I usually trick my brain by saying "this not a hard topic, it's just time consuming. I just need some time to learn this and lucky me, I have a lot of those"
This! Sometimes it's hard to think this way though, school can be fast paced and since you're learning many topics at the same time it can get a bit overwhelming. You don't get to enjoy the process, it's just 'oh fuck oh fuck so many deadlines I gotta do this and that' Self learning is super fun though as you can go at your own pace. You learn better too (:
I look around me and see the people that are doing what ever i want to learn. Then I say to myself, are those people smarter then you? The answer is always no.
"I want to get rich" the simple goal and motivation most of us have but not so many admit. On another note, keep being genuine and funny, that's what made me put notifications on for ALL your videos.
I liked your take on how to approach learning. Also, I related to the part about overcoming the fear of the unknown by just doing it. I can't remember where I read it, but the act of thinking about doing something you want to do satisfies a part of our brains that increases how difficult it is to actually start doing it. I look forward to your next banger of a video
I found your channel quite randomly and damn am I thankful! Finally the algorithm is showing me some refreshingly natural, relatable and enjoyable content! As a hs junior looking forward to studying CS in college, your videos really help mitigate my anxieties about the future, since I see that someone in the field is doing great :) keep up the good workk
That's a valuable lesson for anyone interested getting into tech seriously. Most of the time the wheel is reinvented in tech with slight changes and improvements and anyone implements that new too for building the wheel. I think we never gonna run out of learning.
I was watching your second video and was really pulled in by the content so I went "time to watch more!" And I was met with a singular other video that I hadn't seen. Talk about a surprise! I now have notis on for whatever else you can throw out. Thank you for your time with these. The vids help. Top quality.
For those of you who struggle learning and want to learn more about what Maria is talking (if that's even her name) I recommend reading: "Learning how to learn" AMAZING freaking book
I always ignored your videos when I saw them but I decided to watch this one turns out it was really informative and helpful, u just earned another supporter keep up the good work
Large personal learning projects are always challenging. It can be discouraging to think about ALL of the little things you still have to do to get to some decent state. I often tell myself it's okay to take breaks while I reinvigorate the big picture and how awesome it will be if I ever do get far enough.
Thank you so much for bringing up the FEAR OF AN UNKNOWN FUTURE .... really can relate and wasn't sure if many people feel this way even though the solution is so obvious 🤯 just do it
I always like to compare motivation/learning with machine learning lol. In ML algorithms like Positive Reinforcement Learning are found in Cognitive Psychology. I found it best to do what you say with "Just do it" (which for me comes from confidence of learning many things I thought I never could learn before) along with increments of me rewarding myself for short term goals to maintain long term motivation and success. Love the content keep it up :)
I just realised that your channel is very young and ig it would be a cool information for u that I didn't look for ur videos. It was the youtube algorithm. Must be pretty cool to be on youtubepages of stranger people in germany. Congrats on that. btw you got my follow because good work.
Your video structure, points and editing is really good, love how you cut out pauses to increase retention like how you cut to random scenes, such as when you threw your phone, the perfect amount of times. The music a general style of the presentation also helps a lot. If I had one critique though its probably that the camera focus is a bit iffy, while I don't know that much about cameras but I can suggest trying to manually set the focus if you can and tinkering with that so you are in focus most of the video as opposed to just out of focus the entire time. Really good work on the whole, make sure to keep it up. No wonder you're exploding so soon after starting your channel, its apparent you care about what you are doing to put so much effort into editing videos. It seems your hard work has payed off and earned the algorithm's favour. Best of luck in your future endeavors, TH-cam related or otherwise. - An eager fan
It is so relatable. I have the exact same thought and feelings. Thank you Maria for making this videos! This channel inspires me to keep going on my software career journey and I will get there to where I want to be. I love your videos even there are only a few on this channel but, please make more! Make what ever you like! Just do it!
Hey Maria, I suffer from huge concentration issues and you got my full attention through the whole video. I do remember that a chipmunk killed my whole family. I certainly hope that I can work on my learning skills now :)
I saw you and I thought "we kinda look alike....", so I clicked. Then I saw your video and thought "we're definetly alike". I'm happy I can see young people to whom I can relate to who are starting their journey, so I can healthily compare myself to them and keep me motivated to keep going.
i found your video in suggestions, i like programming stuff, that's why i ended here, i really find this video informative and so funny at the same time. good work 😄
Great video, Me personally I like to watch a video on a topic write it down in my own explanation so when I look but at the note I can remember exactly the way I explained it also I do the Pomodoro technique
the fear part is so incredibly true. i guess i gotta try to just forget about the fear and do the thing, otherwise i'll never get anything done also here before 10k subs
I'm subscribing to your channel. I feel like I can learn a LOT from you, especially since I am thinking about trying my hand at programming. I'm currently a photo and video editor but I feel the desire to take a dip into the waters of programming.
thanks so much Maria :) I'm learning Flutter app development so that I could provide freelance services and earn enough to move out. This video was very helpful and it feels so good that I could relate to you in this struggle for becoming rich
Hi there! Not sure if you're going to read this. But I've watched 3 of your videos and I subbed on both of my accounts. The reason, I really, genuinely enjoyed your content and I think you have a real skill for doing this. I look forward to seeing more videos. I think that a lot of people would enjoy more of your coding project journey videos. I really did, and it gave me some desperately needed inspiration to keep pushing forward. Thank you!! 🥳
I notice some channels balloon up and then plateau for a while at a certain stage. Curious as to what her first plateau level will be. Guessing somewhere between 30-60k
idk if you watched Jarvis Johnson at the beginning of his youtube journey, but you give me much of the same vibe. Great videos! glad you're having fun with it
starting as a compsci/japanese major this year and im really excited(mostly attending for study abroad purposes but also i enjoy academia so yeah gonna pay out of my ass for that later) but also really nervous!! i just found your channel today and watched all 3 vids and they were super funny and enjoyable AND informative :D thanks for creating these vids, u inspire me and make me wanna learn more!!!!
Even though my study methods were considered "not efficient", I mean writing and reading, the retention came through motivation, after working on the nightshift on a factory, pedalling to work in a cold enviroment, swallowing my pride, the desperation to change made me into a studying machine.
wire those Neurons was really interesting, it got me thinking on back when i was teen in Norway and i struggled to do a Ollie on skate board, and over time i got it working and with more time it was getting natural like walking hehe, so its true about neurons but its easy to forget its like that with other skills too, similar with game development, i still struggle with coding but i read code much better, while 3D in 3dsmax is natural for me XD :D Great video :) and yes emotion and goal is important too, also input from progression, eks: you can study a recipe of cakes al day but you progress more if you read or follow recipe and then try to mix the ingredients then bake it then east it, then repeat(al the while the goal is to make a specific cake) you have the Goal, trying progression also smell and taste input, like skating you get hurt alot but some times you get it more and more its like doing Manual you can really get hurt but over time you get doing manual for longer and longer distance, with programming (specific for me doing game making i can see my code make something alive and that gives more motivation), and yes 1 step at a time eks 2h a day every day mon-Friday satureday and sunday 100& free time, for me i often do work for 1-3h spread true out the day then some day s 100% no working other days i might do some more easy working like drawing,etc instead of 3D/texturing/coding. but yes keep phone silent :D
step 1 in regards to your ML learning path from someone who has put in the time with it. Drop tensorflow for pytorch. Saved me so so much agony. Great content!
Also, the thing you said about emotions being a factor in creating and maintaining a good memory, I thought about it too months back and I was very surprised to it in Dr. Joe Dispenza's work "Breaking the Habit of being yourself". P.S. He also says 'neurons that fire together, wire together' bunch of times there btw this was a good video, pretty straightfoward but solid content that everyone needs to be reminded of and that throwing of the phone, it was like looking at a mirror lol
My finals in uni start next week and I've been feeling like the biggest idiot cus I might fail, so this video comes at the best moment possible, thanks
also feyman technique (just condensing your notes to be as layman/simple as possible) is really useful. u basically teach yourself through proxy when trying to simplify a note down to retard-tier level. learning by just doing stuff is also probs just the best way to learn something
literally just watched all your videosss!!! looking forward for moreee! currently in my 2nd semester in freshman year and haha cs is killing me but finding your channel is really helping me remind myself why I'm studying CS. :'>> plus ur hella funny
Machine learning is a really good abstraction how we learn. You throw a lot of data at the brain, watch the outcome, punish them or give them incentives and hope for the best.
The throwing the phone out of your room trick works for focus, until your work place adds all your security access tokens to all your work applications to your phone device and then it can never leave you... ever
Yes, I agree. I used to believe I could not just learn anything. Then I said,, "Well, let's try to learn a programming language and If I can't achieve it, then I can just say I at least tried." And I saw that I could learn!
The truth is the framework of learning is different from person to person. I believe how to discover it is entirely based on you. The biggest thing you can do for yourself is get started and look at it as a day by day routine till you are a year in and see how far you have come. Everything else happens by itself
Hello people of internet. Nice start of greetign.😊. I was thinking while watching your interest in various areas, I had no opportunity of mobile, lap, internet during my college.. Even college didn't provide internet 😂..
Hey, I want to learn to fly too, at some point. It's just that as a broke college student, I feel your pain about the price. Renting an aircraft and instructor for 40+ hours is expensive, who knew? What I _can_ recommend is going to EAA AirVenture, which is coming up in about a month. If you go, bring earplugs. The military jets are loud AF.
I usually trick my brain by saying "this not a hard topic, it's just time consuming. I just need some time to learn this and lucky me, I have a lot of those"
TIME BLINDNESS, ACTIVAAAAAATE!!!
This! Sometimes it's hard to think this way though, school can be fast paced and since you're learning many topics at the same time it can get a bit overwhelming. You don't get to enjoy the process, it's just 'oh fuck oh fuck so many deadlines I gotta do this and that'
Self learning is super fun though as you can go at your own pace. You learn better too (:
I look around me and see the people that are doing what ever i want to learn. Then I say to myself, are those people smarter then you? The answer is always no.
If you can convince your mind, it can literally do impossible things
I want to be able to think like that :( specially the "time" part
My brain is special. It is only functioning at the deadline or one day before the exam.
I wish there were more people like you. Your authenticity is refreshing.
that's what im saying
This channel is going to be huge one day. I hope you continue to upload at a steady rate
I concur.
"I want to get rich" the simple goal and motivation most of us have but not so many admit.
On another note, keep being genuine and funny, that's what made me put notifications on for ALL your videos.
I discovered this channel yesterday and it has been such a gem, thanks for the good topics and your sense of humour
I liked your take on how to approach learning. Also, I related to the part about overcoming the fear of the unknown by just doing it.

so glad i stumbled across this channel, all the topics are just what im interested in and i love it.
i love this channel, very low-key chill and relatable and inspiring.
I was watching your second video and was really pulled in by the content so I went "time to watch more!" And I was met with a singular other video that I hadn't seen. Talk about a surprise! I now have notis on for whatever else you can throw out. Thank you for your time with these. The vids help. Top quality.
i love your desktop background, Leonid Afremov has such a nice style!
Your channel is really good, the way you present your content is relaxed and cozy. Keep up the good work!!
For those of you who struggle learning and want to learn more about what Maria is talking (if that's even her name) I recommend reading: "Learning how to learn" AMAZING freaking book
From Barbara Oakley?
@@Ey_man Yes, that one!
Thanks for the recommendation
Also Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning
I always ignored your videos when I saw them but I decided to watch this one turns out it was really informative and helpful, u just earned another supporter keep up the good work
Very cool video, comedy is on point and very informative. The fear you talked about at the end is so real, I'm definitely going to just do it.
Large personal learning projects are always challenging. It can be discouraging to think about ALL of the little things you still have to do to get to some decent state. I often tell myself it's okay to take breaks while I reinvigorate the big picture and how awesome it will be if I ever do get far enough.
You are me...I want to learn those exact same things...would love to see your progress in the future in your goals!
Thank you so much for bringing up the FEAR OF AN UNKNOWN FUTURE .... really can relate and wasn't sure if many people feel this way even though the solution is so obvious 🤯 just do it
I always like to compare motivation/learning with machine learning lol. In ML algorithms like Positive Reinforcement Learning are found in Cognitive Psychology.

Same but from Canada
Same but from Mexico
Brazil here
Your video structure, points and editing is really good, love how you cut out pauses to increase retention like how you cut to random scenes, such as when you threw your phone, the perfect amount of times. The music a general style of the presentation also helps a lot. If I had one critique though its probably that the camera focus is a bit iffy, while I don't know that much about cameras but I can suggest trying to manually set the focus if you can and tinkering with that so you are in focus most of the video as opposed to just out of focus the entire time.
Really good work on the whole, make sure to keep it up. No wonder you're exploding so soon after starting your channel, its apparent you care about what you are doing to put so much effort into editing videos. It seems your hard work has payed off and earned the algorithm's favour.
Best of luck in your future endeavors, TH-cam related or otherwise.

Hey Maria, I suffer from huge concentration issues and you got my full attention through the whole video. I do remember that a chipmunk killed my whole family. I certainly hope that I can work on my learning skills now :)
I def think this channel is gonna grow. quality content
That's what I actually feel while learning something. Different ways, attitudes to learn. But I found this video very useful.
I saw you and I thought "we kinda look alike....", so I clicked. Then I saw your video and thought "we're definetly alike".
I'm happy I can see young people to whom I can relate to who are starting their journey, so I can healthily compare myself to them and keep me motivated to keep going.
your channel is growing so fast! I really like your videos and i hope you go far!
sister cracked the youtube algorithm 😂😂🔥🔥
i found your video in suggestions, i like programming stuff, that's why i ended here, i really find this video informative and so funny at the same time. good work 😄
Great video, Me personally I like to watch a video on a topic write it down in my own explanation so when I look but at the note I can remember exactly the way I explained it also I do the Pomodoro technique
How does this youtuber have like 8k subscribers with only 3 videos so far, She is so good at explaining everything. keep up the good work!
the fear part is so incredibly true. i guess i gotta try to just forget about the fear and do the thing, otherwise i'll never get anything done
also here before 10k subs
I'm subscribing to your channel. I feel like I can learn a LOT from you, especially since I am thinking about trying my hand at programming. I'm currently a photo and video editor but I feel the desire to take a dip into the waters of programming.
Really enjoying your videos, so glad to see you’re gaining more subscribers. You deserve it, keep going!
congrats for 10k subs .i'm glad to be one of the earliest ones
thanks so much Maria :) I'm learning Flutter app development so that I could provide freelance services and earn enough to move out.
This video was very helpful and it feels so good that I could relate to you in this struggle for becoming rich
Blessed by the algorithm. This was exactly what I needed right now. Thx :)

Found your channel just yesterday, I feel you are going to go a long way with these videos ! :)
Thanks for this video, it truly feels good hearing it out loud even if in our subconscious we all already know this. 🥴
It's already 6+k subs. I bet this channel is gonna be popular
I notice some channels balloon up and then plateau for a while at a certain stage. Curious as to what her first plateau level will be. Guessing somewhere between 30-60k
i love this girl DUDE .
I love your sense of humor. You’re really funny. Great video too btw 👍
love how you just throw memes and phones on your videos. I've loudly wheezed at the brain part
Watched all your videos and you are truly a gem! Can't wait for more girl keep it up you're already on such a great track🙏🏽
idk if you watched Jarvis Johnson at the beginning of his youtube journey, but you give me much of the same vibe. Great videos! glad you're having fun with it

How do you have only 7k subscribers!!!!!!!! You deserve way more
That “are you sure about that” was so good! 😂😂😂
Even though my study methods were considered "not efficient", I mean writing and reading, the retention came through motivation, after working on the nightshift on a factory, pedalling to work in a cold enviroment, swallowing my pride, the desperation to change made me into a studying machine.
your videos are so well made. please keep making more (:
Very helpful video, thanks for making it!
love the channel, best of luck!

You're funny 😂😂 I don't even know which joke to refer here..... Still laughing 🤣🤣

Great editing skills and love the content. Please keep doing what you do. I'll keep watching :)
love you, dear teacher!!
9:40: fear of unknown future. Glad i"m not the only one. Learning productivity drops when it catches me.
My finals in uni start next week and I've been feeling like the biggest idiot cus I might fail, so this video comes at the best moment possible, thanks
Just found your channel today Maria. Love your vids
No shame in being motivated only by money. "I want to get rich" is what made me choose comp sci, and it is what is making me grind even today.
one of the best videos i saw!!!
also feyman technique (just condensing your notes to be as layman/simple as possible) is really useful. u basically teach yourself through proxy when trying to simplify a note down to retard-tier level. learning by just doing stuff is also probs just the best way to learn something
i recently found out ur channel and i watched all ur videos
KEEP MAKING VIDEOS!!
literally just watched all your videosss!!! looking forward for moreee! currently in my 2nd semester in freshman year and haha cs is killing me but finding your channel is really helping me remind myself why I'm studying CS. :'>> plus ur hella funny
Incredible video I needed this
This channel is so good
You are amazing ! Keep up these great videos / content ! :D
Good advice! Maria, you would probably like Patom Theory by John Ball. It’s an underrated take on cognitive association.
Machine learning is a really good abstraction how we learn. You throw a lot of data at the brain, watch the outcome, punish them or give them incentives and hope for the best.
what a cool person. love her
Hi, I'm a college freshman in CS and I really appreciate your videos. :))
3 videos and already 6.7k subs.
Just commenting here before you blow up
OMG I am addicted to your videos

I love your content 🤩
Keep Growing 🔥
Can't stop replaying your videos. You look like taylorrrr! 🤭
Please upload more videos about interesting ideas. Thanks from Chile
My new fav Content :)
im glad that youtube suggested this video to me
This is some high quality content
Great content, keep it up! subscribed
I really appreciate you using camel casing in your channel name
I love you for no reason
literally what i need to hear
Ok ,from now on I am your first fan.
Adrenaline now fire together with the optical nerves while watching you.
Finally great content on TH-cam! Please, try to upload a new video at least once a month. Thanks.
You are hilarious Maria! 😄
Hello people of internet. Nice start of greetign.😊. I was thinking while watching your interest in various areas, I had no opportunity of mobile, lap, internet during my college.. Even college didn't provide internet 😂..
as a data engineer who got a private pilot license...i dont have time to maintain it. was fun while it lasted but its basically a parttime job
