1
It's surprisingly easy to become good at studying.
2
as long as you build the three learning pillars.
3
I've been a learning coach for the past 13 years
4
and I've noticed that once students are able to master all three learning pillars, they're able to study much more to a much higher quality in a shorter amount of time,
5
which ultimately means getting better results.
6
Now the issue is that most people don't know about these pillars or they focus on the wrong ones, which means even though it can be easy to get good at studying,
7
most people So in this video, I'm going to teach you what the three pillars are
8
and what you need to do to master them to become a top learner.
9
But let's make something very clear.
10
Getting better at learning is not the same thing as making learning faster and easier.
11
Effective learning takes effort it often feels uncomfortable.
12
High quality learning involves thinking really hard.
13
Most people think that you can get better at learning without doing the hard thinking
14
and so they actually avoid that effort which means that they avoid getting better.
15
So instead most people think about how they can just cover content faster
16
but covering content fast doesn't mean anything unless you can retain what you've learned
17
and then use it the way you need to.
18
Even if you can retain and remember and needed it for was to solve problems.
19
So getting better at learning is about knowing what type of thinking is effective and getting better at doing that.
20
And then over time, you do get faster at doing that and it becomes more comfortable.
21
But the way you get more comfortable is like how long distance running gets more comfortable for a marathon runner.
22
It's not that it's become objectively easy.
23
It's that you get used to the difficulty.
24
Getting better at learning is also or finding the best technique.
25
It's perfectly possible to have the best app and use the best techniques
26
and still do terribly with your learning if you're not thinking in the right way.
27
Getting better at learning means that you understand the right way to think
28
so that you don't even need the best app or the best technique.
29
You can do well even without it because you know how to use your brain and think in the right way.
30
So with that out of the way, here are the three pillars and how you need to think about getting better at learning.
31
is ultimately about getting information and then putting it inside
32
our memory and the process of putting information inside our memory is something
33
that we call encoding and then when we use
34
that information from our memory we call this process retrieval retrieval helps us find gaps in our memory
35
and it also strengthens and consolidates our long -term memory which means
36
when you practice retrieving your knowledge your knowledge gets stronger on
37
the other hand encoding is what determines how many gaps you have in the first place if your poor,
38
it's very superficial, and so you have lots of gaps to find in your retrieval, and sometimes it's overwhelming to try to fill all of those gaps.
39
This is the typical situation of the Anki grind or the flashcard grind,
40
where almost all of the learning is just done through retrieval and testing yourself through flashcards, and the encoding is not being done at a high quality,
41
which means that you're constantly forgetting almost everything and overwhelming yourself with These are the first two pillars.
42
To be a great learner, you have to have good enough encoding so that your memory isn't full of holes,
43
and you have to have good enough retrieval so that you're finding those gaps and you're deepening your knowledge.
44
The third pillar is because learning doesn't happen in isolation.
45
It doesn't matter if you have the best encoding and best retrieval technique.
46
If, for example, you procrastinate so much that you never sit down to study, or you're so easily distracted that you can't focus for more than 20 minutes.
47
These are things that I call enablers.
48
Enabler skills are not your direct learning skills.
49
They're the skills that allow you to show up and do the work you need to do consistently.
50
And so when we think about, great really really effective learners then one of their biggest characteristics is
51
that they have phenomenal encoding skills their encoding ability is
52
so strong and their retention is so good
53
that they barely forget anything they don't have many gaps to
54
find they're able to achieve a really deep level of understanding
55
and mastery in a very short period of time people with
56
phenomenal encoding skills they often don't need to spend a lot
57
of time studying they don't need to spend a lot of
58
is actually the most important skill for you to develop to become a good learner, not just learning how to do more flashcards or writing pretty notes.
59
But it is actually the last thing that you should learn how to get good at.
60
And so here is how you get good at each of these three pillars, and the order that you should get good at them in.
61
The first one you should try to develop is actually your enablers.
62
And you can divide enabler skills into two different types.
63
The first type is self -management.
64
This includes things like your ability to stop procrastinating, your time management, how you prioritize your tasks, and how you can manage your focus and concentration.
65
The other category is growth.
66
skills.
67
And this is one that most people don't think about.
68
Growth skills are actually the skills that allow you to improve with time.
69
Because not everyone gets better and develops skills at the same pace.
70
And so if you want to get better at...
71
I mean, basically anything, but especially something as complex as learning, you need to have really good growth skills.
72
Otherwise, you're going to give up before you get good.
73
And the two biggest growth skills are experimentation and critical reflection.
74
If you imagine one person who learns a new learning technique and then they never use it, they're afraid of trying it, they're afraid of making a mistake.
75
And then when they do use it, they don't know how to think about how well it went.
76
Versus someone who learns a new technique is able to use it immediately.
77
have that experience, able to reflect on it, see what went well, see what went wrong, what they could improve, and then create the next experiment immediately.
78
you can imagine which person is going to improve more quickly.
79
And I see this very clearly in the students in my program,
80
where some students are learning skills literally 20 times faster than other students.
81
And 99 out of 100 times when we look at the students that are
82
improving very slowly and feeling frustrated and demotivated at the experience of learning to learn,
83
it's because they are holding back on experimentation or they're not doing critical reflection often.
84
And so this is why we need to work on the enablers first, because either self -management or growth skills are going to be rate limiters for you,
85
which means it doesn't matter how good your encoding is.
86
It doesn't matter how good your retrieval is.
87
It doesn't matter what apps you use, how you write your notes.
88
None of that matters if your self -management and your growth skills aren't good enough.
89
And so the easy part to this is that if you know
90
that you have an issue with your procrastination or with your time management or with your experimentation and your growth skills, then you know that you can work on that.
91
And you should just work on that first and you will see great results in a short period of time.
92
starting this learning skills journey, will ignore this stuff.
93
They'll say, this isn't important for me, I just need to learn something else.
94
I need just a new technique that's gonna fix my problem.
95
And then they're gonna struggle.
96
And they're gonna find learning to learn very, very hard.
97
And they're probably gonna give up before they get good.
98
So if you want learning to learn to be easier, Focus on your enablers first.
99
And you don't need to become like a machine, a paragon of focus.
100
You just have to be good enough.
101
And once you are good enough with your enablers, you're ready to move on to the second.
102
The second part is...
103
retrieval so if we go back to this diagram here you remember
104
that retrieval is whenever we use information from our memory we've already encoded it it's in our memory
105
and now we're calling upon that and testing ourselves so for example
106
when we do a quiz or answer some practice questions that's retrieval
107
and there are many many ways of doing retrieval depending on how you need to use your knowledge
108
if you need detailed factory call we've got techniques like doing flashcards.
109
Or if you need to apply multiple concepts together, you can solve complex problems.
110
You can use and apply your knowledge to build something like: develop an app, teaching someone, answering questions, making your own questions, answering questions and then making your own answer sheet,
111
quizzing your friends, brain dumps, mind map brain dumps, writing practice essays, using AI to generate your own practice test.
112
And it's not that one strategy is better than the other, each has their own purposes,
113
it's about figuring out how you need retrieval strategies you use.
114
And when you have a retrieval strategy, that is consistent and regular.
115
and it's aligned to your knowledge needs it enhances your retention it enhances your fluency
116
and recall speed and helps you to find gaps in your knowledge in advance
117
so that you can fill them and
118
so hopefully you can see why you need to start working
119
on your enablers before you work on your retrieval skills
120
because it's very hard to have consistent regular high quality retrieval sessions
121
if you struggle with your time management if you can't prioritize your tasks but by locking in learning.
122
Even if you didn't understand it the first time, even if it was a complex topic, even if you're feeling nervous about the exam,
123
your retrieval strategy is there to catch any gaps and help you prepare and become confident before the exams.
124
And speaking of safety nets, what happens if you're watching a video like this
125
and you're finding it helpful and you're finding this advice useful
126
and you want to make sure you apply it in your life, but you're worried that once you click off of this video, you're going to forget about it.
127
Nothing's going to change.
128
What if there is a way
129
that every single week you could get a reminder about what
130
you need to focus on? on delivered straight to your inbox written by me for free in the form of a newsletter.
131
Well, what a great idea.
132
I already thought of that.
133
I have a free newsletter, which I send out every single week, which has tips like this.
134
It's a distillation of the study techniques that I wish I knew 14 years ago when I first started this,
135
covering what I think are some of the most important principles to help you become a more confident learner.
136
The emails take a few minutes to read, but can potentially save you hours a week through efficiency.
137
So if you're interested, again, it's completely free.
138
There's a link to sign up to the newsletter in the description.
139
Now, the third pillar, it's no mystery, is going to be encoding.
140
I said encoding is arguably the most important change that you can make to become a better learner.
141
This is the hallmark of a genius.
142
So why is it the last thing for you to work on?
143
Well, it's because encoding, the third pillar, takes a long time.
144
Becoming good at encoding is not about learning how to do some mind maps, even though that is a great technique that can help you be better at encoding.
145
It's not about reading a certain way.
146
It's not about writing your notes a certain way.
147
It is about how you think.
148
encoding is basically a word to encapsulate all of your current habits of how you interpret
149
and process new information these are habits
150
that you've built up over years decades even some of those habits are working for you
151
and some of those habits are outdated or hindering you and
152
so it takes time to gain awareness of your current learning habits
153
and it takes time to unlearn those habits sometimes a very long time
154
and it takes time to replace those with new habits and
155
mind mapping and certain reading techniques that help you think in new ways and build those new neural pathways.
156
For some really experienced, already top achieving learners, this process might only take a few weeks.
157
For students who have never experienced high quality encoding before, developing these habits can take several years.
158
Even with guidance and feedback like in an intensive program like mine, it can take months.
159
And unless you have just months of free time that you can be getting better at learning,
160
encoding is not the thing that is going to make a difference for you in the short term.
161
The reason we work on our enablers and our retrieval skills first is because once we have these locked down, it gives us the runway,
162
the time, the safety to slowly start working on our encoding skills.
163
And yes, once you do improve your encoding skills, it is legitimately life -changing.
164
The amount and the efficiency that I can learn at now compared to when I was better.
165
But if I just tried to work on only my encoding skills that entire time, I probably just would have failed medical school in the meantime.
166
By the way, in terms of the specific process of what encoding actually looks like, I go through that in more detail in some other videos.
167
But here's the thing, is that even though if you follow these steps and you learn it in this order, where you start with your enablers and then your retrieval and then you slowly work on your encoding skills,
168
this is the easy way to get better at learning.
169
Once you have all of these things, memory and then you have a great ability to find your gaps,
170
you will walk into every exam for the rest of your life feeling confident.
171
You will be focused and effective and in control of your learning process, not just for uni, but also in professional life.
172
However, So there is still another part that can make this hard.
173
These are not new ideas.
174
If you've watched my videos before, I talk about this stuff constantly.
175
I have videos that have received millions of views talking about each of these points.
176
And yet I can promise you that millions of people have not become top learners after watching these videos.
177
I wish.
178
And a big reason it is
179
so hard for people to just execute on these steps is because that many people are caught in the illusion of learning.
180
Which is basically when you think you're learning, but you're actually not.
181
Learning to learn is not about what you know.
182
It is about what you know and can do.
183
It is a skill.
184
As much as I want you to, you know, go and watch another one of my videos and help my channel grow,
185
the thing that probably is going to help you is to just take a technique that I teach and just do it.
186
Apply it.
187
Experiment.
188
You know, critically reflect.
189
Grow.
190
But that is.. difficult.
191
That's hard work.
192
That's hard work that people aren't willing to do.
193
It is hard work to actually do things and make mistakes and have experiences and learn from them.
194
It is hard work to examine your habits and relearn habits.
195
It takes
196
time and practice and diligence and consistency
197
and it is far easier just to fall into the illusion of learning and just keep watching videos
198
scrolling through Instagram and TikTok reels, knowing more about how to be better at learning, without actually becoming better at learning.
199
It took me years to learn what I know now, and to do that trial and error and figure it all out.
200
And although I hope it will be faster for you
201
because I'm uploading these videos and teaching you the things that I've learned, it's still not going to happen overnight.
202
So I would love for you to watch this video and Take action.
203
And by the way, If you are looking to try to do this a little bit more quickly with a little bit more guidance
204
and feedback and things that I can't do over YouTube very easily, then I do have a step by step program that I've created on I can say it .com.
205
It's designed to sequentially go through all the enablers
206
and the retrieval strategies and the encoding strategies in the right order that you need to learn it at the right level.
207
I will, of course, continue to upload videos on YouTube for free to try to help as many people as possible.
208
looking for a faster path that is a little bit more guided, then you might be interested in checking that out.
209
I'll leave a link to that in the description as well.
210
Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next one.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
