The "focused mode" and the "diffused mode" do not necessarily correlate to a "right side", or a "left side" of the brain, because the brain doesn't actually work in different sides in that way.

This is written from my perspective on learning things based on my experiences with drawing and painting, but for research purposes I studied the work of Barbara Oakley to see where I was wrong, or where things could be explained in a better way.
The parts that are more neurological are inspired by her work.

    Since sleep is important to learn, I will take that as my first step. Goodnight y'all

    I’ m a teacher and ı think people tend to procrastinate the things they wanna make or learn because of they think if they dont spend their max effort and time there will be nothing meaningful. For exp if a student wanna learn a lesson thinks like I need to study this subject/lesson for hours, but studying for hours is boring or I dont need enough time for it today, lets try it the other day. And the other day will be just the same. U need to understand that if u dont do anything about something u ll get nothing. If u do whatever u wanna do for maybe a minute, maybe 10, maybe 1 hour doesnt matter it will progress. So u wanna learn chem u can start with 10 min. study every day or every weekend as u wish, finally after a few months u definitely have knowledge about chem. We always think like if i make many hours effort suddenly we will be perfect on it. But reality is if u spent efforts, even tiny efforts like baby steps u will learn how to walk <3

    My procrastination is so bad, I can't even finish this video even though this is absolutely something I needed. I really appreciate motivational posts like this.

    I put "procastinate" down on my to-do list, so when I try to procastinate, I procastinate by not procastinating and do my work instead.

    I’ve always wanted to learn a second language. I finally dived head long into learning French at the age of 31. Happy to say after five months I’m hitting an intermediate level and still learning new words and phrases everyday.
  • the taking breaks thing is VERY important. When learning anything, even a sport or something mostly physical, the thing that gets worked up the most is your brain. Oh, you wanna learn bass? Well guess what, your fingers are not going to be your main problem, your brain is. Take breaks, sleep, and when you feel like you can't play right or learn anything for the day, leave it at that. You've reached your limit, and you literally can NOT go over it

    One of my weaknesses that I want to overcome is sharing my thoughts out like this one. This video just helped me take initiative and engage in the comments section! I get very anxious and I fear how people would reply to me and this video just inspired me to make this year of mine to be full of knowledge and new learnings. Thank you so much!
  • Man I love this video because I relate with so many things I’ve overcome on my own which I’m so proud of myself for but I also acknowledge that there are still much more to be learned and to get through which fortunately for me am excited for

    "The key to learning is sleep" Me: ah yes "Staying inside all day can lead to severe depression" Me: ah yes
  • @aliin8763
    Watching videos about something you'd like to learn (tutorials, informational stuff, literally anything at all related to that topic) is something that always motivated me to start learning that thing! I always get impressed when i see people making videos about it and how casually they approach that thing that seems far away from me as "proffesionals"
  • This is an incredibly insightful and overall well researched and presented. I want to thank you for putting in as much effort as you have to provide a great understanding of the learning process as well as inspire others
