 we'll just make sure that the live stream is working, that we're live and we do a little intro. Cool, so we're live. It is, what's the date today? May 17th, that went 30 p.m. Pacific time, West Coast Canada. And welcome everyone who's coming to the stream live. And for those of you watching this stream, and it's been uploaded to Pichu YouTube, just to let you know what we're about to do. Basically what I'm doing is I'm incorporating the live streaming with the recording videos and editing videos and stuff like this. So what we're doing right now is sort of a behind the scenes video live stream, just to show you how I end up creating content in video format, recorded, where I take it into editing. And what we're about to do is we're about to continue with our conversation regarding on how to study. And just so you know, anything that I reference in the live stream will be, links will be provided in the description of this video. Once it's loaded on Pichu or YouTube or whatever platform you do load this on. Okay, so if there's anything that you're looking for that I do reference, please look in the description of this video and I will provide links to any videos or any playlist. But what we're about to do basically is do a live stream of me recording how to study video. And if you've been following that series, if you want to know what we're talking about, there's a sort of a playlist that put together in YouTube. And there's, I believe there's like seven videos, but there's basically six or eight videos in that playlist. But there's basically six tips that have shared so far regarding on how to study. And we're just basically going to continue a conversation from there. The first one that you see here was basically putting out a video a few years ago, back in 2000 and something, talking about, you know, we sort of have to ask ourselves why it is that we're studying something. We sort of, that's sort of a rant on the first one talking about how you can look at something way, you know, if you're going to study something or do something, if you're going to look at it through the lens of hate or love, it's much easier to absorb information if you're coming at it from a at least not a dislike, not hate perspective, right? And then what we did after that, we sort of did another video, sort of part two of that talking about that if you're going to study is much more efficient to basically sit down and do long sessions than it is to sit down and do multiple short sessions, right? Short sessions are good for reviews, but if you're really trying to get something done, it's really important to sit down and do a long session. Okay. The third video we put out in that series was this one, which is basically talking about us finding sort of our happy space, where we are comfortable studying whatever it is that we're studying, right? Sometimes it's on a desk, sitting on a chair, sometimes it's at a park, sometimes it's at a beach, sometimes it's just walking if you need to hash out different things, right? So there's multiple ways that you can ease the studying, the amount of work and energy you have to put into studying, and once you end up being in a comfortable area where you are reviewing or studying, learning something new, then you tend to like what it is that you're doing, which connects up to the first video, what we talked about, right? The fourth video in this set, in this playlist that we put together, was basically a video talking about that. One of the most important things that you can do for yourself if you're trying to get a whole bunch of stuff done, especially for people in university, or if you're working on your own project, is to create a schedule and to create a to-do list. So in this fourth video, we sort of went through how to create a schedule, we talked about flow charts and stuff like this, and we talked about how you can create a to-do list and maybe knock things off, you know, two or three different things off in one goal, right? Layer in your work, which is a very efficient way to get things done, right? And the fifth video in this series what we did was basically talk about how to read a textbook, and we took three different types of textbook, and we sort of talked about each one of those, and we sort of put out two different videos for that from the same shoot. One of them was the full-on ASMR version, which was our plus minutes long, and the other one was sort of a condensed version, where it's like 20 points of how to read a textbook. And the sixth video we put out in this set was us taking a look at different types of math problems that we might encounter in high school specifically, and realizing that to solve a certain type of problem there's a certain pattern to it, right? And we sort of talked about the best way you can learn math, algebra, is basically recognize what type of problem you have and remember the pattern, the visual on it, right? So what we're going to do right now is create a seventh tip, seventh video, or I guess it's the ninth video, because we're not talking about the introduction and re-editing another video, the video that we did regarding how to read a textbook, right? But basically, this is the seventh tip in the series of how to study. And in this one, basically, what we're going to do is we're going to talk about how to take notes, okay? And the way, just so you know, the way I end up doing these shoots, I usually set myself up, and sometimes I'm lucky enough to be able to capture what I want to capture in one go. Sometimes I have to do it again. This is my first go at creating this video, and I'm sort of getting back into editing videos and stuff like this. So this is sort of an experiment putting these two different techniques together, right? The live streaming and recording, right? Which is sort of the same thing, but you have to take care of the lighting and whatnot, right? It's a little bit different, a little bit fine-tuning required. So hopefully we'll end up using this shoot. But just in case everything doesn't flow as well as I, you know, it's flowing in my head as well as the notes that I've taken and things that laid out, I'll probably end up reshooting this if it doesn't work out well enough, okay? And just to let you know, this is sort of our initial little intro video, there will be a description, there will be a link to when we actually start to shoot in the description of this video. I should have mentioned this at the beginning, right? But basically these are the two angles that we're going to use to shoot this video, okay? So let me take this off, and this is the angle that we're using. I have, let me give you the layout of the land, because one of the reasons I'm making these videos as well is because people haven't been asking me how I end up creating content, and you know, I've had a couple of people that are working with other students ask me how I'm doing this, and throughout the years I've had people ask me, you know, what type of mic I'm using, what type of gear and stuff I'm using, what type of relating I'm using. So I thought this would be an amazing opportunity to share that information as well, just in case anyone wants to create content just to make life easier for them, right? So this is what we have right now. I have my mic set up here that we're doing the live stream from. I'm going to be using a lapel mic that I'm going to be recording sound on, an external recording device, very cheap, like this mic cost me like 15 bucks US. This thing about a few years ago cost me like 100 bucks, it's more, it was more than the high end one, and it's already glitchy, so I have to tape it down when I record it, but it's, you know, the gear doesn't cost that much, okay? I do have an HD camera that cost me a few hundred bucks to get, okay, and that's set up here, and I got this thing set up on a tripod, I got things tied down, and I have one camera set up here that is shooting the angle that we're seeing in this corner right here, right? If I change this view. So this guy right here, okay, that's the camera coming from here, and this is the camera that have Jerry rigged with painting tape on another tripod that I have, this is another tripod that I have. I just took the top off of it, hooked it on to this tripod, and I have that hanging, and that's the view that we're seeing here, okay, which is going to be sort of mimicking the view that we're getting from the HD camera, okay. Apologies for the long intro to this video, and nice set up, thanks brother, and people, and I've set up the chat, obviously the chat's popping up, so I basically, you know, try to fine tune things that I'm able to do everything in one shot, right? So what we'll do, we'll spend a little bit of time just saying hello on salutations and stuff like this, and we'll do the probably after the shoot, we'll come back and do a little chit chat after the shoot, if you guys like mod, how the message for okay, that guy's going to be bad, the production quality has been rapidly evolving each stream, I love it, thanks man, thank you, I'm trying my best anyway. Oh man, how did we do, usually I like having at least one mod here, hello Spamalot, how are you doing? Until we get some mods, I'm gonna, because auto mod is, it's nice, is grabbing some, okay cool, I just ended up banning someone because they're, you know, the troll factory people, hello from Norway, hello from Canada, salutations, salutations, so we'll see what happens, I might, if we end up getting trolls and stuff like this, posting comments, and if we don't get any mods coming in, greetings from Turkey, hello Turkey, how are you doing? I know some Turkish words, what I might do is get rid of the chat in the view that we have here, so you won't see the chat appearing on this side, well we'll see how that goes, I might just leave it because the trolls end up coming and going, it's sort of like a gust of wind, it comes in, so how are we doing for time, we're about 11 minutes in, and oh yeah, let me, we did go through all the intro, the playlist and stuff, yep, I see those, and by the way on Saturday, what we're going to be doing, Saturday evening, we're going to be doing, thanks a lot for some spam a lot, I appreciate it, and on Saturday what we're going to be doing, we're going to be talking cryptocurrencies, hi Raze, how are you doing, Raze, what we're going to be doing is talking about cryptocurrencies, and again this is going to be a setup that we're going to do in another room, and I'm sort of experimenting with a little bit of lighting, and the setup I'm going to try to do for that video is going to be sort of along the same setup that we did for the finance videos, but it's going to be doing sunset and dusk, so there's a very limited time frame that we have, but the lighting is nice, it sort of gets darker and darker, so I'm going to set up some artificial lights as well, and hopefully capture those during the stream, so we'll see how that goes, and again all of this, some of these might be just test run shoot, we might not end up using this, you've clearly worked very hard over the last 10 years on YouTube, you deserve it, thank you very much man, I have, it's been fun doing it, wow what a learning process it has been, absolutely fantastic, really it's been an amazing learning career, I can't even think, imagine of doing something else, right, just the payback, the reward on a feel-good basis has been phenomenal, priceless, priceless, okay, so let's check it out, we don't have any mods here yet, so I think we'll keep the chat on, I don't think, we've got auto mod going and whatnot, so we're not getting too any bad text coming up, but I'll check the computer every now and then, okay, Jules, Jules, the cheers, thanks for the cheers brother, fun, let's check this out, that stuff is popping up, that stuff is popping up, so what do you guys say, should we do this, I gotta set up my recorder, and what I do with this is, I don't like setting it up before them because I do use tape, so I don't want too much pressure to be on it, so I basically throw the thing in, right, and I take a little bit of masking tape, just lock it up, let me show you, I pull it a little bit from here, right, just to make sure there's enough pressure on the connection in the top, because it's gotten a little loose, and if I don't do this, I get ticking sounds in the recording until the power might go into here, and I have to deal with that a little bit before I figured out what the problem was, I was almost on my way of buying some more equipment, Art Jules, how are you doing Chichu, for sharing time with grandma, love them again, thanks, it was fantastic, she kicked my ass, she kicked my ass, Archers, how do you feel about, how do you feel about, you don't know obligation, you don't have to say yes, how do you feel about becoming a mod on Twitch, again no obligation, since there's no mods here right now, and no obligation of staying really, for any length of time, I know it's a little bit of responsibility, I don't really want to make it a more, feel obliged to doing this type of stuff, so if you're okay with it, and I just usually turn this sucker on, it gives me a little thing, and a little bit of power mic has a little thing here that I've got to turn on, right, let me turn this guy on too, he hasn't replied yet, so might leave it as that, I would love to, just tell me what I have to do, no problem, you know what, I'll just do, and did it work, oh I misspelled your name, okay, you're a mod now, so you're gonna have a little sword up here by your name, and basically, I don't know, if I see, there's timeout function on chat, and there's a ban function, I just banned someone, because they were just blatant, like it was, it was like a two-year-old trod, right, it wasn't even two-year-old, it was like whatever it was, right, hey chichou, I made it, I hope it's not over, no we're just starting, we're just starting, we got a new mod, thank you, thank you brother, appreciate it, it's not a, you know, there's other mods, they're very helpful, there's no one here right now, the timing is wacko I guess, but it's an easy task, and no obligation, you can leave, come, decide to deal with people or not deal with people, okay, okay guys, so I got the set up, this is on, I got my camera on, I'm going to change the view, we'll keep the chat going, thank you Archers, Archers, okay, so let me do our little thing, and I'm not going to do any pop-up videos or anything, we're doing the live stream, I'm going to try to do all that in the editing of the video, and again, this is the first try at this, that's why staggered the streams, the next one is going to be saturday instead of tomorrow, because that way, if I don't like to shoot the way it's turning out, I'm going to redo it, okay, without live streaming, that way I have less to deal with, hello question 67, bro, captain grandpa 69, we'll go, we'll go, are we just starting, we are just starting, I'm about to change the angles, okay, and you'll find out what this video was about, I guess when we start shooting it, okay, here's the angles that we're going to use, and what I'm going to do is, I'm just going to lift the chair out that way, it's not too noisy, let me adjust myself, lock myself in, and I'll check the chat, chat, as often as I can, okay, let's set this up, where are you from, my brother, ancestry Armenian, I guess I'll start here, ancestry Armenian, born in Iran, most of my life in Canada, west coast, let's try this out, okay guys, let's try this out, so we're doing it for time, because 20 minutes to get this, so let me turn on the sound, make sure the sound's going, let's turn on the sky too, test, test, one, two, three, so we'll lock this guy up, turn on the camera, test, test, one, two, three, and what I do, I usually lock up the cord of the recorder as well, okay, that's good, apologies about the computer sound by the way, at some point we'll try to get rid of the humming of this computer sound, hopefully the lapel mic is not picking up too much, I can filter that out in the recordings, areas clear, areas clear, okay we'll do it lightly, so it's not too loud, this is Chichol, welcome to my channel, what I thought we'd do in this video is continue our discussion regarding how to study, and this is basically something sort of a playlist, the project we started a while ago, we're just trying to center things, hi everyone, this is Chichol, welcome to my channel, what I thought we'd do in this video is continue our discussion regarding how to study, basically if you recall we've put together a playlist talking about a few different things, a few different tips, sharing with you guys a few different tips that I have regarding studying, regarding learning something new, and if you recall what we've done is basically in the first video what we talked about is we sort of have to ask ourselves why it is that we're trying to study something, and we sort of, I did a sort of a little discussion on you know the perspective you can use on studying that you can either decide to hate what you're doing, or slowly try to realize that it is something that you need to do and sort of move towards loving what it is that you're doing, and that helps you retain the information a lot better, right, and then after that what we did, we put a second video talking about that it's usually a better idea to sit down and do long sessions, long steady sessions is sort of a lot of short ones, a lot of short ones are good for reviewing content, refreshing yourself, but if you're learning something new it's a better idea to do longer sessions, right, and from there we sort of went on into tip number three is basically talking about that it might be a good idea just to you know find your happy space, right, maybe sitting behind the table in it you know in a chair upright, studying what it is that you're studying, or going out to the park, going out to the beach, going for a walk if you want to recite something, memorize something, so basically be comfortable where you are, because if you're comfortable happy about where you are doing the work whatever it is that you're doing, the the odds are you probably retain that information and learn much faster, right, and what we did in the fourth video was basically tip number four, we talked about one of the best things you can do is set yourself up with a schedule and create a to-do list and you know start knocking things off, right, and if possible basically create a to-do list that has your needs and your wants and hopefully overlap those things and try to do a few things in one goal, right, basically layering your work and what's going to happen slowly you end up finding out that you end up getting a lot done, right, and then for tip number five basically what we did was take a look at on how we can read a textbook, right, and that's one thing that I found out with a lot of my students is you know they're given textbooks in school but a lot of them don't really appreciate, don't really know how to use the textbook, right, how to read a textbook, right, and then after that what we did was basically talk about when you're doing algebra specifically if you get some kind of problem in algebra there's a certain method to solving certain types of problems, right, so we talked about that it's a pretty good idea to be able to recognize the type of problem you're getting and familiarize yourself with the pattern required to solve that problem, right, get a visual of how to go about solving that problem and I thought what we do in this video is continue on with that discussion specifically overlaying this overlapping this with the fifth video we put out regarding on how to read a textbook because when you're doing what you're doing when you're reading a textbook is you're usually trying to take notes and we talked about that a little bit in that video where you can take notes either on the side or in the textbook itself highlighting things, right, but one of the things you can do is take a take notes in a notebook, right, so I thought what we'd do is take a look at some of the notebooks I've used over the years and I brought out basically six notebooks here okay just to show you guys but what we're gonna do is we're gonna flip through these two time allowing, right, but I have different types of notebooks that I use in different places sometimes I'm you know I want to be mobile so I don't carry the bigger larger textbooks sometimes I carry smaller textbooks with me sometimes I carry pieces of paper you know take a piece of paper and throw in your pocket with a pen if you're you know if you want to be mobile right so there's a lot of different ways that you can take notes taking notes is very personal and if you go online you'll find out that you know there's a whole bunch of different you know different things that people recommend on what the best practice is to take notes okay some people they sit there I mean this is one piece of paper that I have and that's sort of mobile for me to travel with right so and I usually like using 11 by 17 paper right large sheets of paper because I can fold them like this and if you're walking you don't have a table if you you know can't lean on something to write something these work out fine because they're thick enough that you can write on put pressure on right so you can sit there and go cheat you can write on it right and one thing you'll do is if you notice if you do a little bit of searching on what the best practice is on how to take it you know how to take notes you'll find out that different people recommend different things right some people say you know take notes in bullet form basically like this I'm not sure if this is coming out nicely or not let's see if we have a dark thicker pen here no we do it right here check this out nice so some people say basically you know to take point form like this and you know make titles make sections you know divide these things out like this and you'll see some of the stuff in the notes that I want to show you some people say basically if you're doing comparison you know create tables and write down notes if you're comparing things and use sort of bullet format when you're doing this as well right so you can break down your page in this format some people say there's some kind of standards that I did a search for when I was looking to see you know what else I could share with you guys some people say you know create you know this format which I've never used myself where you put basically a label here where you put basically a topic here whatever little specific notes that you have here when you're reviewing books and what not you can take your notes here and then over here you can post questions or you can talk about key issues right and then what you can do is summarize your information here right sometimes you end up taking notes where you have something centralized and you're feeding information into that or feeding out of that right if you're trying to understand a certain type of concept and we've done a little bit of this in some of the math videos we've talked about and you know you can put point form into these things so it's taking notes is extremely personal I had to think about this a lot when you know I was trying to share this information on how to take what some of the best note taking practices are and you can you know you can do a little search online and figure out for yourself what works best for you are you visual do you like flow charts do you like the table format like this which you can write a lot of notes here sort of in point form and then associate that with questions you might have or key points you might have do you like summaries at the end of the page do you like everything to be organized and tables and point forms and stuff like this right so taking notes is extremely personal and the best way to learn how to take notes is to start practicing start trying things out if you haven't done so before okay so I thought what we'd do instead of talking about all these different versions of taking notes that you can use I thought what we do is basically show you some of the notes that have taken over the years right and right now I have you know six book slip booklets here that we have I'm going to flip through two and I'm going to show you a couple things in these guys as well and one thing in this because this bottom one I just started right and just so you know this is just six of the notebooks I have there's three of them they're still open three of these are full up right but I need some information that I've put in here for some of the videos in the context we're creating right and I do have additional videos I have a couple of dozen of the additional textbooks I have a couple of dozen of these notebooks that I have that I've used over the years to create content to learn stuff or whatnot right and it's up to you how many textbooks you're comfortable as having floats for me I have this one
