One online video that helped me learn something new was a student, a study skill video I watched on YouTube about 2 months ago. I watched it at home on my phone while I was repairing for important exam. The video was about simple techniques to study more effectively such as a bomo doro method, Active Recall and how to avoid detraction is only around 10 minutes long, but the evalentiary was very clear and easy to understand. I decided to watch it because at that time I often feel stressed and didn’t know how to manage my time. I usually study for long hours but didn’t remember much so I wanted to find a better method from the video, I learned that taking shots right can actually help you focus longer and reviewing a lesson several times is more effective than trying to memorize everything you want. I also learned to turn off notification on my phone so I wouldn’t get rejected. Wrong, the video give me practical tips that really improve my studying and I still use those techniques now.

One online video that helped me learn something new was a study skills video I watched on YouTube about two months ago. I watched it at home on my phone while I was preparing for an important exam. The video was about simple techniques to study more effectively, such as the Pomodoro method, Active Recall, and how to avoid distractions. It was only around 10 minutes long, but the explanations were very clear and easy to understand. I decided to watch it because, at that time, I often felt stressed and didn't know how to manage my time. I usually studied for long hours but didn't remember much, so I wanted to find a better method. From the video, I learned that taking short breaks can actually help you focus longer, and reviewing a lesson several times is more effective than trying to memorize everything at once. I also learned to turn off notifications on my phone so I wouldn't get distracted. Overall, the video gave me practical tips that really improved my studying, and I still use those techniques now.
