hey guys in r/GetMotivated
I am really want to share my own experience on how to learn via YouTube, yes most people just watch, they can't even remember what they watch, disagree? just tell me what the last YouTube you watch tell you 1,2,3…
I used to "learn" like this as well, but one day, my wife come aside and ask me "what is this YouTuber talking about?", I can't even say it systematically, I can only shout out "em, well, you can check the title here, is about how to validate your startup ideas fast" "OK, how" "well, I lost it"
then I heard the laugh 🤣 I think the key pain points is self-learning is rely too much on "input" but not "output", if you study in school, teachers will give you essay tasks or homework to help you practice, but we lost this step when self-learning via YouTube
ok, if this is true, how to optimize our learning processing or system? Just add "Practice Plan"
But how?
I build a tool(check screenshot here) can make this: paste YouTube url and get the video summary and interactive to-do checklist with tracking system, which means I can:
- Summary: I can retro what I watched and read the content fast and systematically
- Interactive checklist: Tell me how to follow the YouTubers to get actions step by step, and the tasks is automatically divided by time
- Tracking system: I can check percentage or the whole process, and give me streak when I finish one
I did it and use it, it's so helpful, just like you can turn any "How-to YouTube" into your own Duolingo,😂
if you are interested, I will teach you how to use it, comment or DM me if you want
