      Maybe 7 hours is too much for you. Maybe your methods are boring, repetitive and not efective. Try to change your schedule and priorize whatever method works better for you. In the video he talks about it.

    testing-active recall, flashcards, testing yourself before, during, and after studying
    spacing-"deliberate non-practicing", space out study sessions to forget some information
    categorizing-if you want learn the information, create a category-based system such as a "tree of knowledge" or "mind map" with branches that hold specific information about that general subject
    interleaving-if you're finding learning hard, then you're learning correctly. the brain is like a muscle; work it out.

      I think that is NOT what he meant with #4 - Interleaving. #4 is more about 'mixing' your set of problems to make them mentally challenging. Such that you will learn to stick the solution with problem type. But further utilizing this technique with #2 spaced repetition, then you are kind of right. Here we 'mix' the information (#4) but also 'space it out' over lets say 4 days (#2). Doing so, you have both the techniques in motion.

    Wow this is revolutionary for me! I dunno how I went through post grad medschool and training not knowing sound study techniques back in the early 2010s.
    Surprisingly, I believe categorizing has always been my style. I want to see the whole picture first and start from there. If I can connect everything in 1 whole sheet that would be best.
    Recently knowing other techniques such as active recall/self testing, spaced repetition, etc kindof made the whole studying picture more doable and almost complete.
    Will surely try the others out and excited for it!

  • @GustavoSilva-ny8jc
    @GustavoSilva-ny8jc 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    10:44 Oooohhh this is such a relief!!!! I was getting so frustrated and desperate recently! It was really messing me up. I thought "WHY?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME??? Why do i keep forgetting non stop no matter how much i study?!", now i know (or i think i know) that is because i was waiting to remember all the concepts in detail before acting on them instead of exercising when is hard to do it! There was always this sense of "shit! I'm forgetting the rest" and i stopped pushing.
    This was more in behavioural change, like becoming more calm, controling my perception and anxiety. I realized that there will never (or probably never) be a point where i will change into the strong, corageous person that i dream just by reading. I need to exercise the correct behaviours like if i'm trying to correct physical technique. The discovery that traumatic events are just like regular memories, as far as i know, and that they become important because we replay it over and over again really gave me an epiphany, was like AC/BC. Now i know that is okay to feel weird trying another behaviour and that is going to be mistakes because you're instintively will want to go back to old ways, especially when it gets tough, so you need to resist the temptation - a lot of times the anger - and embrace the akwardness, you will see that rationality will take you further. It's like shooting your butt in a Squat, which often leaves your torso horizontal and you will eithed fail the lift or break your back. The body has weird ways in trying to solve a problem, it will try to lift something at all cost - cause it's essencially is trying to survive - even if that way will end up killing you. Instincts can be dead wrong sometimes. I'll guess that, just like a baby, the impulses need to be trained before becoming trustworthy.
    But the part the most relieve me the most is the idea that i can make a mistake and is okay, i just can't let the mistake go from an outlier to a new pattern, can't let the mistake become a habit in and of itself. The Democracy of The Self as Tom Frank calls it. Things that mark us deeply stay longer because we continue to exercise the new behaviour, there's a huge emotinal attachment to it, but even things we deeply love can lose it's flavor if we don't exercise enough, as it was with me and Lifting and Volleyball, i loved more than anything and now those feeling feel like a distant past, only a waterdown version remained from the inferno that it was before, only because i had to stop training and thinking about it. Which is crazy, i this is like this even true with our loved ones if we stop thinking about them.
    Same thing with negative spiral and biased thinking. Repetion is the root of all evil but it can also be a great weapon if we're aware of it.

    Hi Ali.
    First I want to congratulate you on maintining such a high quality channel, you are really making a difference.
    When I watch your videos it all makes perfect sense and seems like the perfect way to aquire new knowledge. As a software engineering student at Aalborg University we do a lot of group work, which keeps us at the university for at least 8 hours a day and that means we have to use the "cramming" technique when one have to study for a topic in order to not let our fellow students down when doing group exercises.
    I would like to hear your two cents on how to apply the spaced study sessions in this environment since I find it difficult to plan and study for 5 lectures every week whilst applying spaced repetition.
    Best regards.

    Your topic today is so important for studying. I discovered your channel a few days ago. My exams will begin in two weeks. But I didn’t learn enough because of my not-knowing-how-to-learn. Do you have any idea how to realize the STIC-technique for the last days till exams?
    Thanks a lot for answering ;-)

    Really great advice. I am a science student and always saw that when I first learned something it made most sense, however when I revisited it it would not stick or make much sense. Hopefully now I can actually learn the content properly.

    I have my first exam this year in 2 weeks & like a month ago I started "testing" me with ANKI the first time. And well, know I answered nearly everything right I lost my motivation to continue my studies. I wasn't sure about what to do more, than reading the books our profs gave us. So I know that I can't quit to study 2 weeks before and that's why I decided to search techniques or something like study motivation on TH-cam - and then I found this video. While I'm watching your video I already know how to challenge myself with the knowledge I earned from learning with ANKI (Tree of knowledge: I can visualize and work on specific categories or go deeper in the subject if I have to). - You motivated me again with giving me a direction - thanks for that video! :)

    Hey Ali! Can you make a video about going through some different types of learning material and how you take notes/active recall/flashcards/study and learn new content? Instead of just describing it, can you actually show a little bit of doing it in real time?
    Like pharmacology, pathophysiology, conceptual-based learning, and others? I would really appreciate it... I'm getting stuck on the nuance of what to even write as questions when I am studying and how specific I need to be. For example: what do you need to memorize VERBATIM as opposed to making a conclusion yourself, in your own words? Thanks a lot and you are amazing!!!

    testar - active recall, flashcard, se testar antes, durante e depois
    espaçado - dar um tempo pra esquecer pra poder se esforçar pra lembrar e "tatuar" de vez no cérebro
    categorizar - organizar o pensamento de forma que você pode adicionar novas informações, mas dentro duma estrutura de conhecimento, facilitando acessar essa informação
    interlinked - não entendi bem, mas acho q é o esforço é proporcional ao aprendizado, se estar sendo difícil no processo de aprendizagem quer dizer q vc está com o grau ideal de dificuldade, diferente de achar impossível que faria vc desistir e de achar fácil que faria vc ficar entendiado e desistir também
