Hey Justin I just want to say thank you for everything you're doing. I know that you get a lot of hate from people who assume before trying out your techniques. Most people are lazy and don't want to put in the effort and most people have a big ego that prevents them from even trying something they don't think (even with evidence) is going to work. I have been working on your techniques for months and I will say the first few months were the worst in my learning carreer lol. I doubted you so many times. But something kept me going, I knew that you were actually taking the right path. Fast forward to now, my procastination has decreasesd, my mental health has become better, my efficiency increases and I LOVE STUDYING. I'm not yet part of the course but you're doing God's work. I have been learning about cognition and psychology and it's amazing that everywhere I go I see you have intricately put things together for optimal learning. AT THIS POINT I'm also inspired by you and am also creating some own techniques for random problems I might be having. I've gone from being feedback dependent to innovative! Thank you so much. (btw guys feedback is important to but make sure it enhances you like motivation )
Funny enough, I actually failed one of my subjects because I abruptly decided to change my previous 'non-existent' ways and did what he recommended early this year, that first quarter of Uni was horrible, but now I have distinctions in all my subjects and I am able to even play video games now whereas before I would study the whole day, still barely pass. Thanks to his teachings.
@@animac101 ah you don't see meta learners so often, good to see another one of us. I'm nowhere near distinction level but getting there great job bro!
Thanks so much for your message! I’m glad to hear you’ve come out the outside and have made amazing progress. Learning can definitely be very challenging. And so I totally get it - taking action can be tough, especially in today’s world with all the distractions, pressures, and challenges we face. So, I hope this message serves as a reminder that change is possible. My team and I work hard to pack as much value as we can into these videos to make the journey a bit easier for you. Wishing everyone the best on their individual journeys!
I’m getting to that last 20% of the 80/20 after years of watching your videos. Every video you put out helps so much for those of us who can’t afford your courses. Thanks for everything Justin Godbless you
I always have an initial very sceptical attitude to most videos on youtube. But the content in this one makes a lot of sense. This is how you really learn. But it is no quick fix that will make you a genius without making an effort. The hard work lies in learning the connections between concepts. This video is simply about how to remember them better and make them more useful in your practical knowledge.
This reminds me of the saying ‘slow is smooth, smooth is fast’. I don’t learn well without this kind of preparing the material for consumption and processing. If I don’t do the ‘slow’ work of configuration, which might feel unproductive, I end up procrastinating and cramming, learning nothing in the process.
Yea you’re completely right. It’s a concept that a lot of people struggle to accept because it feels counterintuitive when there’s so much to cover in such little time. Thanks for your comment, and I wish you all the best with your learning!
we can easily understand you but to apply the information it is so hard and that's how learning must be, but our system has failed us in to this linear note take and not providing us with effective study skills but none the less thanks justin
This is essentially the Zettelkasten method for me. You provided great insights on getting started and beginner mistakes making a schema/zettelkasten. Great presentation!
i kind of knew these things from your other videos but it was like, a little bit here a little bit there. So i am very happy that you put them all together in one place. keep doing what you are doing sir, you changed a lot of lifes.
Ask questions like, "how is concept x related to concept y?" "how are they similar or different? " "can I group these, if yes why?" "why is this concept important? "" Is this relationship important, if yes/no, why/why not?" "is this group good or can i make a better one? Why/why not?" "which group and relationship should i put in my mindmap, why?" write these types of question down and go back and forth between the relavant materials and your mind map trying to answer as much as you can. It may be overwhelming at first, so try to limit it to the most important questions first, giving yourself enough time to think. Hope it helps 😊
So back and forth, in it essence is the active learning. While you're studying, you actively thinking about the cause and effect, similarities and differences, evaluating your knowledge based on how clear your understanding is, alternatives ways of grouping information. When you're doing these thinking process, you are asking questions about what you are curious about, and in order to answer the question you need to flip through pages, think again about it, look at what you feels relevant. And that is so called back and forth
Check what's around u that could be causing ur migraine.. Electromagnetic fields? Low quality sleep due to blue light exposure or hyperactivity before bed? Low stress tolerance due to shallow mouth breathing? Preservatives, stabilizers, emulsifiers or colouring? An amino acid imbalance caused by eating too much muscle meat or egg whites?

For reconstruction schema the thing that helps me alot is if i try to find patterns and reserach whats common thing amongst all of this keywords and how they all connect to each other
This is what i figured out watching his content to solve numericals there isn't any specific tutorial so you'll have to create one. 1. Collect keywords of main concepts 2. Check out how numericals involving concepts are asked in exams & how's the relationship between multiple concept are tested 3. Form group of keywords of the main concepts 4. Make a mind map that shows relationship between concepts 5. It's the same method as this in the video you'll have to form a map of all concepts of chapter. That shows all the major relationships. The map becomes a visual representation that shows "how thinking is done in your brain" 6. then solve practice problems that involves multiple concepts 7. if you're stuck while practicing look at the relationships in map & figure out why you're stuck learn more refine map by asking "what's the relationship I'm missing in my map" "how to use this relationship to find the answer" this way you'll be able to slove a lot of questions easier
This is so exciting, and feels quite approachable. My eyebrows were raised at reorganising schemas every 10-15 minutes! Hahaha, which makes me think I'd so easily fall into that trap - thank you for highlighting this very clearly.
Great to hear the excitement! Yea that’s a big lightbulb moment when I do workshops in person. People often think of schema construction as this long laborious thing that happens over days or weeks or years. Just because it CAN take ages doesn’t mean it SHOULD or HAS TO. All the best Emma!
If you become in a state of information overload, I'm thinking a way we can reintroduce this method is: -Break it into smaller digestible 15 min learning parts -Build a base schema in those smaller parts -Challenge existing knowledge within that small part -Reintroduce another part to start layering together slowly. Kinda reminds me of making mayonnaise haha. Adding oil to the egg yolk slowly and blending each time you need to reorganize. Do it too fast and it separates lol. To fix a mayonnaise, you need a new egg yolk and to add a broken mayonnaise slowly... Actually, if my statement is true, gonna remember this as the mayonnaise method LMAO
Justin sir , there is a big part of ur audience from India all my friends watch ur videos and apply ur methods and techniques Can u plz analyse the jee advance exam and make a video about how to get top rank in the jee and get selected in IIT plz sir 🙏🙏
So mindmaps are for making relationships with information you already know with new information and this methodis for new information and conceptualizing it into the imperative topics
Hi sir Plz make a vdo dedicated to more technical subjects like physics and maths... Mainly maths as it have a larger section of numericals than theory and a great amount of concepts are required to solve even one problem...... Thankuh so much for all this❤❤
Hi Justin! I really enjoy watching your videos and my mind maps have become so much better because of you. I was wondering whether you have a system of reading textbooks. I have been priming, taking notes after reading subsections but I don’t feel much difference and want to constantly switch up my system. Any tips?
Thanks for the comment! Yep I certainly do. My video on the two stages of reading should help you with that a lot! Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/okHkUIW46ks/v-deo.html
This works great for some classes. But what about a course like graduate level pharmacology? Seems predominantly like active recall and random facts. Compared to physiology this would work great
I can see your point, what my take in this video is creating relationships from one topic to another. In Pharmacology, this is relevant because you need to know effects of certain drugs to the body which building "schema" can help you recall the information quickly rather memorize facts in isolation which is not how our brain works in remembering information.
Really great question! There are definitely some subjects and retrieval situations where isolated recall of facts is more necessary. In these cases, memorisation techniques are valuable. However, most people see it as very black and white and resign themselves to memorising everything. In my experience (as someone who has learned pharmacology and also trains many pharmacists/pharmacy students), most people think of it as a topic where 70-80% is for pure memorisation. But after deliberately trying to create schemas, that number drops to only around 40%. It’s still a lot compared to some other subjects, but the impact that HALVING your rote memorisation requirement has on your overall efficiency is enormous. So it may be challenging or feel unnatural at first, but keep at it and you'll do great!
So, layers are fine-tuning your schema. Continually streamline a series of mindmaps (or something like that) until you've broken down the information to its simplest or easily understandable form. Once you've done this, you've pretty much accomplished the schema-correct?
Great question! In simple terms, yes. But there’s an important nuance which is that the WAY you form the schema also matters. For example, if you just spam as many relationships as possible to connect everything together, you’ve “technically” created a schema, but it isn’t very meaningful. The hard part that takes practice (and produces the most benefit), is being very mindful about how you break down the information, how you simplify and group it together, and how you make it fit into an intuitive big picture that actually makes sense to you. It definitely can be a challenging process, but keep going you are on the right track!
You are good at describing what people do when they are learning but that's the bit that seams automatic, how else would you learn. How do you useschemas to process writing and not miss bits out though. What technique would you use to ensure that the schema and moving pictures in your brain get down on paper / screen at the quality it would if you spoke it or drew it ?
Thanks for your comment. So for translating knowledge into writing, I promote the usage of deliberate schema construction to clearly identify the flow of ideas and narrative. Most of the time I find problems with writing come from a lack of clarity in the actual schema of how someone thinks of the topic themselves. And so writing forces gaps to become visible. Hope that clarifies your question!
Hi Justin, I already do this; this video reinforces my beliefs that I'm doing the right thing, in many ways. So thank you. However, I'd like to ask you a question. Does your point on overwhelming relate to the capacity of the working memory (no more than 7±2 items)?
So this means that I can’t necessarily use a plain notebook when applying these schema pillars? It seems like this strategy of note taking works best with digital notes
I'm unsure how comparable these concepts are but schema reorganization reminds me of your earlier video about learning new skills. Schema reorganization requires one to stop consuming new infomation and to reorganize their existing knowledge structures. While skills requires one to stop consuming more theory until they've taken the time to analyze their mistakes and to turn their existing skills into habits. And for both, consuming too much new information will result in overwhelm and little to no mastery in a subject. I'm learning how to competitively play a fighting game and a trading card game which both require constant imrpovements and high levels of conceptual & procedural mastery. These videos are very helpful in guiding me on how I should improve. Thanks.
Yea they are definitely related! Most of the techniques and principles I talk about in my videos are very related to each other. I just choose different angles to package them so it can hit home for people who see things through a different lens and who might have different types of problems they want to overcome. Effective principles of learning transfer across different domains and techniques very consistently. And glad to hear you are improving, all the best with your fighting and trading card game!
Yes, the construction is the same, but schemas help us apply knowledge to new situations, whereas pre-study knowledge is task-specific. For instance, knowing a recipe (pre-study knowledge) helps you cook a specific dish, but understanding cooking principles (schema) enables you to adapt and create new recipes.
Yep spot on Nathaniel! You can start creating schemas during prestudy (and you should), but schemas never really “end”. Schema = knowledge. Prestudy is just a label we give for a step in the learning process. Great use of analogies in your explanation by the way!
Please help me. I'm trying to study but my mind isnt focused at all. Even when i try to follow my routine and force myself to study i either end up just sleeping or my mind switches off while my eyes skim through the text. I need help. I didnt used to be like this. It started when i absolutely aced a test that my piers failed horribly. Please help me.
i wanted to sign in your newsletter but the educational stage part is bug and nothing happens when i click on it .i cant even type my educational stage.what should i do is it beacause of my vpn or anyone else has this problem?
hey justin I've always tried to have crystal clear concepts but during the exam time i tend to make very silly mistakes. The questions that entire class solved are a part of my silly mistake while the ones i solved are the ones no other ones could solve. the silly mistakes make my scores go down. please help
Hey, I'm really glad you mentioned this because silly mistakes can be very frustrating One thing I've realised from coaching thousands of students is that silly mistakes are almost never silly mistakes, ESPECIALLY if it’s significant enough to cause a meaningful reduction in marks. It’s something I call Silly Mistake Syndrome. And so if you know the answer, you wouldn’t get it wrong (most of the time). And so one thing I tell my students all the time is to assume every mistake is meaningful and indicates a gap in your knowledge or attention. Find where the gaps are. Just because an answer makes sense when you read an answer sheet doesn’t mean you knew it. And I know this can be very challenging and frustrating, but it is important to stop telling yourself it’s a silly mistake and force yourself to evaluate your mistakes properly, and you’ll realise what the real problem is. As a result, this means you can get rid of any more silly mistakes in your future exams!
The video is about creating your own schema (network) to help you retain the information better which leads to mastery. How to: 1. Identify the Topic 2. Gather Relevant Information 3. Categorize the Information 4. Establish Relationships 5. Create Visual Representations 6. Review and Refine Note: You have to do all these things to learn the topic because it will help you establish prior knowledge. Prior knowledge is an existing knowledge person already possesses before learning new information.
The stages: Read, read, and read again. No secrets No super powers You only need to beleive in the process, the natural process. As you go your reading in your field and any field you invested time (reading) will be smarter and smarter.
Justin, I don't want to offend you but you should try to stop talking about the same techniques, connections etc. You had been talking about it ever since you started, maybe from my perspective try to simplify your videos more and show what works and what doesn't most of your viewers want to feel that they can change something in their careers, what about field specific videos? Maybe one video about way of thinking for math, other for programming etc. we know general rules from your videos but you might do video on abstract thinking , analytical, logical and so on Cheers bud ❤
Thanks for the comment! Yep I certainly do. My video on the two stages of reading should help you with that a lot! Here's the link for your convenience: ua-cam.com/video/okHkUIW46ks/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate hearing from viewers like you who are passionate about learning and want to see more varied content. If there’s enough interest in different kinds of videos, I’ll definitely make them! One of my main goals has always been to help as many people as possible. Sometimes we spend 30-40 hours on a single video, and when it doesn’t reach the people who would benefit from it the most, it’s disappointing. UA-cam's algorithm tends to favour broader topics, so to ensure the content reaches those who need it, we have tried to approach things a certain way in the past. That said, I’m constantly thinking of ways to deliver valuable content for long-time viewers who continue to support me. Even if it means taking a hit and putting out a video that doesn’t perform as well. Your feedback really helps shape what I do here, so thank you again for sharing. Cheers
@@Tstep45_qr who told you all these fun ideas 😂 If you want to pass exam and learn something easily….Use AI ….If you want to struggle use some other methods 😂😂….At the end time and peace matters..
@msrj899 I doubted about it for some time, just because I didn't understand the process yet. The moment that I started using it, I did get slower and messy, but as soon as the process became familiar, my results in difficult tests improved way more than I expected. For about 15% at first. Now I do know there is room for improvement. I started to do more and more questions after the schema, using interleaving, and get from 60%, when I started this whole process, to 85%-90%. The more you get about the process, the faster it goes. So, that works for me.
On the reorganizing schema part, I find it a challenge to reorganize the thinking and mental map of concepts and ideas when they have already been quickly formed in the earlier stages. Not sure if it is the same to others but I felt this process is slow because of unlearning and learning a reorganized schema in the mind that makes it slow and battling the sense of complacency and dependence on the draft schema that we had created. Any suggestions on how we may overcome that?
Hey Justin I just want to say thank you for everything you're doing. I know that you get a lot of hate from people who assume before trying out your techniques. Most people are lazy and don't want to put in the effort and most people have a big ego that prevents them from even trying something they don't think (even with evidence) is going to work.

Does your point on overwhelming relate to the capacity of the working memory (no more than 7±2 items)?
Can you also give examples for each video you make
where and how can i insert treatment on my schemas, i feel like they are always deslocated and i need to often just memorize them
Schema means A mindmap or a network of relations and mechanism???
This makes good sense, but really sounds like I'm going to have to embrace the hell out of the suck to "get gud".
We just haven’t been learning right all this while 😂
Bruuh how the fuck u're able to surprise me everytime . Bravooo
Nice 👍👍 keep up it
So this means that I can’t necessarily use a plain notebook when applying these schema pillars? It seems like this strategy of note taking works best with digital notes
can I know the name of the app you use to make diagrams
How do I make a mind map for things with lots of equations like mechanics in physics?
I'm unsure how comparable these concepts are but schema reorganization reminds me of your earlier video about learning new skills.
Schema reorganization requires one to stop consuming new infomation and to reorganize their existing knowledge structures.
While skills requires one to stop consuming more theory until they've taken the time to analyze their mistakes and to turn their existing skills into habits.
And for both, consuming too much new information will result in overwhelm and little to no mastery in a subject.
I'm learning how to competitively play a fighting game and a trading card game which both require constant imrpovements and high levels of conceptual & procedural mastery.
These videos are very helpful in guiding me on how I should improve.
Thanks.
Yea they are definitely related! Most of the techniques and principles I talk about in my videos are very related to each other. I just choose different angles to package them so it can hit home for people who see things through a different lens and who might have different types of problems they want to overcome. Effective principles of learning transfer across different domains and techniques very consistently.
And glad to hear you are improving, all the best with your fighting and trading card game!
what you're essentially talking about ultimately is mind maps right
The only way to form a schema is to use a mind map? This process feels confusing and strange, like i would i integrate into my learning system?
Can you plzz show it by applying it.
I have a lot of difficulty choosing keywords, could someone help me or give me some tips?

If we're supposed to do the 3rd Step (Schema Reorganization) once every 10-15 mins of studying....Wouldn't it be time consuming??
@@MsAldil do it mentally, quickly. It takes 2-3 mins but it's high return
Ok will do thanks @@jishajain7341
Is schema contruction basically like pre-study? Can someone help me with this question
Yes, the construction is the same, but schemas help us apply knowledge to new situations, whereas pre-study knowledge is task-specific. For instance, knowing a recipe (pre-study knowledge) helps you cook a specific dish, but understanding cooking principles (schema) enables you to adapt and create new recipes.
Yep spot on Nathaniel! You can start creating schemas during prestudy (and you should), but schemas never really “end”. Schema = knowledge. Prestudy is just a label we give for a step in the learning process.
Great use of analogies in your explanation by the way!
Please help me. I'm trying to study but my mind isnt focused at all. Even when i try to follow my routine and force myself to study i either end up just sleeping or my mind switches off while my eyes skim through the text. I need help. I didnt used to be like this. It started when i absolutely aced a test that my piers failed horribly. Please help me.
i wanted to sign in your newsletter but the educational stage part is bug and nothing happens when i click on it .i cant even type my educational stage.what should i do is it beacause of my vpn or anyone else has this problem?
Me listening and paying attention as i can knowing well am taking a study break of 10 mins..
I'll get my *three pillows* then...
(I misheard 'pillars' a bunch of times)
hey justin
I've always tried to have crystal clear concepts but during the exam time i tend to make very silly mistakes. The questions that entire class solved are a part of my silly mistake while the ones i solved are the ones no other ones could solve. the silly mistakes make my scores go down. please help
Hey, I'm really glad you mentioned this because silly mistakes can be very frustrating
One thing I've realised from coaching thousands of students is that silly mistakes are almost never silly mistakes, ESPECIALLY if it’s significant enough to cause a meaningful reduction in marks. It’s something I call Silly Mistake Syndrome. And so if you know the answer, you wouldn’t get it wrong (most of the time).
And so one thing I tell my students all the time is to assume every mistake is meaningful and indicates a gap in your knowledge or attention. Find where the gaps are. Just because an answer makes sense when you read an answer sheet doesn’t mean you knew it.
And I know this can be very challenging and frustrating, but it is important to stop telling yourself it’s a silly mistake and force yourself to evaluate your mistakes properly, and you’ll realise what the real problem is. As a result, this means you can get rid of any more silly mistakes in your future exams!
@@JustinSung thank you so much... your guidance means a lot
I always get 99 but my mom doesn't even happy 😢
Please someone do detail summary😢
The video is about creating your own schema (network) to help you retain the information better which leads to mastery.
How to:
1. Identify the Topic
2. Gather Relevant Information
3. Categorize the Information
4. Establish Relationships
5. Create Visual Representations
6. Review and Refine
Note: You have to do all these things to learn the topic because it will help you establish prior knowledge. Prior knowledge is an existing knowledge person already possesses before learning new information.
Tanks man@@nathanieljosephgutierrez
@nathanieljosephgutierrez bro can you define those three pillars also
The stages:
Read, read, and read again.
No secrets
No super powers
You only need to beleive in the process, the natural process.
As you go your reading in your field and any field you invested time (reading) will be smarter and smarter.
True there are no shortcuts.
By the end of your video I already forgot all the stuff you said in the video. Maybe just me
Can relate, that's why I make notes for almost every video that contains huge amount of info like this.
We want resume video that explains the techniques to be more efficient and motivated
Jesus loves you

This is an re-upload right? But why?
Can you leave out the music? It's distracting.
Why there is too much advertisement in education videos..
2nd comment😁 hurray
20 seconds 3 views...
Justin is falling...😢😢
No worry he will learn on his mistakes. 😂
@@PeterIntrovert I do think so..😅
U are just like smn who doesn't know what he is talking abt. unnecessary theories, do practice, dude
Justin, I don't want to offend you but you should try to stop talking about the same techniques, connections etc. You had been talking about it ever since you started, maybe from my perspective try to simplify your videos more and show what works and what doesn't most of your viewers want to feel that they can change something in their careers, what about field specific videos? Maybe one video about way of thinking for math, other for programming etc. we know general rules from your videos but you might do video on abstract thinking , analytical, logical and so on
Cheers bud ❤
Thanks for the comment! Yep I certainly do. My video on the two stages of reading should help you with that a lot! Here's the link for your convenience: ua-cam.com/video/okHkUIW46ks/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate hearing from viewers like you who are passionate about learning and want to see more varied content. If there’s enough interest in different kinds of videos, I’ll definitely make them!
One of my main goals has always been to help as many people as possible. Sometimes we spend 30-40 hours on a single video, and when it doesn’t reach the people who would benefit from it the most, it’s disappointing. UA-cam's algorithm tends to favour broader topics, so to ensure the content reaches those who need it, we have tried to approach things a certain way in the past.
That said, I’m constantly thinking of ways to deliver valuable content for long-time viewers who continue to support me. Even if it means taking a hit and putting out a video that doesn’t perform as well. Your feedback really helps shape what I do here, so thank you again for sharing. Cheers
Use AI 😂😂😂😂 simple…
Using AI prevents our brain from engaging with the content 🤦🤦🤦
@@Tstep45_qr who told you all these fun ideas 😂 If you want to pass exam and learn something easily….Use AI ….If you want to struggle use some other methods 😂😂….At the end time and peace matters..
Your techniques do not work
👁👄👁
Um
U sure about that.A lot of them actaully works when u apply it
@msrj899 I doubted about it for some time, just because I didn't understand the process yet. The moment that I started using it, I did get slower and messy, but as soon as the process became familiar, my results in difficult tests improved way more than I expected. For about 15% at first. Now I do know there is room for improvement. I started to do more and more questions after the schema, using interleaving, and get from 60%, when I started this whole process, to 85%-90%. The more you get about the process, the faster it goes. So, that works for me.
If you're looking for a quick fix then yeah it won't work 😂
On the reorganizing schema part, I find it a challenge to reorganize the thinking and mental map of concepts and ideas when they have already been quickly formed in the earlier stages. Not sure if it is the same to others but I felt this process is slow because of unlearning and learning a reorganized schema in the mind that makes it slow and battling the sense of complacency and dependence on the draft schema that we had created. Any suggestions on how we may overcome that?
How did you know 😀🤍
