1
I never pull all-nighters.
2
I never miss the gym, even if the most important test of my life is tomorrow.
3
And I always study at the same seat at my desk every single day.
4
Why don't I do these things?
5
Well, in this video, I'm going to give you four evidence-based tips on how to actually prepare best for a heavy day of studying.
6
Studying the right way is important, but what about what we do before we start studying?
7
After we start studying?
8
Just like bodybuilders and big weightlifters can maximize their gains from the gym by eating a certain diet
9
and sleeping a certain amount of time, we can maximize our gains from a heavy day of studying by how we do certain things after and before we study.
10
These aren't going to be tips or techniques for how to study.
11
I'll be making a video on that in the near future.
12
These are just going to be tips and techniques for what to do when you're not studying.
13
What you can do when you're not studying to maximize that information sticking in your brain.
14
And actually for your brain to start creating new connections even while you sleep.
15
So let's start with sleep.
16
There was this really cool experiment where researchers took participants and had them complete the Tower of Hanoi task.
17
If you've never seen the Tower of Hanoi task, it's just this kind of test where you have to move rings onto different poles.
18
So what happened to these subjects? well, they got to try the Tower of Hanoi challenge once.
19
Then they were retested.
20
But they were retested in different kinds of scenarios.
21
Amazingly, when they were retested on the Tower of Hanoi test a week later without any practice in between, their performance improved by 40%.
22
However, if you let them try this Tower of Hanoi task the next day right after doing it the day before, but you mess with their REM sleep,
23
no such improvement is seen.
24
So that sounds to me like sleep is probably important for learning, right?
25
Well, I'll give you one better.
26
In another experiment, subjects were taught an algorithm for solving a kind of complicated math problem, but there was actually a better way,
27
an easier way to solve this math problem that if you thought about it enough, you could figure out.
28
This was a secret technique that the researchers didn't tell the participants about.
29
During the experiment, none of the participants kind of figured out this secret technique.
30
They waited 12 hours during the day, so they tested them in the morning and then tested them later in the night.
31
This was before any sleep would happen and see, wanted to see if anyone could figure out this new way of solving it.
32
Some did figure out kind of later on this the 12 hours later kind of how to solve this.
33
But what if you tested a set of people, again you gave them 12 hours in between tests, but instead of 12 hours in the day,
34
so morning to night, you gave them night to morning.
35
So you let them have a full night of sleep before retrying this complicated math problem, which there is a secret easier way to solve.
36
Remember both of these subjects get 12 hours of time in between their first test
37
and their second test but one group of people got
38
that time during the day and the other group of people got
39
that time during the night so guess what the people
40
that slept on it
41
or slept on the problem the rate of the discovery of
42
this easier solution more than double super cool to me i
43
don't know it kind of shows to me how important sleep
44
is not only overnight is the sleep locking in our memories
45
but judging from this last experiment it seems
46
that our brain is also trying to figure out better ways
47
to connect pieces of information inside our head our brain is coming up with new solutions
48
and answers to problems while we're floating away in dreamland
49
and even though we don't remember our dreams
50
and don't remember what happened during the night we wake up
51
usually with a better understanding of what we learned the previous
52
day one of the biggest handicaps you can actually put on
53
yourself before a test is not getting a good night's sleep Sleep is a huge topic
54
and it's one that's really interesting to me.
55
If you want to learn more about it, I suggest you check out a book called Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker.
56
He says kind of many things about this topic, but the one thing that stood out to me, he said, once you start to drop below seven hours of sleep,
57
you start to see detriments in health and performance.
58
The quality of your sleep is also important, so here are just some quick things he suggests.
59
He suggests increasing bright light exposure during the day, reduce blue light exposure in the evening.
60
I always have my Mac go to night shift mode and turn as far to red as possible.
61
Avoid caffeine in the evening.
62
Caffeine has a pretty long half-life.
63
So even though you drink it and you may feel the effects kind of for only four hours, it actually sticks around your system for another four hours after that and another four hours after that.
64
Try and go to bed and wake up at consistent times.
65
Avoid alcohol, especially before bed.
66
Keep your bedroom as dark as you can and colder than you think.
67
It's recommended from a couple sources to keep it around 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
68
Again, this differs person to person, but you want to keep it colder than you think.
69
Personally, also, I have found that showering or taking a bath before bed really helps me go to sleep.
70
And I've almost classically conditioned myself to get tired after I take a shower at nighttime, because after I take a shower, I go straight to bed.
71
So bottom line, aim for eight hours of quality sleep.
72
The number two tip out of four for how to best kind of prepare for studying
73
when you're not actually studying is exercise.
74
I actually maybe discovered this on my kind of long study times alone.
75
I found that if I sit at a desk for a long, long time, I get kind of fidgety.
76
And if I just do some push-ups or do some sit-ups
77
or just get up and get out of my desk and do some kind of exercise, when I sit back down, I actually feel better and can usually focus better.
78
Exercise seems to play a role in how well our memory works.
79
In one study, two bouts of three minutes of intense treadmill running, so that's running on the treadmill for three minutes pretty hard, times two before doing vocabulary tasks,
80
increased peripheral concentrations of catecholamines indicated in memory such as dopamine and epinephrine, and accelerated the rate of learning by 20%.
81
I'm going to push even a little bit more here.
82
One meta-analysis looked at 21 studies and the effect of acute and long-term cardiovascular intervention or exercise on human memory.
83
Acute exercise improves memory in a time dependent fashion by priming the molecular process involved in the encoding
84
and consolidation of newly acquired information.
85
So again, I'm not giving any medical advice.
86
Again, I don't know anything about medicine yet.
87
I'm still only a second year medical student, but these are just the recommendations that I've seen from these journals.
88
How do we take advantage of this information, these kind of reports that exercising helps memory work better?
89
Well, we exercise, we do whatever exercise you like.
90
This could be playing soccer, going for a run, lifting weights, and I think it's better.
91
It seems like the research most supports
92
either exercising kind of before you study
93
or mid-study as opposed to after you're done studying is
94
because it seems the evidence is kind of less emphatic on exercising after studying.
95
So bottom line, I would say exercise before or in between studying.
96
Tip number three is your environment.
97
Where are you studying?
98
How are you going to be learning these things?
99
Take advantage of classical conditioning here.
100
Every time I sit at a certain spot on my desk or in a seat at my desk, I know it's study time.
101
If it's playtime or if I want to like do some random things on the internet
102
or even if I want to do YouTube stuff, I'll actually just sit on a different side of the table
103
or I'll sit at a different kind of place in my apartment just
104
because I want to condition myself
105
because I know in this place I'm going to be working on med school stuff and studying.
106
In this place I'm going to be chilling out and in this place I'm going to be doing YouTube stuff.
107
That's why I never ever do any work in my bed because my bed is kind of just for sleeping.
108
So I'm only going to go in my bed when I want to sleep and not when I want to work.
109
And if the location that you're at right now isn't working and you have the option, try a new location.
110
Maybe this is the library.
111
Maybe this is a hopefully quiet coffee shop.
112
Maybe this is a friend who's really nice and will let you study with them who hopefully isn't too distracting.
113
Find a nice quiet workplace where you can focus and maintain that same workplace every day you study.
114
Because every day you study in that same workplace, every day you work hard in that same workplace, you're going to condition yourself to remember that in this place I will work hard and I will study hard.
115
Next, I would say clean your workplace.
116
In my high school psychology class, I think this was about 10 years ago, I remember I did an experiment with my friend and our experiment was,
117
okay, we're going to have people try and memorize this list of terms, but we're going to put them in three different situations.
118
The first situation is completely quiet, memorize as many of these terms as you can and then we'll test you afterwards.
119
The second scenario is we're going to play some annoying noise, so a buzzing noise or a distracting beat kind of in the background while they're memorizing these terms.
120
The third situation is we're going to put distracting imagery on the screen
121
and play things and show things to kind of distract the people.
122
So distracting them visually, distracting them auditorily.
123
What did we learn from our experiment in that psychology class?
124
Well, we actually saw that it seemed that people were able to remember 25% more information when there was complete quiet,
125
when there was no kind of of distracting noises or there was no distracting visual thing.
126
Now of course we shouldn't put complete faith in 16 year old Zach's high school psychology experiment, but I think we can put some faith in these peer-reviewed journals.
127
And what does the research say?
128
Well it kind of says the similar thing.
129
Distracting environment, a distracting noise will kind of harm your retention of information.
130
This doesn't necessarily apply to sounds that drown out other noises.
131
So if you're in a city or if in your house where there's a lot of noise on, but you can put on noise reducing headphones with rain sounds
132
or ambient noise or something like that that will help you drown out the background noise, that may actually help you as opposed to hurt you retain information.
133
Finally, I just want to give a shout out to an amazing book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo.
134
I hope I said that name right.
135
This is a quote from the book.
136
It is not our memories, but the person we have become of those past experiences we should treasure.
137
This is the lesson that these keepsakes teach us when we sort them.
138
The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.
139
And maybe this is a bit deep for kind of a studying video, but I think it's a really good point.
140
I'm kind of use your space as an indication of who
141
you want to become as opposed to what you were in the past.
142
So bottom line, what should you do?
143
Set a consistent place for studying that is clean, quiet, and yours.
144
my final tip is a tip about your mindset
145
when you study one major shift in my mind
146
that I've started to do before I start studying or
147
when I'm doing something that I feel like I have to do
148
instead of framing it as I have to study I have
149
to work frame it as I get to do this thing
150
I get to study I get to learn these amazing things I get to work with these amazing teachers
151
and professors this change of mindset has improved my motivation and kind of happiness while I'm studying for long, long times.
152
Side note, this can also be applied to other things you have to do.
153
But yeah, I'm in medical school.
154
Isn't that amazing?
155
I've tried so hard to get here.
156
It took me so long to get here.
157
And I'm finally here.
158
I finally get to learn about the human body.
159
I finally get to be in the hospital.
160
I finally get to do the things I've dreamed of doing for as long as I can remember.
161
The other major change in mindset that I've had is from a book
162
that I read recently called How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie.
163
My favorite thing I learned from this book is to live in daytight compartments.
164
Well, what does that mean?
165
Well, only focus on the thing you're going to be completing that day.
166
Yes, you have a big test coming up in a week.
167
Yes, you have to study all these things, but hopefully you've made a plan before so you know what you're going to study in that day.
168
Don't think about where you're going to study tomorrow or the next day or the day after that.
169
Just focus on what you're going to be studying that day.
170
What are you doing right now?
171
Just focus on that.
172
A quote from the book is, if you want to avoid worry, do what Sir William Osler did, live in daytight compartments.
173
Don't stew about the future, just live each day until bedtime.
174
My last mindset tip is to know specifically what you are going to be studying that day.
175
Because if you don't set where you're going to be studying that day, how are you going to live in a daytight compartment?
176
And the specifics of what you'll be studying that day should be specific, right?
177
It shouldn't be, today I'm going to study biology.
178
No, it should be today I'm going to study chapter two of biology, chapter three of biology.
179
I'm going to do 20 practice questions and I'm going to review a hundred flashcards or something like that.
180
It really just needs to be something that you know exactly what to do so you can get down and do it.
181
I have other videos about this, but I personally make my day for day exam strategy nine days before my exam
182
and I make my week strategy during kind of a regular week of studying Friday before the next week.
183
Bottom line, change your mindset from you have to do this to you get to do this.
184
Only focus at the task at hand.
185
Live in daytight compartments and know specifically what you will be studying, exactly what you will be studying before you actually get started.
186
These are things that I've kept to consistently
187
that I think have made the biggest difference in my studying outside of actual studying.
188
But that is it.
189
Thank you so much for watching and I will see you in the next one.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
