How To Study Like Light Yagami
Light Yagami is the smartest student in his school and one of the smartest character to ever appear in an anime. People get confused by light yagami s character, thinking that the death note made him smart, however, this
is not the case, Light Yagami was a genius even before the death note was introduced.
The death note was only a catalyst to introduce Light Yagami s dark nature. So,
- How can you study to reach Light Yagami s intelligence level?
- What are the best techniques to use?
- And how can you apply them?
I am going to explain 3 steps to study like Light Yagami
- PREPARATION STAGE
You may believe that the preparation stage is unimportant, but you re wrong. Studies have shown that all sorts of things contribute
to your learning and comprehensive ability. So before we move onto stage 2 and 3, you need to do this first:
- Make sure you ve been getting 8 hours of sleep consistently for at least a week. Sleep deprivation is not a joke, it reduces concentration, and it will slow down your thinking ability. This must be for 8 hours, no exceptions. We sleep for a third of our lives and you re telling me that sleep is not that important?
2. Stay away from devices and social media. Most people say that they study for 4 hours, but what they really did was check their phones every 10 minutes.
Let s be honest, in today s world, we have weak people, who can t even concentrate on a book, a 10 minute youtube video, or even a 30 second video.
Society is trying to make us weak, and they ve already succeeded. Today s men have the testosterone of a 90 year old man, we re seeing simps who pay for a woman s onlyfans because they re too scared to get the real thing, we praise weakness whilst strength is looked down upon, and us men, are getting too comfortable.
Well, you see, Social media is designed to suck your time away, to constantly bombard you with media that ignites different emotions.
The more you stay on the app, the more the companies get paid.
Light Yagami did not indulge himself in social media, he had better things to do, and because his mind wasn t hypnotized by likes and followers, he had a clear mind.
Completely deleting your social media apps will give you so much clarity that you ll feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders. You won t have to worry about likes, comments, who followed who, what this person did over the weekend, nothing.
Once you get rid of social media like Instagram, snapchat, twitter, tiktok, and any other media that is designed like a slot machine, you will not only improve your concentration, clarity, and mental health, but you will also regain the most precious resource in the world, time.
3. Planning is the last step. If you write down on paper what you need to get done, you will be more successful than not writing anything down at all. What you need is a tick list. Plan out when you will study, and what you
will study. You can even dig deeper.
If you are going to study psychology, what area will you focus on? Facial expressions or body movement? If it s body movement, then will you focus
on hand signals or posture? Studying broad topics won t help you, like
Robert Greene said, You gain more by finding a rich mine and mining it deeper, than by flitting from one shallow mine to another intensity defeats extensity every time.
LEARNING STAGE
I won’t tell you what to study, you will have to decide that for yourself. However, I can give you a piece of my wisdom that will help make your process much quicker. It may seem obvious, but sometimes it s hard to do. Be genuinely interested in that topic.
You need to understand that you won t succeed in learning
if you don t like what you re studying, which is why I m not telling you what to study. What you must do to be highly proficient in what you re studying is basically give your soul to it.
Some people will think I m crazy, but every time I succeeded in what I wanted to achieve, whether that s getting good at something, or getting an award, I dedicated all of my time to it. I even sacrificed my eating and gym habits for that thing I wanted.
You almost have to become one with it, it has to become a part of your identity. This is the reason why I told you to get rid of social media. Since social media is highly addictive, you will be juggling 2 things at once, and since social media is more stimulating than what you re studying, you will quickly lose interest and focus.
REVISITING STAGE
This is the stage that will actually keep the information that you learned, in your mind. But before I explain this last crucial technique, make sure to like the video if it helped you out in any way.
I call this the 5–30 technique. Why is it called that? Because you revisit the same topic 5 times within 30 days.
Here s what happens, the first time you learn something, it is said that you only remember 20% of the information, but, if you revisit the same topic 8 hours later, you will remember 40%.
The next day, if you revisit it again, you would have remembered 60% of it. I will drop a graph for you to look at that was shown to me by the Life Skills company. The important information that you can gather from this is that revisiting topics is crucial.
Your mind has to be constantly reminded about what you have learned, you basically have to drill it into your head with force, but in a way that is enjoyable.
