Since sleep is important to learn, I will take that as my first step. Goodnight y'all

same case here! I am physically very active, am social (at least when I'm at school), try to eat always as healthy as possible.. but the thing that throws everything out the window is my lack of sleep; I barely even get 7 hours per day because of wattpad/tumblr reading :// adding to the equation that I am a very big procrastinator and often struggle to get things done hgjhdhjdgfjhabja

I finally finished the video
Hey i saw u finally finished the video. Proud of you!!💖 i was having trouble finishing the video and was about to give up (like. Two mins in), but this inspired me to watch it all the way through:)
I be bookmarking or saving these videos for later only to never watch them sigh
I’ve always wanted to learn a second language. I finally dived head long into learning French at the age of 31. Happy to say after five months I’m hitting an intermediate level and still learning new words and phrases everyday.
How did you start learning in the beginning, and what has helped you the most thus far?
that's awesome! I'm in the same boat, wanting to learn a language, but I've been so hesitant to start. I've learned it in school for a while but didn't let it click because I was more focused on getting good grades. Your comment is very comforting to read, I wish you the best on your journey you're doing great! :)
trop chouette
oh c'est génial!!
Good job!! Thats so cool that youre doing that, hoping to follow you on the learning experience someday too!

WAIT WHAT???
I’ m a teacher and ı think people tend to procrastinate the things they wanna make or learn because of they think if they dont spend their max effort and time there will be nothing meaningful. For exp if a student wanna learn a lesson thinks like I need to study this subject/lesson for hours, but studying for hours is boring or I dont need enough time for it today, lets try it the other day. And the other day will be just the same. U need to understand that if u dont do anything about something u ll get nothing. If u do whatever u wanna do for maybe a minute, maybe 10, maybe 1 hour doesnt matter it will progress. So u wanna learn chem u can start with 10 min. study every day or every weekend as u wish, finally after a few months u definitely have knowledge about chem. We always think like if i make many hours effort suddenly we will be perfect on it. But reality is if u spent efforts, even tiny efforts like baby steps u will learn how to walk
Modivation and procrastination still to this day are things I struggle with but not because I don’t want to put the max effort in school for me the problem was ADHD where I could learn Morse code in a week (which I have done ( this is called hyper focus for those with ADHD) yet not be able to do one homework assignment without having a breakdown so most of these tips teachers gave me to “just try” and not be so called “lazy” never rlly worked, keep in mind I still took medication for this yet it wouldn’t helped fully and that’s not ever possible for it too, and I don’t think many ppl keep in mind how many ppl have disorders like this that can also cause these problems :)
I needed this and it's me. I think i NEED to study for hours and i dont do it, so i put it off. I need to take little steps like you said.
One of my weaknesses that I want to overcome is sharing my thoughts out like this one. This video just helped me take initiative and engage in the comments section! I get very anxious and I fear how people would reply to me and this video just inspired me to make this year of mine to be full of knowledge and new learnings. Thank you so much!
I totally relate to every word of what you’ve said. Your comment prompted me to do the same!
best of lucks! Stepping out of your comfort zone isn’t always a bad thing, it can end in something really cool x
Awesome! I totally relate.
your comment is stupid why would you even think of posting it
Relatable..

Diavolo 19273th death are due to learning something new
the taking breaks thing is VERY important. When learning anything, even a sport or something mostly physical, the thing that gets worked up the most is your brain. Oh, you wanna learn bass? Well guess what, your fingers are not going to be your main problem, your brain is. Take breaks, sleep, and when you feel like you can't play right or learn anything for the day, leave it at that. You've reached your limit, and you literally can NOT go over it
Man I love this video because I relate with so many things I’ve overcome on my own which I’m so proud of myself for but I also acknowledge that there are still much more to be learned and to get through which fortunately for me am excited for

A trick I use to stop procrastinating is to tell myself that I would do that thing for as little time possible, like studying or exercising for 30 seconds. As soon as I started I would realize that it wasn't so painful and keep doing it
Whoa
I watched a video recently where a guy advised that you set a timer for 5 minutes to practice guitar, so you didn't make the excuse of having no time to practice, 5 minutes quickly turns into 10 then 20 etc. Works for me.
Thank you, that is a great strategy.
Yet another strategy I use is (after getting started doing your objectives) is breaking down the time I work an hour into 45 minutes of work and a 15 minute break, but I set a 15 minute timer for all of it. This let's me know how much work I an achieve and how much time could be wasting, allowing me to optimize my time spent and also challenge myself to work more efficient or faster. This depends on the hobby though of course.
Omg it actually works
Watching videos about something you'd like to learn (tutorials, informational stuff, literally anything at all related to that topic) is something that always motivated me to start learning that thing! I always get impressed when i see people making videos about it and how casually they approach that thing that seems far away from me as "proffesionals"
Wow. I really needed to hear this, thank you! I've been procrastinating from artwork and college because both have been causing me a lot of stress combined (mainly math is causing it.) I'll keep this amazing video on hand to refresh my memory of these topics when I need it, because I definitely needed it. Sleep is one of the biggest issues for me but honestly all of my issues come down to how much initiative I have to re-balance how I do things and what things I do. 10/10 video.
*oh I have 0.1 gigabytes left in my brain*
Fun fact: the brain actually has near infinite memory/learning capability! (Well, it's actually 10^100 factorial synapses, but that's close enough) Yes I know this is a joke I just wanna share the fact.
Breaks into a morgue, uses a syringe to steal some long-term memory storing proteins from an interesting looking dead body, injects them into my brain, and I never eat ice cream again because of that one time I drowned in sugar.
That's why Sherlock Holmes got rid of the unnecessary stuff.

Lately I have been thinking of actually taking initiative, as mentioned here, but also being motivated by the fact that I feel great after accomplishing something as simple as schoolwork or even making a phone call.

The "details get easier to learn as you understand the broad idea" is SUCH a good point that I'd never thought about before. I study economics and the graphs are quite frankly a fucking nightmare to understand, but the more you understand the fundamental point behind them, the more you start to grasp the equations.

That's like when the breath gets knocked out of you. I've always been angry about that stupid physical reaction because it's like poring salt on an open wound. You get smacked so hard your ribs vibrate, and your body is like. "Oh! You're in pain? Let me give you something to take your mind off of it. Now you can't breath! Hahahaahah!"
Schools should be set up so that we can explore our interests early and then begin learning them somewhere in our teens. Why devote 12 years of your life to that when you could spend 6 years being introduced to a ton of different cool stuff and then another 6 to narrowing down your options. I just hate school- it kills creativity.

Great video! Trying to learn something new every day as well and even though I knew already many of the stuff mentioned in the video, it is nice to recall all those things and hear it out loud from somebody else as well.
Am I the only person that feels motivated to do stuff when it's like 3am
Nope. I pretty much only feel motivated to do stuff in the middle of the night, but then I don't do it because it will mess up my whole schedule and everything. Ugh.

Are you be any chance a teenager? That could be a factor.

"Your brain remembers things by importance-" I guess that's why I remember things like what some stranger's hat looked like at Disney World 15 years ago but I don't remember where I put my car keys.. wait a min
haha lol
You forget that " it's probably because you didnt really have a need for it ". Like for right now. Example eating with family then we forgot keys, because family is important, than keys. ? Debate
you probably were really exited at disney world 15 years ago thats why your brain thinks its important. but your car keys are nothing important to the brain because you use the car alot and leave the car keys somewhere (probably) all the time.

Notes for anybody who needs to review: 1. Stop procrastinating, just start doing it. Do it now. The biggest hurdle is putting it off. When you start doing it, there'll be a point when you'll get frustrated because there's no instant reward/gratification, so you'll get distracted and put it off again. To solve this, just start doing it again. Long term satisfaction is worth more than the short term. Take initiative. 2. It takes time to remember things. You can't soak it up everything right away. Learning is about repetition. Don't try to learn everything about a subject all at once. You can focus on certain areas you're really curious about first. For example, you don't have to follow an instructional book in chronological order you can focus on the pages you need now, and then when you come back to the same pages it'll be a refresher. Additionally, sleep lots and exercise. Interact socially with other people. Give yourself a break and let your brain rest. It'll prevent yourself from burning out, improve your mood and strengthen your motivation to continue learning. 3. You have to try it out and apply what you're learning by yourself. Practice what you've learned. Your brain has 2 modes of thinking. The focused mode (logical/left-brain) and the diffused mode (creative/right-brain). You can shift between these 2 modes. When you're learning something new, eliminate all distractions so you have total concentration. This'll increase the efficiency of your memory. When you're just reviewing something, you can listen to music or videos in the background. You can let your mind wander because you're just reinforcing what you've already learned. 4. It will get more difficult as you continue learning something. But it's alright, that feeling is normal. Try to understand the main ideas and not get stuck in the details. Your brain will eventually connect with the more complicated things. 5. Study, review and test yourself on what you've learned. However, don't just study one area. Go back and forth between different things so you give yourself space to repeat and process these things you're learning. 6. It takes time. It's a process. It can be stressful. Learning something new is daunting and that's why most people don't do it and procrastinate. But understand that you don't have to know everything right away. Start off with small steps. Do it gradually and over time you'll be surprised at how much you've learned.
Huge Huge Respect to you ⚡ The globe needs more people like you 💯

I grew up as a smart kid, never really trying to do things, just learning naturally and being praised for that. Then I grew up and started noticing that I have a really hard time learning things, specially because I never learnt how to, in fact, try. Nowadays I get both angry and sad with myself for being so bad at everything, specially at learning, and I also started dropping everything midway or never starting something new. My English is my better example, I started learning when I was 8 and after a few years struggling with it I stopped learning, now I have a very bad pronounce, a really strong accent and a terrible grammar, basically, a very broken English. I'm trying to cope with my expectations and trying to lower them, I'm also trying to throw the idea that being bad at something or trying hard is the same as a failure and that this will make my parents less proud of me, what, in fact, happens.
Yesss. I know this feeling. Growing up as "the smart kid", then growing up and falling flat. Realizing you picked up everything as a kid but never actually excelled at anything. Lacking long term ambition and discipline. Now you have this horrible fear of failure. Fear of starting. Fear of trying. Fear you won't live up to being the smart kid you were supposed to. It hurts. It's like a trap.
@@sunshineyrainbows13 Bruh.... That's exactly me.
This.... I grew up us a smart kid and through middle school excelled just like that.At high School and college I became average but could not figure out what was happening. I always used to get frustrated at college and think I am not smart enough.Being smart as a kid made me think that discomfort when learning is a sign of failure not progress. I am 28 and have realized this now that there are ways with which we learn and how we should be retaining concepts and internalize them before moving on to complex things. Old habits die hard and I need to do a lot of change . I just hope I made the right realization and I have enough time to turn my life around.
Eu tenho exatamente o mesmo problema. Porém, esses dias, eu decidi que eu quero mudar. Só comecei a fazer as coisas, não importa o quão difícil ou ruim parecesse. Depois que você toma a atitude e começa, tudo fica mais fácil. A dor para. E conforme você for fazendo as coisas, todo dia, você vai se disciplinar. Não é impossível. Você ainda consegue.
Ouch golden child syndrome
Always encouraging to see these kinda vids
Thanks for my buddy for introducing me this. This was really informative :)
"If you forgotten something, then it probably means that you didn't have a need for it." That explains schools a lot.
Wow that actually makes sense
*You*
That’s true but maybe the reason you didn’t need it is because you didn’t do what you wanted to. You learned some piano but forgot because you didn’t play for months.

I forget passwords because my brain only remembers the hand motion and not the numbers
"just start doing it" is the hardest thing to do actually. edit: i love how all the replies is everyone sharing their own problems and solutions 😊
frr
I know
the biggest problem it's that you have to start doing it everyday
Yeah but once you do it it's better
@@YedidahMVO But _how_. I can get why or when I would do it but _how?_ What does it even look like to start something? This is the shit that gets me caught in the feedback loop, not any other reason but the _how_
thank you for making this video
Was trying to find motivation to start going to gym again, thanks. 😍
Imma stop procrastinating and book tickets to Area 51 already

@@RaveBabyFuu Oh they will. They will remember.
"If you have forgotten something, it's probably because you did not have a need for it." Then how come I keep forgetting how to do simple math but remember the entire fresh prince of bel air theme
Wtf why is that so accurate
That’s because you liked it try and trick ur brain to like stuff u need to learn, personally that worked for like two months and my brain got tired or My body got tired idk actually but it stopped working
Heh i had a friend in school who used to get us all together in the 15 mins before a maths test and teach us a song about the formulas. She's a school teacher now. Maybe the reason you don't remember your maths is because you didn't learn them to the tune of the fresh prince of bel air! 😄 But likely it's because you need to create more of a need for those particular mathematical concepts in your life.
It's very important
Well, I guess math problem solving and music listening are different things and you use different senses to each one. You cannot do simple math but can count from 1 to 10 without thinking about which number goes next!
This is really a helpful video to understand the nature of learning! I used to wonder why sometimes I need music to listen to when studying, while sometimes I do not! It is well answered in your video!
This was absolutely so useful thank you
I'm procrastinating learning how to learn.

"Exercise and being socially active helps your brain produce Neurons." *scared introvert noises*
I feel you 😂
This is why pets help.
At least exercise
I'm introvert, I forced myself to be social because I was really depressed (it was really bad) it was the best life choice I've done in my life, I still struggle with it and feel awkward sometimes and have to take rests from it but the benefits worth it 100%
I talk to myself, does that count?
A video that I would have liked to see before the beginning of my studies.
Thank you for the vid bro
