Photographic Memory: My System to Remember Everything

I personally believe memorising something comes from passionate interest. It’s like being able to promptly recall a song melody and its lyrics; there’s no coercing or manipulation involved, only passion. Many people make the mistake of reading a non fiction book 📕 once then put it aside hoping that the facts will present themselves in their memory. Learning is to revisit voluntarily the interesting facts again and again till they become second nature and began to make logical sense being interconnected to each other and to new facts. Never think you’re too old to revisit previously learned facts and brand new ones

Learning is not about memorising but being passionate about the subject and trying to understand by analysing it

As a therapist, I really appreciate how transparent you've been about utilizing therapy to help you manage the stressors of medical school and ultimately accomplish your goals. Working with highly intelligent, high-achieving women is so fulfilling for me. And, I'm also a homeschool mom and have found many of the learning tools you describe to be very similar to ones I use with my children, always connecting new information to things they already know and keeping things in context. Love your videos and congrats on passing your exams!

This is phenomenal. This is exactly how I've learned all the things I've retained long-term, and i didn't even realize it.

This is SO true for doctors. When we are reading, the prompt is the "heading" of let's say "glaucomas". But in REAL life, the patient is going to present as "pain in eye" or painless peripheral visual loss which can take you into completely opposite areas of differentials. Text books need to flip the formats on their head and group diseases as for example "painless, vs painful" as you said. I figured this out on my own a couple of months back because i too struggle with senseless mnemonics. Mnemonics arent natural OR patient centered. Doctors need to be able to make intelligent connections, not jut memorise without pathophysiological context or without understanding how the patient experiences the disease. We have AI for that. In the text books, they go from the tree trunk toward the branches but in REAL clinical settings we'll have to trace our way back to the trunk FROM a branch. They need to design textbooks in a "presenting complaint and its differentials" centered approach to create better diagnosticians. You're a bit of a genius. Whatever neurodivergence you have it has made you really good at insight and pattern recognition and you have the language skills to "capture" those ideas and present them <3

This video is so meticulously edited. Condensing all this information into a single video is pretty remarkable. Kudos to you and thank you for making this video!

memorising has always been something i find so insubstantial and while it helps for some things like exams , it's totally not worth it !! thank you, I think our brains work the same way and i love actually resonating and understanding a youtuber !! a miracle you exist <3

i’ve always been a fan of reading the big textbook- the one that has way too much information it’s crazy to see that there really was a connection between reading way too much and my ability to finally remember stuff

It’s crazy how I’ve been learning things this way and knew its effectiveness, but never really sat down to discover the technique. Thank you so much for your video!

From someone who has been following you since your first video, I got say that you still impress me EVERY SINGLE TIME! The amount of research and logic behind the script and the way you organize everything so it's more digestable for us is incredible. If it makes you feel any better I'm really glad that you spent all of those hours making youtube videos instead of studying ;)

Elizabeth, I love your visuals in this! Really creative and original.

For years, I've relied on this technique, but upon entering uni, I began to doubt it, especially when I noticed I was lagging behind my peers. Your videos have been a revelation for me, and I keep pausing it just to determined myself that this techniques is what we need in learning. Thank you for creating such insightful content. Additionally, I must commend your editing—it's truly remarkable.

12:17 Although I have engaged in this process by using textbooks and Wikipedia articles when I have been really interested in a subject or romanticized the content at the beginning of a semester in college and graduate school, it is a most inefficient use of time when the course instructor is asking pretty mundane and rote questions on assessments. There are ways to build focus and memory beyond the use of mnemonics and memory palaces. Also, as you said, mental stability and stress levels play such a big role in learning and retaining information.

Can't wait for 1 Million Subscribers Elizabeth and I've been waiting for this video so long and your videos are really really so so helpful🤗♥️

Thank you for sharing your particular technique for absorbing information in addition to the artwork and transition production of these videos which is exceptionally good.

I love this! You clarified some of the things I’ve had a hunch about. Your video is very timely for me!

Your visuals and speech in the video are so amazing! Helps me recall the video which helps me memorize the content and the impression it gives me when watching it. Thanks!

Lots of good ideas. Amazing how less is more and connections made by oneself is so powerful and useful in learning. I appreciate your sharing the details of your notebook process. Always fun to see how people think and learn in detail.

the editing, the research, everything. wonderful. keep up the work❤

I love the creative editing and the background piano ❤ and the way details you share precisely.......
