Actually I can postively do that turn off notifications or simply turn off my phone. However, since I'm getting an iPad and apple pencil this upcoming week I'll have to do the same. And that's genius idea prioritize your distractions by order. I'm always at home since I'm a college student I'm mostly off on Monday and Tuesdays. I'm student with a disability so I have like 3 classes towards end of the week. So I may have more time to find place to study and use headphones and Nosli (extension on chrome web store) to keep myself productive, and use Self Control (MacOS app) to block websites I tend to go on.
With the 25 5 25 5 thing how do you keep concentration in the second and third one? As it feels like the first one is always not too bad with concentration going around 15-20 minutes in then the second it’s like 5-10 minutes. How can you stop this from happening?
I am my biggest distraction. I don’t use any social media besides TH-cam. I start studying and my mind takes off into lala land. I think of questions unrelated to the topic i’m studying. For example if im studying anatomy something sparks a short story idea comes to surface or a question about ochem. 🤷🏾♀️
silent aria listening to music without sounds at low volumes(just to create a uniform background noise) won’t distract you. Try it. Check out the playlist : study with me by Ali Abdaal on Spotify

1. Admit you have a problem, and apply the 80/20 rule. Make a list of your distractions (around 20) and.... 2. Take the top 5 distractions and enforce systems to reduce temptations - block notifications, etc 3. Environmental modifications - noise levels, company or alone - limit distractions, keep phone away, conductive to extended periods of work, comfort, good desk, outlet for laptop, respect of your work from others, prevent interruptions 4. Prioritise working solo over group work - keep groups small (min 2 Others), keep for difficult concepts where help is needed. 5. Use the Pomodoro technique - acutely forces focus, pacing for extended work, builds focus muscle 6. Use psychology to your advantage - Pavlovian/classical conditioning, make a routine for your subconscious, study playlist (instrumental only) 7. Reprioritise delayed benefit activities - exercise, healthy food, *_sleep_* , taking actual breaks, Parkinson's Law.
I rarely suffer from distractions or procrastination. Main problem is my mind itself. When I'm getting bored by time, my brain takes the control and starts to think about insignificant topics/events. Ranging from the future of the humanity to imagining myself as a f**cking ninja from konoha. Any ideas how to prevent these thoughts?
For me when I get a prompt in my head I immediately type/write it out to get it out of my system, otherwise it feels like chewing on a piece of gum that's long-lost it's flavour- distracting and stale
I can't express how helpful the pomodoro technique has been to me. I started using it freshman year when I first watched the video and it's netted me fantastic results. Very helpful part of my systems
Hi! Can you also make a video focusing on learning how to prioritize Delayed-Benefit activities? I’ve always wanted to be at a more stable weight/have healthier coping mechanisms (especially because I stress eat a lot) but ever since I entered med school, i have felt like everything’s so overwhelming and I need to sacrifice sleep, exercise and eating healthy to compensate for the stress. After watching this vid, it made me realize that it shouldn’t have to be that way and that studying efficiently + alotting time for exercise and choosing to be healthier can be done. Thank you, Doc!
What helped with me was making a second account on my laptop. As you can probably tell, I am on my study account right now. This was something I found sceptical at first, but I have actually been much less distracted while doing so. I have the studying mindset, and I don't allow myself to go on TH-cam, and if you really struggle with this, then you can block entertainment apps. Turning off your phone also helped me out a lot
When I searched for “how to pay attention during studying” I was hoping for a girl filming an aesthetic video making tea and meditating to stay focused lol
The way my concentration span is so short,I just went from watching the video to reading comments and laughing. Now all I here is:Blah Blah Blah Blah focus and eventually"the great focus plus..." 🤦
Here's some thing I'd like you to make a video on: getting into medical school as a mature student with a full time job. It's quite common outside of the US. It takes a lot of self discipline to come home from work and start studying and I'd love some advice from you.
To sum this all up, in order to effectively study is you want to work in an environment where you can keep your phone away as much you can, do not sit near a door where people comes in, and never ever study close to a television. Except if you live in a house with many televisions, or not I suggest pulling the plug or put the remotes somewhere. Students needs a study space where they're not distracted and make sure to inform others that you need to study is vital, most definitely do that and they won't bother you until you've done your studying. Since social media apps and the internet can be distracting, use tools to help block apps, or websites so you can focus. If people uses a tablet turn off notifications, log out of social media apps or websites or put on do not disturb mode. For MacOS I suggest Self Control, or keepmeout (website it's free on web/internet) they blacklist or whitelists websites from accessing until you're done studying or doing homework. Also having quality time like exercising as you mention, Jubbal is not waste of time. Because like Finland make quality time for your self, and also exercise helps keep your mind off from unnecessary thoughts including studying. Overall, find yourself a study space you'll not be distracted, turn off your phone, log out from websites or social media and websites, or turn off the wi-fi or cellular data from your phone. Use useful app tools to block apps or websites from distracting you, and please don't vigorously work without rest. There's always reason why Finland is #1 for less standardized tests is making time for things that are worth your time, you enjoy, and makes you feel good. So balance personal self care and quality time with studying.
Thank you so much Dr. Jubbal. With the pandemic, I lost my hability to stay focused/motivated on my studies. This video has helped me so much, I now think I can actually make it till the end of my career. Blessings.
about the clean desk... I agree. earlier this year I started decorating my desk to make it look all cute and full of stationery like a korean studygram, but now I feel like just getting rid of it all and just using a pencil case to keep my essentials and leave the desk completely clear of stuff.
i watch house m.d. during breaks since i can diagnose people like I'm part of house's team and it motivates me at the same time b/c house makes me feel dumb after an episode
This is my favourite channel. I especially like it when you explain everything so nicely. I wish you a lot of success with the channel and happy life.❤️
There are some days when I struggle to be productive even with my passion but other days when my passion drives me. Even when I've built a habit ,some days I just can't .
The thing is we are here because we want to study hard and there are thousands of people who don't want that but our parents still hate us for our marks 😢
Another solid video! These tips and helpful pieces of advice actually work if we actively integrate it in our habits. Please do the Smartphone optimization video! And may I suggest for another video topic is: How to cultivate a growth mindset, and A scientific take on Grit (since the term is getting more popular in an academic viewpoint for students of all fields).
There is always a cause of distraction. You can't reduce or destroy them. You have to learn to control your self. You know controling your self is easier than controling everything around you. For people with problem of procrastination I suggest Going library but note this NEVER bring headphone or something like that so you won't be distracted by youtube videos.
I follow your video regularly. Please make a video to focus on studying when brain is storming with other thoughts. I love your ideas backing up with scientific theories.
1. Identify and Remove distractions 2. Optimise Environment - limited distractions, set a specific time 3. Small Groups or Solo Work 4. Pomodoro Technique - Healthy Breaks
I am very late to this but I have huge problem with starting studying. I want to apply to medical school next year. The test will be in march so I have just about full year before the test. The problem is I just can't start. Still, now with your videos I am starting to feel somehow motivated everyday a bit by bit. I had to start since the first day of this month (now it's 13th) so I am very slow to start but I am growing my powers to start studying everyday. I think I will grab the book and start reading it aloud tomorrow as I have a problem with reading a book but not actually reading it and just kinda "skipping" everything I think I read.
Hey, when is the vid coming, on how to use ur phone as a tool. I am in a real need for that. Thank you for your amazing videos you have created and that are to come. Xoxo
I watched this video to stop daydreaming so I could concentrate but I daydreamed while I watched this video. How can I learn to concentrate if I can't concentrate while learning?!?!
I procrastinated 3 weeks until I started this video and even then before I actually clicked the Play-Button, I was watching several videos beforehand and listening to new music. My thesis: Those, who most urgently have to watch this video will maybe never watch it :D
OKAY! you are right on your own way but about tool as per phone is depend how much you should use it due your satisfaction If you continuesly useing than it is your fault
This video reminds me of one of Luther's wise lessons. When he had to do way more in a day than he considered possible, he would start with 3 hours of prayer and pray between tasks. I am a Christian myself, but I think that it is understandable from a potentially non-Christian perspective by thinking about the relaxation prayer can give.

Ya... It is something that distracts me
Yes
Yes
I truly need this
I agree
Wow I messaged you on Facebook a month ago to make a video on how to remain focused while studying. Thank you sooo much for this. 🤩🤩
I got the idea from you =)

Wondering how the world would be like if people could actually use jutsu distracts me more than I'd like to admit lol
Plague Doc use 30 min method and 5 min break
BOI OH BOI, WHEN I GET MOTIVATED TO STUDY, I STUDY
BUT THEN I START PROCRASTINATING AND GETTING DISTRACTED BY EVERYTHING
Some people say that meditation works in these situations. Meditate regularly.
For me when I get a prompt in my head I immediately type/write it out to get it out of my system, otherwise it feels like chewing on a piece of gum that's long-lost it's flavour- distracting and stale
who else is watching this when they're supposed to be studying? 😂
Aye
Eno Jiang me I just want to watch this my mom doesn’t know I just don’t want to do my work my teacher didn’t assign me this lol 😂
i see karma akabane!
Meeee
Aye me too
first step: stay focused while watching this video for 10m straight
😂
I stopped at 2 min and I'm reading the comments now 🤧

I am sure that we all have the same distraction
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I used Pomodoro technique for the first time, and to tell you, I got all my assignments done in just one afternoon! Thank you so much for existing.
I love studying when its noisy makes me more focused on my work and i am an extrovert, never knew those things were connected thanks
I can't express how helpful the pomodoro technique has been to me. I started using it freshman year when I first watched the video and it's netted me fantastic results. Very helpful part of my systems
Great video and yes a video about making the phone a tool it would be fantastic.
Yes making a video about using a smartphone as a tool would be very helpful!
After getting a 2.5 GPA in softmorr year I knew I couldnt waste time n thats basically my motivation for staying focused

Great Thanks! I find all your tips significantly relevant. I see as if you have synthesized all evidence-based techniques into this video. Thanks
The 1% that causes 99% of my distractions is watching TH-cam videos
Mine too

I love and appreciate your videos and the help you give out out. Keep up with the good work. You don't know how much you've helped me

Please :) thank u
Stoped studying to see this and now I'm gonna see videos about how to not procrastinate

You deserve so much more attention. Very useful content & great production.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Do you have videos on how to do time management and how to distribute your lessons for the week? Love the videos! 😍
That went from 0 to commercial real quick.
Another interesting and helpful video. Thank you!
really needed this for finishing all my work before school starts!
I just started my freshman year of college and this video will definitely be useful for me as I move forward!
There is always a cause of distraction.
You can't reduce or destroy them. You have to learn to control your self. You know controling your self is easier than controling everything around you.
For people with problem of procrastination I suggest
Going library but note this
NEVER bring headphone or something like that so you won't be distracted by youtube videos.

Videos like this need to be 1 minute long. My attention span can’t handle more than that 😭..
the smartphone settings video idea is great
I would love a video about how to set up my technology to best facilitate productivity.
Thanks
Thank you for the video, it is really helpful
Thanks a lot, going to try this!
Great video! I’m confident that if I apply all of your recommendations I’ll be able to study effectively for the lsat. Thank you

the video very very useful for our day tot day lives. and sure plz make a video on "smartphone as a tool and not a distraction"
Just got to youtube turn to incognito and done so if u ever open yt during study , no yt shorts and no videos 😁

Lmfaooo my list is literally
Old stuff in my room
Just sitting and scratching my head
Singing
Old memories
Me acting out scenes from movies
Ugh same I have a test tommorow but I just CANNOT FOCUS on studying😭 Everything distracts me
The secret is to start meditate in the morning for 5 min. Meditation has a lot of benefits.

OKAY! you are right on your own way but about tool as per phone is depend how much you should use it due your satisfaction
If you continuesly useing than it is your fault
This video reminds me of one of Luther's wise lessons. When he had to do way more in a day than he considered possible, he would start with 3 hours of prayer and pray between tasks. I am a Christian myself, but I think that it is understandable from a potentially non-Christian perspective by thinking about the relaxation prayer can give.
Also I gotta remember to take on bite sized pieces of things/activities.
can u do a vid bout how to be motivated in studying????
Do the tool phone video please.
oh boy I get distracted alot but I'm learning to focus on my assignment
i cant even stay focused for this video
Smart phone as a tool would definitely be a very helpful video!! Your videos are great btw
