- Hi, friend! My name is Han, and I am an engineering graduate from Columbia University. In this video, I discuss the negative effects of boredom as an academic emotion on our school and learning experience. I share two research papers that explore ways to reduce boredom while studying, aiming to improve the studying experience and achieve better grades. I understand the challenges that come with boredom in a school setting, so I hope this video can be motivating and helpful if you are currently struggling:)

I think the secret to having fun while studying is to find the perfect balance between intrinsic and external motivation. Rewards like a nice environment, a drink, having peers to study with, fun plans after, wanting to get good marks for a certain future helps one finish work. And factors like having a genuine interest in the subject, watching yourself improve slowly helps actually like what you’re doing. With both you will definitely enjoy studying!
Exactly! It sounds stupid but ever since I started going to my local cafe and grabbing a nice drink to have while studying, then doing something I was looking forward to after finishing really set up a healthy reward/dopamine system. Its crazy how much intrinsic motivations, like a nice studying conditions, can change your mindset completely
thanks, literally studying organic chemistry right now and getting bored of the mechanisms
You got this!
Best of luck with the studying. Hope you pass
Omg same
omg sameee
omg same i literally clicked on this vid bc of ochem 😭😭
GOT YOUR POINT! for me it's like gaslighting myself like I find this subject so interesting and fascinating how things turn out to be the way they are and it worked sometimes but sometimes, I need my cognitive approach to improve
Or restructure modern education to be engaging without mind games
Omg this needs to become a TED talk immediately!
yes! 🙌

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.

They are the reason for evolution and invention as well .
Pain
Boredom
Jealousy
Sadness
Anger
PAIN MAKES YOU STRONG . BOREDOM MAKES YOU CREATIVE
I was lucky to find an activity that actually helps me to stay focused when the lecture is too slow/ too easy - drawing. I can still hear the teacher, but since I have something to focus on I am overall more concentrated and I don't start to daydream, which is otherwise super hard for me. And plus I'm feeling like I'm not wasting time but that I'm actually learning something and getting better at something while staying in touch with the subject.
Literally did that today. Not on purpose though, my first class was a rather boring, useless one (i mean it when i say it’s useless). And i had a deadline today, one of the things i still needed to do is to make a drawing of one of my designs. So i just drew during the class, the teacher never stopped me, even though they didn’t know about the deadline. And it was glaringly obvious btw, we draw on A3 paper. I both got all of my stuff done for the deadline (somehow) and i actually participated and listened. Usually i just get pissy and bored
Great video! I often find myself falling victim of the trap of assuming my upcoming study/review sessions will be boring before it even begins, even though I am fascinated by and adore most areas within mathematics and physics. And as someone who is pursuing higher-level-studies, that is certainly not sustainable. Thank you for presenting some of the important insights that can be gathered from these studies, and showing how it can be applied in pursuing academics!
Will be checking out those papers in the description! That's super interesting that the expectation can influence the outcome in such a way! Thank you for sharing
thankyou so much Han !!!
now I am pretty sure that I can overcome my boredom on my weak topics and subjects !!
It was really an effective advice!!!
hey you are one who really and genuinely give advise and that advice is literally the unforgettable one.....i just want to say thank you and may god bless you with best things as we know that the best deserves the best.....🙂😊
love from INDIA
Han!
It’s so kind of you make such a lovely video!🫶🏼
🌟🌟SOO HELPFUL🌟🌟
Hope you are keep going making a lot of videos🫶🏼

What's helped me stay alert and not bored has been doing periodic mindfulness meditations between studying or throughout the day, even if for 5 minutes. It helps to escape the expectations and worries. I use books like 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels, has nice mindfulness meditations in it.
I haven't had any fun lately, 😭 You bring me joy!❤🙂I love the kind and generous heartwarming atmosphere that you create, your kind, easygoing, warm vibe. ❤I like the essence how you live on. I need to be true to myself and find a job I am passionate about. I want to find a way to live as who I really am.
Your videos motivate me. I didnt like maths at all before watching your videos and you changed my mind. Thank you, i love u😊
Same
This is an interesting approach. I always put off studying German grammar because I think of it as boring, but I’ve reached a point where I really need to learn it. I’ll try to get excited about it next time!
thank you for sharing it is such a wonderful and helpful video. I will try to remember all these.
Starting a new year in a new school this year gonna study hard this time and use all your strategies! These are very very useful for me thankyou Han! ❤
arrived exactly when i needed help (i was doing calculus) . Thanks a lot!!!mam
Oh that's why the title of the video is titled like that,
I actually thought the video was more interesting and helpful thank you ❤
Ur tips are really so great for me!
Thank you so much sister ! I always used to feel so bored of studies and especially Physics and Chemistry. I never knew why I feel like that. After watching this video, I finally understood the problem. Well I will take this suggestion seriously and take Physics and Chemistry in a cognitive approach and start taking study as fun and interactive.
Thank you so much for your help!!!!!!!!!!!! We got this guys!!!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
This is so true! I found math interesting from a young age hence I didn't feel bored and I got good grades as well.
There was also a girl in my class who felt math was boring so she got 10/100 in a test but later on, she felt she should believe math is interesting and now she gets Bs or Cs
This has helped me soo much to understand Vectors in physics. I am understanding all the topics in physics with this method
Thanks a lot., and keep it up
This was really interesting and I’m interested to try these methods! Thank you!
A video on how to cope up with syllabus and hobbies please btw a nice video❤❤
Love this - the mere expectation of something being boring to us sets us up for a 10 times more boring experience than it actually is. Reframe your mindset - every subject is your new fave (even if it isn’t actually your fave, even if it’s boring). That way your brain finds ways to make it fun. 🎉
Thank you very much for your inspiring videos Han!
Studying isnt boring. its painful sometimes
Great video! Thanks❤
Thanks , i sleep idk how many times while studying inorganic chemistry... and i was finding a way to not feel sleepy 😬
Just wanted to drop by and say, what a genuinely phenomenal thumbnail! Incredible job 💪💪
I haven't heard this much "boring" Ever in my life😂
How did you know I wasn’t studying?
Thank you so much 😊
I really like this video and i think this technique will help me a lot in my coming exams . BTW you're super cute
Thank you!!
The only videos i watch till the end on youtube are yours Han😩😇
😭❤️
Can we get a “study with me ambients”? I want to imagine I’m being judged for not studying hard enough without having to leave my studio
This so helpful thank you! The ig nobel prize reminds me of the book what if ahaha....I had a teacher similar to you in my first year at uni as well, but instead of talking fast he spoke soo slowly so our two hour lecture would be more of a two and a half or three! Was so annoying but now I will try and use this when i have his lectures as I still have them in yr 2 ahah
Thank you❤
the secret is not to be a perfectionist and rather look at things from a bigger pictur. focus on things that actually matter
My classmates and I had the same problem with history class because the teacher was soo boring she just kept talking and talking and never made the class interactive. But I used the cognitive approach(did not know it was a thing and I was already implementing it before watching the video!) and it was sooo helpful that everyone else was found sleeping and I was the only one answering her questions and getting a 25 on 25 in the test. btw sharing this video to al my comrades! thanks gurl!
I’m those kind of rare group of students. This video is so true 😊
Actually, That's true, I believe in all your words. But as for me, I feel that change the environment (school for example) can help because They could agree with your feelings, change your mindset though. I think that`s all I wanted to say.
i was thinking of the same just now i always get bored after studying 2-3 topicss
I used to get absolutely bored by just thinking about The Electricity and Magnetism but then I saw a question which sparked my curiosity and that curiosity lead to another question and this Chain reaction sort of thing starts For a subject like Physics Curiosity drives me but then there was a problem doing Chemistry probably Organic Chemistry so for that one mindset I had was that running from it would not help me rather I should face it Then I divided the subject into sub topics and I found out it wasn't that bad at the end if the day!
Hah . 🙃🙂🙃Big sis Your videos are always best🥇. I Love it❤. It is very helpfull . Thankyou! . Keep making such great videos
INDIA🇮🇳
I used to watch olivers adventures cartoon when i was very young and later i watched it again. Oliver was thinking math was boring. And so was i. I think that cartoon really effected people. Now i think maths isn't that hard to understand
The reason to stop looking instagram posts that sometimes show us people telling the subjects are boring and thats the reason why people don't understand. People expect everything to be very easy. So when it doesn't coherence with their expectation they say that the subject is boring
Lovely ❤❤
Geography has been so boring for me for years and i always do so bad in my geography class whereas in math ive always loved it and ive always done well and never really felt bored in the class
Its amazing and useful how your videos are,I'm gonna try to put it on practice.
I so love your fluffy voluminous hair. Can I ask if you permed it to get this effect or is it natural?
the maths part was actually about me
I love sic I’m trying to love the rest of my subjects 😂
0:13 i dont have any friends in my class nor a best friend, but it's the end of the year. Maybe next year ill find someone
What do you do when you sit down and study
any tips
I used to like math but now everyday, after or during my pre calculus class I start crying in the bathroom because I keep saying to my teacher “I didn’t understand” and I feel so inferior, he explains it to me but sometimes I still can’t understand. And it’s hard because I like pre calculus and I like my teacher too but he gets so annoyed when I can’t follow him.
Ok so think the math class is not boring before attending the class rethink situation and see the future and mindset
Got it
👍🏻
love from India 🇮🇳
I feel burned out not bored 😭 what do i doooo 😩😮💨
Hi han,
I'm newbie here. Hi!
the secret is not to overcomplicate and get bogged down with the details
❤❤
Why am im watching this it about to me the end of the year
Yea, if im walking backwards i cant see anything behind me which helps me to not trip and spill my coffee. Thank you.
Resumo pros brasileiros: ta tudo no mindset, é só querer☝️🤓 Brincadeiras a parte, eu gostei muito do vídeo e acho q pode ser muito útil pra muitas pessoas (inclusive eu)
man chemistry feels so boring what should i do i just cant get it or i cant make myself to study it
I am only watching your video, beacuse you look pretty 😅
For me the best way to get not get Bored in mathematics lecture is to ask some classmate to just solve the Questions with You and Find Out Who Solves it Faster absolutely the same question that the Teacher is explaining and when Teacher is taking too much Time we Just Start Discussing about any other subject and when He Starts explaining again then we get to the question again.
well thanks this video was really boring for me even though i expected it to be fun.
does anyone know the song she uses at 1:57?
❤❤❤
Learning I see fun it’s just a way we don’t understand how
Always remember
You’re the one controlling your brain not the brain controlling you
Suppose today you say this subject is so boring I don’t like then your brain will function that what you think your brain function it tell that I love learning with out negative thought you can do it you know teachers leacture are interesting if you try to understand
My mind races sometimes when I study hard subjects and right now I have no motivation to study. 😅😂
i just feel "i signed up for this" i simply dont care enough about it then to be bored
I am scared of studying

If I asked my math teacher for a video ar an example I wouldn’t hear the end of it
you look like Itzy's lia🤩
❤from India
So, if I'm. bored it's my fault and I should just stop being bored.
❣❣❣💖
hi, just checking up on you
I wanna cry rn 😭 I have 3 tests tomorrow, all mathematical (java, chem, geometry)
I’m ok with chem (it is so easy)
But java and geometry sucks. I feel like geo ain’t math. Like “proofs”, they are literally reading and writing. In java, it is complicated. A weird class I would say.
omg you kind of remind me of Zhao Lusi (Rosy Zhao)
I have watched bored video thn this and this was more interesting than that😂 by the way my teacher is also same😂
early gang
❤️
all that i learnt from this video is: its all in your head
i found your accent cute and you are cute too .
idk man voices in my head r getting super loud
you and math have a lot in common, both of you keep me distracted from life.
If you are reading this comment, pls dont video's with facecams 😅😅.....That distracts me a lot 😭
tl;dr free will doesn’t exist
The math class and material should restructure to attract more people that’s all. You push all responsibilities to students ,how can one really learn and understand becoz they some how think it’s “important “ since the grade is social status ? I don’t see any deeper thinking in your content . Playing mental trick is superficial
The easy answer that people shrivel at cuz they're afraid the system won't allow for reasons that make no sense to us. And theyre right to be afraid because the system is insecure and fears internal change
boring boring boring. just kidding. I mean if you don't like something. keep it could be difficult. you should just follow your heart and intuition. there is really no need to focus you self to love what the f teacher is trying to taught you. it is a self protection system to prevent you from wasting time and energy on these stuff that doesn't deserve your attention.
Okie, This is for you,Read this message until the end, it’s adorable. I sent an angel to watch over you last night, but it came back. When I asked “why?” the angel said “Angels don’t watch over angels”. Twenty angels are in your world. Ten of them are sleeping, nine of them are playing,and one is reading this message. God has seen you struggling with some things, and God says “it’s over.” A blessing is coming your way. If you believe in God, send this to fourteen friends,including me. If I don’t get it back,I guess I’m not one of them. As soon as you get five replies, someone you love will quietly surprise you... Not joking. Pass this message on. Please don’t ignore it. You are being tested and god is going to fix two big things tonight in your favour. If you believe in God, drop everything and pass it on. TOMORROW Will Be The Best Day Of Your Life. DON’T BREAK THIS CHAIN. SEND IT TO FOURTEEN FRIENDS IN TEN MINUTES IT’S NOT THAT HARD. NO GROUP CHATS. (I have no idea why i am doing this)
Why can't you just get straight to the point instead if telling information which we will never use 😑
This video bores me too.vಥ‿ಥ
