    Since so many of you are already taking final exams, I worked really hard to get this one done early. Hope you enjoy it!

      Holy banana pancakes.... I literally sent you an email two days ago asking for a video on how to make a study schedule...and bam! Here it is! Are you psychic on top of everything else?? Haha...but honestly, thank you so so much for this video, I really needed the advice. Great video as always :D

      +King of Kings you really have to decide whether your knowledge gaps are large enough to justify showing up to the exam with a severely hampered brain. No one is perfect, and occasionally you'll run into situations where you're woefully unprepared - but I think you should really try to plan ahead so you never have to pull one.
      I only did one all-nighter during my college career, and it wasn't even for a test; it was because I started redesigning my site and completely lost track of time :P

      SuperTom! Imagine actually having to constantly put up with everyone's mad thoughts...I guess it would get pretty exhausting at times. Honestly though, I think you'd manage to find an amazing hack to prevent you from going round the twist like the other psychics out there :D

  • @tgime1
    @tgime1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This might sound like a lot but prepping is key! I copied and pasted my electronic syllabus into my evernote and put checkboxes for everything I felt comfortable with. It was a little consuming at first, and stressful considering the time crunch, but once I had a system going it became very easy to follow and I felt more confident going into the exam because I knew what I had covered and what I was a little rusty on. I made sure to focus on what I knew and filled in the gaps as I worked through my exams. I usually get testers anxiety but prepping this way really helped. Also, if you're a nervous nail biter, pop in some gum during the exam. Good luck!

    Ooofff. My exams are in 3 weeks and this is the first time I will study THIS early and not a day or two before exams and get in 80's and one or two 90's (Mind u, I'm in 8th grade)
    Well, partially becuz I didn't understand ANYTHING during online classes and partially becuz I now am REALLY knowing how important education is cuz a LOT has happened during my 13 years of life. And my mom depends on me SO MUCH. And my grandfather telling me what happened becuz he wasn't educated, and how my 8 years of suffering (13-20) will make me live a comfortable 70 years or more and me not regretting anything.
    Ur videos and watching other ppl study and be productive has helped me to be SO MUCH and made me be more productive so thank u!

That's the problem for me, and it is also one of the main things that lead me to a hella intense procrastination.

    hi! i've been watching lots of your videos in a while and found a bunch of helpful tips and i love them!! i'm a first year college student and a person who likes to plan and stay organized. Though, sometimes, i get overwhelmed by planning and replanning (especially in times when academic and nonacademic activities get together so much) all of the things i need to have on my calendar, to-do lists etc. and find myself wasting 'not-a-small-amount' of time . Anyways, i wonder if you're planning to make a video about 'overplanning', if not i would really appreciate if you did!

Do you have any advice on how to deal with unknown variables when planning? I will have to do an unknown amount of research and work in the upcoming month and take care of someone who sometimes just takes a whole day or evening out of my plan...

    Thank you Thomas for this very useful tips and video. I have a question, you mentioned to schedule according to said person's energy level.
    Does this suggest that I should schedule in advance and on the day depending on my energy level, I can update the schedule for the day assuming I'm slightly on the lower end.
    However, what are the likely impacts on productivity in this case? Such as tasks gets snowballed and other unknown various factors. How would you effectively counteract such a scenario, very much like to hear your thoughts on this! And everybody else's as well. Cheers and good luck to everyone out there.
