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“£ I want your opinion!

If you're a current working professional, I want to know how you think about the role of "learning" in your life (especially with AI).

---> Do you think the role of expertise is dying? Is it more important than ever? Do you even care about "learning" at all?

This survey is anonymous and I'm looking for your honest opinion. These insights will help me create more focused and relevant content by helping me understand your perspectives and problems more deeply.

We did it everyone! šŸŽ‰ It's been just under 1 year since we hit 1 mil.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me ā¤ļø Whether you're new and just subscribed or have been with me since the old days, the last few years have been life-changing.

When I first started doing learning coaching 14 years ago, no one even knew what that meant. And I can tell you I never thought I'd be doing this for a living one day.

-----
In 2026, what I'm focused on is:

- Delivering even better content. I'm constantly learning about how to make better content, that's engaging in the right way, and communicating the right message at the right level to the right people.

- Helping more people realise that learning is a skill. There are a lot of people who don't realise that many of their problems stem from being inefficient at learning. I want to make "thinking about learning" more popular.

- Short-form. If you're following me on IG (@drjustinsung) you'll see I've been posting unique content that I don't post on YT. There are a lot of people who are only on Instagram and never see my YouTube content. I've been neglecting this audience until now.

- Building a new product for professionals. This has been a long time coming. I've spent the last 7 months focused on deeply understanding the needs of busy professional learners to help them learn faster and be more productive while balancing work and life. We'll be launching this in 2026.

Do you use AI for learning? Whether you āœ… DO or āŒ DON'T, I want your opinion!

I'm running a short (4-min) anonymous survey to look at the behaviours and beliefs of real students and professionals around using AI for learning.

The results will not only help with future videos around AI, but also give me deeper insights into how you (the audience I want to serve) think about AI in learning.

I'd love your input in the survey here:

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!

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!
