Hi there, nice to meet you!

I’m Al Khan, and if you’re a serious learner who believes that systems (rather than mere hacks) are the way to go, you’ve come to the right place.

Later, I’m going to show you how you can get access to my best free content (that’s not available anywhere else) that will help you:

Know exactly what to do during your study time, know exactly where to start, and eliminate overwhelm (i.e. Zeigarnik Effect)
Understand even new materials at a deeper level
Never have to go back to the stuff you’ve already studied
Have a game plan for getting the highest scores on your exams — even if you think you have poor memory
Enjoy more well-deserved free time for gaming, hanging out, working out, or basically doing the things you love

But first…what’s this site all about?

We’re sick and tired of “THIS study hack and tool will make you LEARN 10X FASTER”

Tell me if this is familiar…

You got tired of studying too hard, spending all of your time indoors studying (or trying to), sacrificing your hobbies and social life
You figured out that there are effective learning hacks online that should help you study more effectively with less effort
After watching hack after hack, tool after tool, and these Ivy League YouTubers with their color-coded idea graveyards…you wonder how to actually do that
In short: You know that “THIS” is an effective study/productivity hack, but you’re left with NO GAMEPLAN

Well, if I just described your life, then know that you’re not alone, my friend.

I’ve been there and I know how it freaking feels to be drinking from a firehose of information.

What makes things worse is that most study influencers only give you a bunch of tools and “BEST hacks” — while showing you their notebooks that look like art projects — and then leave you hanging with absolutely no guidance whatsoever.

The problem is that, with this “hack mentality”, they’re just solving the symptoms of your study problems (i.e. procrastination, poor retention)…

…but they solve absolutely NOTHING of your real problems. (i.e. lack of perceived ability, task ambiguity, Zeigarnik Effect, poor elaborative encoding strategy, etc.)

Which requires a coherent system, not a random combination of hacks.

That’s no different to throwing s—spaghetti on the wall and seeing what sticks. (You thought I was gonna say “shit” didn’t ya)

We believe in the power of systems, not individual hacks

As you’ll discover…

Strong retention, deeper understanding, and unbreakable study habits are merely the byproducts of a coherent process.

Specifically, a process built on how memory acquires, encodes, and maintains information.

They’re NOT a result of “being such a great person who can do all of that stuff on YouTube.”

And certainly NOT being “born smart” or rich or whatever.

No, no, no, no.

A coherent process is what helped me go from a failing student who:

Can’t even start studying and HATES studying more than anything else
Takes notes on the entire page without learning anything (really)
Goes out of the lecture room remembering literally nothing — as though the lecture didn’t even happen
Blanks out during exams especially when asked a question from another angle
FAILED 4 subjects, and is barely passing the others
Spent a little more than 6 years in Engineering, when it’s supposed to be only 5 years

…to someone who has learned to LOVE studying again:

Got passing grades before the finals even started
Ranked at the top 1 in the mock board exams for my degree
Ranked at the top 6 in the national board exams (with a 50%+ passing rate)
Is now pursuing a Master’s Degree in one of the top Engineering Universities in the country

It’s POSSIBLE to get out of the vicious cycle of procrastination, getting behind, forgetting, and overwhelm.

You CAN cut your study time by an order of magnitude. You CAN predictably remember what you learn.

And I’ve helped people around the world do so — especially hundreds of students who joined the study system course I made back in 2020.

BUT just to be clear, the path is not through the usual type of “advice” you commonly see on YouTube — I teach evergreen principles and systems that will help you make progress day in, day out.

As James Clear says in Atomic Habits…

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

So if you want to take the leap with me, I invite you to join us.

A word of warning: My content is NOT for everybody.

Specifically, if you’re just looking for the next shiny hack or tool that will solve your study problems without effort, then my content NOT for you.

Otherwise…
