Which brings up a lot of good questions, like:

しかし、大抵の場合それを成すだけの意欲が足りない

So therefore: Chapter 1

その不満はたくさんの疑問につながっていく、例えば

It's important to address

”どうして将来的に得があると解っていても やる気が続かないんだろう”

Procrastination first because odds are you are going to learn something new right now

”どうして長期的に計画を立てても 結局なにもやらずに終わってしまうんだろう”

But you don't actually like the idea of learning something new and there's an actual reason for that.

”いったいどうやったら音楽や執筆や絵画みたいな 壮大なトピックに手を伸ばせるんだ”

When you learn something new it actually adds a bit of stress to your mind.

ということで：チャプター①

It's the same area in your brain that activates pain and that goes off.

「怠慢」

So because of this the idea of taking some time to learn something can give you anxiety

あるいは、どうしてやる気がいつだってゼロなのか

Because why would you want to do the equivalent of hurting yourself? So the best solution to all of this is...

例えば、”わかってるわかってる！自分が新しいことに挑戦したいことはわかってるよ

Just start doing it. And that almost sounds too simple, but it's really important that you learn how to take initiative.

でも僕もあんたも解ってる通りこの動画見たって多分結局なにもしないよ

It's important because you can fear doing something all day or for several days because you keep thinking "Well

まぁでも、いいよ、動画見てやるよ念のために”

I just need to find the right mood for it and

怠慢を最初のトピックに持ってきたのは大事なことで

then I'll actually do it." but really you just

なぜなら君はいま何か新しい事に挑戦しようとしているのに、本当はやりたくないと心の奥深くで思っている

need to start doing it because no one else can do that for you.

そしてそれにはちゃんとした理由があるからなんだ

And once you have started doing it all that pain and discomfort

君が何か新しい事に挑戦するたび、君の脳内では微量のストレスが毎回発生している

actually goes away. You move past it and it's over. You're now in the

このストレスが掛かるエリアは痛みを感じた時に信号を出すエリアと同じ場所なんだ

learning zone and it's a lot easier to get back into it

だから時間をかけて何かを学ぶということはそれだけで不安や不快感を得ているということになる

the more frequently you get over this threshold. But then there's another problem. Once you've started doing something you're going to run into some problems

誰が自らすすんで自傷と同等のことをしたがるんだ？

And you're suddenly going to switch your attention to something else. Something frustrating or negative happens and it breaks your momentum.

これに関しての最善の解決策は......

So because you're not reaching the reward you had anticipated your brain goes for something short-term

とにかく手に付けること

But instead you just have to do it again

単純すぎるように聞こえるだろう

You have to find your initiative again, and you have to remember that while it's easy to get short-term

だけどイニシアチブ(主導力)のとり方を学ぶことこそが本当に重要なことなんだ

satisfaction from Instagram, Twitter and video games, it's all the stuff that's fun in the short-term

でなければ丸一日か、数日の間新しい事に恐れながら、きっとこんな事を考え始める：

But what you're actually doing in terms of studying and work is going to lead to long-term satisfaction

”きっと手を付けるには自分がしたい！って本当に思えるムードの時にしないと出来ないんだよ

So yeah

その時になったらきっと出来るさ”

That was easy

でもホントに、とにかくやるって事が必要なんだ

If you want to get down to one learning actually is, it is a cell in your nervous system called a neuron and

他の誰かが君の代わりにできる事じゃないんだから

information flows from one neuron to another neuron through a synapse and your brain has a billion of these synapses

そして、手を付け始めた瞬間、

So don't worry about it. You're not suddenly going to go. "Oh, I have zero point one gigabytes left in my brain

それまで抱えていたストレスや痛みは消え始める

I- I guess I'm never learning anything again. Bye everybody." Whenever you are learning something new your brain creates more synapses

君はひとつの山を通過し、学びのゾーンに入る

So there really is no limit to how much you can learn. But that said it is still important that you take rest

そしてこの山は通過する度にどんどん小さく感じるようになっていく

You can't cram every single thing into your head immediately, because you need to take some time to memorize and process these things

だけどそこで新たな問題に直面する

so you actually remember it. Learning is repetition and

手を付け始めた瞬間からわからない事や、難しい問題と対峙することになる

relearning the things that are kind of fading away in your head is important, because you need to strengthen these

そして君は集中力を別の何かに切り替える

connections in your brain. Your brain is really good at remembering things but it remembers things based on how important they are.

イライラしたり嫌になるたびに休憩をはさむ

So if you have forgotten something,

君が渇望していた新しいことを成し遂げるという長期的な努力の達成感よりも、

it's probably because you didn't really have a need for it. One way to approach this with something like drawing is not

君の脳は短期的な達成感に走る

by tackling everything like anatomy, perspective and color theory at the same time, because that's just too much.

でも、そこからまた何も考えずにもう一度学びのゾーンに入れば良いやってなる代わりに

Instead tackle your biggest flaws right now.

もう一度イニシアチブ(主導力)を見つける必要がある

That is how you establish the need for learning.

そしてTwitterやゲームから得られる短期的な達成感を得るのは簡単なことだけど、

And when you read a book for something like anatomy don't just read from page one to the last.

その達成感を味わえる期間も同じくらい短期的だって事を思い出さないといけない

Use the pages that you actually have a need for right now,

でも君が取り組んでいる勉強や練習は、長期的な報酬に繋がっているはずだろう

and go back to those pages again when you need to relearn it.

まぁ、簡単なことだよな

But the number one priority that comes to remembering anything is actually sleep. Sleep is extremely

チャプター②：「学んだ事の覚え方」

important because it plays a large part in processing your synapses.

なぜって基本のキを何度も何度も繰り返したくないに　決まってるじゃん教えてよ

It creates more synapses and also cleans your synapses from metabolic toxins

たのむよ

so we don't get dirty and muddled, and maybe you kinda remember or maybe that was about something else and now you only half remember.

サンキュ

Another great option for your mental rest is physical exercise and social contact.

もし君が本当になにかを習得したら、脳内のニューロンと呼ばれる自律神経系の細胞が

Exercise and being socially active helps your brain produce new neurons.

習得した情報を抱えて別のニューロンにシナプスと　　呼ばれる線を伝って運ばれる

Staying physically active and talking to people daily will actually help you study and learn better, and in contrast

このシナプスは君の脳内に何十億個も存在してるから　もったいぶらないで使っていいよ

staying shut in all day is a great way to develop severe depression.

突然　”あぁ、僕の脳の容量残り0.1ギガバイトしか　　なくなっちゃった

While you could listen to music, watch TV or YouTube videos while studying and working on something that's not going to be 100%

きっともうこれ以上なにも学ぶことはできないんだろうバイバイみんな”とはならないから大丈夫

efficient. But maybe you want to sacrifice some of that efficiency so you can enjoy some music some fun video stuff while also getting some

君が何かを学習しているときはいつだって脳内で新しいシナプスが造り出されている

work done. And here is basically the way that I would approach it because there are two different modes of thinking:

だから本当の意味でどれだけ君が学習したとしても、　学べる量に限界は無い

The focused mode, also called the logical mode or the left brain mode, which has a lot more to do with

でも、ということは休憩を与えるのが大事になる

concentration and sort of relating new things to what is already familiar. This mode pretty much requires that there are no distractions

脳内に何でもかんでも直ぐに詰め込むことは出来ない

so your memory is not inefficient.

記録させ、シナプスを造り出し伝達させるのには時間が必要で、そうしてようやく記憶させることが完了する

But this might not always be the most fun thing to work with.

学習とは記憶から消えゆく重要な記録を、 繰り返し修学するということだ

So when you are a creative person you tend to prefer

君の脳内のコネクションを強くしていく必要がある

the diffused mode, also known as we creative mode or the right brain mode.

君の脳はそもそも物事を覚えるのがとても得意だ

And with this mode your brain is free to wander. You can put on some music, some videos because you're not really learning anything new

しかし、何をどの程度の強度で覚えるかは対象が どれだけ重要かという脳の判断によって左右される

instead you're

だからもし君が何かを忘れたとすれば、

reinforcing what you have already learned

それはきっと君が元よりそれほど必要としていなかったからと言う他にない

So knowing this and knowing that we are not completely left brained or completely right brained and that these are just modes that we can

記憶に関してもうひとつ、お絵描きを例に挙げて　　　よく失敗してしまう一番やっちゃいけないことは

shift back and forth between,

人体造形やパース、色彩セオリーなどをいっぺんに学習しようと試みることだ

we can utilize the modes to be the most efficient for us.

やりすぎは良くない

If you're going to learn something you even probably don't have distractions.

無闇に色々しようとする代わりに、君が今一番弱点に　感じていること一つから始めてみよう

But in expressing something let your mind wander.

これこそが学習のニーズを確立させる方法だ

But no matter what you are learning or how you are doing it, you have to do it by yourself.

そして例えば人体構造の教本を読んだりするときは、　1ページ目から順番に追っていかないこと

You can't really watch a video of someone

君が一番今必要とする項目のページから消化しよう

painting and pick up all the painting skills without painting along. When you see someone else do something

そして復習する必要性を感じる度そのページに戻ろう

it's not understanding it. Because a large part of learning is

でも何を記憶するにせよ一番重要なことは実は睡眠だ

problem-solving and you have to solve the problem yourself.

シナプスを働かせるために重大な役割を担うからだ

Sometimes it can be so hard to learn something new because it's so different that you have no way of relating to it.

睡眠はシナプスを造り出すだけではなく、シナプス同士を繋ぐ際の副産物である代謝毒素を掃除する役割がある

If something feels so abstract that you can't even relate to it,

だから君の脳内は混乱も無く曇りもなくなり、 少ししか記憶できないなんて事を防げる

then you have to not just learn the name for it or what category it belongs to,

脳を休憩させるための他の効果的な方法はエクササイズと他者との交流だ

but you have to learn about it until it feels real, until it's a part of reality.

エクササイズと交流は脳内で新しいニューロンを 造り出すために必要とされている

When it comes to drawing, I might think of an eye and the eye actually sticks out a lot.

常に運動を意識し、毎日誰かと話すことは学習をより　良いものにし、

but it's kind of hard to imagine that on your own. So I can say eyes

常にふさぎ込むのは鬱病を引き起こすための 素晴らしい原因になる

are like marbles and eyelids are like fabric over them.

チャプター③：「たとえ他の誰かが君を助けてくれたとしても、結局はやっぱり自分で学習していくしかない」

And now we have a way of relating to

音楽を聴きながら、テレビやYouTubeを見ながらする　学習では100％の効果を引き出せない

just how the eye looks as it sticks out. Or when it comes to figure drawing

だけど100％の効果を削って学習を終えるまでの間、　音楽やビデオを見ることで楽しみながら取り組める

I can say draw from the head down to the dominant leg, so that you can feel the

僕が言いたいのは”全く違ったアプローチ方法が2種類　ある”ということだ

gravity and the force and the weight as you draw it. And when it comes to which leg is the dominant leg, then allow me to go over

「集中モード」と呼ばれるロジカルモード、 通称：左脳モード

and kick the model so they fall to the floor and start crying. Which leg did I kick?

多くの集中力を必要とし、既に知っている事と新しい事を繋ぐ事に適している

That's the dominant leg. The important thing to learning

このモードに必要なのは気の散ることがない環境で、”ながら学習”は効率が悪い

the things that feel tougher is to get across the major

でもこれって必ずしも 常に誰にとっても楽しい方法じゃないよね

idea and not get stuck in the details, because as you get to learn these things that are more abstract or harder to learn

だからもし君がクリエイティブな人だったらきっと、 もうひとつのモードで取り組む事が多いと思う

your synapses will start to connect easier with more complicated things. Because now you have something that is actually

「拡散モード」だ クリエイティブモードや右脳モードとも呼ばれる

relatable. It's important to not get too stuck in the details because otherwise all you have is the details.

このモードでは君の脳は自由にさまよえる 何か新しい事を学ぶモードじゃないから

If you want to remember something, you have to test yourself.

音楽やビデオを流しながらすることだってできるんだ 新しい事を学ぶ代わりに、既に学んだ事を増強できる

You have to make it important to you and have a need for it.

脳に左脳モードと右脳モードがあることが解れば、 このモードを好きに切り替えることが出来る

So you can test yourself by trying to do different things from memory to see how much you actually know.

自分が取り組みたい事によってモードを 使い分けて利用するんだ

And then when you see what is wrong

もし君が何か全く新しい事を学ぶときは きっと気の散る環境じゃない方がいいだろうね

You can study it again to correct it. And there's nothing wrong with

発想を柔らかくして自由に表現したいときは 右脳モードにすれば良いわけだ

catching yourself not knowing something or having made a mistake.

でも、どんな事を学習するにしても きちんと君一人の力でやり遂げないといけない

All of this is part of the learning process.

ただ誰かのお絵描き講座動画を

There's always going to be mistakes,

何もせずただ見るだけの行為は 本当の意味で何も学びにつながっていない

because mistakes are a part of how we learn.

学習プロセスの大部分を占めるのは問題解決で

But a problem that can happen with creative people is that they become too trusting a fair right side

自分の問題は自分で解決するしかないんだ

intuition, to the point where you now refuse to learn something new because your intuition is misleading.

チャプター④：「どんどん辛くなる、 でもそれが楽になる唯一の道だ」

Repeating something you already know well is pretty easy,

新しい事を学習するのは時にとても大変なことだ 今まで自分が経験したことと繋がりが見えないからだ

so it can feel like you have already mastered something when you actually have not.

もし学ぶ対象が余りにも抽象的で、 繋がりが全く見えない時は

Something that can happen with something like drawing is that you keep drawing heads from imagination until now

その名称や見た目、どういうカテゴリーに属しているかなどだけ学んで学んだ気になるのではなく、

this is what heads look like to you.

それがリアルに感じられるまで、 現実の一部になるまで学び続けなければならない

So it really is important that you set aside time for deliberate practice and don't only rely on your intuition.

お絵描きをまた例に挙げてみよう

Because your intuition is important but in the right situations.

眼を練習しようとしたとして、 眼って色んな部分が突き出しているのは知ってるよね

And then on the more left brain side of things: As much as we would like to cram all the studying in

けど、色んな角度からの眼を想像だけで描くのは 意外に結構むつかしい

so we can learn everything immediately,

だから例えば、目玉はマーブルチョコ状で まぶたは布生地が覆いかぶさっている、

it just doesn't work. Because your brain won't be able to keep up with making you neural structures

という風に変換すれば、複雑に見えた構造と 自分の既に描ける物への繋がりができる

I think a good way to approach this is by mixing things up.

別例を見てみよう たとえば全身絵を描いていたとして

Don't just study one thing over and over again, but go back and forth between different things.

この身体は頭から軸足へ意識した線で描いている

So that you give yourself the space to repeat and process the things you are learning.

そうすることで重力や比重を絵で表現できるんだ

Set aside time to fully study something and then time to freely explore it.

そこでもしどっちの脚が軸足か解らなかったとしたら

So by spacing things out over periods, we can actually use our practice and our intuition to reliably learn new things.

僕をちょっと失礼させてもらって

The final chapter.

モデルさんの脚を蹴ると床へ倒れて シクシク泣き始める

It's perfectly normal to procrastinate because things feel unpleasant,

僕どっちの脚を蹴った？

especially if they are really new to us. Maybe for a long time you wanted to make music

それが軸足だ

but you haven't made any steps towards making music. You don't know anything about music. You don't know where to start.

学ぶことが辛く感じるときに重要な事は 詳細に捉われず主要な部分を理解する事だ

It's this big overpowering thing and in comparison, even the first steps feel so tiny.

辛い事を学ぶとして、それがより難しく 抽象的になっていってしまったら

But if you were to focus right now, not so much on everything unpleasant up ahead

君の脳内シナプスは他のややこしいもの同士を 繋げようと働きかけてしまうんだ

but what you can learn right now; maybe you could open up a music software and just get acquainted with it.

ややこしいもの同士にも例外なく繋がりが あるのがわかるだろう

What if you bought a smaller instrument just to play around with and have fun with? What if you did something

詳細を気にしすぎないということは重要な事だ

that works with where you are right now in the present moment?

さもないと得れるものは詳細のみだ

Because the thing is when we expect the initial pain of learning something new, we expect everything after that to be just as painful.

チャプター⑤：「まだまだ学ばないといけない」

Maybe you don't have any highly developed talents and skills,

もし何かを覚えたいのなら 自分自身でテストしなければならない

but you have these artists you look up to and more than anything

対象が重要で、必要なものだと 脳に覚えこませないといけない

you want to have those skills. You want to have what they have, but you can't have that right now.

記憶を頼りに今までと違ったことを試し 自分をテストする事でどれだけ学べているかが解る

But you can have the initiative. You can have the talent of

そして何が間違えているかを確認し

making effort, time investment, and getting something done

正解するまで学習する

no matter how small it is. And anything that comes after that can just be a byproduct.

失敗してしまったり、学べていない事を発見するのは まったく悪いことじゃない

Maybe if we trace back to where talent comes from, then maybe this is where it starts. And it only relies on one thing

そのプロセスも含めて全てが 学習に必要なプロセスなんだ

That you take the initiative.

いつだって失敗は起きる

Thank you for listening. And if you would like to support my work

なぜなら失敗は学習の一部だからね

You can like this video, you can subscribe and you can follow me around.

でもそれがクリエイティブな人たちに起きると、 彼らは勘を信じすぎるきらいがある

You can also support me on patreon, or if you don't like patreon

そうなってしまうと直感がミスリードを引き起こして、新しいことを学ぶのを拒否してしまうんだ

I have a ko-fi where you can directly support my caffeine addiction. See you soon again, and bye bye.

既に知っていることを何度もリピートするのは 結構簡単なことだよね
