I find English speaking people are extremely sensitive when being interrupted and often take it personally. There are many cultures out there are perfectly fine about being interrupted in a good faith manner. I think this girl was very keen to learn, and also quick to digest and provide feedback by asking more questions. She was not rude or loud or taking irrelevant things. That's how you SHOULD learn, instead just quietly follow without critical thinking. Remembering there is a thing called fleeting thoughts, if you wait for someone to finish, you might have forgotten about the thought by then which you can never get back.
It is the culture behind some speakers hehehe.
@@Applecitylightkiwiain’t no way bro
I wouldn't say it's cultural, we are just too exposed to native English speakers online so it gives the illusion of a pattern. I don't think Justin found it bad, you can notice how he tries to reframe and clarify when she "interrupts" him, he is paying attention and he has the experience to know what needs to be clarified without wasting time hearing her.
It is a difficult process to understand and she wanted to clarify the point Justin was making before moving forward. All she wanted was to be sure she understood Justin’s explanations.
I love how she didn't get shy of annoying Justin and asked questions again and again until she understood it.
True i sensed that too me I may have went ahead and just shut down and been like bye mf lol but it's important to also see ppl working through obvious frustration on both ends really lol it's hard being a teacher
@@jade1655 Then u can't be a teacher her questions were valid to understand the process otherwise it's the same he teaches on utube what's the difference, she asked the that's why it's more clear video
It wasn't at all annoying, she made it more clearer to understand for us also
@@AD-hs9su Mr Rene used "annoying Justin" in a positive way, like a kid would pester you with questions. It does get annoying at some point but asking questions is good.
@@oz_jones why are you saying that to me i literally said it is good that she's asking questions are you crazy
A very informative and in-depth video, Justin!
It goes in depth in not only the thought process but the mechanics behind mind mapping! I loved the questions that you asked the student as well. They were tailored to whatever they were saying, which made the solutions even more meaningful.
Can you do a video on how to study anatomy
Stop stealing shit from him then
She wasn't purposely interrupting. She was excited to learn about improving her learning ability. Also most video calls have delay, but either way if all you got out of the video was that, then you definitely were not paying attention.
obviously. you cant purposfully interrupt unless your being an asshole, but you can control your excitement until the teacher finished their explanation
@danielxd3804 what's your point? Keep you're low level iq questions to yourself. Curiosity is the main driver of learning, something that shouldn't be snubbed out by an arrogant individual like yourself. Go pick up a book and educate yourself instead.
Justin literally changed my acedemic life forever...
Thank you man
You are the only person that can change your academic life!
And that is by taking action!
@@JustinSung mind I ask, like on th way to learning more and more concepts, and then grouping and chunking along the way, like this feels like it is building lower level details up to higher level in contrast to what u said, so say I start with the highest, broad topic on the subject, build a chunk and now moving to lower levels, how do I connect them level to level wise? I can understand if theres like I think its can be called connector/shared concepts between levels, but what if theres none, and I dont really believe that an purely intuitive connection but hard to explain it can allow these connections to the bigger picture

Thank you so much for building the step-by-step system and processes, Doc Justin! You are truly a GENIUS!
@@hackerbrinelam5381 Hi, I’m not Justin but I’ll try to answer your question. If you experienced Justin’s method and still feel like your method is more effective then use the one that works best for you. About connecting concepts, there are certain things that doesn’t have relationships to each other, in that case, I would just do 2 separate mindmaps or put some of the information into flashcards.
this girl being a good, challenging student for Justin 😂 most of the world is this confused, so im glad we tackled this issue of fear/imagination in order to study a completely different way than we ever had before. this is a true breakthrough case, yall! this is how you use logic to tackle something youve never done before, and therefore to tackle these fears.
ok
This is exactly where I'm at!! I'm constantly getting overwhelmed because I try to get too much into detail because I think it will help me understand more, but then it just keeps going on and on and then I give up. I also feel like I can't group concepts into words that sum it up correctly. This video was so helpful!!!
I’m exactly the same.. doing cybersecurity and the concepts and theory.. it’s a lot and feels like I’m wasting time when reading.
The points on becoming overwhelmed by uncertainty for new information was great idea for life. Don't put off experimentation by trying to find more methods or material to help you, once you get a jist for how something works, try it out knowing you very well may fail but will learn because of it.
I really loved this content. She asked great questions I’m sure a lot of people could relate. You could literally see her fear building up when she had to explain the steps, because of her self doubt if she was doing it right. I can totally relate. I would definitely love to watch more content like this.
Her "interruption" was a cue for Justin to know he needed to reframe or clarify his points. This is completely normal and it's better than listening quietly when you stopped understanding half way through.
This clarified the mind mapping concept and getting overwhelmed. Don’t focus on the details in the first nor second reading. Grouping related processes and ideas together when you start to feel overwhelmed with information by SIMPLIFYING. Thank you Justin for this video example.
I love these types of videos. I'm a struggling college student and no matter how much I put time into studying, I don't get any result for my efforts to show. But watching these interview type videos, I think I'm starting to get it. These videos help me a lot with understanding what I do wrong. Please do more of these!
2 more videos coming in the next few weeks my friend, stay tuned!

I love your normal/scripted videos and these live sessions I love even more. Your content was a game changer for me.
You are a blessing to the academic community, thank you Dr. Sung!🙏
Please do more of these videos with your students, they're so helpful because their struggles are often mine too and even if they're not I can still learn things
Thanks for sharing, it clarified some of my own doubts, I can definitely relate to her own experiences with this technique. These live sessions I think add that extra dimension that many of your videos are missing, which is having someone in almost the same position to ours and seeing how you would work through and hopefully solve these issues in real time. This is very valuable and I hope you'll keep putting these live sessions up! 😉
Really appreciate this kind of content! So insightful. Thank you for this weekly gifts
You're so welcome!
Excellent video, I felt very identified with her in so many questions and emotions, but Justin knew how to listen and properly guided her through the conversation switching from the structure of a well map making to the psychology of learning and self evaluation, they were both great.
this was a really great episode. i will rewatch it. my biggest issue is fear/anxiety and while i'm aware of my maladaptive coping mechanisms, i struggle to move forward and think in the solution and do trial and error.
Many thanks for sharing your powerful insights Justin. Every video helps me to develop the guidance I can give to my students.
My all-time favourite TH-camr!
Thanks for the kind comment my friend!!
i feel so lucky youtube algo landed me here, i needed this video more then anything right now, thankyou sir you solved my biggest problem and i was so surprised the way solved her problem and actively listening to her and pointed her mistakes and more over you are doing it for free, wow you are a gem sir, May god bless you with success and happiness.
I found it helpful to group and simplify with a purpose. When I encode with an application in mind, it helps me center the mindmap around something that's relevant to me. Happy studying everyone!
Please sir keep these coming. Really appreciate it.
2 more on their way
great explanation by Dr Justin and kudos to Ada for being honest enough to keep asking questions. helped the rest of the world too through this video
I am also having the issue of being overwhelmed. But this video helps me understand how to create a better and simple mind map.
Hi! You are my role model.
Thanks Justin for recording these sessions as they have been really helpful for me :)
Thanks for putting this stuff out there. I'm not an academic, but I've been interested in applying this way of thinking and notetaking to my art studies and hobbies such as D&D, making mind maps for adventures and designs. I've also been thinking of how I can apply the principles of non-linear thinking to how I approach my drawing method (scoping, mapping out the keys of the composition, and constatnly stepping back to look at the whole of the drawing as I draw out each element). I don't think I quite understand what I'm doing yet, just faking it till I make it. Still. I find all this pretty exciting to explore, and appreciate videos like this that show examples. I think I'd like to see videos where each node and connection is explained out. Thanks!
Thanks for giving this for free Justin
23:55 & 26:46 actually is the best resource on internet right now. bro you are good like i can't even say any words for it... I'm in construction management before and this is how i explain it to my team mates and for many times they can't understand or even don't care about what i just explain. In my public impromptu speaking I'm not going to present a meeting Not until i have that certain "Keyword" on the certain topic that i will present to my listeners. The way to explain this method is just totally makes sense. This ALL goes literally to everything and in any discipline that has something to do with LEARNING. Thank you.
really like the coaching sessions. a lot of the questions i have seem to come up from the other learners, too
You can do it! ❤
Well then, i was gonna join your course eventully when i could afford it. Now as i am grateful for you putting out alot clearer how to do these things I will Definitly save up and join :)
ahhh thank you so much i was struggling with the same things!
Thank for the free content
No worries thanks for the comment, there is a few more consultations coming on the channel in the coming weeks.
More of this type of coaching please.
Great vid as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
Me gusta la explicacion de tomat las palabras vlave de lo que estemos estudiando y agrupatlas para que tengan sentido. Y no tomar mas de 20 palabras clave para no sobrecargarnos. Con estas palabras construimos un mapa de relaciones. Esto aplica para principiantes
Love the content!
I am your new subscriber... Love your content❤
Limited key words
Group/chunking
Zoom in and zoom out
I noticed that I adapted to these techniques very fast , I don't know if I am smart or I did everything wrong , but everything is working perfectly
So helpful !
Glad you think so!
thank you for that
Give this man his well deserved views, TH-cam!
Thanks for the comment friend!
is this really free?!! THANK YOU, Justin.❤

Thanks
I really appreciate this content, it is helping me a lot on learning how to mindmap, so thank you! I wanted to ask about dealing with the fear of forgetting the information inside the groups after simplifying, should you put them inside a flashcard (even though that would mean having a lot of flashcards) or just trust that i will remember the details inside the groups?
One thing I haven't heard Justin talk about is the scope of mind maps.
For example, I have a 300 page economics textbook.
Should I have a top level mind map that links the most fundamental relationships, then separate mind maps for more granular concepts?
Or would the goal really be to have one mind map for the whole book, with the ancillary relationships just a lot smaller in size and emphasis?
Clarification on this would be great.
@@joaofrancisconogueira7755From what I've gleaned since, he talks about layers, broad first, then you progress down the layers into detail.
So the way this is working for me is: go through whole book, scan tocs: get the most general concepts. (I just flicked through each section taking keywords from the section, chapter and the main headings within each chapter.
He says to make a keyword list and then group, but on my infinite canvas I found it easier to just jot down a tree of the relationships (and anything interesting thoughts I happen to have). Larger writing for sections subsections, smaller for chapters, smaller for headings, all laid out in space, separate trees.
So broadest level first, take the keywords of the sections, group them into just a small number of groups, then attempt a simple mind map relation between them. If all makes sense (which it may not necessarily) then you have completed the broadest layer.
From there I would grab and group the subsections and chapter name keywords, try and group, and now you are trying to add them into the broad level mind map, which forces you not just to relate these new groups to each other, but to the more broader concepts. No doubt reshuffling of groups may be needed until all the relationships make sense again with this added detail.
And on to the more granular keywords.
At each stage you find you have to rework groups, but it should always be from broadest downward. In terms of content, from whole book perspective, to section and downward. And depending on the subject /book,, yes it could well be one mind map. The point is ( and I've found this already), that as you go down through each layer you already have a model of where any new thing you read fits in.
I think both can be very helpful
THIS IS I NEED😮😮
this video actually made sense for me
Can you please summarize it for me? 'Cause I didn't understand anything
Hi, love your vids, Would appreciate if you made your next vid on how to study maths
Totally agree!!
Thanks for the idea!
Very interesting advice....I was trying to help a student at 'first contact' with a journal article (peer-reviewed research article)...they were struggling understanding it and was trying MM.
Your advice might suggest that an article like this is too focused to get that broad sweep ....but perhaps it can seed a broader understanding?
Also, your advice might suggest it useful - in this case at least - that the student read the whole article first and THEN start drawing, refine, expand, simplify, and iterate. I think what they are describing is trying to draw from reading the introduction and then just adding stuff until he finishes the conclusion, trying to make the connections on the page as they read. This seems to stop them grouping (and also seems to be taking them a lot longer than they want)
Would love to see/hear how computer science students applying these skills? Great session ❤
Yeah, I would love to see that as well
this was useful
Glad it helped my friend : )
At first I thought she was at Technique Training level or Briefing. I'm impressed she was at Fundamentals 1!
Me too
Hey.. ur videos are just amazing❤ and so helpful.. could u plz make videos on how to study political science
these are helpful
A few more coming in the next few weeks : )
@@JustinSung awesome
Great
Please make video on how to learn in layers.
Thank you big time, Justin! Could you please suggest any books for further understanding?
from watching roughly the 3rd time,
i reckon her problem , is basically , understanding the following :
1) the mind map isnt a [ fixed, be done with it ] , its constantly required to be changed and re-arranged, hence the map of mind there will always be variables
2) the need for [ labels ] and questions,
the psychological aspect of it will then become : im writng, therefore everything is important [ which is true, if its something new or to recall later on, but we actually, shortcut later on naturally ]
it may be beneficial for folks like her, even myself, to use a zettel system or smaller different pages for [ sub-mind map]
e.g if the main topic of the main mind map is [ building muscles ]
then under there, to be on different ppt / digital mind map/ html file etc, that becomes. [ sub-cat of Building Muscles] --> [ protein levels and nitrogen relation ]
from there,
using our own Default Mode Network later on, to just briefly write questions , which is brought up by justin, e.g [ Summary of this, what can it be recalled and chunk ? ]
write it next to the sub-cat mind map, and leave it open, and force a later on , a [ spaced re-summery and query free recall ] , via the Task Positive Network, which is our concious.
by swinging between rest, pause, questions, and. then [ try, effort] --> to recall the each and every sub-mind map
3) Lastly , for keywords, is to jot ALL down, first then ask, in generally, can it be simplified into a few words ?
make it as a game, akin to a AI-GPT summary, to quick sum up lengthy irrelvant words out from online courses or news [ as a reader, they're filler words to have a flow of the story, and to provide facts and opinions ]
that, in a way, if people can try and treat their own brain, as a AI-GPT like summerising machine, to free recall from the concepts and then down to the very sub details, it will basically be leading to what Justin Sung's ideal Mind Map Chunking, using pictures or relation flow,
there will be a flow, just not as easy [ which is good thing for brain to work out and retain ] to develop, and once you have those chunking / grouping/ labelling/ summery / etc down,
almost any situation or topic or idea or knowledge can be learned
importantly, i guess she is still uncomfortable with the unknown, which we are all, in regards to relaying on such [ simple yet harsh and brutally enlightening way of learning ]
By writing down all the keywords, do you mean those of the whole subject to be studied or would it be better to first write down the most general ones of the subject and then go deeper and deeper?
@@valeriasanchez93i don't really know cuz i wasn't the one who write this text but i think the second one is the one he's talking about. Anyway, you could get an idea of what to do in the previous video (study with me with instructions) of this youtube channel in the first three fragments
@@valeriasanchez93
in my own understanding and not from Dr Justin's , what i can derived from :
e.g learning a new language
theres location, food etc
within those, theres sub-categories, [ location --> Vietnam --> Hanoi --> Phu Ly ] etc
if everything seems important, at least from my interpretation and from watching videos from Justin and other TH-camrs ,
its to ask, can all those keywords, be sorted accordingly ? and then group into one big Key word and summery ?
for the above vietnam location, can it be grouped by Provicience or by Northern Vietnam Southern, and then branch off ? Which one makes more sense
Keywords, are just a sort of mini-flash card for linking, what you have understood and learned, to trigger your memories , so as to recall effectively when revising, or for this video's example, the lady's over zeaously keywords addon, is to [ Konmari Kondo it ]
and allot the subconcious brain to sort things out later on
and yes, its ever changing, meaning, there will be ver1 to 999th, to ensure you, yourself, understand from a sheer glance of the mapping, what it means. Hence Justin's older videos makes alot of sense if you link it back and rewatch them
Deep encoding is important as mentioned from Justin and others, but [ correct encoding and deeper understanding ] needs to be practise and with supervised proper if its new,
however it can be also self tested, via [ Dr benjamin Keep and others ], free active recall , with pre-determined questions for later systematic recall, on the purpose of the map and why those keypoints are there to elaborate.
someone else might be able †o further condense and simplify what im trying to say here, which taking effort , to condense something that can be expended when questioning or recalling, is the best way to ensure one understood the mapping and keyword chunking
@@Siniorus yup , its all linked

iCanStudy recent back to process of uploading
Jim kwik's study methods,
Then theres Ultralearning as well.
for anyone who find my comment, remember that mind mapping is almost one of the major pillars of learning, there are other factors as well regarding effective and understanding of different things.
do not limit, but label and understand where the limitations are at the moment, and push further in processing your thoughts
that i think, in response to what Justin and Benjamin keep and other online coaches does, is the reason why emotional, effortful, memoriable events and life/death/ flow moment can be always recalled in exact details
Just to reply back for most folks to see,
what @TubodePVC2000 has mentioned,
other channels,
from iCanstudy to Dr Benjamin Keep,
go through other channels like Jim kwik's , Ryan Dori's flow etc will provide even broad [ puzzle over view, scaffolding of a huge building ]
above all, not to feel fear of failure, because as the brillance of a saying, we merely found out what 99 things that dont work.
Accelerating learning and other aspect of your learning life
p.s , giving Ultralearning a go, and a read is a must,
Hey Justin, your work is fantastic! I just subscribed to a mind mapping/flowcharting software to help me learn a Platform to which I have a membership. It's a new business I have started in the digital marketing space. My challenge is learning how to use software applications to build a marketing business. The platform does not require coding; however, it requires a sound understanding of domains, subdomains, trigger workflows, AI plug-ins, creating content, dealing with Google ads and reviews, and so on...My Questions are: after you group the concepts, how do you think to simplify the idea. My motivation for the Mindmapping systems is specifically for me to learn about the platform as quick as possiable.
Can you do a serie of video where you do a mind map for each subject (History, Math, Physics,…) for having exemple of how you do mind map please?
Hi Justin, thanks for the amazingly helpful videos.
Quick Question: In general, would you say a person's system of learning is efficient if they can read and mindmap and retain most of the important points they read in the first go ? (Given that there was no way to review the summary of the content before first reading). Or is it normal to go through some content 2-3 times to have fully connected and highly retained content in your brain?
Also, is it recommended to go through the spaced repetition or would it be beneficial to go through the content twice in first go ?
Thanks for sharing. How can i not go into details right away when textbooks are designed that way? Do i read the paragraph twice? The first time i decide what's a detail so what's to ignore and when i have understood the basics from other paragraphs i go back for those details?
Hi Justin! How can I improve my presentation? Like, how can I practice talking? Should I memorize the map ?
Very nice and courageous! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Hi Justing,can you give me steps to be good at study,academic processes.I mean,what should I start with?learning how to memorize or how to focus .......,you have lots of vides,give me adequate sequences of watching your vides.I think you got me
When you're forming a chunk (that's made out of smaller parts) like in 6:00, do you erase these smaller parts or do you just sort of circle them, write the more general concept on top and leave the details inside?
I'm also wondering this bec if you erase smaller parts they are literally gone
do we relate words that can potentially be grouped together or do we relate each and every word together with each other once we have our list?
❤❤❤
What tripped me up a bit was the list of keywords.
As far as I understood it in the end, it's not a literal list you write, but words you collect directly in your mind map.
And when you finished adding that level, you try to go deeper until it is too complicated or the mind map starts to get messy.
Then you pause, rearrange the mind map, group items together and continue.
I would be overwhelmed as well if I would just collect a list of words from a text and then afterwards would try to add them all at once to the mind map.
Hi Andrea, so you are saying that we should collect just the keywords that make sense for us and gradually add more ? Thank you
@@johnryan2319 At least that's how I understood it. Collect the keywords you understand, connect them to each other, try to understand more of the big picture and then one by one it's probably possible to extend the mind map with additional words.
Please make a video on how to collect important keywords, if we don't know anything about a topic because while scoping we don't read anything, we just look for keywords. Or should we read a little bit to know enough about the keyword?
should i allow for various "colored glasses" of mindmaps- in my psych class about learning,motivation and behavior i could group by internal vs external processes, or based on time: born with ,learned, intentioned and future goals or based on brain correlates vs theories or even proactive vs reactive
Hello Justin! I hope you're doing well. There's something I don't quite understand in the study method you recently taught. In the evaluation stage, you suggest using the question: "How does this relate to other concepts?" to learn and then fit it into the big picture. My question is: Do I have to reason and try to find the answer using my own material, or can I use ChatGPT? I'm not sure if reasoning it on my own is better :/.
I dare you to do a mindmap on everything about heart failure as a medical student (its a challenging topic)
I dare you to do it first 😝
Can you please make a video on how to relate information to eachother
I sort of relate to her mental blocker. I’m a bit confused on how we reintroduce the details (just started briefing for context). As we group and simplify our mind map continually, we refine our big picture understanding. The act of simplifying reinforces the keywords “lost” in the process. Are the details captured again when we do revision?
Yes it's annoying to delete details
@@thebgEntertainment1 Fear of forgetting is definitely one of the biggest mental blockers. Definitely would like to get some feedback on this
00:01 Use mind mapping to simplify and avoid overload
01:58 Enhance mind mapping by creating connections between concepts
06:07 Focus on simplifying and grouping concepts to prevent cognitive overload

19:42 Focus on strong high-level and mid-level understanding during initial study.
23:30 Upgrade mind mapping process step by step
25:21 Focus on experimentation over gathering more information
Use mind mapping to simplify and avoid overload
- Review the map and simplify when feeling overwhelmed
- Consider joining the full study program for coaching and support
Enhance mind mapping by creating connections between concepts
- Focus on creating relationships between concepts rather than just taking notes
- Visualize concepts in a structured way by adding arrows and expanding the map
Focus on simplifying and grouping concepts to prevent cognitive overload
- Collect keywords to build a backbone and schema for organizing information
- Create groups and simplify the information to lower mental effort and prevent overload
Collect keywords first and then move on to mapping
- Collecting keywords before mind mapping allows for better organization of information
- Simplify and group information before moving on to the next level of detail
Using the right technique in learning can prevent overload
- It's overwhelming at first, but becomes easier as you learn the technique
- Traditional methods lead to wasted time and ineffective learning
Simplify information as you go
- Continuously integrate concepts with the big picture to avoid feeling overwhelmed
- Find ways to make detailed and technical information more relevant and connected to the big picture
Improve mind mapping by simplifying and grouping information
- - Focus on one big picture at a time
- - Pause to process, simplify, group, and connect information to avoid feeling overwhelmed
Focus on strong high-level and mid-level understanding during initial study.
- Avoid focusing too much on random low-level details during first study session.
- Strong high-level understanding helps in easier revision of low-level details later.
Upgrade mind mapping process step by step
- Collect list of keywords for the whole topic
- Create a smaller list of keywords to simplify and connect during mapping process
Focus on experimentation over gathering more information
- The key to progress is through experiment and practice
- Overthinking and seeking more information can lead to decreased certainty and hinder improvement
Does mapping it out means to find relationships among grpups and prioritizing that relationships among groups?? 23:47
One question I have is on what to make the mind-map on when faced with large topics that has several sub-topics. E.g. I have a class on Property Law and I need to learn the whole topic. But within Property Law there are many sub-topics, e.g. leases vs ownership, chattels vs land. The book will naturally include all of these spread out over the 500 pages. When starting out, would you create a mind-map of Property Law with branches going into each sub-topic (covering all 500 pages) but without detail, or would you create a mind-map of one sub-topic (e.g. 100 pages on ownership).
I would guess doing a mind-map of the entire topic first, then delve deeper into each branch by making a separate mind-map on the sub-topics. But I must admit starting with skimming the entire 500 page book, trying to group and link without actually reading the whole 500 book is hard.
Would you also make mindmaps for anatomical topics?
Can you please do a vedio on how to study anatomy
There's no imagery in these mindmaps. How does this help with memorizing deep and intricate concepts, and clincal reasoning skills?
Can the mental mapping method be used to learn languages? Would you be able to give me an example of how this might work?
sorry if I have mistakes in the sentence, I don't speak English
Which iPad software is best for mind mapping?
This is awesome!
You are awesome
i understand that being able to limit information to its gist is important, but how do you progress from there? sometimes you’re just required to retrieve incredibly detailed information, how would you account for that if you always group together concepts in order to make it less complex even if it is that complex?
It would have been helpful if he had her to do the steps with an actual document...Thank you for sharing .....
Does someone know what tablet he is using for his note taking?
As an Italian guy i got surprised when some of her maps were in italian ahahah
Ok, I get how to make a mindmap so you actively read and remember the information you take note of (like, you understand it), but how would you go about active recall to make sure you actually remember the information long-term instead of like a week? I understand information very easily even without mindmaps, but remember it very badly.
Still miss the pictures from the tony buzan method where i originally learnt about mind mapping and colours often for different grouos or links soo much easier on digital canvas!
Not the best method out there
@terminallucidity I learnt alot with it it was better than trying to write every word the lecturer said I did well in my exams!
