1- study for chunks of 25 to 30 min after that do something fun or go away
2- reward yourself after finishing your entire day
3- study concepts firstly then study facts
4- once you learn the concepts test yourself and learn actively
5- highlight the important terms
6- our brain is good at recognizing but it's not good at recollecting so you can
practice this by testing yourself and learn actively
7- flush out your notes to solidify the concepts in your mind if you feeling fuzzy with something
you can ask your friend who takes a good notes or ask your professor in office hours
8- summarize what you have learned by teaching it : 1- it's useful for recalling the information
2- to ensure that you understand the subject completely
9- to be good at memorizing is to use mnemonics :
1- acronyms : ROYGBIV (red orange yellow green blue indigo violet)
2- coined sayings : as you singing apoet about something you need to memorize
3- image association : to create a story in your head with what you have studied
ahmed abohay thx
ahmed abohay definitely: Thaanks!
ahmed abohay, thanks for helping me ...
u helped a lot thanks
👏 thanks
A lot of people think you talk too fast but personally, I like your channel *because* you are so fast-paced. I get distracted easily so when you keep it snappy and keep it moving, I can pay attention better!
yea!!
+Leiah Jansen yeahhahahahehehehee!
+Leiah Jansen yupp he is fast. I watched most of video in 1.5x but he made me to put 1.25x in his video... :)
+Asma AbdelQadir Agreed haha!:)
he has also better prononciation in 1.5x
this guy really took the "teach it to someone else" concept and thought we didn't notice him doing it
lmao didn't think of it that way
Well thats not a bad thing, he learnt.
Very meta
00:39 - Break your studying into chunked sessions
01:21 - Create a dedicated study area
01:56 - Study actively: Facts or Concepts
03:48 - Take more effective notes
04:11 - Summarize or teach what you learn
04:36 - SQ3R: Survey Question Read Recite & Review
05:10 - Use mnemonics when studying facts: acronyms, coined sayings and image associations
Indrajit Rajtilak Was too lazy to watch the 6 min summary. Let's not talk about the 1hour video. This is great. Thanks.
*THANK YOU KIND SIR*
When we don’t even have time for six minutes so we summarize a summary.
You just summarized a summary 🥳
The summary of the summary
Studying for an exam:
Actual studying - 10%
Watching youtube vids on how to study - 90%
😂😂
Edit: hi guys, I just graduated this month (apr 2022) and I am so happy 😂. Just wanna share with you
lol so true
Hahaha.. exectly..
Tf hahaha
Ya
There must be a support group for us somewhere sheesh
As someone who isn't a native English speaker, I haven't missed a word in your fast-paced speech and it made my day. Your pronunciation is so cool. Thanks for the tips and hope you do this more.
Yeah, I feel it too. I thought it was a common thing, but then I realized it isn't
He's awesome!
Yeah, I'm not a native speaker either and I was surprised that just starting this video he was speaking fast but it was so easy to understand

My notes for this video:
1.) Break up study sessions. Give yourself a reward or pleasant break from studying. (Walk, music, etc)
2.) Use conditioning to your advantage. Set up a dedicated study area so that you know every time you are there your brain goes to "study" mode.
3.) Be an active learner. Focus on concepts, once you understand the real concept behind how something works it sticks with you forever. Stories have meaning. Also be sure not to mix up recollection and recognition. Quiz yourself without a trigger.
4.) Take notes, and do it as soon as possible after learning something. Ask for help if you're not clear on something.
5.) Explain it to someone else, this will help you pinpoint gaps in your own understanding.
6.) Use systems for being a more active reader. Even if you don't use it exactly you can use parts of it. For example reading questions at the end of the book to figure out what is most important.
7.) Use mnemonics to memorize things. Acronyms, coined sayings, and image association. The weirder an image/story is the easier it is to understand.
Thank you sister. May Allah help you in your journey inshaallah
I feel like I should take breaks when I'm studying but whenever I start to relax I feel stressed and start thinking that I should be studying right now.
I have the problem that I can't find a good study space, Since im forced to stay at home, school shut down and now we have education on distance
:(
@@user-jm1do8cs2s look for earbuds, there are really chep ones that cut out high-pitched noises. It helped me a lot when my neighbour's dog and kids were really young XD
I know it doesn't solve everything, but it might be helpfull to you or someone else reading
totally get it, honestly, it'll help if you remind yourself the scientific reasons why you NEED a break :)
@@user-jm1do8cs2s same man :(
I use five colours for notes which enables me to colour the whole sections:
red - vital
orange - supply
yellow - definitions
green - examples
blue - terms
turquoise/purple - headings, names, dates
Hello! This is super helpful! Can I ask what you mean by supply?
@@niamaysing359 like more information to the red parts that isn't that important so that you don't have to highlight everything red. and it doesn't necessarily have to be used with red highlights, i just use it for parts that are important but not as vital as the red ones.
glad it's helpful :)
@@niamaysing359 and sometimes i add light purple for dates if i have a lot of names and dates and need them both so that it's not all in one colour
@@loltadynicneni913 you're an actual gem for clearing this up for me, thank you!!! I've been trying to figure out why my annotations were so unhelpful for the longest. I'm gonna try these out today!
@@niamaysing359 I'm really glad I could help, wish you success! :D
One commenter asked for additional info on image associations, but TH-cam wouldn't let me reply for some reason. So here's what I was going to reply with (in case it helps anyone else):
Say you want to remember that Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark. One possible association: Imagine you're thrown into a lion's den. How do you cope? You pull out a box of Haagen-Dazs ice cream and feed it to the lions, of course.
That picture is completely ridiculous - but your brain actually remembers things better when they're absurd or emotionally evocative. If you can bring that crazy picture to mind, it'll be easy to connect "cope" and "haagen"-dazs with lion's "den". And that should lead your brain right back to the city and country names.
This is pretty much how I learned every Japanese kanji and vocab term I know - the app I used (WaniKani) provides crazy image associations to help connect the kanji with the meaning.
Superb
+Thomas Frank That's how I've continued to remember half the hiragana when I only studied it in Yr7 for half a year back in 2004. Seeing the other half again with their sounds has now reinforced my recall as I've remembered how the sounds related back to the image.
Wow, thank you very much, this is also helpful for me since I also wanted to know more about image associations. Btw, that commenter very likely have disabled replies on his comments, either manually or he set it for every comments.
+Thomas Frank Awesome. I'm not advertising here, but if you're interested in the skill of strong recall and memorization in any area of life, check out Anthony Metivier, he is superb and a true geek (in a good way) on memory techniques. So far I've learned to memorize a randomized deck of cards with his methods within a week!
I watched this video at x2 the speed. I cut a 1 Hr lecture to 6 minute video to 3.
"I never watched the video because it's an hour long and I didn't have time."
Meanwhile here I am watching a 6 minute video on 2x speed and still thinking it's too long.
I feel that A.D.D. 😔
what about reading the comments
When I started college I found you. I went from being a c student to refocusing my energy. I came across you and other TH-cam help and now I’m an A student with pretty good stuff skills. Thank you!
There’s also the great tip about how you can build a study place in a small room (where you also sleep and eat for example, which is not recommended really) - you get a table lamp and only have that for studying. You are not allowed to use it for anything else. My own bonus tip is to use a timer on the lamp. The light goes out? Time for a break! No loud alarm going off, just not enough light. Quit emediatly, it is easier to get back in to it if you are mid sentence (you know what you are going back to).
I also hide my TV under a bed sheet (and put away phone and gaming controll), because it is right in front of the place I study - it does help.
This is actually called the Pomodoro technique. You study for every 25mins and rest for 5-10 minutes. Then after every 5 pomodoros, take a rest for 20-30 mins.
+Thomas Frank
For #3, I agree with the part about facts and concepts. But there's another thing I would add: skills. For example, when you're doing math, there are rarely any facts and the concepts are quite simple. The difficult part is the skill of solving the problems. That's why "studying math" is a horrible idea, rather you should be practicing many math questions to develop the skill.
This is great!! Thank you Tom and I will sure share this video with my students when the school starts!
It's great that some teachers find the time to look for tips for their students. You must be a really good teacher.
I wish my teachers would do this at the beginning of the year 😭. It would save me a lot of time.
Dear math students: PRACTICE RELENTLESSLY!
And computer science.
Same goes to chemistry .😅
@@tenzingobom4748 Organic Chemistry :/
In short everything
actually you dont need to practise a lot in maths as long as you listen to everything in class your good.
Tip #1 - Switch playback speed to 0.75
Thank you Thomas for the work you've put in to make this video, very helpful!
Hi Thomas. I am an educator from India and work for the disadvantaged kids in the Indian Himalayas. I find your videos very useful. Thanks a lot. You are doing great work. All the best :)
you can not imagine how incredibly helpful this was to me
i think this litterally saved my entire exam!🎉
New video! This week, I created a summary of the hour-long "Study Less Study Smart" lecture by Dr. Marty Lobdell.
Essentially, Dr. Lobdell's lecture can be broken down into 7 main tips on studying:
1. Break studying down into chunked sessions
2. Create a dedicated study area
3. Study actively - quiz yourself
4. Take smart notes and expand on them ASAP after class
5. Summarize/teach others what you learn
6. Study your books with SQ3R (I have some thoughts on this)
7. Use mnemonics to study effectively
One of most important points from the lecture had to do with the dangers of highlighting (even if you do it sparingly). I cover that in Tip #3.
How many of these tips were you already using?
I always followed tip #2. I never studied in my room. Went straight to the business/law library, which was always the quietest place on campus.
Caleb Wojcik I occasionally did schoolwork in my room, but when it came to actual studying, I'm right with you. Library all the way - or a good coffee shop.
Oh, and I still use #7 at the grocery store.
A = apples
B = brocoli
C = chips
D = dates!
Caleb Wojcik u can take B= beetroot
C=carrot
Your videos are really helpful. You provide actual tips rather than the usual 'Sit down and do it!' which makes it worth watching from beginning to end. Thanks from a French student who appreciates the help and the effort put in these videos.
I watched this video a while ago, but now that I am watching it again I am realizing how much of this actually helped. I still keep these things in mind while studying. Thank you for this summary and explanation.
The actual vid being an 1 hour is not only packed with tips but is also packed with meaningful concepts motivation and considerate examples stories , to the learner involved in receiving such information .
omg i just discovered your page.... and all I'm thinking is "jackpot!!!!" - thank you so much for this stuff!!! Organization + productivity + videos? I think I'm in love.
the "concepts and facts" advice helped me a lot when studying biology... it took me a while but my grades improved!
I know teaching someone is the best way to learn but no one really wants to listen to a history lesson from me😂
+Jane Wan u can make it funny :)
hahahah same here.imeann nobody is here to listen it😂
I teach to myself.
teach your imaginary friends since pretty much non of my friends are taking the same subjects as me. works everytime
I teach my doll lmao and she listens to all the time without questioning.
All wrapped into one smart sentence."work smart- not hard"...
Seriously though he makes the video super easy to understand a must-watch...
I do this without realizing the theory that you have described. Its good to know that I have the best study and learning habits. Thanks for sharing.
Honestly I've seen this video like 4 times and I always highlight something new.
Thank you Thomas for making life better for all of us students around the world. Greetings from Colombia :)
I watched that entire lecture and I must say, you did it justice in this summary. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks!
Thank you. I could not stand how how he rambled and bragged in that original video. This was excellent.
Good job 👏🏻 you summarized the whole lecture briefly but i still recommend you guys to watch the whole lecture it will never be a waste of time
thanks to you i got an A on the test. Now i graduate from engineer and have high salary
what type of engineering have u done?
+Mohammad Mustafa Definitely not English Engineering.
SPAAAAACE lol
+Mohammad Mustafa Is it possible he's trolling?
+TheShamansQuestion well, with "AN A" he graduated from his engineer school you know lol lol
The first part is a lot like applying the pomodora technique. I use 25 minutes for nearly everything. I quickly jot down my distractions as I go along and deal with that distraction during my 5 minute break.
Bravo, Tom. I've been considering a doctorate program, but I've shied away because my study skills simply aren't strong enough. I loved both the concepts and facts in your video. Thanks for showing me how to "re-sharpen the saw."
It is all about being effective vs efficient. If you study smart, not hard, you will have more time for other important things like family, friends and extracurricular activities
if i had only found ur channel earlier then i'd have better grades rn. ur suppperrrr helpful especially compressing a 1hour vid to 7mins THANKS
Really well done! I actually did listen to Dr. Lobdell's whole talk so I could help some of my students. I didn't take notes the first time through so this recap was wonderful. I think you nailed it! Thanks for your work. I will be sending my students to your site!
My bed is the only study area I can have in the house.
Living room is very noisy.
I know it's hard to study in bed because unconsciously my mind telling me to go to rest but i did try to stop it.
Thanks for the advice. :)
And you are an angel despite the fact that i did watch the whole hour long Dr. Lobdel's lecture....it was interesting but i lacked full attention and concentration at times...you just did it....thanks Thomas Frank...long live
I love your fast pace. It saves so much time and no need to change the video speed.
great video! Thanks to Allah, I found myself applying most of these tips.The one that works best for me in regards of active learning is to teach whatever information I'm trying to stabilize to my freinds...I find it really hard to push myself to study stuff inactively...always try to use fun techniques 😁
I am taking my personal trainer examine to be come certified and the first time i took it i failed! why? Well because I was relocating to california at the time and never had time to study BUT i knew I was going to be issued a second try without paying the $200.00 FEE and had the idea to go in the first time and learn all 120 multiple choice questions so then i know exactly what to study for the second go round! Your video is really helping me on my journey!i found tons of tips online i never thought of and some i did but never applied! I appreciate the time and effort you put in to summerize this video! When i take my test in JUNE i will let you know if i pass! im confident i will... thanks Bro Hammer.
Mario Jones right on! Study hard and pass that test :)
Was about to play Dr.Marty's vid with speed setting in 2 but then I found this..
Thaaaanks :)
guys i would also watch the real lecture not only is it interesting but the way that he tells you is a lot more valuable and it changed my results hugely
Listening to Dr. Lobdell is scarier than studying for 5 minutes. Your video is short and effective.👍👍👍
Finally I find best TH-camr. 12/11/15
All what you've just said Thomas is extremely accurate and proven to be effective! On top of that you are really fun to watch too :)
I love it when people talk this fast. I get really impatient when people use unclear words and beat around the bush. straight to the point! good job
My best 2 tips? Hand-write don't type! Studies everywhere prove this provides better retention and then only write on the front side of the paper. Not only is this backed by science (the less you wrestle the less you lose focus and I'm the type to always get distracted with what I can see through the paper or what looks sloppy) but later when you review your notes you have the back of the sheet next to the page you're reviewing to expound on your notes.
BRAVO! Great distillation/condensation. Although this engaging six-minute presentation is more time-efficient as far as viewing time goes, you will walk away with less to fall back on and, worse, armed now with a list of important steps that you may little appreciate and soon forget. I recommend watching Lobdell’s lecture first and then watching this a few months later to see if your progress has improved and which items on the list (most of which you will have forgotten already) you tried out. Some will work. Others won’t. It’s always nice to be provided with some of supportive remarks for important pieces of advice. The support puts meat on the substance. Hell, it’s only a one-time-once talk. Invest an hour with Lobdell first.
this is probably going to be the first TH-cam video that seems very helpful
Priscilla Lozada especially with the comments!!
Priscilla Lozada thanks! I'm glad you found it useful :)
Thank you so much for your videos, i m having my exam session in a month and one of my morning routine is watch one of your videos for breakfast ( sounds weird :p ) to enhance my motivation to study :D Looking forward for new vids !
IoaFanny that's awesome! Whatever works :) - I've got several videos that I'll revisit from time to time for motivation.
This was great mate. I really appreciate what you do and share. Thanks! I commend you on speaking and presenting the info in a manner that was very concise and not to mention rapid and clear as. I don't have much time and browsing youtube for ideas and tips already is time consuming enough. I noticed you you never ever said the word um or uh...wow!
Good on ya!
ArchaeoAngel glad you enjoyed it! This is probably the most tightly-edited video I've done so far, as I set a goal for how long I wanted it to be. You'll probably see vocal pauses crop up on other videos ;)
I love the fact you talk fast. Saves time. Finally found someone talking something useful and fast
2019 anyone? 🤣
your summary was extremely helpful btw !
lets goooo
👋🏽💪🏽
we're here
2020!
2020 the time of the plug lol
Your videos are BRILLIANT ! Thankyouuuu
Renee Grinyer glad you're finding them useful! Thank you :)
I can't thank you enough for your kindness so I just left a like, subscribed, and commented! :)
I would still suggest watching the entire 60 min long video, it is fun and you will not be bored. It was quite helpful.
I have been learning this way since childhood. Breaking it into chunks. Learnt periodic table through acronyms. Learnt japanese and french through mnemonics or SRS, the vocab part only. And yes teaching can actually teach one.
So basically why I am failing is because I don't actively study. Hmm, I don't think I can ever recover
Cyber SharK we all feel you
Cyber SharK we all feel you
giving up is not an option
So you're basically trying to recall information rather than recognize the information. The better you're able to recall, the better chance to ACE. GOT IT MASTER FRANK.
Him: You've probably seen THIS video around.
Me: looks at "Up Next" on Autoplay
Up Next: Marty Lobdell - Study Less Study Smart
The first time to get back with a good idea for me and I will have the right direction to take care about is the best way to get the chance to talk with english thanks for the video best wishes to you
I'm always impressed by the clarity of these videos and the open window into the good habits that allowed them to come to light.
I did read somewhere* that the 'dedicated study area' point should be qualified. No doubt it's a good idea to have a place that really works well for study - free of distraction, etc. - but don't make it the *only* place where you revise. This conclusion came from studies which concluded that the brain will subconsciously assess how general a learning task needs to be. If you study the same thing in many places, the brain will encode it for general retrieval (recollection). If you study it in only one place, that may well be the only place you'll reliably recall it! [* I admit having no source is poor scholarship!]
I love how he’s got steam open whilst talking about studying😂
Me gusta que habla muy rápido así puedo practicar la concentración al escucharte
Can someone make a summary for this 6 minute video?
Alaa Mukhtar challenge: put it on Vine
Challenge accepted :D
vine.co/v/eZhKlWngmA6
Alaa Mukhtar haha yes! This is awesome. Tweeted it.
Alaa Mukhtar impressive
Thanks :D
I watched the real seminar just now and it's awesome. You should really go check it out!
I remember 1 lecturer saying, "that the reward is important." Sometimes I forget about the reward after I spend sometime studying. Hope you are well, I have watched your videos before you see like an intelligent, caring person.
If you've spent any time at all on TH-cam looking for study advice, you're not really studying. lol
how dare you
😂😂😂 Nice one.
we are preparing and it's really worth it
kyobotte that's true 😂😂😂
It's called sharpening the saw.
Hey,
Ok this video was quite helpful though i have one major problem, i tend to lose my focus easily. im the mutable type. my brain tends to think about a lot of things at a time. Lets say we are talking about digestion in some weird way i may end up thinking something completely weird like trains that can float on water
how can i focus at the task at hand
H Exordiac have the same problem here !
Train your concentration. Same as the 25 mintues of work / 5 minutes of rest, but with only 5 minutes of work at the beginning. And work actively, it will make you passionate and more easily concentrated ! Like walking, saying what you learn... It is tiring but definitely efficient.
H Exordiac I would suggest visualising what some one is speaking.e.g if some one is speaking about digestion train your brain to immediately visualize what the other person is saying e.g here imagine a oesophagus connnecting mouth to stomach and get the idea.You can then focus better...
Arijit Biswas ive tried that... this is exactly what end up happening...
Me'links digestion to something like what i ate last night...
Ive basically finished exams... i was watching such videos... b4 my finals.. im waiti.g for my results T.T
I am like that too! but I have a piece of paper beside me and jot down irrelevant ideas I have or stuff like 'oh yeah I need to buy milk later', 'I wonder what my friend is doing'.... so it means I won't forget and will get back to it after my 30mins study time is up (i set a timer). it works!
Hello Thomas,
You prolly won’t see this but I am Reed Howard lobdell my father is Marty Lobdell’s son and I was just going to tell you this and irl he is really nice and he loves hunting that’s all. From.Reed lobdell a.k.a Marty Lobdell’s grand son
You're such a legend! I saw that video so many times and had the same excuse wishing someone would sum it up in a shorter video!
I really appreciated being able to get this info so fast. Prof. Lobdell's poor lecture has been sitting in my watch later playlist for so long. Thanks you so much for making this!
I've made so many mnemonics now, I'm confused which one stands for what😂😂
Dude, how can you talk that fast? Haha Great video.
found the 0.75 speed useful
Lol I'm sitting here watching it on 1.75 speed XD
@@ColoredMud Me too.
I watch all his videos at 1.5x speed if not more, just to save some time lol
it's creepy how youtube knew exactly what i needed at this moment
Ditto
These videos actually makes feel good for anytime I take break because of how he stresses they are important.
I watched the lecture a while ago and this video is really good he actually said all the important points. I was relieved when I found because I didn’t want to watch the lecture again😅
This guy can rap
Who else watching this instead of studying 😂
me lmao
I am
A nerd...
Mee :/
Studying and sexy just go together
Bro legit question I've had on my mind since school: does fapping after studying help either with retention of the knowledge or with how well you study in future study sessions?
The video was very helpful and I learned a new way study and take notes.
Your book immensely helps me to do smart studies...thanks bro...God bless you❤️❤️❤️
2:40 - "Do a barrel roll" XD
Are these tips and the channel in general also good for, say, middle school or high school?
+Netta Asher yep! Pretty much any video I do on improving your ability to learn will be applicable to people at any level. Other videos might be specifically for university students (e.g. the one on dropping classes, graduating on time, etc), but I'd say at least 75% of the channel is for anybody who wants to learn/study/work better.
I'm sure this is just general learning regardless of school related. Remember, education has nothing to do with "school" or the education system itself. But learning in all areas of life is consider educating yourself.
They're in school and have brains coupled with raging hormones so yes it is suitable for middle and high school students.
How to focus study with a broken heart?
+max aaron I can't, murdering is a criminal in our country
+max aaron lol
+Ralph Ng U need to go to the doctor and fix ur heart NOW.
Get over it
Create a study goal and steps, timetable, hve motivation on it, there4 u can only focus on ur object ! :)
I do a lot of this, but intuitively, so it's nice to have this as practical, constructive advice to pull from whenever my intuition is blocked.
i like the active studying and image association. I find it helps me a lot to remember what I studied
I'm gonna wait for someone to make an even more compact 1 minute brief on your six minute summary of Dr. Lobdell's 60 minute lecture
didn't bother watching this but i'll give a thumbs up because of the fucking amazing megaman & zero posters
elgato9o fair enough ;)
The problem is my room is literally 10 square meters and I can't have a separate area to study in there so my sofa is right next to my desk and I always end up "studying" on my sofa. I can't focus at all lmao.
I liked the idea of making notes after the lecture. This is an unusual thing to do, and would involve a different frame of mind. Thanks.
Love the 20-30 minute chunks, like the pomodoro method which I've found really effective! I always have to study at the library, if I'm anywhere near my bed it's game over! Great video Thomas, enjoyed it!
If you've spent any time at all on TH-cam looking for study advice, you're not really studying.
And I have a hunch you are procrastinating right now, just like me.
Do you have any tips on how to study/memorize images & their painter? I'm taking a modern art class and though I'll recognize paintings, I have difficulty recalling their title and painter (probably because a lot of them are French). I would appreciate it so much! Thanks!
+Clarissa Cano flash cards and mnemonics! I helped my girlfriend go through flashcards all the time when she was taking art history. Use a spaced repetition system to get the most value out of them. Also, take some time to try to develop mental associations (mnemonics) between elements of the paintings and their artists.
Clarissa Cano find the paintings online and then make them really small and print them cut all of them out and then put the name and title at the back and use it like flashcards. Look at the painting then turn it around to see if you got it right
"do a barrel roll"
Hahahahahaha Now we know what distracts you when you're trying to work at putting a video out.
