    1- Pre learning
    Plan: Identify what you do want to learn, what is the most efficient and effective way to achieve it: the order on which you will follow the plan and the most important things to learn. Use a strong and strict deadline to prevent procrastination procrastination
    2- Learning
    You have to put in hard work. Make your learning-dedicated time spaces also the most efficient and effective as possible. Eliminate all types of external or internal distractors so you can put in your whole focus on your task, which can be trained with meditation, consistency and continual reflection and improvement
    3- Drilling
    Make your drills as close to the goal context as possible. Identify and attack your weakness constantly so you can get your expertise to its maximum potential

      Exactly. I know someone who currently knows and can talk 8 languages. I've known the guy for like 8 (almost 9 after 2023 is over) years now as he was a childhood friend of mine, he struggled to learn languages on school because of the exact stuff teached on this video. He (and I) learned all of the languages we know from a source that isn't the school system because its simply inefficient at teaching and doesn't work on 90% of people at a good enough speed
      Its incredible how someone can learn a ton of languages in an insane speed (and to learn other skills and etc) when it's efficient. I still don't know that many languages but the work my friend has done learning was incredible

      I hope this helps, also for other things that we learn we mostly implement the skill in a way that would be similar to using it in a real situation. For example we would actually be writing code and developing small programs, to learn programming. Ofc with a good schedule that guarantees lots of efficient practice per day.
      Also using online sources of learning benefited us bc the person recording a video or giving advice is in a good mood unlike most teachers on a long day at work

    [0:23] 🎓Pre-learning
    1. *Pre-learning* involves researching and planning the order of topics needed and the method of learning. For example, you have to study prerequisite topics like algebra and trigonometry before you can start calculus and the method of learning for math is doing practice problems rather than reviewing flashcards. 00:23
    2. *Set a hard deadline* for pre-learning to avoid procrastination. Set aside 10% of your time for pre-learning. Lets say the exam is in 10 days, set aside 1 day to plan out the roadmap. 01:28
    [2:24]💡Focused learning is key to effective and enjoyable learning, and it involves eliminating distractions
    1. *Focusing* comes down to eliminating external and internal distractions and training focus as a skill through meditation, consistency, and reflection. 02:24
    2. *Practicing* in the exact or close approximation of the desired situation is crucial for effective learning and achieving goals. 03:29
    3. *Drilling* helps identify weaknesses and allows for targeted practice to improve specific aspects of a subject. 04:02

    HI, I rarely comment on videos but your statement about intuition at 5:30 really sticked to me, never thought of it that way. I used to confuse intuition with the little voice in my head that wanted to take the easier path, the path which wouldn't require me to think deeply .If what you say is true, experience makes our intuition more trustful, which leads to more space to actively think about things we don't completly master which helps a lot in order to be great . Thank you for that

    Didnt realise I was learning things this way before I've watched this video, I've always been good with learning things I'm interested /passionate about and never paid attention to how I actually learn thigns. This put things into perspective for me and helped detect flaws I had in my current "method", i.e I've never considered "infernal distractions" such as stess and perfectionism. I have ADHD and that massively affects how much focus I can allocate to certain tasks and I always blamed it for said lack of focus. Now that I'm aware that my mental state can affect my learning I will do a better job at negating its effects. Also need to keep my perfectionism in check.
    Awesome video! Did not expect much, and was pleasantly surprised.
    Hope your channel will do well.

I have the exact same issue where ADHD doesn't let me focus but being a perfectionist, I just can't let things go...I HAVE TO keep going until I ace the task (high expectations from myself) This leads me to burnout many a times...
      Would love to know how you manage it..

  • @aaronhunyady
    @aaronhunyady Рік тому +2

    Some good advice. If it’s a subject that is relatively focused and straightforward (like learning a language), the pre-learning stage can easily be done ahead of time. If it’s a topic that is very broad, complex, open-ended or with many different approaches, for example, writing a novel, an iterative approach may be best. For example, first look up how to write a short story, then write two short stories (like 1000 words each so they go quickly). Then assess your weaknesses at at least two levels (the story arc which involves character development and plot structure, and the wording) and where your process failed (or better, have an experienced writer assess the various aspects of the stories), and then do the pre-learning stage on the areas that need the most work. Once you can write an effective short story, it's theoretically just a matter of scaling the complexity to write a novel. In any case, broad topics like that will get you expertise much more quickly if you do many quick cycles of learning followed by practice, critiquing your practice, learning, practice, etc.

    -DO NOT get focused on one task for too long
    -FIND YOURSELF ONE FUN TASK for example make something funny or something about yourself

    for everything we learn there is a specific scenario or set of scenarios that we are training for, whatever direction our learning is directed towards we need to gear a huge proportion of our study time towards practicing in the same exact situation or as close an approximation as we can get, so make sure your study techniques never steer too far from the study context you wish to use your newfound understanding in, if you don't do this you'll end up wasting a lot of time and you wont get as close to your goals anyway

    I would like to point out the difference between learning something like information vs learning a sport/body movement, for example, constant drilling in a sport like tennis wouldn't result in the same level of skill acquisition as playing against an actual opponent on the other hand constantly "drilling"

    So just focus my attention? Just don't get distracted?
    The video is good with some great points; as with anything in life I will have to customise it for my own capabilities. I have spend close to 50 years just trying to focus, telling myself just to do it- and then feeling like crap because I could not just do it.
    I've spent the last year and a 1/2 learning more about myself, what I can do, and what I can't.
    I've done what I can to minimize and eliminate distractions, I moved out of home decades ago to avoid fratricide.
    So when I do get distracted I just have to have tools and strategies in place to get my focus back to the task at hand, or know its not going to happen right now and so at least try and divert as best I can.
    The pre learning, or planning stage is good, setting a target time will help reduce procrastination rabbit holes.
    The identify weakness, contextual & targeted learning, bring sub=topic up, then check what is now your new weak area, or loop again if required , asses weakness & strength loop is a great approach.
    Possible weak areas may already have presented itself in pre learning phase.
    It is this iteration step that I believe will be most valuable for me.
    Anyway, I have waffled on when I Just meant to say thanks for a great Vid, every day should be a learning day.
    Cheers

    Pre-Learning can be a difficult task to accomplish if you're learning something from scratch. Because if you don't know what you don't know, then you'll likely end up creating a tangled web of knowledge that you can't unscramble... like the tangled web of photos and paperwork in Kevin Spacey's "A Beautiful Mind".

    Don't get me wrong, what he did was still pretty impressive. But if you go down this rabbit hole you will see that Scott Young maybe didn't even pass that MIT course and he just did it to advertise himself.
    * He defined what it meant to pass and "learn" MIT's curriculum
    * He set the passing grade to be unrealistically low
    * He set passing to be unrepresentative of taking a class. MIT's classes are very hands-on, omitting the lab components is a *huge* difference.
    * He leniently graded himself
    * He did not take advanced subjects
    * He passed his own extremely generous definition of what it means to pass, which he uses to justify his statements that he "learned an MIT degree."
    In the TEDx video he mentions the pitfalls of his approach early on, dwells on his method and finishes by saying that he "learned an MIT degree." By glossing over the pitfalls at the beginning, he simultaenously acknowledges and shifts attention away from *how much he didn't do,* and concentrates on his successes. He *still* advertises his success in completing a degree 4x faster and at 1/100th the cost of what an MIT student would do, even though he himself shows how it isn't comparable.
    This was all a short version of what Andres Romero, an actual student who finished MIT, said in the his Quora post.
    I hold with his opinion and I also want to add my part to it. Getting a degree is worthless if you don't put that degree to use. You want to learn how to make PCB's, Videogames, Animation, Music? Start by doing it. And don't start with something hard, start with something easy and after you finish that try something a bit harder over and over again until you are able to actually make something hard. That's how it works for games, for drawing, for learning how to sing at guitar, for learning a language. All you have to do is start.

    This video is about how to learn new subjects and skills quickly and efficiently. The speaker, Scott Young, outlines his system for "Ultralearning," which consists of three main principles: focus, directedness, and drilling.
    Focus: This means eliminating distractions, both external and internal, and training your focus as a skill. This is important because it allows you to learn more effectively and in less time.
    Directedness: This means practicing in the specific context in which you want to use your new knowledge or skill. For example, if you're learning a language, you should practice speaking and listening to the language, not just memorizing vocabulary.
    Drilling: This means identifying your weaknesses and then practicing them specifically until they are up to par with the rest of your knowledge or skill. This is important because it helps you to avoid bottlenecks that can slow down your progress.
    The speaker also discusses the importance of pre-learning, which is doing some research and planning before you start to learn a new subject. This helps you to identify the most important things to learn and the most efficient way to learn them.
    Overall, this video provides a valuable framework for anyone who wants to learn new things quickly and effectively. The speaker's system is based on sound principles and has been shown to be effective by many people. If you're looking to improve your learning skills, I highly recommend watching this video.
