So much content, so little time. Yeah. **Host:** Exactly! Today's discussion is all about tackling that overwhelm. Right? **Guest:** We're talking about finding a system that actually works. For sure. **Host:** And making English learning fun, not a chore. So, our guest's struggle is relatable. Tons of resources – videos, apps, articles – but a lack of focus, huh? **Guest:** I'd find an interesting video, jot it down in RemNote, then get distracted by the next shiny thing. Never went back to review. It's true. **Host:** The classic case of shiny object syndrome! We've all been there. I know I have. The current system was to save interesting videos, but the review process was lacking, right? **Guest:** Exactly. I'd save the link, but rarely revisit it. It's like collecting stamps, not actually building a collection. You get me. **Host:** So the problem wasn't the resources, but the lack of a structured approach. The solution? Focus on one thing at a time. Simple, but effective. **Guest:** Pick a video or article, study it deeply, create flashcards, and only move on once I've mastered it. Aim for around 80-90% comprehension. That's the key. **Host:** A structured approach, breaking down the overwhelm into manageable chunks. This also involves integrating Speak, Duolingo, and RemNote. **Guest:** Yes, I want to link everything together. New words, sentences from the apps, and the videos – all connected in RemNote. To make it all work together. **Host:** Creating a network of knowledge, making connections between different learning sources. Smart. Building this system requires habit formation and a consistent note-taking strategy. **Guest:** I need a system for marking notes, finding backlinks, and organizing everything effectively in RemNote. It's about creating a searchable knowledge base. Exactly. **Host:** So you're building a personalized English learning ecosystem. The key is balancing focused learning with relaxation. **Guest:** I plan to use the apps and watch videos in the evenings to relax, then dedicate mornings to organizing notes and creating flashcards. Sounds like a good plan. **Host:** A smart strategy, separating focused work from leisure time. You mentioned the importance of dedicated time for note-taking. **Guest:** Yes, it's easy to get sidetracked. I need to schedule specific times for focused note-taking and review. **Host:** Absolutely. Making it a non-negotiable part of the routine. How do you plan to overcome the potential boredom of note-taking? **Guest:** By making the initial learning process engaging. If the apps and videos are interesting, the note-taking becomes a natural extension. **Host:** Makes sense. Making the entire process enjoyable, not just the initial stages. What's the ultimate goal of this system? **Guest:** To create a sustainable and enjoyable English learning habit that leads to fluency. That's the dream. **Host:** Not just learning, but building a lifelong love for the language. The power of connecting different learning sources is key. **Guest:** Absolutely. Seeing the same words or sentences appear in multiple contexts reinforces learning and makes it more memorable. **Host:** It really does. Creating a web of interconnected knowledge. Will you be reviewing and refining this system over time? **Guest:** Definitely. It's an iterative process. I'll adjust the system based on what works and what doesn't. **Host:** Of course. Adapting and improving the system as you go. So, it's about finding a system that works for you, making it enjoyable, and sticking with it. **Guest:** Exactly. It's a marathon, not a sprint. **Host:** That was a great discussion!
