1
I've spent hours studying, then gone to use it two weeks later and drawn a complete blank.
2
For a long time, I thought that was just how my brain worked.
3
Like, maybe I'm just not the kind of person who retains things well.
4
Turns out it wasn't me.
5
It was the method I was using to study.
6
I'm a senior applied scientist at Amazon.
7
I came from a non-tech background and taught myself most of the skills that got me where I am today.
8
And I've mentored almost 200 people into AI and machine learning roles.
9
So I've watched this play out hundreds of times.
10
They're putting in the hours, doing the courses, and when it actually matters.
11
In an interview, on the job, or when someone asks them to explain a concept they studied last month, it's gone.
12
The problem isn't effort.
13
It's that most of us were never taught how learning actually works.
14
So I'm going to show you the system I use to retain what I study.
15
It's backed by cognitive science, and most of it goes against what feels productive, which is exactly why it works.
16
The first thing I changed was how I reviewed material.
17
I used to reread.
18
That was my whole strategy.
19
Go through the notes again, go through the documentation again, maybe highlight some stuff.
20
And it felt productive.
21
After a couple of passes, the material starts to feel familiar.
22
But here's the thing.
23
There's a well-documented phenomenon in cognitive science called the fluency illusion.
24
Your brain recognizes familiar material and mistakes that recognition for actual knowledge.
25
You're not learning.
26
You're pattern matching.
27
You see something you've seen before and your brain goes, oh yeah, I've got this.
28
But recognition and retrieval are completely different cognitive processes.
29
and the one that matters on the job, for an exam, in an interview, when you actually try to apply something.
30
That's retrieval.
31
So here's the fix.
32
After you study something, close everything.
33
Close the docs, tutorial, your notes, and try to remember what you just learned from scratch.
34
Write it down, say it out loud, whatever works.
35
The point is that you're pulling it from memory, not looking at it again.
36
This is called active recall, and it's one of the most impactful changes you can make.
37
This isn't just my opinion.
38
Research shows that students who test themselves retain roughly 80% of the material after a week, compared to about 34% for those who just reread.
39
The reason it works is that retrieving information strengthens the neural pathways associated with it.
40
Rereading strengthens recognition.
41
Retrieval strengthens recall.
42
And those are not the same thing.
43
I know it feels harder.
44
And that's actually the point.
45
The difficulty is what makes it work.
46
Now here's the part that really surprised me when I dug into the research.
47
You don't even have to know anything yet for this to help.
48
There's a technique called pre-testing, basically quizzing yourself on material before you've even learned it.
49
Of course, you'll get the answers wrong.
50
That's fine, that's kind of the point.
51
A 2025 study in memory and cognition confirmed what earlier research suggested.
52
Attempting to answer a question before you know the answer primes your brain to encode the correct answer more deeply
53
when you encounter it later.
54
Think about what that means for how you approach a new course or a new topic.
55
Before you watch the lecture on, say, gradient descent, try to explain to yourself what you think it is.
56
You'll probably be wrong, but when the actual explanation hits, your brain is already primed to absorb it because you've created a gap it wants to fill.
57
So the system isn't as simple as just test yourself after.
58
It's test yourself before and after.
59
Bookend every learning session with retrieval even when you don't know anything yet.
60
But there's another step that's really important to make this work.
61
Let's say you start doing active recall.
62
You can actually pull the material from memory without looking at your notes.
63
You feel good.
64
But two weeks later, it's gone.
65
And this is where a lot of people get frustrated because they did the work.
66
They studied correctly, they tested themselves, and they still forgot most of it.
67
Ebbinghaus mapped this out in the 1800s.
68
It's called the forgetting curve.
69
And what it shows is very sad.
70
Without review, you lose roughly 80% of new information within 48 hours.
71
It doesn't matter how well you learned it in the moment.
72
One strong study session is not enough.
73
This is why people finish a course and three months later it's like they never took it.
74
One exposure, even a really good one, doesn't create durable memory.
75
The solution here is spaced repetition, or reviewing at expanding intervals.
76
You review the material one day after learning it, then three days after learning it, then a week, two weeks, and so on.
77
Each time you retrieve, you push the forgetting curve further out.
78
The intervals get longer because the memory gets stronger.
79
A meta-analysis found that combining spaced repetition with active recall improves outcomes by about 25% more than using either strategy alone.
80
So these first two methods aren't just additive, they compound.
81
The key thing is that spaced repetition doesn't actually require more time, just different timing.
82
Instead of one four hour study block, try doing four shorter sessions spread out over two weeks for example.
83
Now spacing out these review sessions means you're studying a lot, and if you're like me, you're not always doing it at home.
84
I do a lot of my deep work at coffee shops, on flights, or killing time before appointments.
85
And every one of those places has the same problem.
86
You're on public Wi-Fi.
87
Here's the thing many people don't think about.
88
When you're connected to a cafe's network or an airport hotspot, your traffic is exposed.
89
Anyone on that same network can potentially see what you're doing.
90
The sites you're visiting, the credentials you're entering, and the data you're sending.
91
And if you're logging into course platforms, your email, GitHub, whatever, that's information that you don't want intercepted.
92
Surfshark is the VPN I use.
93
It encrypts everything between your device and the internet, so even on a completely open network, your data stays private.
94
I just connect before I open anything and forget about it.
95
They also just released a web content blocker that strips out ads and trackers while you browse, which I love for study sessions.
96
Fewer distractions, cleaner pages, and one less thing pulling my focus when I'm trying to stay in a review session.
97
Go to surfshark.com forward slash Marina VPN or use the code Marina VPN at checkout to get four extra months.
98
There's a 30 day money back guarantee, so no risk to try it.
99
The link's in the description.
100
All right, back to the system.
101
Before I get to the third method, which is the one that makes the biggest difference for me personally, there's one more trap I want to flag because it's related to everything we just talked about.
102
Most people study topics in blocks, like a week or two on a given topic before they move on to a completely new topic.
103
But the research says this is another fluency illusion.
104
When researchers compared block study against interleaved study, where you shuffle topics instead of doing them in neat little blocks,
105
the interleaved group scored 63% on a delayed test versus 20% for the blocked group.
106
But weirdly, during practice, the blocked study group felt like they were learning better.
107
Your subjective sense of, I'm getting this, is lying to you.
108
Again, interleaving works because it forces your brain to constantly identify which concept applies and how it differs from the last one.
109
That's the kind of thinking you actually need in an interview or on the job.
110
Not, I studied neural networks for three hours straight, but given this problem, which approach is the right one?
111
I'm not saying you need to overhaul your whole study plan around this, but when you're doing those spaced review sessions, mix the topics up.
112
And while you're at it, there's one more tip I have to make everything stick.
113
This is the one that feels the strangest, but it's the one that consistently produces the best retention for me.
114
I walk around and talk to myself out loud about the topic.
115
Like actually out loud, like I'm explaining it to someone who isn't there.
116
I know that sounds ridiculous, but hear me out because this is the part of my system that I think most people have never tried, and it changes everything.
117
Most studying is passive and single channel.
118
You're sitting, reading, maybe typing.
119
There's only one input mode.
120
But the brain encodes information more deeply when multiple systems are engaged simultaneously.
121
This is called dual coding and it's backed by a solid body of research on embodied cognition.
122
Here's why the walk and talk works.
123
When you're walking, your motor cortex is active.
124
Movement creates a different physiological state than sitting, and that state affects how information is encoded.
125
When you're speaking, you're forcing yourself to organize information into language.
126
And this is where it gets fun and slightly painful because you can't explain something out loud without actually understanding it.
127
When you try, the gaps become obvious immediately.
128
You'll be going along fine and then suddenly stumble on a part you thought you understood but can't actually articulate.
129
That's the Feynman technique in action.
130
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it yet.
131
And when you hear yourself, you get an auditory feedback loop too.
132
That's another input channel for the same information.
133
So you've got movement, speech production, and auditory processing all happening at the same time and all encoding the same material.
134
Three channels instead of one.
135
I do this most mornings.
136
Some concepts I've talked through 10 or more times.
137
Those are the ones I don't hesitate on in a technical discussion.
138
They're not stored as something I read once.
139
They're stored as something I've explained, heard myself explain, and physically like moved through.
140
That's a completely different kind of memory.
141
Now, if you're thinking, this all makes sense, but I know myself, I'll do it for a week and then fall off.
142
That's exactly why I built the AI ML Career Launchpad.
143
It's a learning community for aspiring AI and ML professionals where you've got structure, accountability, and other people going through the same thing.
144
Because the system only works if you actually use it consistently.
145
I'll drop the link in the description.
146
So here's what this comes down to.
147
Everything most people do to study, rereading, highlighting, cramming, it feels productive.
148
And that feeling is the trap.
149
The system that works is uncomfortable by design.
150
That discomfort is the learning.
151
But even if your approach is perfect, it doesn't matter if you don't do it consistently.
152
I made a video on how I get myself to study every day without using much willpower at all.
153
Check that out next.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
