Even after university, I still find myself watching all of your videos. I learn something new every time :). Thanks for the video Tom! I think sponsors are a win-win for us viewers and you. We can support your channel and get a deal on products/services that would be of value to us. Keep up the great work!
Me too! His videos helped me significantly with my university studies. I like that he understands the being human aspect, and doesn’t try to act all high and mighty. Honestly he helped pull me out of burnout
TL;DW: 1:58 Deconstruct the skill - break it down into individual sub skills 2:40 Learn about each skill - learn *just enough* about each subskill to start practicing 3:20 Eliminate barriers to success - barriers e.g. lack of motivation 3:55 Practice deliberately - until you’ve achieved prioritized goals Additional points: 4:25 Attempt to imitate the work of a master 6:19 Find a teacher/ coach/ course - check out SkillShare 8:02 Record your practice sessions 8:44 Do focused practice for long periods of time 9:20 Vary the Stakes
Thomas, I knew your channel yesterday and It was a great discovery because I'm using your vídeos to improve my listening skills in english. I've been studying english a couple months ago and in the beginning I couldn't understand nothing and now I'm can uderstand some of your vídeos. Thanks!!!!!
Deconstruct the skill Learn about each sub-skills Eliminate barriers to success Practice deliberately, track time Imitate Be taught by someone Record your practice Long and focused practice Vary the stakes when practicing Start now
The value you add in what you do, is most-literally up there along w/the best (who do this... ...as well). What a throwback 'gem', from a few yrs. ago! Thank you, Thomas, brother!
Needed a new video for helping teach skill acquisition as part of my senior PE course in Queensland high school and this fits perfectly. Thanks for sharing this video.
I love how you always share books with us, i'm new here and I already got a lot of amazing books from you that are changing the way I see things. Thank you
I'm gonna put these tips to test by applying them to improve my reading comprehension. I have to prepare for the MCAT test. We have a section called CARS (Critical Analysis and Reading Skills). Wish me luck 🙏🏻
Thanks Man I've just started a new job and learning a new skill is a must there and the problem is that theres only 1 person doing what I have to manage and also they are transferring the skill to someoneelse while they are actually doing the job is its online and needed almost urgently everyday AND I'm trying to learn a the same time without disturbing much the work flow.😏 Your explanation has helped me to understand the steps and to realize what I have to do👊🏾
Hello there. I just wanted to thank you for many great videos you'd have upload. I am from Nicaragua, so you got yourself a big fan here, and a subscriber of course.
Thomas would you please consider doing a video on how to be a better speaker? You mentioned you went through hours of intense sessions in the process of becoming such a good public speaker, you must have had some techniques you stuck to? Thanks.
Congratulations on getting sponsored!! You did a really great job representing the sponsor's product in a way that wasn't invasive but also added to the video, and the video itself had a lot of really great content so it seemed like a really good fit.
Like the other person said, set up a reward system. For example, "I will learn this sub-skill for a certain amount of time today. I get to reward myself afterwards by watching a TH-cam video for 10 to 20 minutes". Something like that.
That's a good system. Also it can help to be very specific with the rewards as well. In this case if the reward is "I'll go on youtube", there's always a risk that you'll stay there for a long time, so be more precise like "I'll watch 2 youtube-videos but not more." That can help a lot. Especially if your reward is something like "eat some chocolate", how much is "some"? :)
Your videos are perfect , i wish that you sponsor every video that you make because i'm sure you take time and effort to look at what you sponsor before and it will sure be useful for us , Thank you Thomas :D
thank U so much Thomas for all these really helpful information, and there is a question that i want to ask you about, how you manage your emotions between what you do for your routine work and what you do as a youtuber?
Hey, love your videos. Could you maybe do a video on types of sleep patterns like biphasic and polyphasic sleeping? Sort of like your thoughts on it, effectiveness, and pros/cons for students and busy people? Thank you.
Aloha Thomas! I just finished watching Simon Sinek's "How Great Leaders Inspire Action" video. Thank you so much for mentioning it. It is amazing...absolutely amazing! ;)
I have a bit of a caveat to what was said about imitation, as it applies to drawing and animation: it's good to break down what other artists have done, but it is far more important to draw from life. Whether you're doing still lifes or animating from a motion reference, it's incredibly important to draw from real life if you want to improve.
Depends on what career or skill you want. Most of the time though the things you learn in school are usually very applicable to a large variety of other skills, you just don't realize it until later. If you're certain your career is not going to take any advanced math for example, by all means, don't spend time in that area. If you have any feeling it might, however, you'll probably still want to go to school and learn those skills.
I think discontinuation/ long breaks disturbs the mind and it's difficult to start again. I keep on doing practice of any skill unless I am sure that I have learnt that particular skill.
What's your opinion on learning skill on-by-one vs multiple skills together in terms of efficiency ? I mean, learning one skill by dedicating more time to it to a point where we get good enough that no more time investment is needed & then move to the next one. vs Learning little pieces of let's say 2 skills everyday consistently so that everything remains fresh in memory.
It's really okay for me if you inserted an advert in your video... After watching this, I think what you've done is nearly making a review for a product. I could believe what you've said that you actually think that site is good. What I really need indeed is a tutorial that help me building my skill on the internet. And it's thousand and more, it confuse me. So yeah this video is really helpful, thanks, and you're deserved a payment for advertising really ^^ sorry for my bad english in advance
Hello, Thomas! just joined your community -- really impressed by your content! May I know when you started figure-skating? Since you were a kid or an adult?
A very usefull skill I learned is to type faster with the ten finger system. Although now I am stuck at about 50-55 words per minute. Does anyone got a tipp to go from having learned the skill to a advanced person?
Thomas Frank Hi Thomas. I'm a big fan of you. Your tips really make a great impact on my way of studying. Recently I want to be more focusing on improving my patience. I have used StayFocusd ( an app you recommended) for such a long time and one of my favorite features is the Challenge. You know, in order to change settings, you have to type a long paragraph without making a typo ! Idk if you can recommend a software or an app which has the same feature but i can set my own paragraph as its challenge ? Thank you :D
Thomas I'd be interested in seeing a video about being productive with friends. I remember you mentioning once that you connect with your friends once a week to discuss how one or all of you are doing with your goals, so it'd be useful to see a video on how to approach that kind of thing effectively
Pretty much :-) We do figure circles, compulsory dances and freestyle with the cool jumps and spins just like an ice skater would. I started a year ago in the wooden floor rink I skated as a child. Currently training for regional competition in March / April. Helped me drop 16 lbs. so far! How long have you been ice skating?
Waw, skillshare sounds super cheap compared to other "educational" sites! (And looks like the quality is a lot higher). I will definitely give it a go! The skill i want to master is better english. Conversationally it's ok, but when natives hear me speak and butcher their language in videos... need to improve that :D
Thanks. Could be useful for the hardest subject of all (harder than Math, Algebra, physics, philosophy): programming (coz' it's a combination of all that and more). God bless, Proverbs 31
Thomas, I'm on SHS, on my schedule's school there's one hour for counseling. I think counseling class just useless( we just playing around and do nothing) .I wondering what if we go home and study/rest instead of attending the counseling class. Which is the best way? Thank you
Thanks for the awesome video Tom! I just learned to juggle, play the guitar, and solve the Rubik's cube (each within a week) based on your tips! I even started a TH-cam channel to document my progress.
thankx alot.. may I ask you about a problem I struggle with.. I like alot of things.. like drawing, languages, music, hand writing, reading and more.. I face a problem with choosing the skill and working on it.. I don't know the right thing to start with?!! is it wrong to have a lot of hobbies??

This channel deserves more views and subscribers!
I loved your skill of describing things. Its awesome." A skill to learn"
Wow, what an advert xD This video was insanely helpful and the sponsor actually fit the topic, rather than some random Audible placement.

TL;DW:
1:58 Deconstruct the skill - break it down into individual sub skills
2:40 Learn about each skill - learn *just enough* about each subskill to start practicing
3:20 Eliminate barriers to success - barriers e.g. lack of motivation
3:55 Practice deliberately - until you’ve achieved prioritized goals
Additional points:
4:25 Attempt to imitate the work of a master
6:19 Find a teacher/ coach/ course - check out SkillShare
8:02 Record your practice sessions
8:44 Do focused practice for long periods of time
9:20 Vary the Stakes
This helped! Ty

Thank you! That's exactly what I was hoping to do :)
How do you deal with the practicing being extremely boring.
I'd say connect practising with rewarding yourself. Like "if I do this for an hour I can take a snack afterwards" or similar.
Like the other person said, set up a reward system. For example, "I will learn this sub-skill for a certain amount of time today. I get to reward myself afterwards by watching a TH-cam video for 10 to 20 minutes". Something like that.
That's a good system. Also it can help to be very specific with the rewards as well. In this case if the reward is "I'll go on youtube", there's always a risk that you'll stay there for a long time, so be more precise like "I'll watch 2 youtube-videos but not more." That can help a lot. Especially if your reward is something like "eat some chocolate", how much is "some"? :)
thank you for this info... I will definitely try to find this book
I really like your videos,they helped me when I started University,thank you very much

how you manage your emotions between what you do for your routine work and what you do as a youtuber?

I agree with everything in the video but it's 2:00 AM... I dont think now is the right time to start learning a skill Thomas.
A roomtour would be fine!
(Sponsoring is fine and normal)
This video has motivated me to start and keep learning what I want to learn, which is learning sign language. Thanks Thomas!
Am going to learn 2 languages in these year. Turkish and France
Great video, Thomas!
I am an artistic roller skater and never thought to film my practice before now. thanks for the idea!
That sounds cool! Is that basically figure skating on quad skates?
Pretty much :-)
We do figure circles, compulsory dances and freestyle with the cool jumps and spins just like an ice skater would. I started a year ago in the wooden floor rink I skated as a child. Currently training for regional competition in March / April. Helped me drop 16 lbs. so far!
