Summary of "How to make studying so FUN, it almost feels like a video game..."
Key Wellness and Productivity Strategies from the Video:
- Use Video Game Logic to Make Studying Fun:
- Match the difficulty of your study material to your current skill level, similar to skill-based matchmaking in games.
- Avoid overwhelming yourself with content that's too advanced, or bored by content that's too easy.
- Ground-Up Studying Method:
- Start revising from earlier chapters or previous years’ Textbooks to build a strong foundation.
- Identify gaps in your knowledge and fill them before moving on to more advanced topics.
- This approach prevents frustration and makes studying more enjoyable because challenges match your skill level.
- Think of it like "dropping down arenas" in a game to win more and build confidence before leveling up again.
- Mindset Shift:
- Stop focusing solely on grades or Achievements; instead, focus on enjoying the learning process.
- When studying is fun and engaging, motivation and productivity naturally increase.
- Humble yourself to acknowledge what you don’t know and be willing to revisit past material.
- Practical Action Steps:
- Open old Textbooks or notes and review previous chapters.
- Find the topics you are 100% confident in and use them as a starting point.
- Gradually build up to current-level material by filling in knowledge gaps.
- Remember that revisiting old material is faster than learning new content because you’re “speedrunning” rather than starting fresh.
- Analogy for Studying:
- School = Video game levels
- Chapters = Quests
- Quizzes = Mini-bosses
- Exams = Big bosses
- Grades = Achievements or ranks
- Play for fun, not just for Achievements.
