I am applying this in my study. I am 33 and back to university and this is my first technique (taking notes) that I apply in order to organize my whole study journey.
I first encountered the ‘Mind Palace’ technique from the BBC show ‘Sherlock.’ Though hyper-inflated in its capabilities, I could not help but awe at how the protagonist: A contemporary adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes utilized the Mind Palace technique, it was absolutely awe-inspiring. On the same subject: I wish to develop my Mind Palace, yet I am uncertain to how it is done.
I'm the only one at my gym who takes notes. People ask me all the time "do you ever re-read your notes? Why do you take notes?" I do re-read them sometimes but I explain that when you write things down, it passes through a different part of your brain, helping you retain more.
I take notes while watching intructionals. It's a game changer. I also rarely go back to my notes but simply writing it down helps me retain it. I use the mind palace for retaining bjj information.
Notes are helpful, yes. Mnemonics, to a degree, also helpful. My understanding with people that use a mind palace is that they often end up using these skills like parlor tricks rather than putting them to use in some other productive way. Essentially, this strategy doesn't translate well to real-world applications-- if it did-- more people would use it.
Personally I default to never taking notes. For me it's easier to retain the big picture and then reason backwards, without focusing on rote/mind palaces. For me taking notes is only for keeping context-less numbers or dates. Once the big picture starts forming, the exact dates and figures seem to remember themselves. Dead average iq. Software job.
To relate it back to the original question: Notetaking has been very important for me, for presentations, public speaking, or exams. But like Zahabi I never had to read the notes. I think the usefulness of notetaking comes more from reducing anxiety. If a portion of your mind is pre-occupied with remembering specific pieces of information, and it is simultaneously anxious it might not remember when the time comes to use it, then that doesn't leave much room for anything else. I believe anyone can be articulate, accurate and entertaining, if they're speaking about something they have supreme confidence in. (Even if they're completely wrong!) Cool video, thanks.
@@jesperkgb Interesting. I asked him the question because I am relatively new to the discipline of philosophy and wanted to know how people actually learn these concepts. I'm doing my CS undergrad, and to learn math, for example, you need detailed notes and examples since the concepts are technical and easy to forget, even if you write them down while listening. When I started my own reading, I thought it had to be a different approach for philosophy since the nature of the material was different, which is why I asked him the question. I also asked him because he always answers and speaks with a clear understanding of the topics, on par with a professor at university. However, he is not an academic or professor but an MMA coach-a very successful and busy one, too-so he must be very good at studying and learning. As an MMA coach, you can't spread false, unverified knowledge to your students; it can change their lives forever. I wonder if it is this respect for knowledge that makes him a better thinker than one might initially expect from an MMA coach.
In tv series Sherlock season 3 there was a bad guy which power was to memories things and blackmail people exatcly like you described “in a room”. All thought he had secret room in his house with filies for blackmail but in the end it was clear that all his blackmail information was in his head. If you want to see visually what Firas is talking about you can watch Sherlock S3E3
yes im the same, i wont re read my notes but simply writing it down makes me absorb the info more

Use the loci-Method and Pek-Method.

As always very Insightful content coach ❤
Fascinating stuff, coach. But in what way do you apply mnemonics in your daily life?
salam Farid, nice seeing you here. What is your technique for learning - I have benefitted from you also jzk :)
@@JoBlogz Salams! I'm a big note taker as well. ;)

Asslm Coach. Regards from Toronto
Repeat the name back to them. Attach a visual image to the name. Helps me remember a lot of names.
Idk what kind of crazy story you need in your head to remember 1000 digits 😂
Coach this is super insightful! Are there any books you can recommend for pneumonics(sp?)?
Facts 💯

thank you :) can you please elaborate a little with some examples?
Ah! Hahah, read my comment. It is amongst the rest. Mentioned this exact instance.
@@JoBlogz google mind palace. That will tell you everything you need to know.
Sherlock is sooo good one of the best show ever
khan academy is a good support to learn math science
Prediction for Dufort/Rabadanov? This guy is no piece of cake...
Please do a video on tom aspinall
Can you make a video on father advice
Hey Firas what philosophy books do you recommend for a newbie. I like budhist and taoist ideas.
I wonder how much mnemonics costs the mind? In terms of creating too many connections between concepts in the brain! The opposite of empty mind!
Wow, interesting point to consider and ponder. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Pneumonics ???
It's like you making up patterns for you to be able to recognize pieces of info and remember them better.
✊✊✊
DR zakir naik has an incredible memory as well
Religious fanatics tend to possess this ability, it’s their most effective tool.
