Please make a video on self improvement ( where ever I go try to talk to other I feel left out no one like and sometimes I say and do some wired things and I shouldn't do ) please a video to improve are self so I couldn't feel left out

I'm a teen but my height is 4"8 as 14 year old, please help me out

[@Styx_007]

For personal use
1) do qs instead of just reading the notes. It'll help in active recall
2)only check the notes after trying to solve multiple times with multiple methods
3) Feynman technique, just record what you're studying. Physics, chemistry stuff and listen when you're free.
4) devote majority of your day for question practice
5) repeat your mocks for increasing speed
6) don't loose focus. You must do this rn. So just enjoy, listen to music, treat it like a video game.
Ignore other bs. This should be your only priority.
Don't fuck up.

[@Pookieeeei]

Qs?

[@Pookieeeei]

Oh question

[@anubratamitra225]

[@UnknwnAWKND]

Active recall
- make quizlet or flashcards and "gamify learning"
- Learning curve, knowledge is forgotten unless constantly used
Feynman technique
- Teach information in easy terms to a friend or to no one and record yourself
Spaced repetition
- works well with active recall
- Want to be able to do a "quizlet or homework" 3 times, spread between 3 different days
Priming
- Visualize, close eyes and think why this is important, visualize you knowing the material
- listen to music, my opinion 40hz gamma music, but personal preference is key
- get your brain excited to study
Optimized breaks
- time spent studying doesnt equal material learned
- use naps or nsdr to your advantage

[@sophlovesstrawberries]

Good work Collin! I’ve been watching your videos in the morning before heading off for school and on days I do that I feel so much more productive and I have so much more ideas. I also tend to get a lot of work done on those days. I’ll save this for tomorrow because tomorrow week I have a quiz in a subject I’m not necessarily the best in and I want to make this quiz experience different because I notice I’m big on procrastination with studying. Have a good week everyone!

Fact:- don't listen( lyrical music) songs listen beats

[@WillICode]

Thank you sooo much for thisss, I'll be taking entrance exams in some big colleges. I'll keep in mind all of these techniques and go back here once I pass and ace those exams YAHHHH see yaaah on 2025 ❤️‍🔥 🙌

If you wanna ace your exams, theres only one best thing which is doing practice questions. The reason is your actually doing what youre going to do in test and it makes you more familiar with the questions.
