Could you recommend the best book on the topic of mind mapping, please?
@@r.i.p.volodya no book is better than practice
I studied for one month and passed diploma in pharmacy because of justin....thank you Justin ..ur ways are super..practical...working..fromthen...on...I keep...seeing his videos..thank you so much again
Biggest shock today was seeing my MM featured at level 3. This made my day. On behalf of everyone in ICS, thank you justin for changing the way we learn!!
Congrats!
W's in the chat sir. Which one was yours
Active Recall + spaced repitition + Mind mapping level 3 , one of the best combo to study 👌
that's basically his half his whole program haha
As you master Mind mapping level 3, you dont actually need much of Active recall or spaced repetition. Actually, those techniques can still be used for information that doesn't fit in mind map at all. For the content in mind map, it's much more effective to active recall the whole mind map. For example, explaining it
Spaced Interleaved Retrieval
You didnt understand the concept .
There is NO need of Active Recall and Spaced repetition, once you master Mind mapping .
Mind mapping covers all and saves your time .
@@RameshKumar-ng3nf you still need to do level 3 applying
Can you please make a vidoe for procedural subjects like math with examples like this video? I really love your channel and itd be so helpful
Yess seconded!
Thanks a lot Justin sung
I have been for this drop for a millennium now, you are the person that had changed my perspective about education.
I am a pharmacy student from Nigeria, and you are The only educator i wish i have.
> you are The only educator i wish i have.
You can find other ones on the 'net:
Justin tells HOW to study, but not WHAT to study.
> had changed my perspective about education
Mine too,
giving both advice and inspiration.
After I study, I can show off at work by solving "hard" problems almost at the spot.
Level 1.5 here. Sometimes 3 on very rare occasions.
@@dojorafefili8313 same. But the most I have achieve is 2. I just started mind maps a few days ago
@@GTDash That's normal, takes a lot of time to master.
I can’t believe we had similar (level 0) mind map during school years 🤩🤩🤩
For a second, I thought I was looking at my past notes 😄
i love love LOVE this video. it took me a year to go from 0 to 1 because initially i experienced severe overwhelm and panic, and couldn't do it at all (thanks to my crazy parents..) once i got to 1, 2 came naturally to me. i have to first create 1 though, and then reduce that into 2. i'm not at level 3 yet. i'm grateful that you just gave me a map of where i need to go.
Hey Justin, thank you for sharing such insightful strategies on mastering mind maps at level 3. Your breakdown really resonates with how I approach mind mapping, combining it with my skills in spatial visualization and creative illustration. Here's an enhanced approach I've developed:
**Enhanced Mind Mapping:**
Enhanced mind mapping integrates advanced level 3 techniques with specific creative skills, enhancing both retention and creativity. Here's how it works:
1. **Creative Use of Space and Visual Skills:**
- Integration of physical or abstract spaces to organize ideas.
- Use of spatial abilities for intuitive connections.
2. **Detailed Illustration and Visualization:**
- Applying illustration techniques to depict complex concepts.
- Creating visually rich mind maps for better understanding and memorization.
3. **Continuous Evolution and Flexibility of the Mind Map:**
- Maintaining interconnected abstractions that evolve with learning.
- Adapting the mind map to include new ideas and emerging connections.
4. **Visual Metaphors and Creative Analogies:**
- Using visual metaphors and analogies to enhance comprehension and memory.
- Incorporating easily recognizable symbols to aid in information recall.
This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of mind mapping for deep understanding but also fosters creativity in organizing knowledge. Thanks again for your insights-they've truly helped me elevate my learning process!
I just finished reverse goal setting today. I'm going to start with this thanks 🙏🏽
I'd say i'm in level 2, but I have been trying to bump things to level 3, which takes a loooot of time! Edit : Nah, I'd say I'm at level 3, I just don't spend that much time studying one topic, so...
It's been so long, Justin. I've been waiting for your video.
I find your videos deeply interesting. As a writer for 52 years, I'm less interested in learning than in high-level retention and comprehension of themes and supporting stories and details. There's a lot to keep track of, and much that it would be good not to forget. There seems to be a new and helpful learning track here that points to mind-mapping and possibly Zettelkasten for the kinds of books I'm writing now.
p.s. Small kvetch about the soundtrack which is intrusive, divides attention, siphons energy.
I am currently going from level 1 to level 2. Your videos are a tremendous help, thank you so very much.
Your videos are one of the bests!!❤
WRONG. There are the best
Love your mindmap videos! Keep it up! ❤
Have Been waiting ❤
Thanks a lot Justin Sung! Your few words are life changing.
i am in between level 2 and 3. And it great to see Sung to get a sponser
thanks, you've been very helpful so far in my brainmaxxing journey
I'm currently using mind maps to map out the main points of scientific papers (for postgraduate studies) I'm currently reading through. I was surprised at how uncomfortable it was in the beginning, but now I'm getting into it quite nicely. Definitely helps with finding relationships etc. I wish I knew of this channel much earlier, but grateful I get to learn from it now. 🙌
Justin needed this video and waiting for it
Thanks
From india
Thanks for another insightful video!
How should we balance between taking linear notes and making mind maps? Linear notes are better for lectures and reading in my opinion as sometimes you would like to capture as much info as possible.
My take is that mind maps are for the synthesis stage when we consolidate all the notes from lectures and books. What do you guys think?
I took a college cell biology course once which required 4 mind maps: one per each of the 3 major tests. Then a final unifying one before the final exam that didn’t contain the smallest levels of discrete details from the other 3; only levels 1-3 were connected to the overall picture. Mind you, this was before the days of infinite canvas apps.
Rules were:
1) Zero crossed lines-each line crossed was 5% off.
2) The biggest idea must be in the top center and everything must flow away from it.
3) Each bubble had only one concept (noun, 3 words or less).
4) Along each arrow line we had to write a single action verb, indicating the precise relationship between the concepts (e.g. creates, modifies, destroys, determines, completes, initiates, etc).
I have use this model with great success in my personal and professional life to create clean and detailed maps.
Wow, I feel like I grew up with you (not literally, cause I'm older than you). But I remember doing level 1, when I've just started watching your videos 4 years ago, and it didn't work, so I've stopped, but I still watched your videos about higher order thinking, and ways to study, and this year I've decided to try again, it worked so much better, and now after watching this video I know why, I unconsciously reached level 3 just by understanding how it should look like thanks to all your work through these years :D Thank you!!!
I think i go from level 1 to level 2. It depends whether I am feeling lazy and tired, or energetic and focused during that study session. I forget, nowadays, to emphasize certain connections or relationships. Sometimes I'm also lazy at reorganizing the mind map to be more intuitive.
So next time, probably, this Monday I'll try to be more mindful during my study sessions. Thank you!
I am probably at a level 2 right now, this is really helpful for me to get up to level 3
Level 2 here, it's really hard to use almost no word
I appreciate the video
Could you please make a video on building routines and being disciplined in following that?
Thank you ❤
Thanks! Just needed this.
so In India we have boards for school so we have ICSE CBSE STATE STATE syllabus
so in ICSE which I'm in in the 10th grade I guess the head people of the board read the bloom's taxonomy I guess and implemented the higher order learning in the syllabus and now they ask us questions which we NEED to process .Before english was boring and stupid and now its a perfect challenge for me the only thing I miss are the eassyyy questions they used to ask us before,Im very happy because I'm just discovering this(I discovered it
From my experience, I am at level 2ish. I've created many mindmaps which can be considered level 2, and level 3 on certain topics. And I could feel the level 3 ones were hella easier to recall whenever I saw the mindmaps. But yeah it wasn't consistent. Time to do some mindmap solo leveling. And Justin I can't thank you enough for these videos! Gives a lot of insight.
Great video thank you! :)
I'm still transitioning from level 0 to level 1, but hopefully, as this sem starts, I'll be able to use level 1 completely.... at least for a month!
I have been waiting for your video. This is very helpful ❤
I was thinking whether we can go even further: are there extensions to the level 3? As level 3 uses second-to-last level of thinking by Bloom's taxonomy, I think that it's actually the last level of mind mapping. What do you think?
Amazing video! Would love a video on how to approach learning procedural skills in technical subjects like mathematics
Hey Justin, can you make a video about how to read the non-academic books like fiction or self help for example, to get the most out of it.😊
Depends on what yiu want to read it for, best bet is to make a mind map but what ykur tjough process is when making it, will inflence the mastery of the topic and how good the mm is
you changed my life!
I try to do things at level 2 but i get stuck almost immediately after creating main groups, thinking of what alternatives there are. From there i dont really know where to go. But overall level 1
Great
i think the most useful public focus for the future is on getting from 0 to 1
Its my first time learning about mind maps and I find it fascinating. I am solving many reading comprehension of all types and I wanted to know if this can help me in increasing my comprehension??
Hey, Justin
we need more details like we wanna know what to do step by step to apply the techniques correctly,
talking about the techniques in a diplomatic way is really confusing and makes applying the techniques really hard.
If you do that I'll be grateful to you..
THE BEST STUDY CHANNEL❤
Really good! I'm at level 1
Thank you for this, Justin! and to answer your request, I'm at level 2 MM (:
I say because I watch a lot of videos in youtube, that Justin is a unique person that like integrate all the techniques that like all the youtubers talk, but not so much like that. It's like some of those techniques but improved and new techniques but it's more like a study system that integrates task managment, procrastination, note taking, spacing, retrieval, interleaving, and more things around the study. I was in his course, At the begining of his course talk about task management and procrastination, and those videos are easy to understand. if you investigate there are videos that talk about urgent tasks or burn the boats as he put in his videos those concepts, so if he puts at beginning things that appear in various videos in youtube is not so difficult, because It's like the videos or techniques you often see, but together. And if you didn’t understand the theory you only have to ask to the coaches. The causes of why I didn’t progress a lot are or I didn’t apply the techniques, or My english is not very good to watch the videos or understand when the coaches talked in like mettings. So I will learn english first and then start again the course
Yooo Justin, finally
I think I start with level 0, then when I have more info that I can group together I create the level 1 and 2 maps, I don't think I have reached level 3 yet. So this is a helpful video, thank you.
Can you show example of mindmap related to specific disease like the signs & symptoms, pathophysiology, investigation, management,etc? Basically the structure to make mindmap level 3 for medical student who want to study specific disease / approach specific symptoms related to specific system such as cough for respi, SOB for cardiovascular, etc
What recommend to get from 2 to 3 especifically, i know he said we need to increase the quality of connections and grouping, using 4 and 5 levels of bloom taxonomy but especifically, how we can increase the quality of connections and grouping and flow?
BEST DAY EVER... Honestly coming home from work on a weekend and you find out Justin sung finally posted again!!! 🎉
(Even better considering, the video quality is only getting better and better, so good work on your team aswell!) 🌟🌟
Oh also im level 1 and have been for a year, because I don't reflect enough (however i found them veey helpful to recall information by thinking about related things.
(Or maybe 1.5 because i think alot about it first while doing synotpical reading)
Can you do a video on self learning Mathematics?
I want to get to University level of maths by myself but i really dont know how to go about it.
The problem with mindmapping and also scanning the entire chapter before i start to get some perspective on what the topic is about, is that i dont understand anything.
I have to learn the entire topic wich takes weeks until i am able to make sense of the basic structure of it.. but at that point i dont need it anymore because i already understand the topic.
It takes way too long to learn sentence by sentence as you said yourself, but i dont see another way...
advice would be much appreciated because you are honestly the best learning coach i've ever found.
Hello from Philadelphia. I'm at level 0 but am catching on 👍
Hello Sir,
I am a student, preparing for competitive examinations but I am facing lot of issues because of so much distractions around me 😭 .. Can u pls make a video on that topic!
I am in similar situation.
There are quite a lot in the channel. He has playlists covering various topics and that is one of them
Cheers!
The first ad sponsor(not self-advertisement) I can remember!
I think that I'm on the first level now, but I'll try to go to the second one.
Thanks for the interesting tutorial. Wish you the best of luck, more sponsors and students!
I’m between levels 1 and 2… I think I struggle with fear I’m going to miss something 🫤
Excellent video! It would be great if you make one explaining how you study from one mind map to rembember all the details that the exam requires us to put in. I mean, how to recall the text that you need to know if you only understand the relationship and the term itself but you didn´t recall all the details.
Can you do a video where you explain more about level five thinking , evaluation (critical thinking) and how can we master it ?
Video tutorial creating: Level 1 - use useless, unrelated background music, which is distracting from your message, but it feels beeter, just like your mom's kitchen radio. Level 2 - your background music serves a purpose, highlights certain sections, fits to the ideas, sometimes even stops and starts again. Level 3 - you give up on background music completely and finally attain the confidence to trust the sound of your own voice.
Do I have to create the level 2 mind map before making the level 3 one, or can I start with level 3 from the beginning?
Level -8.5. Still using Anking like crazy to study for Step 2 like a drug I know is bad but have too much anxiety to switch method that I used for years now. Also and don't know with such a huge syllabus which comprises all medical knowledge, tens of subjects with tens of topics inside how many mind maps and how to summarize if it is expected to remember all details. So a USMLE step 2 (or step 1) focused video on how mind map level 2 or 3 could be used would be great I think. Ciao
@justinsung can I start with my note taking from level 1 then going level 2 then 3?
I mean, I take notes from the professors slides attaining level 1
Then after I finish everything on the slide, I level up the same ideas to level 2, then to 3
Can I do that? Or I should asap go to level 3
I feel I'm missing info if I went to level 3 directly
Wow you use every skill you developed to the best extent! Amazing video, very helpful ideas.
And I think I’m level 2 btw, would love to see more of that content, how to improve (finished a degree in biology and about to start another in medicine)
Archer also posted something similar to this recently
Great video, thanks for the information
Do you make mindmaps for specific contents or for full chapters? Or both?
I'm somewhere in level 2 and 3 mindmapping, I'm able to emphasise and structure my mind maps pretty effectively, but my grouping skills need a bit of work :>
Same here ^
Thank you, Justin! This really is helpful!💯💯💯
I did try mind mapping, and I really understand concepts better than before, but after a few weeks, I can't figure out what I'm trying to explain in my mind map in some places. Is it a problem with my mind map, or is it normal?🤔🤔🤔
It also happens to me! I think the problem could be that it’s logically correct, but not intuitive enough. When something is intuitive, you naturally grasp it. That might be the problem correct me if I’m not
I'm definitely somewhere between 0 and 1, my arrows are pretty good but I still rely heavily on words
Thanks for the video. One doubt: your example was making a mind map from a text, which is a "static" information. How can I create a level 2/3 mind map from a class in university or a video that I am watching since I'm only catching information and not retaining it because of how fast I'm getting them? I'm thinking that I would probably in this case annotate info like level 0 and posteriorly trying to translate it to level 3.
Do you think re-drawing information from a lower level mind-map in a higher level mind-map a good exercise or shall I just go straight into the next level with new information?
Great content! This is quite valuable stuff
While you are teaching mind mapping, you should break it down a little more by reading a paragraph to us, and showing us step by step how you will pull the info into a map form. Try it.
Justin did do that in this video with a paragraph from Wikipedia and also has other video's on it.
Finally !!
Just recently started mindmapping about a month ago. Still at level one. I find it challenging to condense to fewer numbers of groups when the info itself can be more fragmented. For ex. if its one theory with 4 distinctive key concepts, I find myself usually start with the theory’s name in the middle and branch out with 4 lines for the 4 keys concepts. and thats it. not sure how to go to Level 2 mapping with this.
Can you make a mind mapping video for math and physics?
Between level 2 & 3
Hey does this work for jee
Level 1 to 2
I am at level 2.8
P.S. The demonstration with actual mind maps was really, really helpful! 🎇
Somebody can explain to me how to create a mind map of an entire book when there are so many connections on just a single page? I can create a fundamental first-principle mind map of the entire book, but it will only give me a fundamental idea, not the exact things I need. To fully capture all the connections, I would need to create, I guess, 60-70 mind maps for a 300-page book. But what if the 35th mind map connects somehow to the 67th mind map? How would I do that? How is it possible, like Justin, to put an entire master's degree on a single mind map?
@@adrashyadav7935 exactly I wana know that too
OneNote - Use Notebook for Topic/Functional Arena - Use First principles for Breakdown/s of Structures/Sections & for recording/documenting specific foundational knowledge - Use grid table matrixes of linked pages for holistic views and high levels relationships and use other utilities like YED or DrawIO for mindmap creation/s and abstract higher order thinking + building/iterating over models
@@KRN1VOR Can you explain a bit more simply? I lost you in between. Thanks for helping tho 🙌
You can, it just take more time, but basically you don't want to put all in the map, just capture the general idea, get the basis to master the subtopics and eventually the details, i will put you an example: let's suppose we want to learn about a book of making pizza, you want to know the process, the steps, how they relate and why, not remeber how much cheese it need, even if it is importante, you'll get the control of those details with, making a lot of pizzas for example
@@Sarcob300
Okay, so you mean I've got the basics down, and everything else in the book is practical application? So what I understand is that mind maps are most useful for understanding the underlying intuition, not the exact details. For more details, like exact steps of derivation or formulas, I should use different techniques like Anki, and for actual solving and writing answers, doing practice papers is best. In a nutshell, by using Justin's 30/70 rule of theory and practice, let's say I understand everything about pizza - its essence - so practice and practical implementation will be easier and faster, but practical stuff requires different techniques; mind maps fill the 30% theory part, but for the remaining 70%, I need a different approach, like physical practice or other methods that fill the gap.
I think I'm shifting between the three levels of mind maps , it depends on my mental condition, mood , how much time i can spend thinking about the information that I'm learning. It's hard for me to keep my consistency with level 2 and 3
what is the software that he uses to mind map ?
I'm probably 1.5 to 2. Sometimes I am still too wordy and I start taking notes too quickly. Also still have trouble implementing red light/green light and starting with good questions. Taking me a long time to get past that.
Im at level 2 and topping my level to 3 would make me pristine
Level 3
Claramente pertenezco al Level 3. Y me he sentido absolutamente alineado con tu sentir, he empatizado intelectualmente, je (al menos es la mejor manera que tengo de contar esta sensación)
Esto me estimula a pensar a tu par y contarte mis experiencias.
En mi caso utilizo, además de todas y cada una de las características del Level 3, lo que llamo "síntesis performática".
Quiero decir, por ejemplo, que represento personajes, espacios tridimensionales y demás. Luego subo una imagen, si les parece
I think I'm still on level 1. I am able to represent information. but it is super messy. I usually need to redraw the map multiple times for it to be more cleaner
As a level one, I can guarantee it doesn't work at the beginning but eventually, you get better at level one and when it takes around a year to upgrade to level two but by the time you have reached there you will not be able to recognise yourself then vs now
Hey Justin, how do you simplify mind maps? Whenever I try to simplify stuff and make it look neater I find myself getting rid of details. Is this normal? When you say 1 mind map is worth hundreds of pages of notes, did you include the details? Or is it just the major connections and stuff? Thanks.
I think that details are not so important. Maybe you can memorise them when you are trying to apply your knowledge. Then you can make a new mind map with needed details.
Level 2 is analytical and level 3 evaluative.
Hello. Could level 0 be useful to extract the information from a page for mind mapping it or is it a useless step ? Thank you
It's useless. You will fall into the trap of trying to understand things in an isolated matter and will delay higher order thinking. That is not a good idea because when you are connecting, grouping and evaluating using a mind map you will automatically understand and remember everything better. So start from level as a beginner. If you want to train for a race, you wouldn't start by walking, would you?
No one tell you like this information except him i bet you no one ever ever tell you...
Does anyone do level 2 or even level one in class for the first time going through the content? I feel like level zero is needed just to get the information that needs to be processed later. Thoughts? (For reference I’m an ME major)
Correct me if I'm wrong, like level 1 is blind mind map without real grouping, level two is grouping notion together and level 3 is connecting group notions together ???
Evaluating groups
Level -1 here....im hoping to get it going ...Im dead serious...Need to lean how to learn
People with some knowledge of cognitive functions would see that Justin is quite Te in his preferences.
That’s something to understand if you find your personal experience with his methods and what he finds easy to do and hard to do to be somewhat unlike his. Or like his.
Your comment is hard to grasp.
Hello! Thanks for video. How can I learn level 3 mm according to your (Justin) approach? This video does not explain how , just says that level 3 better and Justin spent lots of time to master it. 😅
Practice and experimentation. Let's say you mastered level 2. So, you are already good at creating intuitive groups, meaningful relationships and you can organise it cleanly. Now, you want to focus on creating alternative groups and organisation, figuring out if there are better ways to organise and group what you know. In this case you might need to revisit your learning materials to find a different perspective than the first time you learnt it. There will be a lot of confusion and thinking until you will go through a light bulb moment.
Level 2 is analytical way of thinking. Level 3 is evaluative way of thinking. In that level you are trying to think what is important and what is less important.
i don't know but from my low level Bloom's taxonomy perspective, nothing trumps memorization. All these mindmap techniques are only useful to visualize difficult ideas which you won't stumble upon often. For all my exams it always came down to just memorization alone and maybe level 1 mindmap of how all things fit together as a whole. In my experience for each of these mindmap components you'll have like a page worth of memorization to do either way.
The thing is, even if your exam won't test you on higher orders, it STILL is really useful to try and engage in higher order thinking. Because your brain only holds on to Information that is relevant and feels super important. It also organises information in the brain based on relationships and significance. When you are trying to rote memorise, you are essentially trying to force relevance. It will make you feel demotivated, burnt out and it will feel like information is constantly leaking from your brain. So, even if you are tested on mostly facts, it still is a good idea to connect and evaluate new information. Especially when you enter into university, it is guranteed they will test you on tougher questions that ask you to analyse, compare and evaluate.
Yoo a vid about mind maps!
hi
