I've been a learning coach for over a decade
2
and in this video I'm going to give you a 12 -month blueprint to become a genius.
3
So let's start with month number one.
4
The first month is called discovery.
5
So we can divide the first month into two phases.
6
The first phase which can take one to two weeks.
7
This is about understanding where our goal post even is.
8
You can't become a genius if you don't even know what a genius means.
9
And the difference between just a hard worker and a genius is that a hard worker is able to work hard.
10
They can study more.
11
They're able to do long hours.
12
The genius doesn't need to do that.
13
They don't need to study more because they're fine with the workload.
14
Their method for tackling this workload is effective and efficient enough that they don't need to compensate with more time.
15
They're not struggling with their focus and their concentration so they don't need to study for longer hours.
16
The reason that a genius feels like hard to relate to is
17
because a genius is thinking and studying and doing things in a very different way.
18
For the same amount of time and effort that an average person puts in,
19
they seem to be able to transform that into a result that is untouchable by an average person.
20
And so the way that we become a genius ourselves is not to just put in more time and effort.
21
It is to think about what can we do that converts
22
that time and effort and amplifies it much more than what we're doing now.
23
So in this first phase of the first month,
24
we need to spend a bit of time to learn about what the processes are that a genius uses.
25
These become our goals.
26
And to help you with this, I'll tell you, there are three things that a genius is able to do that average people really struggle with.
27
The first one is having a high retention of new information that they learn.
28
The second thing is having a high mastery of what they learn.
29
So for example, you can have a really high retention, great memory on something but if you can only regurgitate facts,
30
that's a very low level of mastery compared to being able to solve really complex problems.
31
A genius can do both, high retention and high mastery.
32
And the third thing is they can do that with time efficiency.
33
And so now that we've got our goal in this first phase, it completely reshapes the way that we think about improving.
34
It's no longer about how can I study more, how can I study longer?
35
We're saying we're already studying enough.
36
The question is, how do we keep the time and effort the same, but increase our retention, our mastery, and our time efficiency?
37
And then once you have that, we can move into the second phase of the first month, which takes another two weeks.
38
And here we want to figure out our current status.
39
The purpose of this stage is to figure out our current position relative to the goal.
40
So how good are we in terms of our retention?
41
How good is our current level of mastery?
42
How good is our current level of time efficiency?
43
We know the goal.
44
We need to see how far away we are from hitting that goal.
45
So let's say we think our retention and our mastery and our time efficiency are terrible.
46
Justin why does it take two weeks to do this instead of like two seconds?
47
That's because if you're bad at it
48
Just knowing that you're bad is not enough.
49
You have to also know why you are bad at it
50
One of my favorite questions to ask when I do workshops is I tell everyone to draw their current learning flow
51
The way you do this is you just trace the path of a single piece of information
52
So let's say you learn something new on a monday.
53
What are you doing?
54
Like did you do anything before?
55
What are you thinking about?
56
How are you writing your notes as you learn that?
57
What are you doing immediately after?
58
What are you doing the day after?
59
What are you doing the week after?
60
And why, why, why for every single step?
61
When I ask this question, the reason I like it is that most people have never consciously thought about what they do with new information.
62
Their learning flow is just like information comes in.
63
I just like think about it and then I just study and that's it.
64
And so the reason it takes two weeks is
65
that it takes time to start building awareness about what your own processes and your own thinking habits are.
66
What I consistently see with the students I coach is
67
that the hardest part by far of improving your learning ability and becoming this genius is not learning new techniques.
68
It is becoming aware of and then unlearning old habits.
69
In learning science, this whole concept I'm talking about now of becoming aware of your own process
70
and why you do things and how effective they are, this is called metacognition.
71
And the research strongly shows it is one of the most crucial ingredients to improve your learning.
72
So how do you actually develop metacognition and develop this awareness so that you can start upgrading?
73
Well, there's two ways you can do this.
74
There's a fast way and a long way, and you should actually do both.
75
The long way is to reflect and reflect often.
76
If you want to become a better learner, you have to get comfortable with reflecting.
77
Trying to improve without reflecting is like trying to look better without a mirror.
78
It's why a reflection technique is actually one of the first techniques I teach in my program.
79
And I'm going to give you a simplified version of that technique that you can use straight away.
80
I call it the what, how, why, now what.
81
The first what is you write down what you actually did.
82
So let's say that you're reflecting on a study session where you wrote a bunch of notes.
83
So the what you did is writing notes on a certain subject.
84
The two is how.
85
How did you write these notes?
86
Be very, very specific with a technique that you use.
87
Almost think about creating like an instruction manual so
88
that someone could just follow it exactly and do exactly the same thing you did.
89
The third is why this is the meaty part here's where
90
the value starts coming in think about why you did the technique in the way
91
that you did it what was your rationale and
92
when you do this often you'll realize you didn't even have a rationale you just did it
93
because it's what you're used to sometimes the reason you do things is in response to a difficulty
94
or a challenge you face while studying so note
95
that down how do you tend to respond to certain types of difficulties and challenges.
96
This is how you discover your current habits.
97
And the fourth thing is now what?
98
We look at the what and how we did.
99
We evaluate the why we did it and ask ourselves, is there a way that I could potentially make this better for next time?
100
You come up with just one or two changes that you could make and then you run that as an experiment.
101
After you run that experiment, you go back from the beginning and reflect on it.
102
What did you do?
103
How did you do it?
104
Why did you do it and then you create the next experiment.
105
It's an infinite cycle of improvement.
106
I kid you not, between the ages of 18 to 22, I did this process for my own learning thousands of times.
107
It is without a doubt one of the biggest reasons
108
I was able to improve my learning efficiency as much as I did
109
and go from studying 20 hours a day to less than 20 hours a week.
110
In fact, you guys have it really easy because this first month of discovery, this took me like three years to do,
111
but it's about to get even easier because this is the long way.
112
And then the fast way, which you should start with is taking my free quiz.
113
So I've created a quiz that assesses you on your current learning system
114
and points out certain things that may be critical habits.
115
The quiz is free to do.
116
And then at the end, you get a personalized report on the things that it notices based on the questions that asks you.
117
So if you start off by doing this quiz, then not only do you get a great list of things to start working on,
118
but also teaches you how to think about your learning, which means when you do your reflection, you can be a lot more targeted,
119
have better ideas, and you know what to pay attention to.
120
The quiz is free to do.
121
It's called a learning system diagnostic, and you can check out the description for a link.
122
And I want to say that by the end of your first month,
123
you will probably already feel so much more confident in control of your learning.
124
I've had people do this for even just one week
125
and then DM me saying that they have a huge list of things
126
that they have realized that they need to improve on because they've just learned so much about how they learn.
127
And once you get to that point, at the end of your first month where you know what you need to work on
128
and you know what you're currently doing, you're ready for month number two.
129
Month number two is all about making high yield changes.
130
One thing you'll realize after doing the first month is that there are so many things that you could do better.
131
There are so many things that you can optimize.
132
Where do you even start?
133
And once you feel that, I want you to remember this.
134
The fastest path to improvement is by picking the fastest path.
135
And this is important because when it comes to learning to learn,
136
the thing you should start working on first is usually not the thing that's going to make the biggest overall difference.
137
One of my students recently made this mistake, so I want to explain this properly.
138
As you go through your first month of discovery
139
and you're learning about the processes that create good retention and deeper mastery and more time efficiency, one of the things you'll realize,
140
and I talk about this a lot, the way that you process
141
and think about information the first time you learn it has a strong influence on how sticky
142
that memory becomes and how deeply you understand it.
143
When you think about it deeply and you process it deeply, that memory becomes stickier.
144
This is the process called encoding.
145
It's the act of taking new information and putting it into our long -term memory.
146
That's called encoding.
147
If you can do encoding really, really well, your attention is better.
148
Your mastery is deeper.
149
And because you're not wasting time on relearning things, your time efficiency goes up by a lot.
150
So if we could point to just one thing to be amazingly good at it would be encoding
151
that is the thing that is going to make the biggest difference to your overall learning ability
152
and in fact when we look at a genius
153
that is the thing that they have
154
that we notice they can just learn something the first time hold on to it understand it really really deeply
155
and they do it in little to no time And encoding...
156
is not the first thing that you should work on improving because it is not the fastest path to improvement.
157
The reason is because to become a really good encoder and to train your processing ability to get all those benefits,
158
it takes time.
159
These are habits that we have to unlearn and then relearn.
160
And so in my experience coaching,
161
I've realized that there are four things that make something a good high yield change to work on in month number two.
162
The first thing is rate limiters.
163
A rate limiter is basically the thing that holds you back the most.
164
So if you imagine like a wooden barrel made of wooden planks and one of these planks is broken in half.
165
You try to fill this barrel up with water or the water is just going to leak out through that broken plank.
166
It doesn't matter how nice all the other planks around this barrel are.
167
If that one is broken, water is going to come out there.
168
That's the rate limiter.
169
And anything you identify during your first month of discovery
170
that you see as a rate limiter is going to be a high yield change
171
because it means as soon as you improve it, everything else that it has been holding back gets better as well.
172
For most students that I work with, this rate limiter is procrastination.
173
It does not matter how well you can study
174
and how good you can encode information or whatever you're doing
175
if you procrastinate so much that you can never really sit down to follow a schedule
176
and get stuff done in the first place, it doesn't matter.
177
For some people, it's stress or mental health.
178
I've had a lot of students who are really, really focused on improving their learning skills, but they're so nervous and anxious about it.
179
And the act of studying creates so much mental distress that they can never really concentrate.
180
In this case, the mental health becomes the rate limiter.
181
Working on the rate limiter is the tide that lifts all boats
182
and it's not actually worth working on other things until that rate limiter is solved.
183
The second criteria for something that makes a great high yield change is things that have a low lead time.
184
Lead time is basically a term for how long it takes for something to manifest.
185
So in something like medicine, cancer often has a long lead time because you can have cancer for a very,
186
very long time before you even start to notice any signs or symptoms.
187
By the time it's diagnosed, it may have already been months, as opposed to, for example,
188
getting hit in the face with a baseball bat where the lead time is like zero.
189
As soon as it makes contact with your face, you know something is wrong.
190
For learning to learn, there are certain techniques and strategies that have a very low lead time in terms of providing you benefit.
191
So encoding has a very long lead time.
192
You have to spend weeks, maybe months,
193
unlearning habits and learning new habits for your encoding skills to be high enough for it to really solve your problems.
194
On the other hand, retrieval strategies, things that use active recall, using flashcards if you're not using flashcards,
195
doing interleaving if you're not doing interleaving, doing something like pre -study,
196
these things produce an immediate benefit because the skill requirement is not very high.
197
You could start using it tomorrow and gain a benefit from it tomorrow.
198
You want to work on these quick wins first so
199
that you have a little bit more time
200
and space to work on the really high impact things like encoding that take time.
201
The third type of high yield change is an incremental change.
202
An incremental change is taking something
203
that might normally have a long lead time, i .e it takes a long time for you to get benefit from it,
204
and you break that up into smaller components so you can start getting value from it earlier on.
205
One example is with note taking.
206
If you want to get to great encoding, you need to know how to think relationally, create schemas, group, evaluate, categorize, create flows
207
and you have to be able to do this quickly that's very difficult to do off the bat
208
so in a lot of my videos
209
i teach people to go from just linear note taking like they normally do
210
and just start making tiny little mind maps within their notes
211
it's not giving you the full benefit of the perfect version of the technique
212
but allows you to familiarize yourself with the technique and break up this huge process into smaller chunks.
213
In my program, one of the early major techniques that I teach is interleaved retrieval.
214
The reason is that when you teach someone to test themselves at a high level, which is what you should do in interleaved retrieval,
215
then you actually familiarize that person with a type of thinking pattern that they one day need to generate themselves.
216
It is easier to test someone at a high level
217
and force their brain to think at a high level than it is to tell someone to just think at
218
that level to begin with.
219
So if someone's used to testing themselves at this high level, and therefore they're used to thinking at this high level,
220
then one day when they try to encode at that level, it's much easier.
221
And the fourth and final high yield type of change is a priority change.
222
One of the most common reasons people will never make it past month one
223
or month two is because they don't have enough time to commit to improvement.
224
And sometimes we're just so busy trying to stay on top of the problems we have
225
that we don't have enough time to actually fix the problems in the first place.
226
But if we don't fix the problem, we are dooming ourselves to repeat that problem.
227
And that situation usually means we have to reevaluate our priorities.
228
Now, if you've been following along, you probably realize that there's a lot of stuff to do in month number two.
229
And you're right, which is why there's not just month number two.
230
This is month two and three.
231
At the beginning of month two, you will have an awareness of what you are doing and what you can improve on.
232
And then towards the end of month number three, you have a foundation of high yield changes.
233
Your rate limiters have been addressed.
234
You not only have an awareness of what you're doing and what can be fixed, you also have experience actively trying to fix them.
235
And frankly, for most people, even just at this point, it's enough for them to reach their current learning goal.
236
The problems that they've been struggling with maybe for years can be fixed by this point.
237
But if it's not enough, or if our goal requires even more than that, then we move on to the next few months,
238
which is months 4, 5, and 6.
239
These months are called cognitive growth.
240
You remember how I said that the thing that makes the biggest difference isn't the thing that you should work on first?
241
Now it's time to work on those things.
242
This is the path of becoming the genius.
243
These are also the months where most people are likely to give up because cognitive growth is not comfortable.
244
In fact, it's impossible for cognitive growth to be comfortable because Because the primary activity that creates growth during these months,
245
what we are focusing on is pushing our comfort zone.
246
Here's what I mean.
247
Let's say we've got our existing current habits of learning.
248
These are the ways of learning that we're used to.
249
These are the things that feel easy and comfortable for us.
250
Our current habits form our current comfort zone.
251
Now obviously, if we want to become a genius, we need a different set of habits.
252
We need a set of habits that are going to help us to lock in a greater retention,
253
mastery, and time efficiency than we're able to achieve right now.
254
And so by definition, these new habits that we need to form are going to be new and different to what we are used to.
255
So we can say that the things that exist out here, outside of our comfort zone, this is the learning zone.
256
We are learning something new.
257
So why does this make people give up?
258
Because as we go into the learning zone, we also pass through something in the middle called the fear zone.
259
And the further we get from comfort, the greater the fear becomes.
260
The reason is because there is a higher level of uncertainty.
261
As things become less familiar, the level of uncertainty goes up.
262
If I sat you down
263
and then I just laid out like an entire learning system of every single technique
264
that you need to do in exactly the right way, first of all, would be sitting for a very long time.
265
Secondly, unless you've had a lot of training, that's going to be very difficult for you to perform because you're just not used to it.
266
In other words, the uncertainty is very high.
267
What if I do this and it doesn't work?
268
What if I make this mistake or that mistake?
269
And so there is an innate risk and uncertainty with trying something
270
that is new because anything that is new carries with it the risk of failure.
271
And so the journey through months four, five and six, you may think
272
that this is where you're learning like all these new different techniques and every single week you're trying a new technique,
273
but it's not like that at all what it really is is
274
that you can learn all the techniques you need to get good at in like 45 minutes
275
and for the entire three months all you're doing is just getting more
276
and more used to reaching the higher levels of
277
that technique i can give you an example right now let's say
278
that you have a list of 20 words you need to learn
279
and understand level one technique might be to just try to memorize and understand it.
280
Level 2 is look for similarities between those words.
281
Level three is group the words based on those similarities.
282
Level four is rate those words out of 10 based on how important
283
you think they are in the context of the topic.
284
Level five is try to find different types of similarities to group them
285
and then rate the types of groups based on which grouping method you think is the most accurate or most important.
286
Level six is decide on a grouping pattern that you feel is the most important and then connect the groups together.
287
Level seven is think of a different way to group them
288
and connect them together and compare how accurate and important your first grouping pattern is compared to your second.
289
Level eight is to try to simplify that, group the groups and then connect the mega groups to each other.
290
So you can see that if you're used to thinking at level one
291
and everything you learn is just try to remember it, try to remember it, try to understand it.
292
And you're suddenly now starting to go to, okay, not only am I just trying to understand it,
293
but I'm simultaneously comparing it with everything else that I've learned and the information that I already have.
294
Creating groupings, thinking about alternative groupings, connecting the groupings together,
295
creating a flow out of those groupings and comparing that with a different type of flow and then simplifying it.
296
That's a lot more activity that goes on mentally.
297
And that could be like eight levels of essentially one processing technique.
298
And so every few days, every week during these months four,
299
five, and six, you are constantly pushing your current habits through the sphere zone into a more uncertain new method of processing.
300
Eventually getting to, in that example, like a level eight and being able to do
301
that more comfortably until that becomes a habit and forms your new bigger comfort zone.
302
And so during these months there are two indicators that you are progressing.
303
At the beginning of month four you're just trying to probe the edges of the comfort zone.
304
You're trying new things that are a little uncertain
305
and you're trying to get your brain to process information in a way that you're not used to.
306
And by month six the progress you've made is that you're not just probing towards the edge of your comfort zone,
307
you are able to thrive in uncertainty.
308
You have no problem with making mistakes.
309
You have no problem with trying a new technique.
310
You're so used to trying new things and expanding your comfort zone that the fear zone has evaporated.
311
There is only comfort versus learning.
312
And as a result of that learning, the other progress you make by the end of month six is
313
that your natural processing speed should be noticeably higher than it was before
314
and what this means is that for the same amount of time
315
and effort you are able to create a much higher level of retention
316
and mastery with information
317
that you're learning for the first time
318
you are seeing the light of what it means to have become the genius and
319
if you've made it through to the end of month six
320
then the rest of the months become honestly much easier month seven eight
321
and nine become about unlocking speed
322
and here's the secret to being a really fast learner is
323
that learning slow is learning fast there's no point being a fast learner if your quality is terrible,
324
if you're making mistakes and errors all over the place.
325
You can't just be fast, you also have to be accurate and effective.
326
And so to become a meaningfully fast learner, you first actually need to have accuracy.
327
For most learners, the high level of mastery or retention is not something they can reach even by doubling
328
or tripling the amount of time they spend.
329
It's like expecting a poor quality machine to produce a really high quality product just by running the machine for longer.
330
The quality of the output is determined by the quality of the process.
331
And so for most people that are in month number one or month zero, the quality of the process is usually all over the place.
332
So even if they spend more time studying and learning, the quality and the mastery, the depth of understanding doesn't grow significantly.
333
This is why you can have some people that spend hours
334
and hours and hours trying to learn something
335
and then someone else can spend a tenth of that time and gain a deeper understanding of the topic.
336
By month six, the beginning of month seven, what we're aiming to do is unlock accuracy.
337
We are now able to hit that top level.
338
The genius level that seemed unreachable, yeah, by this point we can hit that.
339
We're not fast at it, it's not graceful, but we can get there.
340
And once we've unlocked accuracy, we can then unlock consistency.
341
So it's not just that we can hit it for one topic sometimes.
342
It means now we can hit it for every topic and every subject, even when we're busy, even when we're tired.
343
We can still hit that standard.
344
And what naturally happens once we have consistency unlocked is
345
that this technique that we have been training so hard for so long becomes a new habit.
346
And when it becomes a new habit, our brain is able to do it much more easily and much more quickly.
347
The speed comes automatically.
348
This is why slow learning is fast.
349
When you focus on doing it slowly and properly, the speed comes without you even trying to be faster.
350
And I see students make this mistake all the time.
351
They're so focused on just trying to get faster without having the accuracy and the consistency.
352
But what's the point of going faster
353
if you're just creating more work for yourself later through all the gaps that you're leaving behind?
354
That's not getting faster.
355
That's called rushing.
356
The only way to learn faster is for your brain to find it easier to do the learning.
357
And that happens by creating new habits.
358
By the end of month number nine,
359
you've given birth to a bunch of new habits and you're ready for the true genius levels of months 10,
360
11, and 12.
361
These months are about adaptability.
362
When I was going through medical school, I went from studying 20 hours a day to 10 hours a week
363
and then entering into hospitals as a fourth year medical student, failing my first run because I realized the way
364
that I was studying was geared too much for exams
365
and not real life practice reworking my entire learning system having
366
to then go back to studying like six seven hours a day on top of clinical placements
367
and then dropping back down to like three four hours a week
368
and then working full -time while going through medical school
369
so my journey of becoming a better learner has been constantly up
370
and down and it's only in the last like five years
371
that it's been very stable and there are not many optimizations I need to make anymore.
372
So even though at the end of month number nine, you got these habits of being able to hit that high retention,
373
high mastery and time efficiency, like you achieved it, like you became the genius.
374
What else is left for you?
375
What's left is that you now need to be able to do
376
that and have these habits carry you forward even when the challenges get harder.
377
How you can perform on a good day needs to become your baseline on a bad day.
378
And so how do you do this?
379
You actually just go back to month number one.
380
You've now got a whole new set of habits.
381
You're a different person at this point.
382
So go through, figure out what's your next set of goals?
383
What does it mean for you now, your new self, to be even better?
384
What is your current status?
385
And then if you go through this exact flow all over again, what are the new high yield changes?
386
You'll realize there are different rate limiters.
387
There are different high yield changes you can make.
388
Your foundation can get even stronger and a whole new set of habits can be built.
389
And by continuing this cycle, this is how you not only just become a genius, but you stay a genius.
390
You create a gap between you and who you used to be and that gap continually widens.
391
And by following this, this is what gives you the confidence to know
392
that you can go into any room and you can learn anything
393
and you will be able to perform at the level you need to perform no matter what the challenges are and
394
if you're looking for an easier way to do this my program at icanside .com is actually built around
395
this very structure it's a blueprint that i've used for myself
396
and for thousands of students that i've coached
397
and we're sharing it with you i hope it can help you too thanks for watching
398
and i'll see you in the next one

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
