What happened?

Narrated psychology explainers claiming fast learners rely on habits and thinking patterns rather than raw talent are drawing huge audiences. The format promises viewers a way to learn faster than the people around them, which keeps pulling in self-improvement watchers. Multiple channels are running near identical angles on learning speed and intelligence.

  1. Don't just read, try to remember what you just read 2. Practice remembering what you learned a few days before without reading 3. Mix what you learn, do not learn in blocks 4. Explain what you learned without source 5. Connect what you have to learn with other info you already know

  Summary: Instead of re reading/repeating what you already know many times back to back, test yourself after already being able to recall the info once. Write or say out loud what you remember, and explain it in plain language as if explaining it to someone who knows nothing about it, you will remember/understand less that you think. What ever you don’t remember, or can’t explain using your own understanding, that’s the part to go back to until you can, then wait until it’s memory starts to fade, not when it’s still fresh or not when it’s completely forgotten, then try to retrieve the info, then wait again, etc, and you will be able to understand and retrieve it better and longer. Connect/attach the info to existing categories you already know or to a bigger picture, vs trying to remember several small separate pieces, and alternate learning different subjects vs just math or biology

  WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS VIDEO 1. Retrieval of information allows for better recall than reviewing information. 2. The harder it is to remember the more likely it is that the memory will last. 3. The longer the period between study and attempts to recall information the stronger will be the memory if you do recall. 4. The key to better recall is not to study longer but to test what you have learned.

  Sometimes the distance between the life you have and the life you imagine is just one decision: START.

  approach that works for me learning languages: constantly switch between tools and methods, like shadowing, passive listening, watch stuff with subtitles, watch stuff without subtitles, talk to chat gpt (switch between male and female voices), ask chatgpt to gen me quizzes, use google translate live to translate stranger convo into the language i'm learning, vibe code my own quiz app... basically stimulate my brain by having things come in different formats and contexts. the more varied and the more unstructured the better. although to be fair, I feel the most important skill is how to keep yourself interested.
