    1. Relevance: Learn the scope of the Skill 2. Awareness: identify and fix mistakes 3. Iteration: get consistent, easier, faster execution 4. Lifelong: practice to keep it a habit

    Most people like to complicate things 17 min of nonsense. Of course I appreciate you efforts of course. here in 10 seconds: 1- Figure out what's important in the skill you're trying to learn. 2- Practice it, a lot. 3- Learn from your mistakes. 3- Keep at it until it becomes second nature.
  • @kamote192
    I use to watch a lot of your videos passively and because I couldn't understand much of what you're saying and I mistook that you were just blabbering technical nonsense, I tagged you unhelpful and unsubscribed. But after working on my attention span and actually listening on what you're saying, I eventually realized - you are a gem! So on point, so technical and scientific but simplified and made total sense. Thank you for your service.
  • Are we just gonna skip out on this man whiping out some bruce lee type of shit with those nunchucks just to teach us how to learn!? That's fucking epic!

    Video 2 of asking justin to do a video on procedural subjects such as maths and how to make mindmaps for them
  • @toluolawoyin
    Thank you Dr. Justin for making this videos, can you kindly make a hands-on video specifically on studying for maths, engineering and calculations related courses! 😢
  • @kenneth1767
    The beginners mindset is part of mastery. The dissatisfied comments show a basic lack of understanding mastery. Never shun the simple.
  • @williamlevii
    Thank you for the RAIL system. I had encountered the four stages of competence before this video but like you said it doesn't tell how to progress to the next stage, RAIL does and I immediately see how I apply to even learning how to draw. Reflecting on this video, I see one big issue is myself and others don't track, reflect, or evaluate what we are doing. And thus it is to be discouraged by errors and plateaus.

    You are amazing! I love your content and I hope you launch a book soon. Hugs from Brazil.
  • @Haridatabase
    Your hardwork of studying research papers and bringing valuable points helped many of us thank you sir❤
  • Justin great video. I would really appreciate a video on studying history and language learning from your perspective. I’m a first year uni student getting good results but I’m frustrated by the things that are holding me back from really excellent learning. My study techniques are good, but found myself stressed to the max towards the end of the semester, and I know I could have done better.
  • @IshrakIfti
    I'm at the iteration phase of learning higher order thinking. Yay! 🥳
  • Dr Sung, Glad to see you posting again! Would you please consider doing a Study With Me style video for procedural subjects or a technical skill like writing code using these principles?
  • @AdityaR-js3sy
    Video 2 ask Justin video to do on procedural subjects such as maths and how to mind map for them

  • @TJ-vn4wp
    Outstanding video! I took three pages of notes from this! Keep it up, Justin!
  • @memeranque
    I'm already seeing people attributing your mindmap to your name in youtube. Not for long this thoughtful and practical approach in learning skills (RAIL framework) would also be attributed to your name Justin. Thank you for transforming this theoretical knowledge into a practical checklist that can easily applied universally. You're going places. All the best! Ps: love the new hairstyle
