of detail that few others do. I'm very much focused on practical application rather than the more philosophical approaches others take.
At 1:09 when he said "Don't worry, I've got you covered," I thought he was about take my classes instead of my teachers😂😂
What is your approach to dissecting a scientific article?
This was helpful
Hello Emanuela. I am so pleased you found these ideas to be beneficial. Be sure to check out all the educational resources on my channel.
Thanks for viewing and for posting your comment.
I have a bad habit of multitasking....when I'm making notes i listen to music even now I'm drawing while listening to this.
May I suggest you view my series called “INSTANT CONCENTRATION: How To Focus Your Mind In A World Of Information Overload”. I believe you will find it beneficial. Here’s part 1. ruclips.net/video/ODqtHy5URVA/видео.html
@@BeSmarterFaster thank you sir
Sir please can you make a video on how to be more effective and productive with less sleep.
Hello again K M. That would be quite a trick. However you may get some value from this video. ruclips.net/video/5VvYOUf8NL0/видео.html
Hello there sir DiMaio thank you for the video. I have a question hope you could reply.
Why is it harder for me to remember information when the notes I have taken is from my phone and computer, but a lot easier for me to remember when "notes" are written from a paper?
Hello Dmtri. That is an EXCELLENT question. Here's the answer. It has to do with something called MSP: Multi Sensory Perception. That is, the more senses you use when learning something new, the more neural connections are made inside your brain. In other words, you're inputting information on multiple channels. I explain this in more detail in my series INSTANT CONCENTRATION here on my channel.
@@BeSmarterFaster thank you so much that helps a lot. I'm looking forward to watch that series of "instant concentration" of yours.
Could you pull one of those books off the shelf?
LOL. Liam, you're funny. Thanks.
😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
Sir please tell me how to concentrate for long hours while studying .
Hello Saurabh. It is best to NOT attempt to concentrate for long hours. It is best to focus on something for 25 to 45 mins. Take a 15 min break and then come back to it.
Hey Matt thanks for these useful tips. But can you tell me some tips on how to study online without experiencing digital eye strain and frequent headaches . These headaches skrew up my schedule.
Expecting an early response.
Hello Jordan. Sorry it took me a few days to reply. Been overwhelmed with new activity.
Truthfully, I don't have an immediate answer for you. It's something I'll need to research, as nobody has asked me this question before. Thanks for staying connected here on YT.
Hi again. I meant to ask. Are you THE Jordan Belfort or is it a YT handle you picked for yourself? Your site doesn't have any content so, I'm not sure which it is. Either way is just fine with me. But am curious. Thanks.
Hi Matt. It's funny because I am Jordan Belfort but I am not The Jordan Belfort.
If I was him then i would have surely gifted you a yatch for the content you provide in this channel.
And some lemon quaaludes too.😂😂
@@barfy.man3624 Now THAT'S funny. (and generous too. But skip the ludes... been clean and sober for a LOOOONG time now, although I WAS a hippie freak back in the day.) LOL. Thanks for the reply. I'll look into that eye strain thing for you.
woah good strategies, but that lighting is so odd! :)
Yes. Just like I said in the description below the video. LOL
I love you mr matt
Hello Manuela. WOW. What a LOVELY thing to say. THANK YOU.
I'm so pleased you got value from this content and I hope you get even more from the other videos on my channel. God Bless YOU.
What exactly do I take notes on?
You'll see examples of how to take notes here. This is a newer and more detailed video you may find helpful, as I compare the 3 different types of books you're likely to be studying. ruclips.net/video/4_a0ME65wAQ/видео.html

What actually do you mean by mindset??
Welcome back Devesh. So pleased to see you commenting on another video. The way I'm referring to MINDSET in this video is that it's your Viewpoint/Attitude/Outlook. Some people have a negative attitude before they even begin a new project. They get beaten by their own thoughts. Others are optimistic about their expected outcomes and they succeed with a natural advantage. You must be in control of the THOUGHTS to which you 'SET' your mind. Hence: MINDSET.
@@BeSmarterFaster ok
Thankyou so much for the answer
And here you showed your capability to remember any name instantly
Haha😊😊
@@BeSmarterFaster I also wanna know that how to form that positive belief system
For ex if I wanna lose weight, I know that I need to lose but the reality hits that you can't skip even for 15 mins( asking in general)
How to have that belief system even thought the reality is different.
Also could you please explain the science behind vision board and how thing start manifesting...
I take your words really really seriously and start implementing it automatically.....
I have accepted you as my career coach🙏🙏
Hey Matt light is pouring out of your face. Hard to keep my eyes open.
i know if i followed this video my future is going to be as bright as his face ........
Now THAT's a great line. LOL. Yeah, as I stated in the description the lighting is really off. But I'm glad the content resonated with you.
In fact, I've EXPANDED the ideas I covered in this video and have turned it into a BOOK. I'll be announcing it as soon as it's available on Amazon.
