My notes: 1. Get proper sleep (at least 7 hours) 2. Exercise (before studying 3. Separate work, play, sleep areas. 4. Mindset change: - "thank God I get to study", not "oh God I need to study" - just focus on the day. One day at a time - specify what you need to do "I need to study x chapter, x number of pages today...". Schedule a plan time
Thanks keep doing these notes pls , ppl like u help me a lot to keep a short summary of every video which I watch on YT and review them later where I save them all
I always try to do my work away from the common spaces I spend time at home. That means keeping a separate table where I work and no working on the bed, on the couch etc. It helps me stay more focused on office work.
@@ankithguzz I agree with your advice. Last semester I struggled with staying focused. But, I have been way more productive since i got a desk that’s dedicated only for school work.

Because of what dopamine levels you’re used to. You have to reset yourself (goodluck by the way)- before your brain is interested again in a low dopamine activities like studying. But if you do- happiness and success are on your way for sure
It does sometimes when I study, because I’ve made my mind appreciate the luxury and power of knowledge like wow I get to learn this and explore new ideas
For me, when I sleep I forget literally everything that happens the previous day. I read all these studies about how sleep cements things into your brain but for me it just makes them go away. I have very vivid dreams that feel almost like reality, so when I wake up, it feels like my dream was literally the previous day, and the REAL previous day's memories slip into the void.
I have never drank more than I’d say 5 ounces of coffee in my entire life and I don’t plan on ever drinking a full cup. I’m kind of glad I hate the taste, I think by not taking caffeine to stay awake, your body gets used to staying awake without any side treatment.
Caffeine makes me believe all things are possible. I become such an even more friendly and agreeable person I dont make any decisions after esp of I normally wouldn't. .
This guy deserves more subs, his vid is so well made: _really_ great editing, cited all his references, recapped everything at the end and even added video stamps. Dang!
Glad to be acquainted with you. I am also a 5th year medical student. I come from Vietnam. Compared to other disciplines, the amount of knowledge a medical student has to absorb is a lot, so it is very important to arrange a reasonable timetable for studying. Really admire how you organize your study time.
In fact, it's easier for me to study the whole night than studying for a full day! And in Indian Engineering colleges most of the student can do study for full night. I don't understand why it's so different in US.
@@AnkitKumar-vd2dd because in India, our tests are subjective, so it's easier to write exams. in USA, the tests are objective, mcq based, to attempt those, you need to have a clear base and that can't happen with an all nighter.

Working/studying 70+ hours is the easy part. The hard part is keeping your life organized around it, food, cleaning your home, paying your bills, appointments. This is what will sap your energy and focus. Remember this guy probably has more money and support and less stress than most.

Another med student here. I think working for 8 hours a day is ideal: 5 hours for medicine 1 hour for textbooks 1 hour for linguistics 1 hour for reading books -Of course sleeping 7-8 hrs a day is very important to stay physically and mentally healthy -Meeting or talking with your friends and relatives -Having a nice hobby, its better if it is a sport. I used to swim but pools are closed now so I do calisthenics That's it guys this is what I do everyday. Most important things are working smart and consistently,staying healthy and social. Have a nice day

You are able to study 70+ hours a week because you want to. For me It's always a question of how far you want to go and what are you willing to sacrifice to get there. I used to study 70+ hours a week and a few years later work 70+ hours a week also. Now I try to spend some quality time with people I love to ensure that these relationships stay healthy and strong. The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule but to schedule your priorities.
you were in my recommended and i thought this video would have 500k+ views atleast, surprised that you had 14k views. Excellent quality man, keep it up
Finally, a youtube who talks about how to focus a person's mindset, concentration, studying, and content about everybody struggling in "How do I learn something hard?" efficiently in the shortest amount of time instead of taking weeks, months, years, or maybe more than a decade and also the "Secrets of how a human brain really consumes and learn content and apply the knowledge". It will be useless to consume knowledge if we cannot apply the knowledge we gain from the knowledge. Also, talk about music for focusing and concentration, then problem-solving in mathematics, computer programming, introvert vs. extrovert vs ambivert mindsets, logical/computational thinking, mind/puzzle games, and brain-related content of the human mind's personalities/characteristics. I sub your channel. Extremely useful youtube channel doing research for me thanks. I am an ambivert but I am mostly an introverted person and undergraduate Computer science student. "Thank God I am alive so I can study once of lifetime opportunities. I am an opportunist".
The 4 ways to stay efficient: 1. Sleep Have enough sleep 7+ hours a night and varies between people 2. Exercise Do it between or before study sessions 3. Environment Study in an environment where there are no distractions with noise or visuals Make your study environment separate to your gaming environment 4. Mindset Change the "have to" into "get to" Have a specific study plan Don't just do it, just plan it
I’ve been recently grinding a lot on studies, and this is helping a lot cause i’ve been having a very very unbalanced lifestyle 99% of work/study and close to no exercise and strict minimum sleep, thanks alot
Yeah these videos and websites with "top 10 tips to do xyz" never address the personality characteristics it takes to do these things. I work a knowledge based creative job so I'm constantly having to research topics, teach myself new things, solve complex problems, write in depth papers/documents, etc. Sometimes I just can't get my mind to focus. I can budget my time to be at my desk for 8 hours but that doesn't mean I'll be effective.
Oh and don't forget having someone providing for you. Not having to work 8h a day makes wonders! I'll be happy if I can manage 36h of study a week, but I'm happy with the pace I'm advancing at. I'll manage to graduate a year early, too!! I think it's important for the people who work and study not to be let out of the productivity community. You rock, and you'll get what you're working for!! Don't feel bad for putting in less study hours than others!! At the end of the day, it's not the amount of time that matters, but the quality of the studying you've done in that time!!
Very nicely put video! The most frustrating part is being able to stick to your study schedule, because one tends to underestimate the time needed to complete the task.
Great advice, thanks for keeping us focused on the big picture and reminding us to take care of ourselves! Good luck to all my fellow students out here!
Highschools: Free babysitting for neglectful garbage parents. Kids come out useless. Universities: Way to enslaved you for life in the USA. Young adults come out useless.

Hi there I'm a student studying so that I get into a good medical school/college this year I hope I make it, this year only. 🙃 Hope your dreams and wishes come true too! Have a nice day everyone!
Nothing can compare to sleep. Sleep connects even the most complex topics, and I wake up with an a-ha, and I say, "Oh yeah, now I get it". This is how I finished my medical student studies including my Board Certification in half the time (and in my mid 40's, not some young kid). Listen to this guy. Zack, you're right on.
I have been consistent w/ 8 hrs per day (except for Sunday), thinking about 12 hrs/day. I have a system, though eagerly waiting for your video on this.
I'm sure you've helped a lot of people with this video already😍😊. This is really the most useful and practical video about study I have ever seen on youtube. Thanks a lot☺ Wish you achieve your goals and this channel grows more and more.
I like the part where you've mentioned about clean environment (or desk) which contributes a lot on the person's level of performance and motivation, whether its personal or work related matters.
Hi Zach, Am really grateful that I stumbled across this in the recommendations that TH-cam gave. Its also quite amazing how you making time to put this together whilst studying for your medical work. The world does need more doctors like you who live healthfully and then are rewarded with the health that enables them to do the work well. All the best with the rest of med school and you have my subscription. You also have my prayer support because I believe in the power of a God of love who is also the source of wisdom and knowledge. Blessings!
the first revelation in Quran was IQRA means "read" . Reading give us info , which help us to think , and right way of thinking lead us to the enlighten path and peace . So , read , from the right sources , to get the right info and think ...
to get benefited from reading its also need to be open minded , otherwise people will stuck into only what they want know . which will lead one to living a life in a myth .
I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos. I'm a single Mom with two jobs and decided on a career change. I'm taking Practical Nursing and don't have the pleasure of 7 hours of sleep but I'm trying as much as I can to take naps during my break time as I work from home 4 days a week.
So glad this was recommended to me on my yt during hell week of my term, it definitely helped me managed my time and even made me study straight for much more hours than my usual hours of studying thank you for this informative video 😊
I can study anywhere, even upside down, as long as I'm warm. One of my favourite study places was when my daughters were in the indoor swimming pool and I was in the cafeteria next to it, which was warm like a sauna.
I study for about 7 to 10 hours a day.... It's not about how dedicated you are or a measure of sincerity... It's about enjoying it and having the right type of friends. If you have a who has the same goal you are pursuing, that is more than enough. I still watch TH-cam and Netflix for 3-4 hours
damn, i'm in animation, and i've been doing all-nighters every day (or when im working) since my first day in my 3d animation program (college 2015) and in those 5-6 years, my body and brain has been exhausted, restless and aggressive (deadlines, etc are crazy) and this literally just came at a perfect time when i was deciding to just scrap those consistencies and start a new habit. The sleep bit is extremely important and you got me invested to really focus on it. ty youtube algorithm lol
I love this! I’ve heard most if these tips before but because of your research and evidence to back up everything you’ve said, makes me believe in them more
The problem for me isn't that I don't know how to study. I mean, I know all these tips. The problem is that going to sleep at a good time, exercising just to study for 10h/day is just so fucking boring. I don't want to live my life like that. Study until my soul gets sucked out of me only to work in some mundane-ass office for the rest of my life. Anyone feel the same?
If you don't like it, don't do it. You cannot sustainably force a life like this on you. Focus on your goal and if that doesn't justify the work, maybe you might want to consider a different goal. There's no point in doing any of this, if you don't even want to
do not seek for approbation and just do what makes you happy . if everyone was made to be the most hardworking, successful, with the most perfect/healthy lifestyle (at least in the definition that's given by that kind of youtubers), we'll live in a f****** boring world. find what's good for you and go for it. there are as many ways of life as there are people on earth.
You could work towards establishing a good income and invest your hard earned money for years until you are able to receive the same amount from work as you do from your investments. By that time you'll be making money without actually working your ass for it, that's a way to achieve financial freedom, you make your money work for you
In my experience, it’s really about how you optimise your time. If you prioritise studying and put it on as high a priority as sleep, for example, you could win the game. Also, if you’d like, I’d recommend the book “Code of the extraordinary mind”. It’s changed my life and I believe it can help you too. Stay safe, happy and blessed :)
7:00 Another classical conditioning technique if students are in a dorm setting and don't have that many options to study or relax, is to have a study lamp. That lamp is only used for studying. When you wake up and it's study time, turn it on, and when you are taking a break, turn it off and walk into a different room or get a snack, or watch tv on the bed. The brain reacts in the same way as sitting in chairs, as Zach pointed out, that when the lamp is turned on-- its study time. This is the source I found it from (Marty Lobdell - Study Less Study Smart - TH-cam ) time flew by when I watched it, he is very entertaining to watch and makes the lecture very simple and motivating
I know you mightnt have much first first hand experience, but, I’d love to see a video about studying with ADHD/Dyslexia. I have both and I find it SO hard to stick to a study method, and sooooooo hard to remember things, even with active recall. I’m 19 and in university and I have watched all of Ali Abdaal, Thomas Frank, all other studytubers videos, and none fit because I don’t learn their way. Problem is I don’t know how I do learn. Studying a science subject is especially difficult with the sheer amount of facts you have to take in (as opposed to learning HOW to do things with humanities or arts)
Hey, yeah sorry I don't have much experience with this so can't give advice. I AM NOT GIVING MEDICAL ADVICE HERE, but it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor about this / I have heard good things about CBT from other friends who have ADHD (after they talked to their doctor about medications). Good luck! I'm sure if you keep pushing you will do well.
Things that i will apply for myself from this video: - consistent waking up time - classical conditioning for where u sit and study - dont say "i have to study.....", say "i get to study...." - focus on what tasks u have to do today rather than worrying about the long term bigger picture task
This revealed some things to me, thank you. Studying and working got increasingly hard for me and I had an easy time learning at some point. I think now I identified some issues that throw off my focus during work and study times
I agree with mindset theory I started writing down a list of what I needed to study and what I needed to do each day and so because I had a plan, a goal you reach it. Not just studying the first thing you see.
From the hardest engineering school of my country. 1st year I studied about 70hr a week and barely pass 80% of clases. 2nd year I studied 50hr and did much better with better techniques 3rd to 6th year I only studied about 10 hrs per test / exam (30 a week). And got one of the highest scores. Learned that it's not about the number of hours but the techniques of how to learn and summarize stuff efficiently
My notes:
1. Get proper sleep (at least 7 hours)
2. Exercise (before studying
3. Separate work, play, sleep areas.
4. Mindset change:
- "thank God I get to study", not "oh God I need to study"
- just focus on the day. One day at a time
- specify what you need to do "I need to study x chapter, x number of pages today...". Schedule a plan time

I've been to med school and I can say that the people who perform best in class are not those who study the longest (like 10 hours+ per day or something).
It's really about talent. The top students are those who don't really study that much, but is able to retain what they have learnt for very long time. They also learn very quickly.
That comment is worth more than this video tbh
Relatable.
You're absolutely right! And better retention and memory comes from adequate sleep as well as good sleep health 👌🏽
Plus obviously exercise
Guess what, the people who study 10 hours are in Med school, otherwise you wouldn't observe this. You don't have to be a top student to become a doctor. Excercis, good diet and sleep play a huge role also.

so cinematic and informal! also I love the interior of his house!
He’s a med student, cinematographer, writer, philosopher, educator, psychologist.
@@carolclmcm1214 WOW what a man
Another med student here.
I think working for 8 hours a day is ideal:
5 hours for medicine
1 hour for textbooks
1 hour for linguistics
1 hour for reading books
-Of course sleeping 7-8 hrs a day is very important to stay physically and mentally healthy
-Meeting or talking with your friends and relatives
-Having a nice hobby, its better if it is a sport. I used to swim but pools are closed now so I do calisthenics
That's it guys this is what I do everyday. Most important things are working smart and consistently,staying healthy and social. Have a nice day
Sounds like a good schedule to me!
kinda lame question, but why is 1 hour for textbook not included under 5 hours of medicine?
@@kexz6926 i have the same question 😂
You have time to read non medical books for 1hr a day???
That works if you don't need a job to pay your tuition :/

You are able to study 70+ hours a week because you want to.
For me It's always a question of how far you want to go and what are you willing to sacrifice to get there. I used to study 70+ hours a week and a few years later work 70+ hours a week also.
Now I try to spend some quality time with people I love to ensure that these relationships stay healthy and strong. The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule but to schedule your priorities.
Ohh man this is freaking awesome! Please never stop making stuff like this.
Thank you! The uploads will keep coming for sure.
you were in my recommended and i thought this video would have 500k+ views atleast, surprised that you had 14k views. Excellent quality man, keep it up
Thank you for the nice words.
shower before bed is top tier advise, you really put your body in relax mode ready for bed!
Finally, a youtube who talks about how to focus a person's mindset, concentration, studying, and content about everybody struggling in "How do I learn something hard?" efficiently in the shortest amount of time instead of taking weeks, months, years, or maybe more than a decade and also the "Secrets of how a human brain really consumes and learn content and apply the knowledge". It will be useless to consume knowledge if we cannot apply the knowledge we gain from the knowledge. Also, talk about music for focusing and concentration, then problem-solving in mathematics, computer programming, introvert vs. extrovert vs ambivert mindsets, logical/computational thinking, mind/puzzle games, and brain-related content of the human mind's personalities/characteristics. I sub your channel. Extremely useful youtube channel doing research for me thanks. I am an ambivert but I am mostly an introverted person and undergraduate Computer science student. "Thank God I am alive so I can study once of lifetime opportunities. I am an opportunist".
this video is fire, and I'm not even in college studying anymore. it still applies to life
So glad TH-cam recommended me this, your chanel looks pretty interesting, I'll be watching your others videos
thanks for watching
The 4 ways to stay efficient:
1. Sleep
Have enough sleep
7+ hours a night and varies between people
2. Exercise
Do it between or before study sessions
3. Environment
Study in an environment where there are no distractions with noise or visuals
Make your study environment separate to your gaming environment
4. Mindset
Change the "have to" into "get to"
Have a specific study plan
Don't just do it, just plan it
One thing that has really helped me is solely studying/doing homework at school. It makes being at home relaxing and being at school productive
I’ve been recently grinding a lot on studies, and this is helping a lot cause i’ve been having a very very unbalanced lifestyle 99% of work/study and close to no exercise and strict minimum sleep, thanks alot
So... basically you're that human being everyone aspires to be, but nobody's able to
Yea I’ve been trying this for years. Flaws run deep.
Yeah these videos and websites with "top 10 tips to do xyz" never address the personality characteristics it takes to do these things. I work a knowledge based creative job so I'm constantly having to research topics, teach myself new things, solve complex problems, write in depth papers/documents, etc. Sometimes I just can't get my mind to focus. I can budget my time to be at my desk for 8 hours but that doesn't mean I'll be effective.
i don’t aspire to have no free time
Oh and don't forget having someone providing for you. Not having to work 8h a day makes wonders! I'll be happy if I can manage 36h of study a week, but I'm happy with the pace I'm advancing at. I'll manage to graduate a year early, too!! I think it's important for the people who work and study not to be let out of the productivity community. You rock, and you'll get what you're working for!! Don't feel bad for putting in less study hours than others!! At the end of the day, it's not the amount of time that matters, but the quality of the studying you've done in that time!!
Very nicely put video! The most frustrating part is being able to stick to your study schedule, because one tends to underestimate the time needed to complete the task.
This video really sent me in the right direction...glad I'm rewatching it
Great advice, thanks for keeping us focused on the big picture and reminding us to take care of ourselves! Good luck to all my fellow students out here!
Highschools:You don't need sleep,you need to know that Mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell
It is doe
Is that a Pokemon?
What is that can you spend it?
Highschools: Free babysitting for neglectful garbage parents. Kids come out useless.
Universities: Way to enslaved you for life in the USA. Young adults come out useless.
Which highschool are you?😂 Mitochondria is a middle school topic! 😂
High school be like : "CALCULUS & THERMODYNAMICS and if u don't even know these then what's the point of us teaching u all instead of taking care of our own kids with their studies." 😐
hey you really helped me with my study routine/schedule! I appreciate your content ❤️😊
Glad to help! Thanks for watching
5:05 such the best setting for a deep study session, no music, no noise, just pure concentration 😊
Brilliant insight Zach, thanks a lot for putting all of this thought and effort into helping people!
One thing that's really important for get dopamine on these process is doing any control method where you can see your previous progress!
Hi there I'm a student studying so that I get into a good medical school/college this year I hope I make it, this year only. 🙃
Hope your dreams and wishes come true too!
Have a nice day everyone!
Wish you best of luck! You will do it! ✨ 🤞
@@alexlakiza Thank you so much.😀😃
Ive been watching videos on studying for the last 7 hours and the only motivation i got is to watch more:)
Love the “I get to study”!!!
Pure gold still a year later. Needed the refresher
Nothing can compare to sleep. Sleep connects even the most complex topics, and I wake up with an a-ha, and I say, "Oh yeah, now I get it". This is how I finished my medical student studies including my Board Certification in half the time (and in my mid 40's, not some young kid). Listen to this guy. Zack, you're right on.
I thought he'd have a 100k subs minimum, I was shocked when I actually checked, guys let's get his count high, he deserves it
thank you!
This is a great video. I was already implementing many of the techniques mentioned, but there seems to be room for improvement. Thanks for this!
I have been consistent w/ 8 hrs per day (except for Sunday), thinking about 12 hrs/day.
I have a system, though eagerly waiting for your video on this.
Yeah 12 is a lot I usually am at around 8-10, when I start step 1 studying I’ll be at around 11.
@@ZachHighley Mon-Sat Study: 5-8 Am, 8.30-10.30 Am, 1-4 pm, 5-8pm, 8.30-9.30pm. (+Cooking, Chores, Yoga e.t.c.)
I'm sure you've helped a lot of people with this video already😍😊. This is really the most useful and practical video about study I have ever seen on youtube. Thanks a lot☺ Wish you achieve your goals and this channel grows more and more.
I like the part where you've mentioned about clean environment (or desk) which contributes a lot on the person's level of performance and motivation, whether its personal or work related matters.
Hi Zach,
Am really grateful that I stumbled across this in the recommendations that TH-cam gave. Its also quite amazing how you making time to put this together whilst studying for your medical work. The world does need more doctors like you who live healthfully and then are rewarded with the health that enables them to do the work well. All the best with the rest of med school and you have my subscription. You also have my prayer support because I believe in the power of a God of love who is also the source of wisdom and knowledge.
Blessings!
i'll be studying for 30 mins and feels like i'm done for the day
i used to feel same way but still i continued, now its been almost two months and never missed a day
the first revelation in Quran was IQRA means "read" . Reading give us info , which help us to think , and right way of thinking lead us to the enlighten path and peace . So , read , from the right sources , to get the right info and think ...
Fancy seeing a muslim here :)
and boom then you see yourself working for isis
@@anmolmanhas6539 the conclusion of yours result of some info definitely but not from the right sources.
to get benefited from reading its also need to be open minded , otherwise people will stuck into only what they want know . which will lead one to living a life in a myth .
@@usernotfound232 it was not my intention to offend you . peace .
This video is gold. I‘m also studying/working 70+ hours a week and everything he says is true and GOLD.
Probs on this video and good luck in medical school!
I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos. I'm a single Mom with two jobs and decided on a career change. I'm taking Practical Nursing and don't have the pleasure of 7 hours of sleep but I'm trying as much as I can to take naps during my break time as I work from home 4 days a week.
So glad this was recommended to me on my yt during hell week of my term, it definitely helped me managed my time and even made me study straight for much more hours than my usual hours of studying thank you for this informative video 😊

UPSC aspirants - seems like my holiday plan

JEE Aspirants : "hold my textbook"
I can study anywhere, even upside down, as long as I'm warm. One of my favourite study places was when my daughters were in the indoor swimming pool and I was in the cafeteria next to it, which was warm like a sauna.
When I'm cozy and warm I start to feel sleepy when studying.
cant help but appreciating the colour palette of this video while watching...
the content is very helpful too! thx!
really like your style of presenting your points, simple but key to the point
I study for about 7 to 10 hours a day....
It's not about how dedicated you are or a measure of sincerity... It's about enjoying it and having the right type of friends. If you have a who has the same goal you are pursuing, that is more than enough.
I still watch TH-cam and Netflix for 3-4 hours
this is helpful. ppl, pls leave a like and let the algorithm do its thing
damn, i'm in animation, and i've been doing all-nighters every day (or when im working) since my first day in my 3d animation program (college 2015) and in those 5-6 years, my body and brain has been exhausted, restless and aggressive (deadlines, etc are crazy) and this literally just came at a perfect time when i was deciding to just scrap those consistencies and start a new habit. The sleep bit is extremely important and you got me invested to really focus on it. ty youtube algorithm lol
how r u doing with it now?
I love this! I’ve heard most if these tips before but because of your research and evidence to back up everything you’ve said, makes me believe in them more
That thing live 1 day at time is just so helpfull. Finaly I can try to live and not just worry about future.
The problem for me isn't that I don't know how to study. I mean, I know all these tips. The problem is that going to sleep at a good time, exercising just to study for 10h/day is just so fucking boring. I don't want to live my life like that. Study until my soul gets sucked out of me only to work in some mundane-ass office for the rest of my life. Anyone feel the same?
If you don't like it, don't do it. You cannot sustainably force a life like this on you. Focus on your goal and if that doesn't justify the work, maybe you might want to consider a different goal. There's no point in doing any of this, if you don't even want to
i completely agree
do not seek for approbation and just do what makes you happy . if everyone was made to be the most hardworking, successful, with the most perfect/healthy lifestyle (at least in the definition that's given by that kind of youtubers), we'll live in a f****** boring world. find what's good for you and go for it. there are as many ways of life as there are people on earth.
You could work towards establishing a good income and invest your hard earned money for years until you are able to receive the same amount from work as you do from your investments. By that time you'll be making money without actually working your ass for it, that's a way to achieve financial freedom, you make your money work for you
@@gaaraio2771 yea or you could work on yourself and try to understand why you're associating money and freedom
If I get 8 hours of sleep, eat healthy, exercise, shower, etc., I have just a short period of time left for study. One can never win the game.
In my experience, it’s really about how you optimise your time. If you prioritise studying and put it on as high a priority as sleep, for example, you could win the game. Also, if you’d like, I’d recommend the book “Code of the extraordinary mind”. It’s changed my life and I believe it can help you too. Stay safe, happy and blessed :)
@@joelgill892 I schedule every hour of my day
@@stephaniep1761 dude study time is easily managed in these activities
well i did.
If you start studying from day 1 you can manage it. Also studying during weekends.
@@EspeonMistress00 ahhh, forget pointless studying. I'm moving to an island.
this mindset change is probably the most important one.
7:00 Another classical conditioning technique if students are in a dorm setting and don't have that many options to study or relax, is to have a study lamp. That lamp is only used for studying. When you wake up and it's study time, turn it on, and when you are taking a break, turn it off and walk into a different room or get a snack, or watch tv on the bed. The brain reacts in the same way as sitting in chairs, as Zach pointed out, that when the lamp is turned on-- its study time. This is the source I found it from (Marty Lobdell - Study Less Study Smart - TH-cam ) time flew by when I watched it, he is very entertaining to watch and makes the lecture very simple and motivating
Zach: Change the space! Go to the library!
The Library: Closed due to COVID
I know you mightnt have much first first hand experience, but, I’d love to see a video about studying with ADHD/Dyslexia. I have both and I find it SO hard to stick to a study method, and sooooooo hard to remember things, even with active recall.
I’m 19 and in university and I have watched all of Ali Abdaal, Thomas Frank, all other studytubers videos, and none fit because I don’t learn their way. Problem is I don’t know how I do learn.
Studying a science subject is especially difficult with the sheer amount of facts you have to take in (as opposed to learning HOW to do things with humanities or arts)
I have ADHD too. And I know it, is very hard to remember things. But I always try to review and summarize what I understand.
Hey, yeah sorry I don't have much experience with this so can't give advice.
I AM NOT GIVING MEDICAL ADVICE HERE, but it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor about this / I have heard good things about CBT from other friends who have ADHD (after they talked to their doctor about medications).
Good luck! I'm sure if you keep pushing you will do well.
Things that i will apply for myself from this video:
- consistent waking up time
- classical conditioning for where u sit and study
- dont say "i have to study.....", say "i get to study...."
- focus on what tasks u have to do today rather than worrying about the long term bigger picture task
This revealed some things to me, thank you.
Studying and working got increasingly hard for me and I had an easy time learning at some point. I think now I identified some issues that throw off my focus during work and study times
I agree with mindset theory
I started writing down a list of what I needed to study and what I needed to do each day and so because I had a plan, a goal you reach it. Not just studying the first thing you see.
From the hardest engineering school of my country.
1st year I studied about 70hr a week and barely pass 80% of clases.
2nd year I studied 50hr and did much better with better techniques
3rd to 6th year I only studied about 10 hrs per test / exam (30 a week). And got one of the highest scores. Learned that it's not about the number of hours but the techniques of how to learn and summarize stuff efficiently
Yeah mate would be great if you share some personal experiences
