========================
Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

Hi Tina 👩🏻💻I’m doing a coding boot camp online and one of the requirements is to do a “coffee chat” with 2 new people in tech a week and I’m not sure how I’ll do that haha but if you’d be open to a 10 min coffee chat on zoom or something that’d be awesome! No worries though👩🏻💻 I have to get comfortable asking so it’s still a start😅

thanks for the code Tina!
hi tina this offer is available ?
I think the "just show up" method is insanely slept on. The amount of times I didn't want to work out but just "tried to" and then ended up exercising for 2 hours is immeasurable. This video motivated me a lot. Thank you so much for uploading it.
100%! Hardest part is showing up~ mentally and physically ahah
Love this even with work when I just showed up, shift was smoother time went by fast
Some quality content right here. Really liked it. Made a summary -
1. No pain no gain (Sign up for painful things, have accountability)
2. Focus on one thing. Tips to achieve this
2.1 Input based goals(Ex: work 10 min on script)
2.2 Eat the frog(Indulge in the one thing first thing in the morning)
3. Just show up(set the bar low to avoid failure)
4. Keep score. Track progress to
4.1 measure how far you've come from the beginning
4.2 Clarity/proof of having made progress.
5. Memento Mori: Remember that you are going to die. Avoid being regretful in the end.
6. Get out of your head(Do two push ups and take a cold shower - rejuvinate yourself when feeling low)
7. Stop using social media
Caution: lookout for signs of burnout.
Thankyou so much for this , I need the summary but felt too lazy to do so either way you saved me so thankyouuu and ofcourse a big thanks you tina for telling us all this in the first place
I logged out of my instagram.and this helped me. Soo much to stay focused and free up some me time
6.5 = Brilliant
Lovely :)
Thank u srinath
Girl me too! I straight up spent 2 years of my life eating snacks in bed and watching anime, but now I'm finishing up my last courses in linguistics and going into a double major for computer science.
For anyone who's interested I recommend listening to the podcast episode called You, But Better on Hidden Brain. Behavioral scientist Katy Milkman goes over various of ways to set up your weaknesses against yourself so you stay motivated
Hee! I do a double bachelor linguistics + compsci too! I do also work fulltime. It’s really more about discipline than motivation, I guess! If you do what challenges you or makes you feel good about yourself then the motivation isn’t really necessary but the discipline to go and do it, is a whole different thing.
Thanks for the recommendation! Definitely will listen to it 😉
RANDOM QUESTION : Is computer science hard?
@@divyakunwar5667 It depends on what topic youre doing in computer science but in general it isnt all too difficult. I took computer science I and II in highschool and it was for the most part easy tbh. But of course, high school is much different compared to actually having a job containing computer science.
@@divyakunwar5667 very.
I quit all social media (minus TH-cam, obviously LOL) end of December 2021. It’s been a huge game changer. I’m mindful of what I follow & watch. As well as how much time I spend on here. Still got a ways to go. But I’m proud of myself for how far I’ve gotten so far. Great video & tips! I’m going to give that book a read. :)
"Mind hacks to get my lazy ass to do things" 🙌🏼 Tina, if you write a book on this, I'll be the first in line to buy
but you're so productive already :O
That would be a nice title, i would buy it too lol
lmao luke i love how you support everyone here and there XD
How in the fresh hell did you get a job that required you to code without actually know how to code. That's heroic
Well I'm sure she knew the basics
@@almamater489 I saw once a job in Belgium, where they said that they were going to Pay a full salary, for a employee that did not know how to code, 0%, and they were going to teach everything, but also paying the Full salary at the same time.. that job and company became so famous that it appeared in the journal..
Maybe it was traineeship? I came across a lot of such opportunities specifically coding related. I think it is connected to the fact that there is a rising demand for developers, but little supply of professionals. (I live in the Netherlands)
She menioned it was in the area of bioinformatics, which is a field a lot of bio and biochemistry students go into without needing an "official" training in programming....even though it would be VERY helpful :D
She mentioned in another video that she didn't get payed in her first job, but it helped her to learn to code and get a good reference which she then used to get her second job where she got payed.
Embracing that we're all lazy slugs by default is freeing✨ When I was high school, I was motivated by FEAR but that disappeared after self-reflection and therapy. Without that fear driving me, I found it difficult to motivate myself. Now I create systems that support healthy habits. Now, life is easier & more productive :)
what systems have you created and how do they work?
I love how this video is so relatable to me and my life right now because I'm totally seeing myself put so much energy into distractions instead of getting shit done! I feel so lazy and worthless when this happens, but you acknowledge these moments in the video and simply seek out a way to improve the next day, while not letting that moment define you. I can't tell you how many times I've made a whole to do list that starts off waking up at 6am and not doing any of it. TwT
I feel you!
Ugh, I feel like you just described my life for the past couple of weeks😩 Still don't want to get uncomfortable to start work cuz Ik I'm far behind and my fear of failure doesn't really help bUT that's not gonna matter in the end, results are a reflection of your hard work so I'm starting now, today. Thank you for ur comment, it definitely made me feel seen and heard.
Sending you lots of positivity✨
@@abigailfrancis9242 Awwww it makes me happy that my thoughts were able to help you out in a similar situation!! It makes me feel like my feelings of laziness meant something because they at least helped you!!
I accept your positive vibes and send back even more!!!
Same! Just spend this day getting nothing done :(
@@abigailfrancis9242 yeahhh I'm doing the same
The "do just that one thing" helped me so much to starting the get out depression situation so many times, but was a pain to learn by myself. The "just show up" tip is always one of my final steps to become productive again after one crysis, again learning this my myself was also a pain. My tip for the first thing is don't let the thoughts that you only did that one thing today drown you.
In my second uni semester I made it a goal to at least attempt an assignment the day it was given, as I struggle with procrastination. The eat the frog first mentality made it much more manageable as even if i didn't know what to do, I now knew what I had to learn to complete the assignments. Hopefully this works out well for me
I like starting stuff as soon as its given but one sleepless night completely ruins me lol, that's why I start on stuff literally as soon as it was given, I mean flipping between the homework and current subject, spending half of my lunch break on an assignment etc.
Everyone is mentioning ADHD but I relate a lot to this as someone with depression, which can also cause executive dysfunction. Thanks for the video, it was actually very helpful (so many of these types of videos aren’t)!
For me focusing on 1 thing each day, just showing up, the idea that I would be disappointed to die knowing that my life was a joke (i.e. I wasted my life on nothing) pushes me to give 100% to want I want to learn/achieve and yes some days it feels really hard to focus so I need to "get out of my head" by cooking, taking a shower or listen to music.
Starting my day with the 1 thing I want to do removes great stress and puts me in an advantage.
Dear Tina, this is exactly what I need right now. I'm new to a 8 to 5 job and struggling to keep on studying data science. Thank you so much!
I kept this on my Watch Later for too long, and when I finally got over the “pain” and watched it, it turned out to be an extremely honest, relatable, and helpful video. Thanks!
Love your hacks, Tina!! Your videos are so relatable and practical in my life!!!!
Love these! I'm currently using a lot of them to keep myself on track, I've found the "one thing" and "just try" really helpful. I approach just try as "just effing do something" which I think is a Mark Manson thing (maybe), but it's been super helpful to get me through some stuff I was procrastinating hard on. I also like the hack of making something a part of your identify. I routinely tell myself "I'm a person who has discipline", then I go do the hard thing (workout, study, clean, whatever) over time it's slowly crept into being a part of who I see myself as, this tip was something I picked up from Struthless, another TH-camr, and it's worked wonders for me. Love this video, am definitely going to incorporate the "seeing who I could have been" tip in. I feel it'll be a killer motivator for some of the things I'm a bit fearful to pursue. Thanks for the amazing content 💜
Love this video so much. Super interesting to hear your experience changing your environment and learning in public to motivate yourself.
This is brilliant - I’m so grateful. You’re a great and honest woman and I appreciate it. Smash it sis x
The shower part is so true. For me, the heat in my body somehow keeps me comfortable AND sleepy that I become lazy. It's something I've been trying to fix by taking daily showers (which is ok since I live in a tropical country anyway). I still slip up sometimes but I'm doing so much better compared to back then.
recent college grad here & 2mins into the video I was already thinking “wow I wish I knew this 4 years ago” 😭😭 we’re all still learning tho!! thank u for these tips ❤️❤️
wow this video is so relatable. Thanks for making this !
I love your video essays: they’re very structured and helpful.
This is gold. Thank you Tina!!
this helps a lot, thank you!
Thanks a lot for this video , keep up the good work ❤
Thanks for making this video. So helpful. And you are NOT alone. Also I love how you keep the sponsor till near the end. Thanks
Great video, thank you so much❤️
This video has helped me so much. Probably more than any other productivity video I've seen because it's so realistic. Its relieving to know I'm not the only one who has struggled with this before
I tend to succumb to the laziness quite often due to stressors and feeling constantly overwhelmed. Thanks for the tips.
On my good days, I tend to try some of these:
Focus on one thing, Eat the frog and Just show up. I have found that just showing up, even on my bad/emotional days makes me more motivated to do something. Just getting up, putting in the effort to look decent and rocking up to work helped. Since I'm already there, might as well do something, you know. And that something must be done in the morning while I'm still feeling motivated. And if I can do 1 thing, I've accomplished something rather than nothing. I am interested in trying the Input based goals. I often find that I have all the intention and think about things I want to do, but I seriously lack in the execution. I start things I never finish, I plan things I never get around to doing. Making it seem small and hopefully effortless might spur that motivation back, if only temporarily but hopefully long enough to get something done!
The dying thing sounds scary, but that fear can hopefully motivate me as much as my fear of failure does haha (the irony >_
First of all, that first sentence is so relatable. Also, I got the “eat the frog” reference 😁
AMAZING video ! thank you so much for sharing. Too many times i have seen videos about productivity and how to get into a flow, however they start to explain what productivity is and how it's helpful. I love how your video breaks down examples and helpful "how to's". Smooth vibe very informative.
Really liked this. Thank you.
Hi Tina!
I find myself in the same cycle. Utter Avoidance of Life -> Growing Self-Hatred -> Burst of Activity to Hopefully this Time Achieve Cyclical Escape Velocity -> Utter Avoidance of Life.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have the book actually, and set it aside several avoidance cycles ago. Feeling motivated to pick it up again
I can totally relate to this video , feeling grateful it showed up in my feed.
Another one thing I want to add is
“You are just one decision away from a completely different life”
The one decision maybe as simple as waking up from bed(it’s not easy for me though) act upon one decesion at a time.
So real. Thanks . this was reflective.
Loved the background omg!!!!
Hai Tina thank you for sharing this! it helps a lot
I agree! Creating an environment that motivates you is a key for you to live full out.
One of the most practical and useful videos I've watched in youtube thank youq
Thank you for this video. I 100% relate you how you felt about “default days” and making a rigid schedule that, if I can’t keep up with, I abandon and give up for the day. Thank you for these tips!!
lovely video, so fresh. thank you for sharing your story
So inspiring! Thank you Tina ☺️
omg ily tysmm it inspired me a lot to get out of my study slump 🥺✨ keep up the great work!! 💕
Quality! I didn't know your channel before seeing this video on my suggestions and now I feel I've found my spirit guide. I'm hitting subscribe NOW.
I really needed this video. Thank you, Tina
i love your videos!!
Great video! Thank you for all the tips!
Hey Tina! This is not a diagnosis or anything, but what you do sounds a lot like me and I just got diagnosed with ADHD (the inattentive type) a couple of months ago at 36 years old. I suggest that you try to check with an expert on this because if it's true, calling yourself lazy is just hurting you.
By the way, the reason why women in average are just diagnosed between 36 and 39 years old is because:
1. We're not usually the hyperactive type, but we can be hyperactive with our minds or speech
2. ADHD is genetic, so we grow with other family members who did things like we do so we think it's normal (i.e. in my family, arriving 1h late to a dinner is normal)
3. We learn a ton of techniques to help us function (like the ones you mentioned here which worked for me until they stopped working again), but we still do a ton of effort to be able to manage our personal and professional while wanting to be good family members, friends and partner(s), but after so much effort, it's in the mid thirties that we just can't do it anymore. It's such a big effort and we just end up super anxious or depressed (that we later find out it's low dopamine from ADHD).
Before I wrap up, I want to say that ADHD has the poorest name ever, we don't have attention deficit. We have an attention dysregulation, because when deadlines hit or for any other reason like gamification, we go into hyperfocus and do stuff way faster than anyone else. Or we hyperfocus on things that we love and learn a ton of stuff. I suggest you check Connor DeWolfe Tik Tok or How To ADHD to see if you can relate. 🙏
ADHD is the greatest excuse and fake disease ever created by man
@@d.jmamba7237 are you a trained mental health professional or perhaps, a neuroscientist?
Thank you for making this video! I identify with every struggle!❤️
Thank you for the vídeo!
Thank you for the tips! Your experience feels very relatable to me... Especially, when every second video on productivity and procrastination gives the same types of tips, which never works for me and makes me feel like a failure (like fake deadlines one). I am glad TH-cam sent me this video 🥰
thank you for the video ❤
Wow, I really loved every second of this video. Those are the mistakes I usually make, which make me fall behind my schedule. These are great tips and in addition, having some rewards like watching an episode of a series I love for each hour of study is so helpful for someone like me who cant push me to study for more than 2-3 hours a day.
Anyways, thank you for the good tips!
That's was great! TFS 🌻
i appreciate you so much, you gave a lot of valuable advice!! you inspire me
OMG! I just got that book! Thanks so much for the video
Thank you so much for this! An actual helpful and manageable/realistic tips for me!
I deleted FB off of my phone. I was spending way too much time on it when I could have used it for studying or other positive ways to advance myself. With my agenda/planner, I only limit it to importance and no longer adding everything that needs to be done that day because I got so overwhelmed.
Thank you!💫💫
Thank you for the video
Thank you so much for sharing your process with us! It makes me feel like I'm not alone
The focus on one thing part is something I've been doing without realizing it
Sometimes I sacrifice working out to work on TH-cam videos
This video is just woow . These all steps are so practical. My brain has started to think in a new way . Thank you Tina ❤️
For me what keeps me on track with repetitive things like working out, studying languages is to have unclear deadlines - when you have to be ready at any possible given moment to do the thing, you can't procrastinate studying/practicing the thing.
really needed this, thanks
omg, you probably just saved my life right there. I always feel like all those efficient people are just energetic by their nature
WOW! I loved the tips! It's like you covered everything that can help produce productivity in one video!
this videos was really helpful, the tips about doing a little things at first really are important because that really just sets the path to do what you need to do
So relatable thank you for saying it as it is
Thank you!! It really works!!!!
Thank you so much! Badly needed this
Bless you I needed this .
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed it.
Thank you Tina for making this video. I really have to work my ass off to study and finish my thesis.
You're dropping gems! 👌🏽 thank you! 👏🏽
This was super relatable to me, thank you!!
Awesome thank you. I so need this in my life
This was very helpful, thank you!
Love the content! Looking forward for more things :)
I read this book because of you and I'm doing much better these days, thanks!
Thanks. I will try it out.
Hey Tina Huang ! I'm far to be in date sciences like you, even if it seems a very interesting field. But i can totally relate to your experience. Which is, i think, very common among professors or engineers. I.e. not being able to do things without clear constraints, while being hyperproductive sometimes. And you even quoted Thomas Franck. What a great reference ! I didn't know he gave this kind of advice.
Thx for your channel ! Bye !
Great video!
ILY! 😍 Thank you for telling me what I already know but don't want to believe because I said it!
very nice and useful video. thank you.
So relatable. AmAzing.
This is nice tips!
My strategy sometimes is to use a stopwatch and start with a 5 minute break. After that 5 minute break, I have to do work for 10 minutes, followed by another 5 minute break, until I can get up to 15 minutes or just a general rhythm.
I really don't like missing any of your videos, really great content 👍
very helpful tips, thanks!
Thank you so much. I love your honesty and your story helps me readdress my lazy tendencies.
I usually can't relate to the pretty much most of the other content on the same topic, but I found what you presented really clicked' with me. Especially the part about the "fake" deadlines not working, and genuinely putting yourself in a situation where the things just need to be done. Also, the no social media and news thing also makes a lot of sense. Thanks! I rarely subscribe to youtube channels, and most definitely not after watching just one video
I am so grateful for you!!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us ❤️
Great video, so much insight in this one
Excellent! I love that you're honest that it's not easy, like some people want it to be. Focusing on 1 thing at a time, I think is the key (we are not machines). Thx.
Number 1, 7 hack are really great! Thanks Tina! ☺️
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! Memento Mori is my personal phrase to go out a do stuff!
I am so, so glad I found you!! I am the exact same way as you. My default is lie in bed watching sitcoms. But I need to get things done. Will be implementing a few of the suggestions for sure!!
Enjoy your videos. Love your plants! Thanks.
great video!
