 Hi everyone, this is Chih-chou. 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, right? I'm 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 our second video talking about that it's usually a better idea to sit down and do long sessions, long steady sessions, instead 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 a, 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 odds are you'll probably retain that information and learn it much faster, right? And what we did in the fourth video was basically in 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 go, 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 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 giving 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 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 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've brought out basically six notebooks here. Okay, just to show you guys 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 it in your pocket with a pen if you're, you know, 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 if, 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, if 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 your, 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, 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'm going 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 revealing books and whatnot, 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 and 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 have 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 in 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'd do is basically show you some of the notes that have taken over the years, right? And right now I have, you know, six booklets here that we have. I'm going to flip through two and I'm going to show you a couple of 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 that are 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, some of the contacts we're creating, right? And I do have additional videos. I have a couple of dozen of the additional textbooks. So 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 is an open textbook, right? It's not full up yet. These guys are full up. Like if I flip through this, all of this has been used, all the pages, okay? This one is full up as well. Okay. Oh, no, it's not full up. This one's got some space on it. Nice. We found some extra space we can use as well, right? But a fair chunk of this, more than half or about half is full up, right? And I'll show you this when we go through these guys. But basically, I use a whole bunch of different techniques of note taking. But my stuff is a little bit chaotic. And whenever I get something done when I'm creating content, I put, you know, I go through my notes and I put check marks through these things that things that I've gotten done. For example, if you take a look at this, this is a notebook that I had. I don't know when. But this is basically one of the things we created. How to study where longer is better, right? So this is related to one of the videos we put up for this set. And I have one here as well that I used that was flipping through this that was related to how to study as well, which is, you know, how to study. There's more, you know, highlights that I do here. Zero infinity. This is something of work in progress, basically. This is this is a playlist that we're going to keep going for a long time. And if you recall, here's. Here's some discussion we had about infinity, some math videos that we put together. OK, so this one is my sort of most recent traveling one, right? And again, this is sort of related to how to study type of material, a little bit chaotic, right? But some of this stuff we've already produced, right? I have a couple of ticks here that we've already gone through things, couple of check marks, and we'll see more when we do these guys. But take a look at this. Let me show you this one first. Actually, before we go through this one, let me show you these ones. Just the pieces of paper that I use when I'm traveling, for example, this is one sheet that I had that I just used for some of the more recent stuff. When I'm creating, when I'm taking notes on these types of paper, they're usually related to projects that I'm working on, that I'm trying to get finished that are that this one will talk about later. This is this is a workshop that I took a couple of weekends ago that I took some notes on. OK, but here is one where 11 by 17 paper. And what I can do is, you know, if I'm just trying to brainstorm, I can start it off in one location. And if the thought is continuing, I can open this up and then connect up to other areas. OK. And this is usually I use this type of format. Usually when I'm just in the process of getting a video out or writing an article or working on a project, right? Here's another one. This is related to a cryptocurrency video that we're going to do on Saturday, some sort of brainstorming. This is. This is some of the stuff we did in mathematics where I was taking notes doing preparation for the open discussion. We had some math and I was just brainstorming, making sure the information to flows in my mind and, you know, going for walks or something. What I would do is just take a piece of paper, you know, take the paper, put a pen like this, just lock it up, throw in my back pocket and go for a little walk and give myself a little peace and quiet and brainstorm. And then we ended up doing it. So I tick these things off, right? That means it's done so I can discard this. OK. As for formal type of laying things out, here's one that we did, certain notes that I took. OK. This is sort of a workshop that I was doing regarding comic books at a sort of a local independent school that asked me to do a little workshop regarding comic books. And I sort of linked it up with some more recent events, right? So I took some notes for myself and I took this book to that workshop. And this is a thicker book. And I usually only use this notebook at home. It doesn't leave my house or this style of notebook because this is something I just recently grabbed. I have additional versions of these that I've completed over the years. Right. So this is brand new. And I cracked this open specifically for the workshop. And I had little, you know, headings here that I was had point for, for example, you know, if you know about comic books and we put out a video sort of a live stream doing a little open discussion about this workshop. And we sort of brainstorm together, right? There's a lot of information that people during the chat on Twitch, they recommend that I do. So, for example, one of the topics that we did in that workshop was basically tourist versus purist, right? In terms of people who are comic book officials, they know the history of the characters versus people who are, you know, more in this thing through a realm of movies and stuff like this. And we had, you know, YouTube suggestions here, talking about Frank Miller, Watchman, History of Violence, Legion or whatnot. And then we had comic book code authority with censorship notes. And I left space here. Just in case I was going to take notes during the workshop, that, you know, the discussion, see where it went, right? And then we talked about, you know, had a little section on rice with Jack Kirby, Alan Moore and and whatever it is, right? And then we had heroes versus villains, diamond distributors and stuff like this. So this was a sort of a more formal version of me taking notes. And I have the rest of this book to work on. It's empty, right? So that's one version of a textbook I have in addition to, you know, my little traveling notepads that I use, right? So I thought what we'll do because one of these books is almost complete. This is almost complete. And this one is complete, basically, I believe, right? So what I do whenever I complete a notebook, OK, maybe for learning, studying, maybe for brainstorming, right? For ideas to create content on, right? So let's go through this and I'll show you a couple of different things that I do in these notebooks. OK, here's. You know, and I start from either side, I mean, notice my notebooks, the ones I refer to. Sometimes I start the notebooks from this way and I go this way. Sometimes I start the notebooks this way and I go this way. OK, for this one, what I want to show you is the formal type of note taking I do when it comes to revealing or learning material from a textbook. OK, and these notes are notes that I took. Let me show you this for those of you who know physics, who know mathematics, this is physics. You'll notice some of these formulas. OK, let me put all my glasses here, actually, because I just want to make sure I'm pointing to the right things coming up, right? Now, I took these notes just to give you a history of why these notes are here, right? Basically, my background is physics and mathematics, and I've worked with students teaching them mathematics mainly, but I've taught some students physics as well and some chemistry. And a few years ago, I had a physics student and basically what's happened over the years is the amount of physics, chemistry, tutoring that I do is completely gone. I don't touch chemistry anymore. I forgot a lot of material that I did. And the physics tutoring has reduced a lot as well. Basically, I've been focusing on mathematics. But what I was doing at a time a few years ago was tutoring. I had a couple of sisters in the same family that was tutoring. And one of them was working with mathematics. I see both of them was working with mathematics. One was a grade 11 and one was a grade 12. And the grade 12 student or the grade maybe she was in grade 11. I can't remember which one it was, but one of them that was taking physics, I believe it was grade 11 student that was working with. She took physics 11 as well. Physics 11 is a hard course in my area because it comes at you at a mile a minute and a whole bunch of different topics. They cover different sections of physics they cover and expect people to remember formulas and remember concepts and stuff like this. So she asked me if I could help her out. And since I hadn't taught physics for a while, what I had to do was review a lot of stuff. So I took my physics book out and I took some notes on physics and I watched some videos and I took some notes on videos, right? And this is the note that I put together from that information I was reviewing. This was basically a day or a couple of days of note taking, right? And we went over this with my students and the problem she was having is she didn't know how to take notes and just sitting down with her for an hour and going through this with her, she didn't need any more help in physics, right? She figured out how to study physics and that's why note taking is extremely personal because note taking varies depending on the type of course you're taking, right? If you're taking notes for physics, that note form taking is different than the type of note taking you might be taking for history or geography, right? Or pure mathematics, right? Or chemistry or whatever it might be or finance or business, right? This is the type of notes that I take for physics, right? So I basically do, you know, have titles and I write down variables, what the variables are. This is extremely important. I use a lot of diagrams, trying to explain things, write down laws, write down the formulas. And this was sort of me not learning the stuff from the beginning. It was me reviewing this content, relearning the stuff, right? And basically this is the type of notes that I take, right? I use a lot of drawings, okay? I use diagrams, I use arrows. I break things up. If you take a look at this, I break things up into sections, right? If you know physics, three levels of forces holding our world together, right? Nuclear force, electrical force and gravitational force and nuclear force is very small. So me just writing down, 10 to the negative two, because this is mathematics to me, right? This tells me this is on the micro scale, right? Small scale, electrical force, atomic scale, right? Thousands of kilometers, gravitational forces and stuff like this. We have, you know, different electromagnetic forces acting together. And then this was me, you know, lecture one was the above, lecture two was the bottom one. So I'm using titles, boxing in, highlighting formulas, using drawings, arrows to explain things to me. Definitely taking force diagrams for physics, laying this out for myself so comfortable with it, right? And this was basically me learning the stuff, laying the stuff down, going over it with my students, trying to explain to her what is the most important thing I was taking out of the lectures or the videos, okay? So that's one form of note taking and I have another one here as well. Let me see if I can find it. Oh, here we go. Is that the one? And here's another format as well, right? Taking notes from another book, right? And this was me doing my own review, right? For mathematics and I'm looking into kinematics, right? And I'm doing my review because I'm getting ready to do the videos that I've promised to do regarding cliff jumping, if you've been following my work there, right? We put out a little intro video regarding cliff jumping and some of the things sort of, you have to concern yourself with, be careful with sort of a disclaimer on cliff jumping. And again, since this is formulas, I'm highlighting the equations and the functions and writing down little notes for myself, right? Talking about particle points, free fall, constant downward forces, gravity, you know, acceleration and stuff like this because that's what we're gonna expand on, right? So these are the two little pages that I have that I've taken formal notes on, right? And I do little notes for myself, little points for myself saying, use these pages for how to study video, which is what we're doing right now, right? And I do have different color pens that I end up using, right? I usually, almost always, unless I'm really in mobile mode, I usually always at least have two different color pens because sometimes I end up highlighting things, right? And if I don't have two different color pens, what I end up doing when I'm reviewing my notes, I go through with different color pens and highlight things in different color, that way they stand out and I'll show you what that looks like, okay? So those are two places where I've taken formal notes the way I do. And one of the other things that I use for, you know, with my notebooks is I create to-do things, to-do list for myself if I'm trying to get things done and I cross them out, right? And this is one of my to-do lists that I used transfer cable. This is regarding creating content for the videos, right? Telling myself to remember to take the mic, remember to take the transfer cable, power cables and whatnot. Here's another table I've created for a festival I was going, right? Take what you need to take, cross that stuff out. And here's just some random notes I was taking for myself just before we did a video with, and this is a while ago with Dirk when we put the video together for the golden ratio and the golden triangle and how he ends up using the golden triangle and his videos to create his art, for his art to create his paintings and whatnot and how I look at the golden triangle and whatnot, right? So there's a lot of different things you can use your notebooks for, different ways you can take notes. And since I'm more in the mindset of creating content than learning new content, most of the stuff that I have in these two notebooks is me brainstorming, organizing, putting my thoughts together to create either videos or articles and whatnot, right? So I'm not sure if we're gonna start from the beginning from one side to go to the other. We did for that one and this video is open and this is, here, let me take you to where I am right now on this, just to show you. And this is, we have not many pages left open for this and we have just basically this many pages open for this and what I'm doing right now, I'm going through this notebook and this notebook because this is where I've got content regarding cryptocurrencies, most of the content regarding cryptocurrencies. I do have some content regarding cryptocurrencies in these three books as well and these two of these books anyway. So I've gone through those and I'm going through these guys and I'm compiling the information here, brainstorming for myself, creating a visual for myself for the video that we're going to do on Saturday, right? And this is a working visual that we're gonna link everything up to, right? Talking about how cryptocurrencies might play out, possibly a draft version, right? And I'm gonna spend the next couple of days after this video on tomorrow, sort of going through more of the notes and organizing and the final version might be different than this but this is one of the links for me to create content in a couple of days and it might morph, right? Sort of using my notebook in a formal sense, highlighting points that I like to talk about and creating a visual for myself, okay? And if we flip back from this, let's just flip backwards from this, right? This is something we've already done, okay? That I've got a tick on, right? This is something that I'm working on, this is something that we've done, put out a video on and I do sort of number my books, book 5,000, so I know which book 5,000 is. When I say this is a video that we put out regarding on how to eat if you have a beard, right? So I put a little visual, a couple of notes, points we want to make. This is a little bit of mathematics but I wanna take you to some of the places where it's a lot more chaotic, where you see multiple iterations of me going through the same material and the final product of the video, right? And again, tick mark, tick mark, done, done, possibly done, right? Sometimes it's chaotic, sometimes I'm taking these notes at home, sometimes it's in front of the computer, sometimes it's sitting on a table, right? Sometimes it's at the beach, sometimes I have the stuff going for a walk, sometimes I go to the park, okay? And again, a lot of material related on how to study. These two books have the other books as well. This is a video that we put together on how you can look at time, right? We put a ASMR math video together on how you can use mathematics to look at time, to look at life, right? And for, you know, there's more of this in here as well, but I ticked this off because I was cycling through the information and condensing it into more point form, right? I would do, sometimes I would do a page dump or purge onto a page like this and I'd go through this. This is just one iteration because there's only one color pen here and it doesn't look like I've gone through this a second time, right? For this one, it was basically me putting it into point form, some additional information that I have here that I laid out and making sure I was ready to do the video, right? And once I do it, I take it off. This is done so I don't have to look at that again when I'm going through my notes, right? Here's another one, how to study, find your happy place, happy spaces, plural. And we've already done this, right? This is something, a video that we already put out. This is something on how to study that we really haven't put out, but I've mentioned this, right? But I will make this more formal, which is basically learning from your mistakes. I'm gonna put a little bit of ratios on this, okay? I know that because I already have that information iterated a couple of more times in other notebooks. This is something we've already done. This is the infinity stuff we talked about, okay? Talking about infinity, talking about planks constant when you travel halfway every time. And there's a more detailed version of this in another textbook, but since I hadn't created that video when I hit here, now that the video is out, if I go through an iteration, if I already done, I already take it off that I know of, right? This is something we will be talking about. We've talked about it a little bit, okay? Here's where you see me going through more iterations, okay? You see multiple color pens. You see highlights in different forms. You see multiple do's, but no tics coming on, right? So this is a video that's gonna complement the infinity video that we've put out, that we've put out up here with a tic, but I'm gonna be putting out a couple of videos talking about zero and the meaning of zero for me the same way I did with the meaning of infinity, right? And for those of you interested, there's two different ways that I look at zero. One of them is having nothing of a unit, right? Having no money, no friends, no nothing of a unit, whatever it might be. And the second version of that you can think about zero is the absence of anything, which is a completely trippy concept if you wanna think about it, right? Try to think about nothing, right? Absence of anything, and that kicks off into a whole rabbit hole by itself, right? This is something that I've laid out for that we're going to do when it comes to mathematics and number lines, right? This is a conversation that I had with the idea came to me when talking about, when talking to someone that was teaching at university, their professor at university, and they were talking about history, and they mentioned that a lot of their students have a hard time, and I blew me away when she told me this. A lot of her students had a hard time appreciating the difference between BC and AD. They didn't appreciate the zero marker between BC and what AD meant, right? Which is basically Christian version of a timeline of how things progressed over the years, right? So at some point, we're gonna do this for mathematics, but I noted this down, jotted this down, and again, this is an iteration of another note that I took somewhere else, right? But basically, talking about a number line setting Christianity, BC, AD, but Muslims have the same thing happening. So do Hindus, so does the Jewish religion, right? So the Star Trek, right? So you can kick this off in a lot of places, and this is sort of ASMR math video I plan on doing, or the language of mathematics video I plan on doing to get the point across of what a number line is, right? This one is one iteration, and we will definitely be doing, and it's related to how to study, okay? These guys related to mathematics, this is a little note I made to myself to send a message to fuck fuck fucker, and these are friends of mine that are DJs that produce fantastic music, and I've seen some of their live shows, and they're very good. I've gone to a few of their shows, they're fantastic, and we do talk to each other, I should send them a message, actually, I haven't talked to them for a while. Little beard video. Here's another how to study video that we're going to create, and I said this is how to study number three, but it's not. This is going to be how to study number after number seven because this video that we're making right now is how to study number seven, which is how to take notes, right? But this is going to come in a future date, and it's basically talking about if you're going to be doing apprenticeship and how the concept of apprenticeship works, right? If you're learning something new, and this is the visual that I'm going to be talking about, sort of jumping from one location to another, right? And this is basically almost complete. I could probably pop this out after a couple of more run-throughs and taking notes and highlighting things, right? And here's some additional stuff that I have regarding advice that I've written down, right? And again, my note-taking is very messy in large part, okay? But sometimes I'm doing this in a windy day, right? Sometimes I'm doing this when I'm walking in a park, walking in the trails and sitting down in a little corner and trying to find the, because these aren't their flimsy things, notebooks, so I'm trying to make things, you know, find a hard surface to write on, right? Here's some stuff I got regarding Nujabas that I plan on taking. Let's flip through this, I'm going to, and this is something, and this one we've talked about. This is related to economics, talking about disruptive innovation, mergers and acquisitions, talking about differential accumulation, right? Capitalist power, and we've already created this, and I got a little tick mark. I should highlight this a little bit better, actually. That way I don't go through continuously read it, right? And here's some additional stuff that we've done. Tick marks, already done, already done, right? Looks like random, and it is random, but there is a train of thought, usually where there's one pen going through and writing things out, okay? Some layouts, some website layouts that I've done. And again, this is a little bit more notes about the same thing, the disruptive innovation, right? Sometimes I have to remind myself what it is that I wanna do, and I've already got a tick mark, but I'm gonna do it again in red, so it stands out, so I don't continue re-reading this stuff, right? And most of my books are tick mark, up to 80%, I retire them, right? Because for me, as long as I can get 80% of what I wanna get out, when it comes to shooting a video, writing an article, organizing, doing whatever it is that I'm doing, I'm happy with that, right? I'm happy with that. Here's some additional post, some stuff that we've already done, right? Already done. This is something we did when it came to breaking a line into pieces, right? And this is related to this stuff here, how to break a line into pieces, talking about a number line, and a number line directly kicks off into Cartesian coordinate system, your X and Y axes, and 3D as well, Z axes, right? So there's multiple iterations of things going through, and I put tick marks of the versions that I have done, and where it might lead up to, that way we can build up playlist series of stuff, right? And just some additional stuff, backgammon, which is recently put out a couple of live streams of me and my grandma playing backgammon, right? And we put out a backgammon video, multiple backgammon videos, talking about probability, Sokotoa Forever Trigonometry, and additional stuff, stuff that we've got done, some chaotic, some not, right? And this book is almost, and here again, how to deal with fractions, how to break a line into pieces, iteration, done, but at some point, we will definitely link this up too. Again, this, what BC and AD mean, right? What time frames mean, and put the different places where different cultures start their timeline, the way they're measuring dates, and take a look at where they all fit together, right? Sort of give a historical point of view to things. I think it would be brilliant to do, and it would really help some people out there having a hard time trying to understand, appreciate how AD and BC work, right? So that's still a working book that I have that I carry with me, because there's still a few pages left, right? Here's one that's been completed. And usually I put my name and an email address in the book, okay? Because just in case I lose this, this is a lot of material that would be lost. So if you treasure your workbooks, your notebooks, keep them, right? Make sure if you lose them, someone knows how to get ahold of you if they plan on getting ahold of you, right? And if you wanna know how old these notebooks are, all you have to do is take a look at when we loaded up some of these videos that we've already done, right? This one is an ASMR math video talking about GCF, right? What GCF meant, and we put out a video on this. And it was a very good video. It came out very well. I think I was able to get it done in one shoot, okay? And it's out there. You can see what the notes look like and what the end product was, right? ASMR sleep ratios. This is something that I've done that I wanna expand on a little bit more. A lot of stuff done on this in this book. This book is almost ready to be retired, almost ready. Here's some stuff regarding my Patreon page that I laid out, okay? That I've already implemented and some of the stuff that we're going to do. And thank you for all of you people that are seriously supporting me through Patreon that has been one revenue stream that I have that I can rely on, that I can transition into a more full-time mode, right? So it is something that I work on continuously and take notes on and is in transition. And we will do a lot more stuff there as well, right? Here is what we talked about again, the video of looking at how old someone else, how the perception of time varies with age, right? We had some of the notes in the other book and this is where I started laying it out more precisely of how I want to approach that video. And this was basically the last place that I sort of did an iteration of things, this book, before we put out that video, okay? And this was me going off multiple rabbit holes that I might expand on when we start talking about time, okay, because I do plan on doing a little bit more when it comes to time and how the perception of time varies with age and varies with our experiences and our mindset. And depending on the state of mind that we're in, extremely important concept, okay? This is something we've laid out when it comes to comic books and we've sort of touched on this for the comic book haul videos. We put a table together but we will be expanding on this a lot more. That's why there's no, there's one tick mark here but I took that off because I'm gonna be expanding on it more. So I'm gonna go through multiple iterations of this, okay? Here's something that I plan on doing when it comes to ASMR math, when it comes to looking at the chart where we talked about mergers and acquisitions and growth and economics specifically, right? But an example we could use, take a look at and see if we can dig up some charts when it comes to oil extraction, renewable energies, when it comes to wood versus coal, when it comes to coal versus oil and take out some of those concepts, some of those data that we have and see what they tell us regarding our society looking at it through the lens of mathematics, right? Here's just some point forms where people have asked me what are some hip-hop artists I've looped the most, right? Here's powerful movies that I remember, right? Should we read these or let's read these? Here's some powerful movies that I remember that just jotting them down with speedy Gonzales style, right? Blade Runner, American History X, There Will Be Blood, To Kill a Mockingbird, Existence, Anything Charlie Chaplin, The Matrix, Moulin Rouge, the next two are from videos for war movies, Paths of Glory, we've put, I put out a video regarding movies, Paths of Glory, Come and See, Scarface, right? Here's some hip-hop artists that I've listened to the most, Dead Press, Tupac, Big Pun, Big Al, Biggie, South Park, Mexican, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Wu Tang, Public Enemy, Nujabas, Damien Marley put out two albums that were fantastic, right? Here's some stuff regarding how to study. We'll approach it at some point, right? Have to go iterations, right? Here's some stuff on how to study. This is something we're gonna put out. I was actually gonna put out this video as being number seven, tip number seven, but we're making this video tip number seven taking notes because it's sort of related to how to read a textbook, right? But according to the time when I was writing this, because it's been, I guess, a couple of years since we put out any videos for that playlist, it was review your notes and I've laid out some stuff that we're gonna review, but reviewing your notes is definitely a how to study tip and at some point we'll definitely put out a video on how to study on how to review your notes, right? Here is some stuff we put together and this is more recent, okay? I just recently finished this book in the last six months or so, this notebook of mine, but this is some stuff we put together regarding personal finance and economics and we were able to, from this point on, just to give you an idea of what final pages look like in my notebooks when I put out a set of videos from here to a few pages, if the notes that I took that I prepared myself for to put out, I believe, you know, for five hours of videos, talking about differential accumulation, capitalist power, mergers and acquisitions, talking about cryptocurrencies, investing, personal finance, automation, there's a whole bunch of material we went through, right? And this is the final time me looking at it, having this in front of me when I'm shooting that video, okay? So this again, this is very personal and this is the way I produce content is very chaotic, but there are things here that I've looked at so many times that they pop out to me, okay? So this is what it looks like, okay? I just made this note down just for automation, just so you know where this video came out and this is sort of the drawing that we had, the visual going through it, me doing multiple ticks saying yes, I covered that, yes, I covered that, yes, I covered that, okay? We did one video like this, right? Regarding the timeframe, okay? There's a little bit of tick marks here, grease that I'm gonna connect up to grease, I didn't mention it, I should possibly put a tick mark here, but I won't because I've taken some notes somewhere else that I wanna link up to grease, specifically in regards to currencies, we might tackle some of this information in the Saturday video, maybe, right? Because I'm still reviewing some stuff. Here's some stuff regarding fintech financial technology, right? That I wrote down regarding automation, me circling things, highlighting things, making sure they popped out to me when I'm doing the video or when I'm reviewing, right? What I take out of this, okay? Here's the visual that we used in the video of automation, which is the quick version of the smaller version here, right? I made a bigger version because that's the way it's unfolding for me and then creating in table format for myself, right? That sort of table format of one merging onto the other. And again, little note for myself saying automation done, just because when I was going through this, this is what I wanted to show you. What I needed to do to be able to create that video regarding automation, okay, the final version. And this as well, personal finance, right? This is definitely something we will be doing. I don't have a tick mark on this, right? And we're gonna link it up to Mystic number six to the comic book haul we did when I showed you how I bought you. Mystic number six graded for a ridiculously cheap price and we'll definitely link up to currencies and whatnot, okay? Here's another math scale system, okay? Number line that we will be doing. Here's another number line that we were doing. And since we're here, I'm not sure we're gonna put this out, okay? And this is again related to this thing. But since we're doing this, going through my notes, right? And making it personal. As I mentioned, I will be making a video regarding a number line of how you can look the world through the lens of mathematics on how a number line can change your perspective on life on a system that you're looking at or a concept that you're looking at or your work or your anything, right? On the extreme front, okay? This is an extremely touchy subject, but this is another place that you can use a number line to get a point across, which is where, right? You would consider life to begin. Is it, and it's something we, I sort of dropped the hint at in the video that we put together when it comes to how the perception of time varies with age. I sort of hinted towards it, right? But I'm thinking about putting out a full-out video on this in ASMR math format, tackling the issue of abortion, the right to life, the right to choice, and when, legality-wise, laws are being applied, right? Here's the end here, right? The one end on your number line, which could be your zero starting point, which could be intercourse or for some, it might be first meeting, right? And all the way to birth of a child, right? Recently, in one of the states, and this just came out a week ago, and I knew where this note was when I was going through this, so I made another note in a different color pen for myself. Just last week, I believe, or a few days ago, one of the states in the United States changed their laws and stated that life, the point of a child being recognized in the womb as having life is when the first heartbeat can be detected, right? And there's a discussion right now in that state between those who want to change the number line, move the scale either towards this way or that way, right? And again, I'm not sure if I'm ever gonna do this, but that is one way you could look at it as well, where the mathematical perspective to laws, to our society, to life can be brought into full view, right? On a simple number line, right? Here's the notes we took, and again, this was in personal finance, economics, and this was basically a couple of pages. I think I got four or six pages of notes that I had on this because I was juggling a lot of data. I was looking at when it came to investing, what was a good investment, and putting that on a timeline, on a logarithmic scale, and taking a look at what your rate of return would have been if you invested in different types of funds and different types of places, right? And I've gone through this, multiple of their iterations where I've highlighted stuff, used different color pens, check, mark stuff. And here is more of the things, little point forms that I wanted to talk about, taking data, right? Preliminary data and looking at different growth rates and trying to make sense of it all for myself, right? And how to best present the information graphically, right? Here's a lot of notes, and if you wanna know where all this was used, this is in the videos we put it together regarding personal finance and economics, right? A lot of data was put in that video. A lot of information I looked at was put into the video, right? We talked about currencies or different places you could have invested your money in, right? There's one story I read with by Asimov, and I believe it was called Happenings where the credit, the currency was no longer something tangible, it was a person's point of view, right? And here's the final table that we ended up putting together. There was a lot of data that had left in my notebook that we didn't put, right? In that video, but again, as far as I'm concerned, if I was able to cover 80% of this content, I was happy, and I was very happy with that video, right? So this is sort of high end of creating content. I brainstorm for myself. Here's a little discussion of cryptocurrencies we're going to have, right? Highlight it, do the relevant information marked off, right? So I can take a look at it and appreciate what it is and introduce it as quickly as possible in the videos without pausing too often, right? Video for a recap, personal finance. So we've already done this one, I should put a tick mark on this. And in the next couple of days, I'm going to go through this information, this book, right? And this is, do this very soon. This is something, how to take notes. This is the one, right? So how to study, how to take notes, and this is the video that we're doing, right? Do this soon, very soon next week, blah, blah, blah, right? Highlighting it for myself, right? Making sure we get this video done. And when going through these notes for the cryptocurrencies, this is what popped out for me and this is the reason why we're doing this video, right? So I can put a tick mark on this because we're doing this video right now. And every time I put a tick mark in my notebook of things I wanted to get done, it makes me feel that much better, right? Makes the world that much sweeter, right? And this is what we looked at already. The notes I'm taking for putting together a cliff-jumping video. And I leave little spaces, right? More notes on cliff-jumping video, Newton's Laws of Motion, but I had space here so I filled this up with information coming in this direction, right? This goes to here, this goes to here, and this goes to here, right? The thoughts being connected with arrows, right? So don't worry about mucking things up as long as you know where things are, right? If you need a certain type of thought to go in a certain direction because you have information there, make sure it goes in that direction. Don't worry about being too organized with your notes if this is what you're comfortable with. Here's the video we put out regarding the alternate rules to Monopoly. And for those of you who like games, who like that video, who like playing Monopoly, with my gaming group, we've been playing a lot of videos, a lot of videos, we've been playing a lot of Monopoly games. It's basically become our main game that we've been playing in the last three or four months. And what we've come up with is an alternate system of playing. So right now we're switching between the game style that we played in the video that we put out of how to play Monopoly. And I'm gonna put out a video of showing the alternate rules that we've introduced. So we're doing sort of tag team and playing a one, playing in this version once and then playing in this version the second time. We're playing two of these guys and one of these guys. And this version is brilliant. It's absolutely fantastic. It gives it another take on Monopoly which is for those of you that love poker, it's fantastic. It's a great game, right? And here's some info regarding cryptocurrencies. And what I do with these things, I use stickies and this is I write down crypto here. So in the next couple of days when I go through this book, I'm gonna take all this crypto information and crypto, crypto and compile it all into one location, right? And make sure we have the right visual when we're talking about this or a nice visual the way I perceive things to be or the way I wanna portray that information in the video on Saturday and hopefully it'll work out, right? And this is again, one iteration of the crypto visual that I have that I wanna share that we already talked about a little bit in a previous crypto video that we put out, right? Because we do have a cryptocurrency playlist as well and we're building content there as well. There's four videos I believe we put out and we're gonna be putting on a lot more, right? Some advice because people have been asking me to give some advice regarding different things. More crypto discussion, more advice, more advice, more advice. More advice, never underestimate how things can escalate, right? More advice, more advice. Some stuff we've already done and more crypto talk, right? And this is an open book still. Where is it? Is this one? Oh no, this is the dead one. This is the one that we're working on, right? And this is where we are, choo. And again, this visual is very much like the previous visual that we saw here, right? Because I've taken some of that information incorporating it into another design that we're gonna do for another live stream, the cryptocurrency live stream, right? So that's about it, gang. This is sort of the way I end up taking notes. I end up learning. There's less learning for me to do right now because I've gone through many, many, many moons of learning and I will continue to do that as well. Right now I'm just in a production mode. So most of the notes that I have right now are more geared towards producing content instead of learning new material, even though I am going through and taking notes and learning and compiling data, right? But at some future date, I will go through a learning spurt again and I will take on a couple of textbooks and maybe take on some online lectures or maybe even take a course and start taking more formal notes where I wanna learn some new material, right? And always, always do not forget, do not forget. If you're gonna be mobile, if you wanna be mobile and taking notes, a piece of paper with a pen, and I do have small pens that I use as well, right? That don't stick out of my back pocket. Piece of paper with a pen is a fine way of taking notes if you need to brainstorm and you need to go for a walk or whatnot, okay? I hope this helps you out. I hope this gives you an idea of, you know, some of the note-taking techniques that you can use and don't be afraid of using highlighters, different color pens. Don't be afraid of mocking up the textbook if you're not too, if you need to, okay? That's about it for now and I'll see you guys in the next video.
