Hey Ali, I have always studied doing summaries of my notes since I thought rewriting things would make it easier for me to memorize. But ever since I started to watch your videos, I have changed my studying method. However I wonder, how do you keep notes of your syllabus? Do you just take them from the internet and save the links?
"...and so I take a quick break and spend half an hour chatting to my grandma in Pakistan, thereby signalling what a wonderful grandson I am." AHHAHAHA
I'm a Japanese medical student in final grade, so it's very interesting for me to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your really nice way of studying. I hope you enjoy studying Japanese. Naruto is also cool:)
Matt Riley-Braley I second this. This seems like such an effective method of learning, would be great to see how to best utilise it in more detail 👍 thanks
I really appreciate your ability to balance studying with other regular activities - you're clearly very efficient with your time, and I'm certain the balance makes the process of studying far more manageable/bearable. Very inspiring! Thanks for the quality content as always.
I have been following Ali for a few months now, and really happy to see him learning our language :) Arigatou for giving us precious advice for making our lifestyle more productive, and great study method as well!!
As someone about to go back to uni as a very mature student - I particularly love the extensive guide to procrastinate and avoid starting to do any work! (I foresee a very clean house and probably alphabetically ordered spice rack before I get on to anything productive)
Already subbed , now hitting the like button because of , "to call & speak with grandma in Pakistan " ! Wow.. I'm an Indian , so feeling something good ! 🍁💐
The best part of his videos is that he is the only guy in the entire TH-cam bloggers, who speaks in the speed I'd like to hear. Otherwise, every other time, I have to go on increasing the speed to 2x. He has top content. Its fun and resourceful to watch.
Your videos are the only videos on TH-cam that actually calm me. Thank you for that. I always find myself inspired when I come to your channel. Keep up the good work Ali.
I really appreciate you listening to your viewers and slowing down your dialogue so that many can understand. This goes to show that you actually read the comments and concerns of your fans, and I think many people, including me, find that it is very uncommon for creators and influencers to do such a thing. I hope you stay this way through the course of your TH-cam videos and keep sending out bangers!
how can someone be so productive? like howwwwww? even in the break, he learnt a new language like whaaaaaaaaaaa.........some people really are god's favorites
Great video ali! Honestly you’re the inspiration for many including me.Really gets depressing in the medical school until i see your videos and i swear by this that your videos make me so motivated to do so much more and never give up.
Love and appreciate your Study With Me videos Ali! I do have a question (which you might explore in a second Anki video) on your card construction. I was taught a high quality flash card (and best use for flash cards) is when you have a simple front card and a simple (quick, easy) back card. Basically a format that enables you to go through each card quickly and not force your brain to try and mind-dump everything you know about a large topic. So when I saw your Complex Regional Pain Card you copy/pasted a lot of material from the Q-bank explanation to recall when you see the card again in the future. When you see the CRPS card in the future what would you expect yourself to recall before flipping the card?
"i put my alarm for 7:00 am in the morning to seem like a productive member of society but i turned it off and went back to sleep until half past nine." I DID THE EXACT SAME THING LIKE RIGHT NOW LMAOO
I like how humane and relatable your videos are. « I set my alarm at 7 AM but woke up at 9:30 » or « I called my grandma » make your video super relatable.
How i wish i knew this channel existed when i was in college. With only a few videos, i’ve taken away so many useful tidbits from srs/anki/active recall to retrospective revision tables & excel “flashcards” Hopefully I can get into grad school and things will be different. Thank you Ali!!
@@lollmylifex3 Hi that's good to hear. Im currently an Econ Undergrad student and Anki works well for it but I found myself drowning in flashcards. Are there any other useful methods you found or incorporated with your study style? Thanks, ps. if there maths based study techniques it'd be really useful if you could share
OMG where have you been all my life. No, seriously, I'm 55 and finally 'learning how to learn' instead of always struggling and not knowing why. Loving the content, please keep it coming ;)
quick break and spend half an hour chatting to my grandma in Pakistan, thereby signalling what a wonderful grandson I am hahaha I also do something similar. Love from India. All the best for the MRCP.
Can you make a video elaborating how you use notion and anki synergistically for your medical exam? I will start studying soon for my DAT exam and believe that notion and anki will be very powerful tools for my studying. Also love your guys podcasts been listening to them since day 1 and always excited for Sunday to rule around!
Jobanpreet Singh I had the same thought! If Anki is for active recall, then what is the purpose of Notion? Just to have an outline to reference material later in life? Or do you do some recall with notion as well?
It's crazy how i discovered your podcasts not overthinking first before i came across your videos on youtube. im changing my study style and im getting an ipad air now -an imperial college student
Started med/dental school a month ago in germany and really love your anki and study based videos. Anki has helped me a lot already since i ve started with it 2 weeks ago. I wondered how i could remeber all for anatomy but due to you it seems as if its possible to pass all exams. Thanks
Feel free to ask me any questions about Japanese! I watched your videos a lot when I was doing my masters, and this one was my favourite during exam weeks!
Hey bro because of you I've been using anki for over a month now and I have to say it is much more fun than regular preparations and I hope to test it in the up-coming engg exams,love from India..
Thank you Ali, I am pharmacy student in Iran , And I am really grateful to have you as my friend, You really help me and make me feel wonderful, I wish you every success in every aspect of life, I love you really, Thank you, Sincerely, Amir Mahdi .
Not a medicine student-far from it, in fact-but the (1) mindmap -> (2) active recall spreadsheet (for an overview) -> (3) flashcards on Quizlet completely changed my revision technique before my exams this past month. Something that I found surprising is how active recall gives a lot of definition to subjects that are traditionally super broad (like the social sciences, in my case). Most of my work compiling notes and doing readings that contained a variety of perspectives would've been entirely lost had I just tried to use a textbook and summarise it AND it would have been incredibly daunting to make a huge document for every topic in each module. The mindmaps make you cull each source down to its essentials and then the ARQs let you expand a lot of that detail since you can spin those any which way, making them both way more engaging, easier to parse (after an initial increase in effort-though that is the point), and in many ways more academically sound as well! Thanks for all of your videos on the topic, Ali!
Youre the reason i feel so calm. I love your communication skills. Could you please make a video on how to have sweet and humble voice like yours ? I listened last 30 secs like thrice cause i found it it so sweet and noticing.
1:20 quick capture take note, flashcard of mistakes 2:10 active recall, spaced repetition dont just read explanations on where u went wrong 3:35 😂 4:50 editing energy 4:55 notion: reinforces skeleton of knowledge blitz revision 5:40 copy paste bc summarising red ❌ technique
Would love a more detailed video about the quick capture technique. Love that idea already, gonna try to implement that one, starting tomorrow. In Germany we mostly do oral exams or multiple choice. So that should work fantastic.
Grandma from Pakistan... You dont know how much that made me happy.. I am from Pakistan and I have been following you for a while now.. Kamaal yaar.. 😊
PS...could you share the link for that LG wide monitor?...I’m interested in buying one to speed up my note taking process...I usually read and write side by side...using Bear notes with Kindle by it’s side:))
Hi Ali!! I’m a third year medical student in Argentina and I was wondering if you could make a video explaining how to make a mind map? Thank you very much!!! xx
I understand the sponsor but as an Anki user you should be using that for language learning too! no translations just pictures for words in your target language and move towards sentences in your target language with cloze deletion. (fill in the blank) awesome video and great to see how you spread out your studying

"I consider writing. My own notes a waste of time, where as others have already done the work for me". Yes boiiiiiiii 😎😂
Does this apply to the books we read on kindle too? Am a bit confused, so we should rather copy-paste than paraphrase in our own words.
If I read on the kindle device, it is rather difficult to copy paste to Notion.
It's so difficult to kick this habit. I find myself immediately trying to write my own notes when I know from experience that it's a waste of time.
I'm a Japanese medical student in final grade, so it's very interesting for me to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your really nice way of studying. I hope you enjoy studying Japanese. Naruto is also cool:)
"Cheeky mangekyou Sharingan" -- Ambassador of active recall, Ali.
I had to subscribe after he said that. Any naruto fan a real one
I swear he learned that from Naruto then the sponsor
Another video on Anki would be great! Especially on how to use it effectively and efficiently.
Matt Riley-Braley I second this. This seems like such an effective method of learning, would be great to see how to best utilise it in more detail 👍 thanks
Agreed
He has full course about Anki but on Skill share
I love how his voice drops 3 octaves when he speaks Japanese😂
“I set my alarm for 7am.... but I turned it off and went back to sleep until half 9.” Literally me.
ME BUT AT 11 INSTEd ;(
I thought this vid was made in quarantine and I was like why on earth is he waking up so early??? But then I realized its a year old
I really need to study and didn't manage to wake up on time for 10days straight now. Always sleeping like 10hours. D e p r e s s i o n

Study with me(s) are the best videos ❤
Why are the videos your create so quality
This might be off topic but how do you manage to study for a long period of time without feeling headache because of looking at the screen a lot??? 😭
Low brightness
get the blue glare/tint thingy if you have glasses. helps loads.

Use night light makes it easier on the eyes
Blue light filter lens.
Please, make a video how you use Notion for active recall 🤓😁 saludos from Chile
how can someone be so productive? like howwwwww? even in the break, he learnt a new language like whaaaaaaaaaaa.........some people really are god's favorites
It feels good when he goes over his process for making cards and you’ve got the same approach
The first few seconds of the intro is exceptionally lively especially the "iSn't tHAT eXCITing" it makes me smile haha
Great video ali! Honestly you’re the inspiration for many including me.Really gets depressing in the medical school until i see your videos and i swear by this that your videos make me so motivated to do so much more and never give up.
