Here's One Tip That No One Talks About
Always share what you study. Why?
When I share my notes, the gratitude and support I get motivates me to do it again and do it better. It's a cycle that helps me:
- Learn more,
- Create better notes,
- Reinforce my understanding by teaching others.

Step 1: Start with the Right Video
Pick a video you want to learn from.
On Gistr, we usually create a thread — a combo of video, clips, and notes. It's like:
- Bookmarking the best parts of the video.
- Having your notes right there for easy reference.
It saves me from endless rewatching or hunting for that one concept I forgot from the video.
Step 2: Highlight While Watching
Highlighting is where the magic begins!
While watching, I highlight anything that feels important. These highlights give me:
- A quick overview of the video's main ideas.
- Focused parts to refine later.
By the time the video ends, I already know which parts to focus on, saving me hours of rewatching!
Step 3: Ask Questions About Your Highlights to AI
Here's a trick I learned the hard way: always ask questions.
Before AI, asking questions meant:
- Jumping to different sources.
- Getting distracted.
- Losing time.
Now with Gistr's AI, I pause and ask:
- Why is this important?
If I don't fully grasp a concept, I ask the AI and add the explanation to my notes. This habit solidifies my understanding and ensures my notes are useful in the future.
Step 4: Add Your Thoughts
This is my favorite step!
While AI helps with note-taking, I always add my thoughts:
- Add examples.
- Clarify points.
- Link ideas to what I've learned before.
Writing my thoughts makes the notes truly mine and helps me see the bigger picture.
Step 5: Review and Refine
Once the video is done, I take a few minutes to:
- Remove unnecessary highlights.
- Fill in any gaps.
- Reflect on what I’ve learned to ensure clarity.
By now, I’ve reviewed the content three times, making it stick in my memory.
Bonus I Shared before.
This step isn’t optional for me.
Sharing my notes:
- Helps others.
- Reinforces my learning.
- Builds a supportive learning community.
Plus, it's fun to see others benefit from something I’ve worked on!
Why I Love Gistr
Taking notes from videos can feel overwhelming. Other platforms often have too many options that discourage me.
But Gistr makes it simple:
- I focus on what matters.
- I can revisit key moments without wasting time.
- Sharing my notes is effortless.
I hope I’ve shared something valuable here. Now it's your turn to try Gistr and level up your learning! 🚀
