00:00:00
a huge thank you to Squarespace for
00:00:01
sponsoring this video now let's get
00:00:03
straight into it have you ever sat at
00:00:05
your desk staring at your notes and
00:00:06
thought to yourself why do some people
00:00:08
Ace their exams effortlessly while I'm
00:00:10
left putting in hours of hard work just
00:00:12
to keep up maybe you've even thought
00:00:14
what do they know that I don't well let
00:00:16
me introduce you to Ayan Koji kotaka a
00:00:19
character who's not just good at
00:00:20
studying but has completely mastered the
00:00:22
art of learning now what if you could do
00:00:24
the same you see there's a method A
00:00:26
system that explains why some people
00:00:28
achieve exceptional results without
00:00:30
working themselves to exhaustion it's
00:00:32
not luck and it's not about being born
00:00:34
smarter it's about how to work with your
00:00:36
brain instead of against it so today I'm
00:00:38
going to walk you through Ayano koji's
00:00:40
Advanced study framework a step-by-step
00:00:42
guide that combines biological
00:00:44
optimization strategic techniques and
00:00:46
environmental Mastery to give you the
00:00:48
edge you've been searching for and
00:00:50
here's the best part this isn't just
00:00:51
Theory it's practical science-backed and
00:00:54
proven to work oh and as a bonus stick
00:00:56
around until the end and I'll even
00:00:58
reveal how you can gain an almost un
00:01:00
Fair advantage using a tool so Advanced
00:01:02
even ioji himself would
00:01:06
approve the first thing we're going to
00:01:08
talk about is your environment why
00:01:10
because no matter how strong your
00:01:12
willpower or how advanced your study
00:01:14
techniques are your environment will
00:01:16
always have the final say in how focused
00:01:18
and productive you can be just think
00:01:19
about the white room everything there
00:01:21
was designed to eliminate distractions
00:01:23
and amplify focus and for you to do the
00:01:25
same we're going to have to start with
00:01:27
something unexpected lighting have you
00:01:29
ever considered how much the lighting in
00:01:30
your room affects your focus it might
00:01:32
seem trivial but it's one of the most
00:01:34
underrated tools for transforming your
00:01:36
workspace into a productivity Powerhouse
00:01:38
in I aoi's training environment the
00:01:40
bright intentional lighting wasn't just
00:01:43
there for Aesthetics it actually
00:01:44
triggers the release of dopamine
00:01:46
norepinephrine and just the right amount
00:01:48
of cortisol which puts the brain in a
00:01:50
state of sharp focus and alertness now
00:01:53
imagine if you could replicate this in
00:01:54
your own space for that you first have
00:01:56
to always keep your overhead lights on
00:01:58
when you work this is scientifically
00:02:00
proven to activate specific cells in
00:02:02
your eyes called melanops and ganglion
00:02:04
cells these cells communicate directly
00:02:06
with your hypothalamus the part of your
00:02:08
brain responsible for making you feel
00:02:10
awake and focused but that is not all if
00:02:12
you're working on a screen turn the
00:02:14
brightness all the way up and if you
00:02:15
really want to invest in your focus
00:02:17
consider getting a bright LED or ring
00:02:20
light the blue light they emit is
00:02:21
perfect for stimulating those Focus
00:02:23
enhancing cells but here's the thing
00:02:25
even the best artificial light can't
00:02:27
compete with the power of natural
00:02:28
sunlight so if you have a window near
00:02:30
your desk position your workspace to
00:02:32
face it better yet open the window why
00:02:34
because looking at sunlight through
00:02:36
glass is 50 times less effective at
00:02:38
boosting alertness the glass filters out
00:02:40
critical wavelengths of blue light that
00:02:42
your brain needs to wake up of course
00:02:43
bright light isn't always beneficial
00:02:45
before bed keep your room dim to avoid
00:02:47
disrupting your sleep cycle now let's
00:02:49
talk about something you probably
00:02:50
haven't considered where you're looking
00:02:52
your focus improves when you're looking
00:02:54
at something slightly above eye level
00:02:56
that's because the neurons controlling
00:02:58
eye movement are linked to area areas of
00:03:00
your brain stem that control alertness
00:03:02
so to leverage this elevate your screen
00:03:04
or book by a few inches so you're
00:03:06
naturally gazing upward also sit up
00:03:09
straight I know it's tempting to sink
00:03:10
into your chair but a slouched posture
00:03:12
sends your brain into a low energy State
00:03:15
think about it even as you're watching
00:03:16
this video how are you sitting if you
00:03:18
are slouching then straighten your back
00:03:20
lift your screen and notice the
00:03:21
difference in how engaged you feel
00:03:23
finally let's address your environment
00:03:25
as a whole look at your desk right now
00:03:27
how many unnecessary items are on it
00:03:29
each piece of clut might not seem like a
00:03:30
big deal but collectively they're
00:03:32
draining your mental energy in the white
00:03:34
room the environment is stripped of
00:03:35
distractions you can replicate this by
00:03:37
keeping only the essentials Within Reach
00:03:39
and banishing your phone to another room
00:03:41
yes your phone the friction of having to
00:03:43
physically get up to retrieve it will
00:03:45
dramatically reduce the number of times
00:03:47
you impulsively reach for it now before
00:03:49
we move on to biological optimization
00:03:51
let me show you something that ioi would
00:03:54
definitely appreciate efficiency and
00:03:56
Precision in action if you've ever
00:03:58
thought about building your own website
00:03:59
blog or online store Squarespace is the
00:04:02
ultimate tool to help you do it no
00:04:04
matter your skill level I've tested it
00:04:06
myself and with their blueprint AI tool
00:04:08
it feels like having your very own white
00:04:10
room instructor for web design with it
00:04:12
you can create a personalized
00:04:14
professional website in no time one that
00:04:16
truly reflects your goals and Ambitions
00:04:18
whether you want to share ideas sell
00:04:20
products or connect with your friends or
00:04:22
audience Squarespace makes it seamless
00:04:24
now another feature that truly stood out
00:04:26
to me is their courses option which lets
00:04:29
you design and sell your own courses
00:04:30
with tools that make the process smooth
00:04:32
and intuitive and with Squarespace
00:04:34
payments managing transactions is
00:04:36
effortless giving your audience multiple
00:04:38
ways to pay while keeping everything
00:04:40
streamlined for you so if you're ready
00:04:42
to build something as methodical and
00:04:44
effective as the strategies we discuss
00:04:46
on this channel head to squarespace.com
00:04:49
methodical mind and use the code
00:04:51
methodical mind to save 10% off your
00:04:54
first purchase of a website or
00:04:58
domain imagine flipping a switch in your
00:05:00
brain making it more flexible alert and
00:05:03
ready to absorb knowledge That's The
00:05:05
Power of neuroplasticity the brain's
00:05:07
ability to adapt and grow but here's the
00:05:09
important part neuroplasticity doesn't
00:05:11
just happen your brain needs to be in
00:05:13
the right State alert yet focused so let
00:05:16
me show you a quick science-backed
00:05:17
breathing technique to Kickstart
00:05:19
neuroplasticity take 25 to 30 deep
00:05:22
breaths by inhaling through your nose
00:05:24
and exhaling through your mouth on the
00:05:25
last breath exhale fully and hold for 15
00:05:28
to 60 seconds then take a single deep
00:05:31
inhalation and hold again for a moment
00:05:33
when doing this you effectively flood
00:05:35
your system with epinephrine the
00:05:37
chemical that jump starts your brain's
00:05:39
adaptability and by the way don't just
00:05:41
hear about this try it right now and
00:05:43
feel the difference for yourself now
00:05:44
that your brain is primed let's talk
00:05:46
about Focus you already know focus is
00:05:48
crucial for studying but have you ever
00:05:50
tried sharpening it in just 30 seconds
00:05:53
here's how pick a single point in your
00:05:54
room and stare at it for 30 to 60
00:05:56
seconds blink naturally but let your
00:05:58
gaze stay fixed this exercise aligns
00:06:00
your cognitive processes by limiting
00:06:02
distractions and narrowing your mental
00:06:04
bandwidth so you can think of it as a
00:06:05
kind of warm-up for your brain but
00:06:07
here's the thing about Focus it's not
00:06:09
just about going Full Speed Ahead
00:06:11
Sometimes the best way to learn is to do
00:06:13
nothing that's where the Gap effect
00:06:15
comes in when you take short 10-second
00:06:17
breaks during study sessions your brain
00:06:19
doesn't stop it replays the information
00:06:21
you just learned at 10 times the speed
00:06:23
which solidifies those neural
00:06:24
connections on top of that these micro
00:06:27
pauses also help your brain make new
00:06:28
connections and spot Solutions you might
00:06:30
have missed so next time you're studying
00:06:33
remember that a little nothing can go a
00:06:34
long way now let's talk about something
00:06:37
that happens after you finish studying
00:06:39
but has a massive impact on what you
00:06:40
retain adrenaline spikes right after
00:06:43
learning introduce a controlled stressor
00:06:45
to signal to your brain that the
00:06:46
information is important for example you
00:06:48
could drink a cup of coffee or take a
00:06:50
quick cold shower that jolt of
00:06:52
adrenaline they both release acts like a
00:06:54
highlighter for your brain which marks
00:06:56
the newly learned material as essential
00:06:58
finally let's seal it all in with
00:07:00
non-sleep deep rest or nsdr a method
00:07:03
designed to supercharge your memory and
00:07:05
replenish your focus during nsdr your
00:07:08
brain shifts into a state of deep
00:07:09
recovery which consolidates what you've
00:07:11
learned and prepares you for the next
00:07:13
round you can try things like guided
00:07:15
meditation deep breathing or progressive
00:07:18
muscle relaxation and there are a lot of
00:07:20
free protocols on YouTube so there
00:07:22
really is nothing stopping you from
00:07:24
starting today now before we move on to
00:07:26
the most exciting part of this framework
00:07:28
keep this in mind if if you're serious
00:07:30
about mastering biological optimization
00:07:32
don't just watch this section once
00:07:34
rewind it take notes and put these steps
00:07:37
into practice the difference you'll feel
00:07:39
is
00:07:40
[Music]
00:07:42
undeniable Ayan koji's Edge lies in his
00:07:45
efficiency and with AI you can tap into
00:07:48
that same Advantage imagine having a
00:07:50
system so Advanced it's like having your
00:07:52
own white room instructor guiding you
00:07:54
step by step that's the potential of AI
00:07:57
yet it's baffling how few people fully
00:07:58
embrace it for learning most see AI as a
00:08:01
curiosity or a shortcut but here's the
00:08:03
truth AI is a tool and if you know how
00:08:05
to use it it can become your Ultimate
00:08:07
Ally in dominating your studies today
00:08:09
I'm going to show you how to harness its
00:08:11
power step by step to make learning
00:08:13
easier faster and far more effective
00:08:15
than you ever thought possible let's
00:08:17
start with previewing one of the
00:08:19
simplest yet most overlooked strategies
00:08:21
research shows that familiarizing
00:08:23
yourself with a topic before class
00:08:25
drastically improves comprehension and
00:08:27
engagement here's where AI steps in ask
00:08:30
chat GPT for a clear concise outline of
00:08:32
the topic you'll be covering something
00:08:34
like provide me with a simple and
00:08:36
understandable overview of topic X then
00:08:39
take a moment to read the output and to
00:08:41
really engage your brain think of
00:08:42
critical questions about what you just
00:08:44
read you don't even need to actively
00:08:46
search for the answers just let those
00:08:48
questions linger your subconscious mind
00:08:50
your rapid response unit will work on
00:08:52
them in the background while you're
00:08:53
doing other tasks like walking or
00:08:55
showering it's basically like putting
00:08:57
your brain on autopilot learning mode
00:09:00
now let's move Beyond chat GPT to one of
00:09:02
the most underrated AI tools image
00:09:04
generators these are a GameChanger when
00:09:06
it comes to memorization here's how it
00:09:08
works break a complex topic into smaller
00:09:11
chunks and then use an AI image
00:09:13
generator to create visual
00:09:15
representations of each piece for
00:09:17
example if you're studying
00:09:18
photosynthesis create images that
00:09:20
symbolize the process like Roots as
00:09:22
straws drinking water or leaves as open
00:09:25
mouths inhaling CO2 bubbles why does
00:09:28
this work so well it's B based on the
00:09:29
Dual coding Theory which shows that
00:09:31
combining Visual and verbal information
00:09:33
reinforces memory and understanding by
00:09:35
creating prompts for the images you're
00:09:37
actively engaging with the material and
00:09:39
when you review those visuals you
00:09:41
activate different neural Pathways which
00:09:43
makes recall effortless but let's get
00:09:45
back to chat GPT though because it has
00:09:47
one more superpower creating analogies
00:09:50
we naturally learn better when we can
00:09:51
relate new information to something we
00:09:53
already know and analogies naturally tap
00:09:55
into these existing schemas in your
00:09:57
brain making Concepts e easier to grasp
00:10:00
without AI creating effective analogies
00:10:02
could take forever but now just type
00:10:05
generate five analogies to explain
00:10:07
concept X from different perspectives
00:10:09
and highlight their strengths and
00:10:10
weaknesses want to go even deeper ask
00:10:12
chat GPT to include both verbal and
00:10:15
visual elements in the analogy and use
00:10:17
these as inspiration for creating AI
00:10:19
generated visuals together this approach
00:10:22
simplifies complex topics while
00:10:24
reinforcing them from multiple angles
00:10:26
but learning doesn't stop there testing
00:10:28
yourself is critical to solidify what
00:10:30
you've learned and pinpoint gaps in your
00:10:32
understanding here chat GPT can generate
00:10:35
multiple choice questions fill in the
00:10:36
blank exercises or even true false
00:10:39
statements tailored to your study
00:10:40
material finally let's talk about the
00:10:42
ultimate AI feature creating
00:10:44
personalized study plans whether it's
00:10:46
for school or a new language you've
00:10:48
always wanted to master chat GPT can
00:10:50
design a syllabus for your exact needs
00:10:52
just include details like your current
00:10:54
level your goals and your time frame and
00:10:56
let AI do the rest for example if you're
00:10:58
learning a language specify whether you
00:11:00
want to focus on speaking reading or
00:11:03
writing the more precise your prompt the
00:11:05
better your results and remember always
00:11:07
think critically about what AI provides
00:11:10
evaluating its output is part of the
00:11:11
learning process if this video gave you
