How to Learn: Pretty Much Anything (YøùTùbé.com) by Mattias Pilhede
Why am I so unmotivated to learn something that would benefit me in the long-run?
Why would I think about it for years but then do nothing about it?
How would I even an approach a grandiose topic like learning music/writing/drawing?
Chapter 1: Procrastination
Why am I so lazy all the time?
- Sometime the idea of learning something new gives you anxiety which is triggers the same area in your brain where we sense pain
- Best Solution is just to start doing it
- In the moment of learning it you will have problems most specifically dissatisfaction or longing for a short-term satisfaction
- Best Solution is to remember this would lead to long-term satisfaction
- What learning actually is?
- It is a cell in our nervous system called neuron and information flows from one neuron to another neuron through a synapse and your brain has a billion of synapse
- Learning something new makes brain create more synapses
- It is still important to rest as memorization takes time and learning takes repetition
- Brain remembers what is important so things you forgot are probably not important so focus on things that you need and not on multiple stuff
- Exercise and Social Contact makes your brain produce new neuron and study and learn better
- Different Modes of Thinking
- The Focused Mode (Logical Mode / Left-Brain Mode)
- Requires no distraction so your memory is not inefficient but not the most fun
- The Diffused Mode (Creative Mode / Right-Brain Mode)
- Brain is free to wander like putting music, some videos because you are not learning but reinforcing what you have learned
- The Focused Mode (Logical Mode / Left-Brain Mode)
- Switch modes that will help you the most efficiently
- No matter what you are learning, you must do it yourself
- Huge part of learning is problem solving and you have to solve the problem yourself
- Learning can be so hard that you can’t even relate to it. But you need to learn about it until it feels real.
- Make it relatable for yourself
- Get across the major ideas and not get stuck with small details
- If you want to remember something, you must test yourself
- Make it important to you and make you need it
- Test yourself and know what is your wrong and study about it again
- Mistakes are part of what we learn
- Refuse to learn something new because of a misleading intuition or feeling that you have understood it or mastered it.
- It is perfectly normal to procrastinate, especially if it is new to us and you don’t know where to start
- But maybe you can focus on something what you can do right now and just do something right now
- Make the initiative the time and effort
- Take the Initiative
