    I love romanticizing studying because, in my mind, I'm imagining myself as this dedicated and enthusiastic scholar that will never give up despite the odds and I want to make it a reality rather than just a dream.

    1. CHANGE THE NARRATIVE: THE WAY YOU LOOK UPTO STUDYING
    2. ROMANTISIZE STUDYING: MAKE STUDYING FUN
    3. DONT THINK JUST DO: JUST GET STARTED, TO-DO LIST(BREAK DOWN TASKS AND START EASY), ROUTINE
    4. TAKING A BREAK IS PRODUCTIVE: WALK,SHOWER,MEDITATE. YOU'LL BE REFRESHED
    5. SELF-REFLECT: ASK YOURSELF WHY YOURE DOING THIS? LET IT(FEAR) DRIVE YOU

      If you find it hard to memorise, maybe write the points down in a different colour pen/highlight them or make mnemonics, it'll be easier to remember when you have to recall it. Eg. "Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane" goes to "Monkeys Eat Purple Berries" goes to "MEPB". "Moneys Eat Purple Berries" will be easy to remember in an exam, then you just match it to "Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane"

    Honestly, I was feeling so down and exhausted mentally because of the pressure I had to take in especially with academics. it's been days since I stopped being productive and just procrastinate. basically, unmotivated. but your words inspired me to pull myself together back on track because I have a dream. that I still have a lot of works to do. your words are what i really need this time. With that, thank you so much for your inspiring words! Fellow students should really help one another and I salute you for this. I'm new to your channel btw and now, I'm a fan.

    When you started to say how resilient students are I started to cry because I've been so hard on myself recently. It's expected from college students to work / study / intern / and be on top of everything, but it is not easy. I recently have gone back to school full time, started a new job, and got an internship which I'm so grateful for, but I pressure myself so much to do things the "right way" or I stress I'm doing something wrong. That reminded me that I am working hard and I don't need to be perfect to continue my success. Thankyou

    I was 3:33 seconds in when I realized how grateful I am to have bumped into your video! I always try to encourage myself as much as possible (like the optimist that I am) but sometimes I just get lost in the funk and everything just feels so overwhelming because there are so many external expectations - besides the expectations that I already have for myself. Then anxiety starts to creep in baby - like it do and I fall apart a little bit. I struggle with being attentive for long periods but I find that when I am, I always has an extra bit of knowledge that I had not had before studying. It's going to be challenging but you never stop trying, is what I tell myself. Anyway, long story short, thank you!
    Also, any tips for managing time effectively to ensure that I'm efficient in my studying? I tend to stay on one topic for a long time and then lose track of time. I'm also a perfectionist so...HA! Its bad.

    I really needed this! I’ve been self sabotaging for the past three weeks even though I only have one exam left and it’s the most important one. For some reason I’m scared of trying. It’s like I’m telling myself that if I dont try it’s not a big deal to fail… so I’m ruining all the hard work I’ve done this year… I’m going to stop letting the self hate dig me deeper and focus on my weak points to get through this exam!

    By far THE BEST motivation video for students! I could relate with you and feel that you do understand what is to be a student and all that pressure we and our university/professors/family put on us which was incredible because the most common thing we have on TH-cam is motivational videos were people say "Just Do It" and don't explain to us, HOW can we do it? How can we make this process more enjoyable and consistent? Anyway, you did great! Definitely won a subscriber because of your compassion and really human friendly advices. Thank you very much!!

At school i will make at the classes projects, improving and working on my real work projects, so i think that will motivate me even more, when i know what i want to do and make from school classes :)

    Hi Nathan, thank you for these tips. I am currently a P2 on the block schedule system and I just got out of my final exam for my renal block. I feel like I didn't do as well as I should have. My study habit is an issue and I have been struggling for years to fix it. I find myself coming back home after the long drive from school and just plopping down and watching TH-cam videos and doing other things all day instead of dedicating time to studying. I tend to be nonchalant about preparing early and I cram for all my exams, which is such a bad habit that I want to break already. I'm going to follow your tips and put an effort into studying more for my next block, like staying at school for a few hours before driving. That last tip is also such an important one! I have to find my spark again and remember my reason for being a pharmacist.

    Something that I learnt when I finally started studying, what works for me is
    1. Making an immediate planner and following it without thinking much. Just taking the required action.
    2. Noting down all the ideas and thoughts that come to my distracted mind on my diary to remember them later and research about them after completing my work.
    3. Having the clear idea of my reward and my reward must really be something that I'm desperate to achieve. Such as becoming an excellent engineer. So, if I study Physics, I keep that in mind to really know the reason of studying it in-depth and even know the sweet results of my hardwork now.
