ABOUT ME
My name is Gohar Khan, and I'm an MIT grad helping you succeed at school. I make videos about study strategies, college applications, and occasionally, my day-to-day life. I want to equip students with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to realize their academic potential.

Feel free to reach me via Instagram DMs or by email at support@nextadmit.com. Unfortunately, I may not get to respond to everyone, but I'll do my best!
Gohar Khan is probably that one kid at school that could play video games during the whole class and still gets the highest grades.

That’s me. I am way too lazy for the grades I get.
That’s what I do
Fr reminds me of that scene in spider man homecoming when he’s watching TH-cam in chem and still gets the question right 😅
@@anothernamelesspreson5777yabang naman lol😂

Ngl avoiding homework rn
Same😭
Same, deadline’s actually less than 3 hours and it’s like a semester of work. Probably should hurry with that.
Literally the same
have an assignment due TONIGHT
Same
had a feeling that y'all needed this...
jokes aside, hope this video is helpful! lmk what other topics you'd like me to cover :)
Maybe a video about your own personal experiences clumped in a video to give lessons from real world events
Omg fr I got this notification while avoiding homework thank you so much! I'm on your wait-list for the high school roadmap (and super excited about it), but I can't pay for it. Will there be a free version available? Thank you!
we really did ;-;
trust me, i really did lol
Timestamp Section
0:58 - You're Inflating Reality
1:56 - Gain some Sense of Control
2:32 - Create an After-School Routine
3:02 - Minimum Viable Step
3:43 - Fixed before Flexible
5:15 - Evenly Distribute Everything
5:48 - The Countdown Method
Summary Section
Point 1: You're Inflating Reality
Look at your assignments and think of how long the assignment will take. Doing this will help you lower your expectations of how hard the assignment will take.
Point 2: Gain some Sense of Control
As soon as you get an assignment answer the first question. This will help you not dread about the idea about the hardwork you will face, all you need to do is to keep the momentum.
Point 3: Create an After-School Routine
Start your work as soon as you get home, you can take a break but use a timer. This will give a defined a cut-off point for when you stop relaxing and start working.
Point 4: Minimum Viable Step
Do the easiest & simplest thing to get started. Don't think off all the other things you have to do or all of the other steps of the process. Do whatever you have to do even the tiniest task
Point 5: Fixed before Flexible
Some tasks are fixed meaning they'll usually take some Concrete Defined Amount on Time. Flexible tasks can vary, they have indefinite time to be accomplished. Do your fixed tasks then the flexible tasks, starting flexible tasks first can take up all the time. Starting with fixed tasks can leave room for you to do the Flexible tasks.
Point 6: Evenly Distribute Everything
Pretty self explanatory, it could make your life alot easier and prevent you from doing all your work at the last minute.
Point 7: The Countdown Method
Use a timer. As soon as the countdown is over you should find the impulse to jump up and start your work. It won't work everytime but it can come in handy.
I appreciate this
thanks bro
good effort
Needs a pin 🙏
You saved me

Hey :)
I just wanted to say to whoever’s reading this…
I know school can get really tough and stressful sometimes, but you can do it! I believe in you
thought you were right 3 weeks ago, but I've dropped out now
:)
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Why do you do this, your just wasting your time(maybe your a bot)
You didn’t waste your time
❤
When you’re watching when you should be doing homework.

My after school routine which could help some of you guys:
- empty backpack and take out lunchbox
-snack (I usually cut up some fruit and have a small piece of chocolate)
- 15 mins wind down (colouring, reading, anything u enjoy really)
- homework (all of these steps make it so much easier to start working)
- 15 mins chores (putting laundry away, clean ur room)
-free time/screen time (phone, tv)
The second he started talking about that 30 min break turning into an hour long break, I was like, he literally defined my existence.
These videos are always so helpful thanks a lot Gohar!
I'm glad!! Thank you for the support :)
@@goharsguide :D
@@goharsguide 💎💎
Holy crap right timing. Avoiding homework is exactly what I was doing and all of the sudden this video popped up. Next thing I knew it I was finishing up a really late assignment. Thank you.
The way you explain the fixable before the flexible explain SO MUCH. I'm actually the type of person to immediately start and get everything done it one go. This barely leave anytime for my personal activities. And on those extra days when I finish early, I have a complete burnout crash. 😅 I'm going to try doing this, I sure hope this won't end up in disaster where things are left unfinished..
Your videos are the thing I always watch before doing my homework because it helps me get motivated thanks for the help!
Same 😅
you got this! 💪
@@goharsguide Thanks so much for the motivation! :)
@@Seraj2336 You got this man. Keep working hard in school, and you'll be able to become a pilot someday.

Me as a High School student, I honestly do need help with getting my assignments done, I'm also in some AP classes, so I can't procrastinate, thanks for making these vids Gohar!
Hahahahahaha same. Fuck. I regret taking ap classes
@@hopesanddreams2998 no fr tho. sometimes i wanna get out but i also wanna try to take the tests for college credit. it's so fucking stressful
By the way Gohar, I motivated myself to getting up in the morning is when my body feels warn enough
No wonder I never feel motivated in the morning I sleep with a fan on LOL
i love how organized you are, you really inspire me.
I was just done with my math assignment that was overdue like last week and then I saw this video in my recommendations... Thank you so much Khan! I'm definetly gonna use this in the future!! ❤
It's 11:23 and I have 3 assignments due by 11:59. Thanks for the tips!
Damn u literally had 39 mins , bro what did u do?
If you have a bit more time and planning, I’ve found body doubling to be really effective at giving me motivation
wat
OMG YESS! I DIDN'T REALIZE IT HAD A NAME! Literally the only way that has worked for me to get homework done consistently is if like a teacher or authority figure is in the room lol. Thank you for giving me a name for this so I can look into this further! :D
@domino machines I take it body doubling is when another person spectates or helps you when you do tasks. This could be like inviting a friend over to just be there or hopping on a discord call while you help each other do work. This can work very well for some people.
thank you mate! i have 2 projects, 2 presentations, an essay, and a few exams this week. this really helped me :)
Wish you luck✌️✌️
I'm glad!! also, that's SO much to do in a week. best of luck 🙏
This makes me feel like i finally can get things together, thank you
One recommendation for those who will take breaks, if you find yourself unusually productive as your break gets closer, try to push through and continue working as to capitalize fully on the productivity and focus instead of losing it by forcing a break. I've learned this from doing a few too many assignments last minute.
Your advice is extremely useful to me as a postgraduate student- with so much to do daily,my brain would just switched off and grab the switch near me. Now I understand a bit on why it happens and try to sit in front of the books or just write the title of essay to start working.
Looking forward to your vids
Thank you so much, I noted down all of these strategies. Also, I have ADHD/depression and I am often very easily burnt out, so I really appreciate the fact that you kept on acknowledging that people have different ability/strength levels and that even these strategies aren't feasible all the time. It really helped diminish the pressure I felt when thinking about executing them. Keep it up :)
Actually, the fixed before flexible rule has been applied to my daily routine. I didn't know there's a theory about that until I watched your video. Thanks so much Gohar! Your tips & tricks contents are always useful and applicable!
I was just thinking of Homework just now, then saw this. Thanks man.
Thanks! this actually really helped me, especially the 'Getting Control' part.
These videos help me feel capable of tackling my goals. Thank you Gohar!
Thank you bro, Ill definitley try some of these tactics
this is REALLY good advice, its actually helpful, it is SO HELPFUL, THANK YOU!!
I've watched lots of productivity videos but this one is short AND super useful. It was seriously very helpful, thank you a lot!
Needed this more than I thought. Thanks Gohar
another tip is to set goals. when I study it can feel like an infinite and dreadful task, but setting goals helps you feel like its actually doable. make sure that your giving 100% effort towards those goals.
Thank you man my semester is ending and my grade are doing pretty bad this video has given me motivation
I love the your set up and background. It’s very profound and neat. My adhd brain is happy
This was insanly helpfull. I really get stressed with all the assignments and getting everything done but this really motivated me.
When you said take breaks i got somehow really got motivated.
Taking 3 hour break after doing work for 10 minutes is the best.
well, this is an extremely well written video, but a flaw I see with one of the things that he says it to do the first question to gain control of the situation. Obviously this will make you feel much better about doing these assignments and lower the pressure, but one can get too relaxed. Once you feel that it is much easier than you thought, you will keep on procrastinating until the last minute thinking that it will be super easy and you can do it in a quick manner. Other than that, amazing tips and thank you for making videos like these
This was SUPER helpful!! Great points!
Thanks gohar for this video
My way of dealing with procrastination was short term planning based on what I had to do for the week. Especially for college where your schedule is what you make of it, and classes become formulaic, I would consider what I had for each particular week and spread it out depending on due dates, time constraints, and difficultly of the assignment. I don't have a physical todo list or planner, I use my head to plan things out instead. This probably only works so well with me because I like things concrete and down and can be a little inflexible at times, but it all comes down to self control and discipline in the end.
This is so helpful my social studies assignments are crazy and I need help for this but thanks for the tips
so will you move teams or nah?
Thank you youtube for recommending this to me during my summer vacation!
Nice advice, I will try to follow this method!
This video is helpful to me. Thank you sooooooooooo much Gohar.
not avoiding homework. Just love watching Gohar.
thank you for blessing us with this video!!
Excellent tips and jumped straight into them, no time wasted. Thank you for these tips, you give me hope. ❤️
before when I was in 9th grade I used to procrastinate, but not too much. Now that I am a sophomore and taking more advanced classes I try not to procrastinate.
yeah that is me right now 😂
im basically in grade 11 but ever since 9th shit have become much harder. in grade 9 math we used to have like 30 math activities that go from easy to hard and youd practice, here in high school, there's like 5 but each of them take at least half an hour. it's so bad
I was literally thinking to myself (ugh I need motivation to do my homework) and than I see this video. Lol thank you for this :)
same
This was a great video with new ideas I hadn't heard. The gaining control was a really good one to keep the momentum kick started. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the ideas and the motivation you give
High school starts tomorrow!!!
Thank u so much I’m only in 6th grade but it’s getting pretty hard and I know this is going to help me now and in the future
Grades in middle school don't matter I wish I knew that I wasted so much time to get useless A's
Enjoy it bruh
@@theduck9591 Fax and I use to think it mattered for high school but math is entirely different then middle school which teaches you useless concepts
Good video. Very straightfoward and to the point.
needed this reminder thanks
Gohar you literally predicted my exact situation currently it’s even 10:00 like damn bro did that so easily
Me reading this comment: Haha get recket couldn't be me- *looks at clock *
Me: 0-0
bruh exactly
I’m avoiding homework by watching this video.
Same friend
a win is a win
Bro is literaly a clone of me
Great video! Appreciate you and everybody else here, keep up the hard work everyone! 💯👍🏻👊🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
thanks a lot gohar for all the advice. A lot of your tips with both school stuff and college application stuff helped me recently get into boston college. you the best ❤😄
Here's another tip: do your work in order, from what you want to do
least to most. Hope this helps!🎉
What if you have a lot of assignments that have a specific order in which they need to be completed?
@@adammarch9604 Then do it how you should. This is just a suggestion, so it doesn’t always have to be directly followed. Good luck with your homework bud!
Me half ass avoiding it and keeping on my watch list lol
Thank you for this! You made started my Homework WAAAY more easier 😁
This may actually help, some of it doesn't apply to me but some of it might actually help
I use a modified countdown method for just initially getting out of bed, I look at my watch and say "before this minute is over I need to be out of bed"
I was literally scrolling through TH-cam trying to avoid my homework. Thanks for reminding me to stop being a procrastinator lol
your videos motivates me soo much man thanks
I'm only in early middle school but I love this to help me! Keep up the good work!
First. BUT ALSO THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL HELP YOU GIVE!!!! WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU!
Thanks for the like gohar!
@@GurshanSingh1010
I agree with you! You are so wise 🐵
POV your watching this while you’re actually avoiding doing hw
Thank you so much for this, it have me loads of motivation to start working and quit slacking off till the last minute!
Thanks for the tip I hope it helps this is what a normal day looks
Bro this video popped up as I was avoiding my homework
im not avoiding homework , i just dont get motivation to study for exams and i have to force myself by emptying my phones battery on purpose and such , any help?
Genuinely, thank you dude.
Gohar, you should definitely upload more content. It helps a lot!
He really just called me out like that
Not me watching this while putting off my homework 💀
Thank you, I'm a college student listening to this. Very much needed
This was so helpful!! I've now got energy to start my work!
It was literally 10 pm exactly when he said this 0:18
I clicked on this while avoiding studying
same 😢
thanks man, this helped!
This is an absolute life saver! Thank you! :D
we go to school for 7-9 hours, we shouldn't have to do more school afterwards
even more would just squander the meaning of "Make the most of your time"
exactly. so here in greece, in high school you need to take an additional of like 12 hours (per week total) of extra classes in order to pass the college exams. things are very hard, one math activity takes at least 40 mins compared to middle's school 10 mins. and its not only math, all the subjects are hard. i personally spend 6 hours studying for no reason
Procrastination is the best motivation 😎
What? Procrastination is nearly the opposite of being motivated
@@irwinrudolf perhaps
Thank you for making these videos they really help me 😊
*Me watching after I just finished 12 days worth of online homework, quizzes, and tests in 9 hours* 🤡

Thanks gohar I needed this so much right now
Bro I’m doing homework right now 💀 But seriously thank you for making these helpful vids!
SAME BRO
Same lol
Why you on yt tho
@@cool-ep5cu I was procrastinating 💀
this is literally also me right now
My advice (sorry this came out a little longer than originally anticipated lol...not me procrastinating my homework writing this...)
Do your work the moment you get home, with barely a break just to say high to a pet or get situated.
Make it so that it's a habit, like brushing your teeth (although I know some of you all don't do that lol) so you don't have a choice, whether you want to or not. Most days I come home with absolutely no motivation to do work, I want to do anything else so badly. But I don't allow myself any choice, not a signal break, because you must remind yourself,"Am I really going to want to do this at 10 PM? Do I really want to have my break stressing about work in my subconscious?"
After about 10 minutes, I can assure you you will feel productive and happy, no matter how unmotivated you were in the beginning. Let me emphasize, under no circumstance, unless you're physically dying, do you allow yourself a choice. Do this 3 days in a row and it'll become easy, you'll know your limits.
Sometimes I have major writers block, or my mind is fogging, in which case I know I am not being consistent. Somestimes, despite this quote, when you have a great deal of trouble with this (typically around the time you first begin), try to imagine the process in steps of how to complete your assignment, as little as they might be. For instance,"I need to google a topic about this paper for a citation" and once I find the citation "Next, I need to find the author to put it in APA citation." This 'step' method shouldn't be necessary the whole time you're studying, but only when you really have trouble focusing.
Next, listen to dramatic music. Make sure it's instrumental so the words don't distract you. Personally, I listen to the most dramatic and exciting violin pieces, like Winter by Vilvaldi. There's playlists for a deadline by a channel called 'nobody', I highly recommend this.
Now occasionally I'll come home from school not only with extreme unmotivation, but also the absolute worst day where I've just realized that something awful is going to occur. Sometimes you can't study because you're physically in tears and extremely stressed out for something, beyond natural limits. Under these scenarios, remember you still must study, but first lay down on a floor, and with positive self talk, figure out 1. Is this really a big deal? Is it going to impact me in 5 years, am I overexaggerating? If you are, it's okay, the next step is 2. What are you going to do about it. Make a plan for tomorrow or another day. Reasurre yourself, but immediately after you feel calm, go back into studying.
If you do this only a few days in a row, it will become a habit. You'll remember things like,"Well I was absolutely unmotivated yesterday and I could still study. I'm unmotivated today, but if I could do it yesterday, I could do it today." I promise you you can do it, even if you have the least motivation in the world, I've felt that way and I was still able to do it without mentally dying. The hardest part is starting, but once you do, you'll be fine :)
After a couple of hours, I lose my motivation again. I know people who can focus for 4 hours ,but chances are, if you're reading this and the average person, you can't. Now don't worry, you don't have to necessarily work for 4 hours. Howveer ,when I know I'm coming to the end, I try to increase my productivity to it's greatest extent. I like to set a SMALL goal for myself, like "Okay let me just finish one more annotation" or 'two more quotes.' I'll write this goal down, and to further make it more motivating, write down the treat (an icecream, movie, etc.) I'll get afterward if I complete this, plus some encouraging words. Do not make this goal too much, otherwise you wont do it. But it's helpful to jut push a little bit further and get as much done as you can. I'd say this is the easiest part because by then you know you've competed a lot and viewing the finishline is extremely motivating.
I know you all can do it!
This helped me so much honestly- Thank you! And for me honestly, The most rewarding part is having that free day knowing there's nothing on your shoulders, and finally looking at all the work you've done in the end, so Thank you! Wishing you the best for the future :)
@@cIear_x Thank you very much, I wish you the best as well! :). And I agree, knowing you can do whatever you want now because you've been productive, as opposed to procrastinating and doing whatever you want is a major motivation to doing this. I know if I procrastinate I will be subconsciously stressed out.
My comment exceeded the word limit (lol) but I have one more tip I've found is pretty critical as well:
If you find that you're getting frustrated because it's been a while and you're getting no work done, please remember this quote,"It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you're consistent." Never worry if you're going to slow, just stay consistent in working (with certain exceptions, such as tests/deadlines).
Sometimes I have major writer's block, or my mind is fogging, in which case I know I am not being consistent, and, despite this quote, when you have a great deal of trouble with this (typically around the time you first begin), try to imagine the process in steps of how to complete your assignment, as little as they might be. For instance,"I need to google a topic about this paper for a citation" and once I find the citation "Next, I need to find the author to put it in APA citation." This 'step' method shouldn't be necessary the whole time you're studying, but only when you really have trouble focusing.
Led me to think
Thank you so much bro this is helpful ♥️
This was so helpful ty
Me trying to find an excuse to procrastinate :
“I’ll just watch a video about procrastination”
Holy irony
