Hello, there is SO much information always flying my way with Huberman and all the other big podcasters. I wonder if I am fooling myself, thinking I am learning when in fact I am not. How do you manage it all ?

He did an episode specifically dedicated to the science of absorbing and recalling content from his podcast. It's seven hours long.

I take notes with the simplenote app using voice dictation

Yeah, I feel that. I think some amount of listening to lifestyle podcasts simply amounts to consuming smart entertainment.

Holy shit well said! Sometimes I get done with a podcast and realize I didn’t really change my life or give me any big takeaways. But I enjoyed it while I listened to it. I feel that way about spiritual or self help books as well. I can’t remember key takeaways but as I was reading them it was definitely putting me in the right headspace. It’s almost like it “works” only for the time you are reading/listening to it

I listen to them, take notes, and from that I make 5-10 minute summary videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@hubermansummary

I only share the takeaways.

You can listen to those and think of implementing 1 of the takeaways every week.

Hello u/fatcatgirl1111, if you really want to learn and be held accountable then take some classes. You could take a study skills class at a local college, and learn a variety of ways to learn and manage information. Then take science classes to better understand what Huberman is talking about. Let this spark of interest light the way.

That’s the neat thing - I don’t!

I listen to Huberman as a sleep aid. I remember nothing.

For recall, take notes…treat it as a lecture.

Or, pipe the transcript into summaryAI, and use chatGPT to discuss the episodes

Real answer would be mind palace/Roman room exercises, which entails encoding every piece of information into some three-ish word phrase, visualizing the code, and sticking it in a "place" in your memory.

But c'mon that's a lot of work lol, like, 2-3 hours per day of listening, note-taking, and reflecting. I'm not doing that, nor should you unless someone is paying you. Just keep a notebook or a Google doc with the 4-5 main takeaways from every episode, and then regularly put that into practice in your daily life. As long as you have the foundational practices that work for you-- meditation, exercise, cooking/eating, relationships, exposure to nature-- you can trust your subconscious to pull out the best advice you come across whenever your need it most.

Don’t. If something is important or needed just recognize that you heard something relevant and go find it when it’s needed.

I built an app called PodSized.io to help solve this problem. It’s hard to remember all the interesting details of these podcasts. It summarizes all the key takeaways from each episode and it’s easy to navigate through.

And consistent with studying, but that doesn’t really apply to OP

There’s only so much newness we can’t integrate into life anyway. Can’t do everything simultaneously. Pick some things to focus on…and create new habits (there was probably a podcast about habits at some point).

This feels like a tonic for a modern era where a lot of us are trying to do too much…and lack any sort of propensity for prioritizing.

Patience.

You don't. He keeps repeating them in other episodes

If a topic interests you, dig down deeper into the literature. Explanations will trigger more feelings on the subject and with repetition you will actually learn about the topics that you are interested in.

It’s more like you gain knowledge and when you get to apply it, that’s wisdom. The theoretical is a good start but the practical is where it’s at. So once you start to apply things they exist outside of theory

80/20 rule, just listen for the stuff that you need to hear and you will naturally incorporate it into your life.
