Hey there! I'm Justin Sung, a learning coach and former medical doctor with over a decade of experience teaching people to learn efficiently.

On my channel, I help professionals and students learn how to learn. I do this by sharing evidence-based learning strategies and self-management methods that I've tried and tested for thousands of students and busy professionals.

I'm also the Co-Founder and Head of Learning at iCanStudy, where we've helped over 30,000 learners around the world to master new knowledge and skills in half the time.

šŸ“£ Calling on busy professionals with too much to learn.

I'm on a mission to create the perfect learning solution for you. But to solve these problems, I need to understand the challenges even more deeply. And I need to hear it directly from the people who feel these pains every day.

So, I'm forming a small, invite-only group of professionals to help me create the perfect learning solution. I want to talk with you, ask you questions, and get your feedback. By joining this group, you’ll get a direct voice in shaping the product and influencing where we take it.

If you’re interested, I'd love to have you. Just fill in the expression of interest at www.icanstudy.com/join-insiders

Hey everyone,

We've heard your feedback about the 3 Hour Deep Work/Study With Me video and have reuploaded the entire video on my other channel. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/74cOUSKXMz0

(For context: it was previously taken down due to some internal issues with the channel algorithm, but now that has all been resolved.)

Thanks for your patience, and happy studying!

Thank you to everyone who joined The Ultimate Learning Skills Workshop!

We went almost an hour over time, and we know many of you couldn’t stay for the full session—or missed it entirely.

So, we’re temporarily hosting the workshop on YouTube for the next 72 hours.

If you’d like permanent access to the workshop recording and the full slide deck, just complete this quick 2-minute survey and opt in at the end: link.icanstudy.com/widget/form/1DvRjl8P6T7XtPgoqNM…

Once done, we’ll email you all the resources!

Wow šŸŽ‰ ONE MILLION subs…

You know, when I first got my 100k silver play button, I thought, ā€œI’ll never get another one since the next one is at 1 mil.ā€ One mil felt completely unrealistic…

So THANK YOU for watching and sharing and commenting and supporting me šŸ™ Whether you’re new or have been with me since the OG days (aka. before I got a perm).

I want to give more value back to YOU, as a thank you. So to celebrate, I’ve planned a 1 mil special LIVE workshop, hosted here on YouTube šŸŽ‰

(…BUT I didn’t expect to hit 1 mil for another month, so it’s coming in MARCH - stay tuned!)

When I started YouTube 4 years ago (stuck in my room during COVID), no one was seriously talking about learning science. I just thought there’s some stuff I figured out over the years that I think other people would find useful…

To think my videos have been viewed over 50 million times now… That’s double the number of sheep in NZ 😯 (and we have a LOT of sheep).

Thank you all again, and thank you to my team behind the scenes who made my ā€œunrealisticā€ goal of 1 mil a reality.

And for those of you who actually read this entire post, I’d love to know what your favourite video is and what made you click subscribe!

P.S. I only had to drive 15 minutes from my house to find these sheep šŸ‘

Currently, I'm experimenting with a variety of YouTube formats, and one of them is a long-form Q&A video where I spend 30+ minutes answering the most common questions you have.

So if you have a question you'd like me to personally answer, leave it as a comment on this YouTube post.

Please keep your question to 1-2 sentences and focused on one topic.

Note:
- You can ask more than one question (just leave each question as a separate comment).
- The questions can be on anything study or learning related. (e.g. study techniques, learning skills, procrastination, productivity, time management, memory, note-taking, mind maps, focus, and motivation)

Looking forward to your questions!

Early last year I was given the opportunity to publish a solo authored chapter by Springer Nature, one of the world's most prestigious academic publication houses (if you've ever picked up a textbook, there's a good chance it was Springer).

Even though you guys probably get sick of me talking about higher-order learning all the time, outside of my channel, it's still a rarely talked about topic. So having the chance to talk about my area of expertise for such a high-level publication was a chance I couldn't pass by.

And on New Years Eve, the published book with my chapter was delivered to my door step!

2024 was a year of a lot of learning and I'm excited to put it into action in 2025.

There are so many ideas for making more content that is even more valuable and specific based on the feedback I've gotten so far, as well as a tonne of updates and enhancements underway for iCanStudy (for those of you who are on there).

Wishing you all a fulfilling 2025. And for those of you who struggled through 2024, it will get better. You're doing great, moving at the speed you need to be moving. Trust the process and put your head down!

Hey everyone, I'm glad to see the community enjoy the last video. The team and I are working hard to bring you new formats to help you with your study journey. Currently, I'm working on a new video format where I answer common study Q&As that students have, and I'd love your help in picking the best title so the video helps as many people as possible

Thank you, and all the best

Thank you everyone so much for 600k!
Myself and the team have been working hard at trying to make more valuable content (you might have noticed the last few videos have been a little different). I hope you all have liked it and I'm looking forward to how you all find the next couple videos we're editing right now.
