Matthew, you have good info, but I can't watch your videos because the music is so distracting. No music is necessary. Please consider eliminating it. I can't believe you've put music on videos about studying!! And it's uniquely distracting!!
Hi matthew, you really inspired me so i chose to join your community, but the problem is i'm a bit lost. could you please make a tutorial on how to find the free courses you make and how to use the wepsite properly.

my dopamine detox is youtube. i feel fun after i watched video, but then immediately after i start feeling shit, because i realise that i spent 2 hours on nothing, and i have dozens of assigments to do. i have a really good motivation of being able to do programming in my free time if i DONT spent ATLEAST a few hours in youtube, but instead just do the homework. if i concentrate just FOR A BIT, i will already be in a much more better state than im currently am.
I use youtube for like 2/3 hours a day but I mostly use it for this type of videos or some courses. Obviously while I eat too, in that time I just relax watching some shit

@@RyanLivesForGodAlways I appreciate that you're religious, but I don't appreciate you implying that depression is not real, or that it can be cured by 'believing in God hard enough'. Depression is a serious medical condition that needs to be taken seriously. There are treatments that can make the symptoms more bearable, but there is no be-all end-all cure. It is not possible for these people to simply 'choose happiness'. You're not helping them by expressing this sentiment. You're asking them to ignore their feelings and pretend to be okay, instead of asking for help. You could see depression as a God-given challenge, if you need to do that to reconcile its existence. All people face different challenges in life, and the challenge for people with depression is to find a way to make life worth living for themselves and the people around them, despite their condition. The challenge is to take little steps at a time, despite the fact that your depression will never truly go away. And the challenge is also to dare to ask for the help you need, because nobody should face their challenges alone. And they also challenge the people around them to show kindness and understanding.
Not gonna lie, Matthew was really honest in this video so this will give the students more over a reason to become their best not just at studying but rather at everything the put their mind to and as always may God guide us on the right path.

not really, it was sort of predictable", whenever people talk about dopamine detox they usually do bring up p0rn or other things. tho i dont think he shouldve of brought that up as the first dopamine example..

me as a 14 year old i really enjoy the help i am a non active study enjoyer.. i really barely even study and when i do its just a very small amount of time, but matthew i had the same problems as you, i was addicted to what you were and i still am to this day and i am very sorry for what i am and for what i was, but its gonna change, matthew didnt say this for you to STOP having fun with games.. he just tryna say that taking about 30-1 hour of your gaming session just for you to study everyday is healthy. thank you so much matthew for helping me out i really enjoy it and i hope you and everybody looking at this comment has the best life god could have given to you.
More tips : Each person is different, I've split those to categories. Static, Audio and Visual. If you are Static, move. That means your are independent and you like to move, so do what you like. Move, speak, do activities that are associated with studying. If you are Visual, make notes. You like visually appealing notes, so do it. Same goes for Audio, music and sounds. So, be yourself and do what you like
notes from this video (i hope it helps!) ✏📚 you can benefit from this video if - you feel studying is a chore and think its the most annoying thing ever 1. change your mindset replace all the "have"s with "get"s: I "have" to study - I "get" to study I "have" to get into a good college - I "get" to go to a good college 2. make studying more fun reward yourself - after studying reward yourself with something like a candy, netflix, etc, so your brain comes to associate studying with that reward - reward yourself as quickly as possible - even if there is no reward, your brain will want to study 3. enjoy the process - dont use passive study methods like studying from notes - use active recall (like flashcards, past papers, etc things that are actually challenging, and fun) - CHALLENGE YOURSELF (video games are so fun because they have an element of challenge) - make studying a challenge tip: when doing past papers, time yourself so your brain works at max speed and is fully focused on the task 4. dopamine detox - remove instant gratifications - they fuck up your brain - once you do this you will be able to do healthier activities and harder things

When you mentioned p0rn I nearly thought the video would go down the wrong direction- but then I realised what you were trying to say and I felt really relieved. To put it into perspective for myself, you went from being a p0rn addict to being a successful a level student with a blown up TH-cam channel, and most of all you inspire and help others. If this doesn’t show change is possible then I don’t know what will. I thank you for this video
Thank you for this video. You're literally the first youtuber who admitted his bad addictions. I think it would really help a lot of people, who don't understand how p... really badly affects, and don't let you have a discipline.

4:43 I like setting a metronome when I work, because it what helps me to go faster, and it constantly reminds me to stay on task. Some people find it annoying but it’s worth giving a try if timing yourself doesn’t work for you. (I do 100 bpm)
When I was younger I would watch bad things and overtime it became an addiction, how I overcame it was by God, I started pursuing my relationship with Jesus and overtime I lost an interest in worldly things. Now the Bible says (Romans 8:13) For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

Halfway through the video after being unproductive and then getting motivated more and more... that's actually great! This guy doesn't over exaggerate things, straight to the point. I like that! I'm getting up right now and going back to study, I will update y'all on how it's going!

@smasherBG I actually did end up improving myself, now I'm currently enjoying the reward for studying and want to study more...this is actually kind of working! I kept the phone away and yeah, I could focus a lot better. That's amazing, I don't think I've ever enjoyed studying

One of the rarest things from self improvement channels is when they actually admit their faults, the fact that you are willing to do that shows you are a true man of God's will and one of the best self improvement channels on the internet.
i remember about 10 years ago when i was an elementary school student, a girl tell me a joke that made me want to be better than ever: Their ask: "Do you know what's black as ink?" I said idk then their answer is "your future" (maybe this not related to the video but i want to share this as a motivation for those who want to improve)
point 2 works much better if you do something punishing/tiring/ something that does not feel good instead of reward. it will make you crave studying. study 30 mins and then stare at a wall for 5 min then repeat

For number 3, its a good advice since its good to find a studying method you like, ex some person might like writing, flashcard, quizz, brainstorm, or maybe researching
I like to use Gimkit for studying vocab, to memorize elements, stuff like that. It’s a great learning platform since you learn stuff while literally playing video games. Another one that’s really good that’s a lot like Gimkit is Blooket.
You've really given valuable tips. I just finished my master's degree at a top university, but I feel like I suffered way more than necessary to get to this point. I stopped enjoying life, stopped doing everything I liked, playing video games, watching movies, hanging out with my friends, etc. I still want to continue my studies and hopefully study abroad for a PhD, but I need to get a scholarship and for that I need to keep studying hard. I want to follow your advice and start enjoying life more. Thank you, my friend. I'm probably more than 10 years older than you, but you're already an inspiration to me.
Thank you so much. I applied this to homework instead of studying, and it works just as well, except for the past papers thing obviously. I did 2 or 3 hours of homework and didn't even notice it because I realized I was enjoying it for once. I could never thank you more.
last part made me realise its not that i dont like it, but im overwhelemed and so much tired of all the things around me (most things in school) is draining my energy and i cant focus on it and have any energy left for me to do it or do enough of it. and thank you so much for the advices!!
The amount of humility and honesty you showed in Dopamine Detox is respectful man, besides that you just gave us free motivation in our school works. Great job! You deserve a sub 👍

Hey man, thank you so much for this video. Recently, I failed in both Portuguese and Math. A bit before that, my father told me we were going to Australia. He said he'd only travel with me if I did well in school. A bit later, when I told him that I failed those subjects, he said it was ok, that he wouldn't waste his money, and that we would still travel. Even though we did manage to travel, I felt bad, I knew he was sad, and I decided to change. Today, my grades in Portuguese went from 4.3 to 8.6, and in Math 5.8 to 8.2. I know it's not enough for me to get in the university I want, which is the University of British Columbia, all the way up in Vancouver, so I'm really thankful for this video. I'll try to update you if I ever get into UBC.
thanks man, I have a really big test coming up that’s more then half my grade, if I don’t get this done, I won’t have a career at all. It really helped change what I thought. It doesn’t help in the short term but in the long term. Thank you
I have a pretty good tip too: if you want to step up studying REALLY easily all you have to do is intergrate pasive studying into your life. If its spanish, talk in spanish to your spanish teacher in class or watch videos in spanish. (You can apply this to any subject)
If I ever be in first 5000 student in my country's university exams (from 1,5 million students) I will come to your videos and thank you. I was in first 18000 in a million 2,5 years ago when I passed the highschool exam. I'm going to try this after 8 months of depression.
Hey there! I was really struggling with my studies after a ten day holiday and TH-cam recommended this video to me, I am grateful for it. And yes! I am your new subscriber.
Wow, just wow. This went from me getting desperate, to genuinely feeling motivated and listening. You went from things that you have heard a lot of times, to things that correlate with the problem, like thinking outside of the box. I do want to change for the better now, which a lot of these videos have never done for me.

never expected that someone was going through the same path like me, fleeing from sexual immortality and embracing self improvement, ngl i was like "was this video meant for me?", it's like coincidence that i've watched this not just as a YT VIDEO but as a REFLECTION, good work matt keep doing it!!
it's hard to find such people like you nowadays, and honestly, this has helped me so much. I respect and appreciate your honesty and kindness. Thank you so much. I've been struggling with studies and addictions on the internet. Truly a legend.
I really admire you're honesty bro, and admitting that made me realize I do have a chance to improve myself even if I'm addicted to scrolling on social media. Huge respect to you !
thats so relatable, last year the days leading to my mock exams made me want to play roblox SO BADLY and when i did treat myself to them id have the time of my life. but when i didnt have any upcoming exams roblox just felt super boring 😭
@@gorusagul bro this is so fkin relatable I'm literally going through the same thing rn, I'm having my yr 11 mocks and i just don't find roblox fun anymore in general. i get a feeling of guilt and self hatred at the back of my mind while I'm playing, i mean its hard to get yourself to start revising but its fun when you start doing it. its easy to get yourself to start playing games but its boring when you keep doing it. u got any advice or tips u can give me?
@@acovixt yesss i 10000% understand you, i went (go 😭) through the same thing! Reminders: > i think what helps me keep focused (especially when all i want to do is quit) is reaffirming my goals, in fact, i have a note on my notes app dedicated to reasons WHY i should even be working hard, the reasons could be different for everyone, but mine are for; - getting into the uni and job i want - the academic validation - making my family happy - reminding myself of how hard ive already worked and how i dont want it to go to waste - how i dont want to regret wasting my time and waste my potential above all, i want to be satisfied with myself. Getting started with revising: > i also feel the same way about revising eventually being fun, its just starting thats so difficult. My goal reminders kind of push me up that slope of starting. another way i get started is by putting on a short timer (eg 20mins) where i HAVE to do some revision, and by the end of it i get in the mood to continue studying. Get rid of ANY distractions: > i honestly have this problem where i use my phone but dont gain any satisfaciton or happiness when i use it, but rather a heavy feeling of guilt (especially when im meant to be studying), so during gcses i would put my phone out of sight (eg in across the room on dnd), and it stopped me from picking it up every damn second. the app 'Flora' is also really good for keeping you from using your phone, i use it often so i suggest that. i'm still trying to kill my phone addiction, though. everyone revises differently but i find using 30>min pomodoros with lyricless music works best for me to focus. and after i conplete some tasks/some pomodoros, i put a timer on my break in which i relax eg watching 30mins of a gameplay video (since i know im not THAT addicted to them, so it wont be hard for me to get back into studying when the timer is up). sometimes i use a reward system, eg 'i can only watch an episode of my show AFTER completing these question papers' this way, in my longer breaks or after ive finished what i need to do, fully relaxing and playing roblox doesnt feel like a crime + i think another point worth mentioning is that i prefer to do more fulfiling things than doomscrolling/playing roblox for hours on end. getting into a hobby eg baking, reading, art, sport,,, anything without screens !!! > definitely DO NOT deprave yourself from rest especially during mocks and exams, 'work hard, play hard.' let your brain rest and please get some hours of sleep. work hard to make your rest actually meaningful. > please please please note that everything ive said is from my own experience, these conditions are just what ive found works best for ME. in the end i still have some days that i have to full on gaslight myself into thinking that a subject i hate is fun just so i revise it,,, some days are just like that. 😔 im sorry for the short essay i rushed but i hope you can gain at least something from it aaand now ive got to get back to studying since ive also been procrastinating

My biggest tip to make studying more fun is doing gimkits, blookets, or kahoots. They are easy and the don’t take much of your time I have made several blookets in my case about much of my classes (mainly science and history) and mainly get As. So yeah very recommended
Been failing class and school for a year now. And i just thought to myself “If you start distracting yourself with school you wont have to deal with your suicidal thoughts” and now im gonna be actually trying at school. I might start updating this comment who knows.
You deserve respect! Thank you for these tips. I've also suffered in addiction such as scrolling through TH-cam Shorts and Instagram reels. You have NO idea how much these tips helped me! I have an exam coming up next week so I'll be using free times to study! Once again, thank you x1000 !!! 😊
I liked how this video's ideas resemble the book Atomic Habits. Sometimes it's just that small change that makes a big difference, and the application of it to this video is well done. I love it!
tf bro actually this is so true just before watching this vid i was watching p***,s**.b**bs like it became an addiction, literally i watch it for 2- 3 days then i stop then again after a few months i again start watching nd also i later delete my search history i like it when im watching it nd then later im like "wtf was i watching" i become rlly disgusted and plus whenever my mom comes to my room i just close my laptop nd pretend like im studying , i feel nd felt rllyy bad then now i came to yt for a while i saw this i thought might as well see it , and god has given me this video srsly i thought im the only one who does this nd plus im kinda young im below 15 yrs , its rlly bad thank you soo muchhh for being truee i srsly literally dont kno how to thank u tysmmmmmmmmm broo ❤❤
i was picking my nose and this appeared 1:21 lol btw thank you forthis video , i'll start doing these tips after my tommorrow test , please wish me luck
thank you for this video!! I’m currently learning Korean and I feel so bored whenever I have to study, but now that I’ve taken your tips I feel really motivated to do it. THANK YOU MATTHEW!!!
Im literally not looking forward to studying for a pre-calculus test right now, but this motivated me. I've been applying to colleges recently, and in most of my essays Ive beaten around the bush of the self-improvement point, and being honest as well, I've gone back and forth on doing my best effort and not even trying. My spiritual life has basically flat-lined....but this video helped me give some thought on things I can do better. God is definitely the biggest part on everyone's self improvement journey. Thanks for reminding me Matt! (Im now a new subscriber)
Thank you! I didnt think this video was going to help, but its easy to feel like its not worth it to make studying fun or reward yourself for it. I want to just sit down and get it over with, it's something that i dread that i feel like is wasting my free time, so why even try to make it enjoyable? THIS. THIS IS WHY. Studying can actually be enjoyable and when you MAKE IT ENJOYABLE for yourself, its going to be a lot easier to do. Got to study for the ACT in spring, starting now, great video :)
I’ve realised it’s the honesty and transparency which lacks in a lot of these TH-camrs that means I’m never convinced. However props to you man, I’m gonna lock in.

And yet he gotchu
yes
my dopamine detox is youtube.
i feel fun after i watched video, but then immediately after i start feeling shit, because i realise that i spent 2 hours on nothing, and i have dozens of assigments to do.
i have a really good motivation of being able to do programming in my free time if i DONT spent ATLEAST a few hours in youtube, but instead just do the homework.
if i concentrate just FOR A BIT, i will already be in a much more better state than im currently am.
Bro you're basically like me :')
I use youtube for like 2/3 hours a day but I mostly use it for this type of videos or some courses. Obviously while I eat too, in that time I just relax watching some shit
Soo me

@@RyanLivesForGodAlwaysAmen ✝️
@@RyanLivesForGodAlways I appreciate that you're religious, but I don't appreciate you implying that depression is not real, or that it can be cured by 'believing in God hard enough'.
Depression is a serious medical condition that needs to be taken seriously. There are treatments that can make the symptoms more bearable, but there is no be-all end-all cure. It is not possible for these people to simply 'choose happiness'. You're not helping them by expressing this sentiment. You're asking them to ignore their feelings and pretend to be okay, instead of asking for help.
You could see depression as a God-given challenge, if you need to do that to reconcile its existence. All people face different challenges in life, and the challenge for people with depression is to find a way to make life worth living for themselves and the people around them, despite their condition.
The challenge is to take little steps at a time, despite the fact that your depression will never truly go away. And the challenge is also to dare to ask for the help you need, because nobody should face their challenges alone. And they also challenge the people around them to show kindness and understanding.
Not gonna lie, Matthew was really honest in this video so this will give the students more over a reason to become their best not just at studying but rather at everything the put their mind to and as always may God guide us on the right path.

me as a 14 year old i really enjoy the help i am a non active study enjoyer.. i really barely even study and when i do its just a very small amount of time, but matthew i had the same problems as you, i was addicted to what you were and i still am to this day and i am very sorry for what i am and for what i was, but its gonna change, matthew didnt say this for you to STOP having fun with games.. he just tryna say that taking about 30-1 hour of your gaming session just for you to study everyday is healthy.
thank you so much matthew for helping me out i really enjoy it and i hope you and everybody looking at this comment has the best life god could have given to you.
More tips :
Each person is different, I've split those to categories. Static, Audio and Visual. If you are Static, move. That means your are independent and you like to move, so do what you like. Move, speak, do activities that are associated with studying. If you are Visual, make notes. You like visually appealing notes, so do it. Same goes for Audio, music and sounds. So, be yourself and do what you like
notes from this video (i hope it helps!) ✏📚
you can benefit from this video if - you feel studying is a chore and think its the most annoying thing ever
1. change your mindset
replace all the "have"s with "get"s:
I "have" to study - I "get" to study
I "have" to get into a good college - I "get" to go to a good college
2. make studying more fun
reward yourself - after studying reward yourself with something like a candy, netflix, etc, so your brain comes to associate studying with that reward
- reward yourself as quickly as possible
- even if there is no reward, your brain will want to study
3. enjoy the process
- dont use passive study methods like studying from notes
- use active recall (like flashcards, past papers, etc things that are actually challenging, and fun)
- CHALLENGE YOURSELF (video games are so fun because they have an element of challenge)
- make studying a challenge
tip: when doing past papers, time yourself so your brain works at max speed and is fully focused on the task
4. dopamine detox
- remove instant gratifications
- they fuck up your brain
- once you do this you will be able to do healthier activities and harder things
Thank you so much

When you mentioned p0rn I nearly thought the video would go down the wrong direction- but then I realised what you were trying to say and I felt really relieved. To put it into perspective for myself, you went from being a p0rn addict to being a successful a level student with a blown up TH-cam channel, and most of all you inspire and help others. If this doesn’t show change is possible then I don’t know what will. I thank you for this video

When I was younger I would watch bad things and overtime it became an addiction, how I overcame it was by God, I started pursuing my relationship with Jesus and overtime I lost an interest in worldly things. Now the Bible says (Romans 8:13) For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

One of the rarest things from self improvement channels is when they actually admit their faults, the fact that you are willing to do that shows you are a true man of God's will and one of the best self improvement channels on the internet.
i remember about 10 years ago when i was an elementary school student, a girl tell me a joke that made me want to be better than ever:
Their ask: "Do you know what's black as ink?"
I said idk then their answer is "your future"
(maybe this not related to the video but i want to share this as a motivation for those who want to improve)

For number 3, its a good advice since its good to find a studying method you like, ex some person might like writing, flashcard, quizz, brainstorm, or maybe researching
I like to use Gimkit for studying vocab, to memorize elements, stuff like that. It’s a great learning platform since you learn stuff while literally playing video games. Another one that’s really good that’s a lot like Gimkit is Blooket.
You've really given valuable tips. I just finished my master's degree at a top university, but I feel like I suffered way more than necessary to get to this point. I stopped enjoying life, stopped doing everything I liked, playing video games, watching movies, hanging out with my friends, etc. I still want to continue my studies and hopefully study abroad for a PhD, but I need to get a scholarship and for that I need to keep studying hard. I want to follow your advice and start enjoying life more. Thank you, my friend. I'm probably more than 10 years older than you, but you're already an inspiration to me.
Thank you so much. I applied this to homework instead of studying, and it works just as well, except for the past papers thing obviously. I did 2 or 3 hours of homework and didn't even notice it because I realized I was enjoying it for once. I could never thank you more.

Hey man, thank you so much for this video. Recently, I failed in both Portuguese and Math. A bit before that, my father told me we were going to Australia. He said he'd only travel with me if I did well in school. A bit later, when I told him that I failed those subjects, he said it was ok, that he wouldn't waste his money, and that we would still travel. Even though we did manage to travel, I felt bad, I knew he was sad, and I decided to change. Today, my grades in Portuguese went from 4.3 to 8.6, and in Math 5.8 to 8.2. I know it's not enough for me to get in the university I want, which is the University of British Columbia, all the way up in Vancouver, so I'm really thankful for this video.
I'll try to update you if I ever get into UBC.
thanks man, I have a really big test coming up that’s more then half my grade, if I don’t get this done, I won’t have a career at all. It really helped change what I thought. It doesn’t help in the short term but in the long term. Thank you
I wish the stuff he said at 0:55 would actually be true all the time in this economy 😭
Bro is reading my mind 😂😭
That negative attitude isn’t gonna help you dude. Fuck the economy. Fuck “all the time.” You can do it.
man, so relatable... This is one of the most valuable videos for my whole life, not just for today :)
I have a pretty good tip too: if you want to step up studying REALLY easily all you have to do is intergrate pasive studying into your life. If its spanish, talk in spanish to your spanish teacher in class or watch videos in spanish.
(You can apply this to any subject)
one of the only videos that actually deserved my like. Thank you for this amazing video
If I ever be in first 5000 student in my country's university exams (from 1,5 million students) I will come to your videos and thank you.
I was in first 18000 in a million 2,5 years ago when I passed the highschool exam.
I'm going to try this after 8 months of depression.
Hey there! I was really struggling with my studies after a ten day holiday and TH-cam recommended this video to me, I am grateful for it. And yes! I am your new subscriber.
Hey brother, can you please make a video on full self improvement guide ( with good habits and a rough daily schedule ) ❤
3:58 guys this is right🔥
DEEPWOKEN
THE DEEP CALLS
Factorio addiction is calling you...
Alright time to make study fun!
Wow, just wow. This went from me getting desperate, to genuinely feeling motivated and listening.
You went from things that you have heard a lot of times, to things that correlate with the problem, like thinking outside of the box.
I do want to change for the better now, which a lot of these videos have never done for me.
0:18 Bro didn't have to call me out like that
Not you all of us xD
2:03 NAHH STOP FLEXING UR CHEST IM TRYING TO STUDY
When I was younger I would watch bad things and overtime it became an addiction, how I overcame it was by God, I started pursuing my relationship with Jesus and overtime I lost an interest in worldly things. Now the Bible says (Romans 8:13) For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. So me who was addicted lost interest in what I was once addicted to once I started doing the things that the Spirit desires. You will only true find God if you have a relationship with him, try to read the Bible and pray that you want God to show himself to you.

@@RyanLivesForGodAlways what r u yapping bout
@@drahonmappinga bit rude
Lmao
never expected that someone was going through the same path like me, fleeing from sexual immortality and embracing self improvement, ngl i was like "was this video meant for me?", it's like coincidence that i've watched this not just as a YT VIDEO but as a REFLECTION, good work matt keep doing it!!
it's hard to find such people like you nowadays, and honestly, this has helped me so much.
I respect and appreciate your honesty and kindness.
Thank you so much.
I've been struggling with studies and addictions on the internet.
Truly a legend.
I really admire you're honesty bro, and admitting that made me realize I do have a chance to improve myself even if I'm addicted to scrolling on social media. Huge respect to you !
4:03 NO WAY BRO PUT A DEEPWOKEN CLIP IN. that caught me by surprise icl.
DEEPWOKEN
im gonna study more js because he put a deepwoken clip in it ong
@@truly-fr real asf
Im absolutely flabbergasted
We will never escape the depths grasp.
"reward yourself after studying" ahh if it isnt old pavlov and his dog
Tbh, I'm supposed to be studying but I'm watching this instead.
same '_'
I’ll start actually taking school seriously in 8th grade
I mean inlove learning new things science and stuff but i swear when i look at the lesson's title i feel like all my energy is getting absorbed
Ngl i found gaming quite boring until i studied as i felt like its a reward and something thats nice
thats so relatable, last year the days leading to my mock exams made me want to play roblox SO BADLY and when i did treat myself to them id have the time of my life. but when i didnt have any upcoming exams roblox just felt super boring 😭
@@gorusagul bro this is so fkin relatable I'm literally going through the same thing rn, I'm having my yr 11 mocks and i just don't find roblox fun anymore in general. i get a feeling of guilt and self hatred at the back of my mind while I'm playing, i mean its hard to get yourself to start revising but its fun when you start doing it. its easy to get yourself to start playing games but its boring when you keep doing it. u got any advice or tips u can give me?
@@acovixt yesss i 10000% understand you, i went (go 😭) through the same thing!
Reminders:
> i think what helps me keep focused (especially when all i want to do is quit) is reaffirming my goals, in fact, i have a note on my notes app dedicated to reasons WHY i should even be working hard, the reasons could be different for everyone, but mine are for;
- getting into the uni and job i want
- the academic validation
- making my family happy
- reminding myself of how hard ive already worked and how i dont want it to go to waste
- how i dont want to regret wasting my time and waste my potential
above all, i want to be satisfied with myself.
Getting started with revising:
> i also feel the same way about revising eventually being fun, its just starting thats so difficult. My goal reminders kind of push me up that slope of starting.
another way i get started is by putting on a short timer (eg 20mins) where i HAVE to do some revision, and by the end of it i get in the mood to continue studying.
Get rid of ANY distractions:
> i honestly have this problem where i use my phone but dont gain any satisfaciton or happiness when i use it, but rather a heavy feeling of guilt (especially when im meant to be studying), so during gcses i would put my phone out of sight (eg in across the room on dnd), and it stopped me from picking it up every damn second.
the app 'Flora' is also really good for keeping you from using your phone, i use it often so i suggest that. i'm still trying to kill my phone addiction, though.
everyone revises differently but i find using 30>min pomodoros with lyricless music works best for me to focus. and after i conplete some tasks/some pomodoros, i put a timer on my break in which i relax eg watching 30mins of a gameplay video (since i know im not THAT addicted to them, so it wont be hard for me to get back into studying when the timer is up).
sometimes i use a reward system, eg 'i can only watch an episode of my show AFTER completing these question papers'
this way, in my longer breaks or after ive finished what i need to do, fully relaxing and playing roblox doesnt feel like a crime
+ i think another point worth mentioning is that i prefer to do more fulfiling things than doomscrolling/playing roblox for hours on end. getting into a hobby eg baking, reading, art, sport,,, anything without screens
!!!
> definitely DO NOT deprave yourself from rest especially during mocks and exams, 'work hard, play hard.' let your brain rest and please get some hours of sleep. work hard to make your rest actually meaningful.
> please please please note that everything ive said is from my own experience, these conditions are just what ive found works best for ME.
in the end i still have some days that i have to full on gaslight myself into thinking that a subject i hate is fun just so i revise it,,, some days are just like that. 😔
im sorry for the short essay i rushed but i hope you can gain at least something from it
aaand now ive got to get back to studying since ive also been procrastinating
Fr I quit tiktok a week ago cause I got so bored if it

My studies aren't just about reading books; I also spend a lot of time solving math, physics, and chemistry problems.
So, everyone does that...
Just like every one else lol

6:29 yeah I have a tik tok addiction as a college student.
This actually made me cry lol, I will genuinely change for the better. Thank you so much
My biggest tip to make studying more fun is doing gimkits, blookets, or kahoots. They are easy and the don’t take much of your time I have made several blookets in my case about much of my classes (mainly science and history) and mainly get As. So yeah very recommended
4:02 deepwoken mentioned: lobotomy engaged🤖🤖🤖🤖
5:16 bro is wild for the mc music
4:30 “You want to set a TIMER.”

Bro your ### is NOT in ####### roblox😭😭🙏🙏
@@EcoFreindlyWoodVeneer0bro😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
Been failing class and school for a year now. And i just thought to myself “If you start distracting yourself with school you wont have to deal with your suicidal thoughts” and now im gonna be actually trying at school.
I might start updating this comment who knows.
If this changes my life im gonna go back here to tell you my story. Thank you
Even watching this video feels like a chore...God I need a life reset
2:16 chat is that pavlov's dog (classical consitioning referenced??)(willingly studying is the conditioned response)(applying knowledge frfr)
i'm watching this instead of studying
You deserve respect! Thank you for these tips. I've also suffered in addiction such as scrolling through TH-cam Shorts and Instagram reels. You have NO idea how much these tips helped me! I have an exam coming up next week so I'll be using free times to study! Once again, thank you x1000 !!! 😊
I liked how this video's ideas resemble the book Atomic Habits. Sometimes it's just that small change that makes a big difference, and the application of it to this video is well done. I love it!
tf bro actually this is so true just before watching this vid i was watching p***,s**.b**bs like it became an addiction, literally i watch it for 2- 3 days then i stop then again after a few months i again start watching nd also i later delete my search history
i like it when im watching it nd then later im like "wtf was i watching" i become rlly disgusted
and plus whenever my mom comes to my room i just close my laptop nd pretend like im studying , i feel nd felt rllyy bad
then now i came to yt for a while i saw this i thought might as well see it , and god has given me this video srsly
i thought im the only one who does this nd plus im kinda young im below 15 yrs , its rlly bad
thank you soo muchhh for being truee
i srsly literally dont kno how to thank u
tysmmmmmmmmm broo ❤❤
Same with me too bro.
I feel you.
@@X-CrossTheSkeleton thanks bro, atleast someone s with me
Bro God bless you i feel you
@@RealSpeedShinobi thanks for your support bro
7:10 main character moment, it’s really cool :)
i was picking my nose and this appeared 1:21 lol
btw thank you forthis video , i'll start doing these tips after my tommorrow test , please wish me luck
good luck for your test tomorrow 😊
@@Rabi-o3r oh thank you so much :>
bro thx so much. you are better teacher than my teachers
thank you for this video!! I’m currently learning Korean and I feel so bored whenever I have to study, but now that I’ve taken your tips I feel really motivated to do it. THANK YOU MATTHEW!!!
hmm i wonder why 6:34 has a very high replay time
nah i think its because of how good he is on funky friday
5:35 how the fuck did we get to this 😭
"But I didn't go to Scrabble" gave me the chills like I had the subtle foreshadowing in my mind already
5:41 that was unexpected
Im literally not looking forward to studying for a pre-calculus test right now, but this motivated me.
I've been applying to colleges recently, and in most of my essays Ive beaten around the bush of the self-improvement point, and being honest as well, I've gone back and forth on doing my best effort and not even trying. My spiritual life has basically flat-lined....but this video helped me give some thought on things I can do better. God is definitely the biggest part on everyone's self improvement journey.
Thanks for reminding me Matt! (Im now a new subscriber)
Thank you! I didnt think this video was going to help, but its easy to feel like its not worth it to make studying fun or reward yourself for it. I want to just sit down and get it over with, it's something that i dread that i feel like is wasting my free time, so why even try to make it enjoyable? THIS. THIS IS WHY. Studying can actually be enjoyable and when you MAKE IT ENJOYABLE for yourself, its going to be a lot easier to do.
Got to study for the ACT in spring, starting now, great video :)
Why did you suddenly cook 2:23
reward
Because yummy food reward 🤤
We let him cook
Bro just plz plz plz make a video on winter arc😢
What is that

FUNKY FRIDAY

I’ve realised it’s the honesty and transparency which lacks in a lot of these TH-camrs that means I’m never convinced. However props to you man, I’m gonna lock in.
