In this video, I do a demonstration with a few of the components of my study system. Using this system, I was able to study for my Master's semester in about 1/6th of the normal estimated time. I was able to achieve High Distinction and my work was categorised as an exemplar.

The focus is on creating that high quality encoding which forms that stable foundation for future learning.

I demonstrate the use of "chunking" which is shown to bypass working memory capacity limitations and how this integrates with "chunkmapping", the variation of mindmapping that I teach. There are also a number of other techniques that I use, which other videos will individually focus on, but this shows an overview of how the system can come together.

The key areas of challenge for beginners doing this are:
- Insecurity at not writing so many notes
- Insecurity at not writing linear notes
- Discomfort from the chunking and encoding process (cognitive load which you may not be used to) - this discomfort can be misinterpreted as bad, whereas it can actually be the total opposite, where the normal, passive learning which was very comfortable was just a waste of time.
- Proper chunkmapping technique
- Evaluating the quality of chunks and chunk structures
- Breaking framing bias when doing syntopical reading

I will endeavour to cover each of these in other videos to come.

If you enjoyed what I had to give or found it valuable, a subscribe would be sincerely appreciated.
