I rarely comment on videos, and I just stumbled upon this. Before writing this comment, let me first say that I do not know the creator and I did not watch any other videos of her. I have to say this video is golden, and the instructions that are shown in here can be applied to EVERYTHING you want to learn. Because learning how to learn is KEY and more or less the same regardless of the topic. I just want to add a couple things that might help anyone watching this video: - First, understand that learning something takes TIME. You need to get used to spending time on learning things, especially in this era where our attention span gets shorter and shorter due to increased consumption through social media. So before implementing the steps shown on the video, first get used to the fact that it's not going to be a short ride, and the journey is a lot more important than the destination. Do not trust anyone who says "30 days to be job ready", "30 days for X" or "FASTEST way to learn X". The important thing in here is not to be FAST. - Second, everyone's schedule is different. So treat this video as a guidance, and while applying the steps, feel free to change it to your own needs. For example, when I study I do the different topics back to back, instead of scheduling one session in morning and one session after the work. Or sometimes, I change things up a little bit and focus on completely different topics back to back. Adjust your schedule so that it is easy for you to consistently follow. Consistency is key. - Third, after some time you might want to spend all your free time into learning something to learn faster. DO NOT DO THIS. As said in the video, you need to let your brain rest a little bit to allow it to consume the actual knowledge and make it stick. It might sound counterintuitive, but if you do not take a rest in between your learning sessions, you never allow your brain to process the things you studied, and eventually that leads to burnout. This happened to me a couple times, and trust me you DO NOT want to get burnt out during learning. - Finally, know that you can capable of learning anything. During your journey, you will encounter a lot of problems or things that do not make any sense at first. When stuff like these happen, do not let them demotivate you. Especially in tech, get used to being uncomfortable, if you want to improve yourself. If you truly want something, put aside your comfort zone and start grinding. When you arrive at the destination, you will not regret. I say this as a person who started with Frontend (no tech background) then moved to Backend, and now trying to pivot into Cloud.
I'm 3months into my helpdesk position , and I've gotten complacent and lost my fire. Before this job, I studied almost 6hrs a day cuz I was preparing for the comptia cysa+ cert. Now that I haven't studied in months, I've forgotten everything i've learned in ths past 6months after i got my net+ and sec+. HelpDesk is probably a position you never want to get stuck at (HellDesk lol), so i kinda needed to see this video to light that fire i lost, and get back to studying. Thank you so much
Love this video. Found myself burning out while studying for my CCNA certification, realized I was writing my notes verbatim, going to take advice to synthesize my knowledge through other means, thank you for the inspiration!
Glad I found this. Studying, especially with a full-time job AND two kids, can be pretty exhausting. Some days I put a lot of work, some days I don’t care. I know I have to learn A, B, and C, but I end up not doing any studying at all. I think it’s brilliant to have two separate sessions in a day. I’ll try this
These are really good methods, What could make your learning even faster is pick a project and apply what you learn there and complete it. That will solidify it.
Thanks for talking about Barbara Oakley. I watched her Ted talk and am now reading her book: "A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra)". Honestly, watching her lecture and reading the book should be mandatory at least once a year for school aged children. The guidance on how to use one's brain is first rate. I only wish I had it back when I was in school. Now, as long time sysadmin studying for my AWS Cloud Architect exam, I need every tip and motivation I have find to get through this. Thanks GPS!
Thanks i come back to you when i need more realistic expectations or a timeline, seems like everybody is able to pass these certs in a couple months and i have no idea how anyway can retain that amount of information. It really helps, cause IT is so discouraging at times. Appreciate you
I usually don't comment on videos, but thank you for sharing this study routine. I've struggled for years with courses and certifications, feeling like I wasn't learning effectively. This year, starting college has been challenging, and now I need to get my first Google Cloud certification at work. Your video gave me confidence in how to organize my study approach. I'll start applying your technique and hope to update with positive results in a few months.
Yes 2 hours plus a day helps you so much with improving your skills. Did that and passed my finops certification. Now passed Azure and on to AWS. It’s possible
Thank you for the crucial tips! Rn studying SC-900 and leveraging one-note but now have the idea to incorporate a synthesis step. Also where can I get this t-shirt!?
Thanks so much for sharing these type. Regarding synthesising, could making flash cards be considered a form of this? The way I see it is I'm extracting the key info from the notes and putting them into something else to be used for exam prep, and even sharing with everyone else. Plus it acts as a review. I'm a bit shy at the thought of blogging.
I’m uncertain which path to choose-Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, or Data Science. I want to avoid investing time in skills that may not have significant potential by the time I’m job-ready. I’m looking for a field that will be valuable over the next 5-10 years. Academically, it’s going to be a long journey for me, but I’m a creative thinker and enjoy challenging situations. Are these fields still promising, or should I consider other options? Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your strategy. How do you remember everything you studied. Say, for example, you studied Linux and then passed the AWS Solution Architect exam. Now you may have an interview coming up the AWS exam might flash out everything. In my case, that's where I struggle. I feel like I need to study Linux (Just an example) all over again.
@@adnana9906 I totally get this and I personally believe applying the knowledge you've acquired actually helps the knowledge stick. Creating projects or teaching the topic or skill to someone else is really helpful for you (the teacher) as well..
Hi, Great content! I am trying to make into Tech from non-background field. More inclined to go in Cloud computing but confused with Data Engineering/Analyst field. Looking to hear your valuable insights is it still good time to start with Cloud in 2025 with zero experience.

Alright, you are gorgeous with your choice of software consumption and implementation :)
yep GPS is legit... I have been creeping this channel off and on... appreciate you GPS

Hey GPS! You are an inspiration!
glad to help!
Thanks for your constant support and dedication to help other GPS, God will definitely bless you and your family
Going to try this technique myself as I can't seem to get myself to learn anything. Sidenote your camera quality is amazing.
Go for it!
im having my CCSP in 3 weeks and after that going for azure certs to become a cloud/azure expert. This video is a great inspiration and guide :)
One study method that Cal Newport covered on the Andrew Huberman podcast was Active recall which is similar to what you mentioned in session 2
Inspired!, I've got an AZ104 exam to prep for and haven't studied since AZ900 over a year ago
Great video. CS at Uni has been intense and the monotony can get to you. Thanks
Awesome video I have always had trouble procrastinating.
Hi GPS, this is great as it provided me insights on how I can effectively learn. Thanks
Yes 2 hours plus a day helps you so much with improving your skills. Did that and passed my finops certification. Now passed Azure and on to AWS. It’s possible
I have told people for years. You give me 1 to 2 hours a day. There is nothing you cant learn
Thanks for the tips! Gonna use them to study for CISSP
You went hard last night on the Live lol. Thank you for this! I will start documenting my studies today!!
Fire. Love Dr. Oakley
Cool video, I have a friend who is a network engineer who does your part 2 but posts it semi regularly on linkedin.
So so good. 👍🏽
Glad you think so!
Thank you for the crucial tips! Rn studying SC-900 and leveraging one-note but now have the idea to incorporate a synthesis step. Also where can I get this t-shirt!?
Thank you GPS.
Great tips! I will try them and report back.
Please do!
love this!!! thank you!
