How To Learn Things FAST

In this video I go through techniques on how to self study quickly!

It's about learning, coding, and generally how to get your sh*t together c:

It's a FREE weekly 1hr livestream about AI & tech topics eg. how to build a GPT, how to build AI products, jobs in the era of AI etc.

Check it out if you're interested in learning AI & data skill, then applying them to real freelance projects!

writing this for myself.

1. increase physiological arousal
  ⠀ (move around)
2. induce panic
  ⠀ (set deadlines)
3. set an emotional response
  ⠀ (build a sense of purpose. you can transform learning material into a story)
4. regenerate dopamine
  ⠀ (doing nothing/freaking out/doing something you hate)
5. decrease motivation needed to get started
  ⠀ (using AI to get the first draft so you have something to start working on)
6. using different methods to learn the same thing
  ⠀ (auditory, visual, etc.)
7. construct memory links
  ⠀ (associate new material with existing information/memories. e.g. mind maps. ChatMind AI)
8. AI tools to use:
  ⠀ Speechify, InVideo, HubSpot,

1. Increase physiological arousal
(Move your body)
2. Induce panic
(Set deadlines, study group)
3. Generate an emotional response
(Find a reason to study, )
4. Generate Dopamine
(jDo something you dont like, cold showers, hard quiz)
5. Decrease motivation needed to start
(Chat GPT)
6. Combat the forgetting curve
(Revisit old topics for long term memorization. Flash Cards, Quizlet. Anki etc.)
7. Learn the same thing using different methods/techniques
(Learn a topic via: reading, doing, watching)
8. Connect different ideas/memories using a mindmap
(Chatmind)
9. Discover what type of learner you are
(Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic)

This extremely helped me: you need a complete distinction between your studying and relaxing routine. For example, I'm using two browsers. One is for study content. PURELY studying, not the Jordan Huberman's stoic videos. I even have two google accounts to avoid trash content pop up on my study account recommendation (I push "Don't recommend cahnnel" if I see this). The second one is for relaxing content. You need to somehow limit any access to anything that distracts you. Like go studying in library (not at home). While in a library put your phone in your bag (not on your table) etc. More limitations you have, the better result is. Basicaly it feels like you have no choice but studying.

However, i'd avoid studying really fast (unless you're revising for exams). There was a time when I used to read almost every day, while usually I read only once a week. There was a huge difference in results. I almost forgot the book I was reading every day. Even revising didn't help. You either slow down, or focus on some other things instead. There should be a gap between studying if you want to remember anything.

This is pretty useful for someone looking to study again with a full time job!

[txreal]

No wonder I couldn’t remember much in college; I was going to class sober. Wish I had known the study drunk method. But now I can’t go to work drunk.

Queen of procrastination? Darling i am the emperor of procrastination, I am above Ceasar, I am above Napolean, I am better than Genghis in regards to procrastination

[Indiachamberss]

This entire video was meant for me I really needed this and I appreciate you making a video for all the people like me that feel like they are stupid when really not everyone learns the same way and I like how you said it in such a kind manner instead of saying it in a mean way omg this was literally so pure and kind definitely subscribing and I will definitely use these methods and see how they work for me btw your not the only one that needs every single one of these methods but its nothing wrong with that because that's why you created this video to help people who are going through the same things you went through that's why we all have our own journeys in life because sometimes they can help other ppl dealing with the same thing.💗

[dictater]

This is actually my new guide to studying

[neoxochitl]

I appreciate you so much. As someone with adhd I need routines and deadlines or else I’m a huge mess.

[creatively_random]

My adhd and autistic self quickly realizing this video is not for me 💀

[heartoffire]

All I remembered from the pop quiz was something about portions. Lol one of the things that made learning tough before was similar to what you mentioned in your experiences. If you have a lapse in concentration and miss something or simply didn't hear it, you're trapped in the time bubble that follows where you can't go back and check so you have literally no understanding of everything that follows and the entire lesson is wasted. Plus you are also now demotivated because you feel completely lost and left behind.

[steveheyden]

Yes, I also have all the problems. Thank you for this

[spaghettilord]

Getting my bachelors in Information Technology, Thanks Tina!

I majored in Cognitive Science. Your statement of short term memory is correct. People usually have misconception about short term memory, it actually only last for 20-30 seconds. Here is the googled definition: Short-term memory (STM), also referred to as short-term storage, or primary or active memory indicates different systems of memory involved in the retention of pieces of information (memory chunks) for a relatively short time (usually up to 30 seconds).

[ShubhangiMishra-wldw]

Things I learned that will work for me are
First is that whatever information I m supposed to take I associate it with the memory and knowledge I already have .
Then if I have to remember it I have to use different methods to do so, removing from my mind that I m dumb and can’t remember it. Different methods includes trying to learn by listening audios, making videos for it or using anke for spaced repetition.
Also have to remember that procrastination can be overcomed using dopamine boost method, where I can spike up my dopamine levels by doing an unlikely task, which for me is organizing my room and doing workout also some days talking to people .

It is very useful for me, will improve my studies applying then all, thank uh so much❤

[the_xr_lab]

Thank you for doing this. My process of learning is similar and I’ve faced many of the same problems, but without any supporting understanding of the why and how it works. Your explanation makes a lot of sense and I feel empowered to take more control. I’ve been told to “eat the frog” when completing daily tasks, but there was no explanation of why it worked, your solution to take the cold shower to reduce dopamine makes a lot of sense and lowers the barrier required to get a reward from the following task. This also explains why looking at my phone in the morning breaks my flow as my dopamine level is then set too high and any following task is unsatisfying. You’ve provided a number of tools I need to review and try for myself, thanks again for sharing.

Create template (ChatGPT)
Periodically review (1st day, then 5th day go back later)
Move (review while walking etc)

[farzinnasiri]

I watched alot of your videos today. It is very intresting how similar we are in terms of our personalities and the path we took in life( I study in a top ranking university and have worked almost all of my Bsc and Msc as a full time software engineer). Your opinions and methods really resonated, I have also discovred these solutions by myself through the years. Recently I forget my own ways and needed a reminder. It feels good that there are other people exactly like me out there

[petesky]

hi Tina, brings us a video about: how to summarize books by dropping a pdf file into chatgpt and get the key points from the book when you don't have much time to read or you simply don't want to read it all.

[ltgmyer]

I swear to God I have all kinds of problems. Especially the problem of not focusing on anything AT ALL. I found this very useful and rather interesting because of all the facts about how our brain works.
Thanks a lot. You're a lifesaver.
