chess academics martial arts and fighting Mental Math manipulation and human psychology and even sports like running whatever skill you name Ayan Koji kotaka is almost always excellent at it but how the answer is really simple the white room long story short Ayano koji's father who's also the series main villain so far is the one who first established the white room his purpose well to create the most perfect Geniuses of course kota's father simply doesn't believe in the whole Talent is god- gifted BS and neither should you my friend so instead he devised the following nine
learning principles guidelines techniques whatever you want to call them to help his son ayanokoji as well as many others become experts at even the most complex subjects and skills easily strategically and undeniably needless to say adopt these nine techniques and sooner or later you too will be running around at full speed mastering many new subjects and becoming an expert at multiple new skills with the speed of Flash the grace of a warrior and the confidence of a god you with me still good now listen tight because this first principle I'm about to share with you
is also the most critical of the whole bunch learning stuff is useful but learning useful stuff is even more useful take yo-yoing and chess for example while both are games chess is on a whole different level why well it not only teaches us strategic and critical thinking but also enhances our creativity memory IQ confidence cognitive development and whatnot even just as a rookie player there's still more benefits for you to gain by playing chess against others every once in a while than by becoming an expert at yo-yoing swinging around a silly ball attached to a
string all day long moral of the story learning some skills and subjects always offer greater rewards and utility over others Ayan Koji knows this which is why every skill in his resume is a weapon the most useful and the most lethal kind there is such as chess martial arts mental arithmetic philosophy dark psychology and manipulation Etc the whole point is to choose carefully the stuff you must learn learn before you actually begin to learn stuff as the king of freeloading and manipulation rodri hefley once said to his younger brother don't be good at something you
don't want to do lastly just to make sure you truly get it here's what haime Lannister from Game of Thrones once said about usefulness fighting bravely for a losing cause is admirable fighting for a winning cause is far more rewarding tell me what comes next once you've identified which direction to walk upon which subject to learn and which skill to master writing down a proper game plan of course you see both the white room and the genius who came out of it ayanokoji kiyotaka himself have always prioritize learning strategically the goal has always been to
learn and cover the most critical amount of syllabus and skills within proper deadlines I know I know strategizing future mapping and critical thinking all these words sound rather intimidating and boring no but in fact it's all quite easy simple and even a little fun actually just fire up a laptop open a Google or Word document and write down whatever title comes to mind for instance if your goal is to become an expert chess player then the title operation Checkmate hits The Sweet Spot no anyways up next break down this goal of learning chess into as
many min steps as you possibly can remember that three meals a day one bite at a time such Simplicity I dare say helps one chew a mountain in due time that said your first step will be to download some well-rated chess apps next read a quick article or two regarding the rules and stuff you know like how to move individual chess pieces correctly as well as how to Checkmate your opponent and win the game finally play either against the computer or online players three times in a row to get an honest hang of things that's
it operation checkmates phase one is history now for phase two which concerns becoming a true expert at chess you can read a relevant book such as logical chess move by move add in a sweet 30-day challenges worth of consistency and voiler by the end of the month you're a top 1% chess player you see that's all there is to strategizing buddy there's nothing scary right and surely writing down a simple checklist on a Word document won't bite you right anyhow here's a sample screenshot of how your operation Checkmate or whatever might end up looking like
in an era of distractions he who fails to minimize them and maximize his gains is destined for madness the lesser the amount of distractions in your study environment the greater the amount of progress you accomplish every single day and the more hope there is of truly mastering whatever skill or subject you're currently obsessed with I won't be diving too deep into the subject but hey guess what I already did a solid video on maximizing your attention span and minimizing your surrounding noise and distractions it'll show up at the end so make sure to check it
out especially if your attention span is like most people nowadays actually less than a freaking goldfish back in the white room while learning chess Ayan aoji knew that to become an actual chess he had to approach the skill from multiple different angles to grasp the perfect picture as a result he didn't just read a book or two on the subject he also played against other fellow White Room students to put things into practice but that's not all Koji would regularly ask his Superior instructors as well as Elite chess players online for advice he'd also enter
chess tournaments for motivation and to test his current level against Geeks from across the globe what's more he surely devoured more than just a single udemy course or two on Advan chess strategies lastly every now and then he'd read the latest tips and tricks on the most popular chess blogs like chest them the week in chess and chess base Etc so remember don't be loyal to just one Learning Resource there are plenty of different colored fish I mean different colored resources out there in the water my friend Shuffle and cheat around a little every now
and then because the more resources you combine and the more creatively you mix them together the greater understanding you'll achieve and the more of an expert you'll become one day dreams without a proper routine are like a vehicle without proper fuel the car isn't going anywhere and neither are your goals and dreams time blocking is therefore an extremely critical skill it allows you to divide your time consciously and effectively for the many different activities throughout the day prioritizing the critical ones over the less important ones hungry for a more fleshy explanation on how time blocking
works and curious to know what special routine ayanokoji follows on a daily basis well I made an outstanding video on that not long ago Link at the very end for that as well my friend if your goal was to hunt 10 lions from Africa 10 polar bears from Europe and 10 snakes from the Amazon rainforest how would you approach this situation would you first hunt a lion in one location then a bear in another and finally a snake and keep repeating the process 10 times over of course not only those with nothing but air between
their ears would take such an approach there's way too much energy in time being lost in the process of traveling and switching from one task to another the smart way to handle this would be to tackle things in bulk hunt 10 lions in Africa first then 10 bears in Europe and finally the snakes in the rainforest there's complex Neuroscience involved here but to keep it concise and simple all I'll say is different parts of our brains are responsible for different kinds of tasks so when you switch between tasks too often it slows you down both
physically and mentally on the flip side if if you focus on just one task aspect or whatever at a time you gain both quicker speed and experience as Bruce Lee once implied you get better results by mastering just one kick at a time than practicing a hundred different ones all at [Music] once the white room drills students like ay aoji day in and day out on a whole bunch of the most useful subjects skills and techniques it's all about practice practice and practice and also failure failure and failure sounds old school and pretty lame I'm
sure but neither of us can escape or deny the truth that to succeed even once you must fail a thousand times before that you see shoes don't gain that lustrous black shine just after you rub them with a brush once or twice nope you've got to keep brushing keep swiping dozens upon dozens of times until you've mastered The Strokes and your shoes are no longer dusty but elegant and ready to be worn outside remember each individual brush stroke may seem like a failure but over time a 100 Strokes will inevitably result in a handshake with
success so just keep practicing and keep failing because that's how you fail your way to success experienced mentors and like-minded groups of friends help you stay grounded and loyal to your goals especially healthy Rivals who trigger your growth through competitiveness and mutual dreams instead of lousy jealousy make sure to surround yourself with a bunch of these people in order to stay accountable to those expertise seeking goals and dreams of yours regarding any particular subject or skill tracking past statistics tells us whether we've been going forwards backwards or nowhere lately finally what's beyond crucial is to
always stay mindful about the statistics of your journey simply put you must be aware of your learning progress not just about today or yesterday but for over a month or even a whole year etc for instance in the given statistics screenshot as you can easily tell I've had a total number of three victories against online players in the past 3 months and though the screenshot doesn't show it I've actually lost at least twice as many times since I'm still pretty much a rookie chess player myself after all but the whole point is by tracking statistics
like these you can easily determine a heck load of things such as how consistent and dedicated you are to your learning goals the improvements you've shown lately as well as weak areas that require further efforts Etc that's it for this video fellas as I promised here are the other ones regarding ing improving your attention span as well as Ayano koi's top secret daily routine feel free to visit whichever of these best suits your current needs but hey before you do kindly don't forget to crush those like subscribe comment and share buttons for support will you
