The first thing you need to consider is a simple equation. Work accomplished equals time spent multiplied by the intensity of focus. If you watched last week's video on how to build the perfect study routine, then you've already been acquainted with the concept that studying in short bursts of time in a regular pattern is more important to your information retention than trying to compensate long periods procrastinating, with study sessions that last hours.
Effective time management can be achieved in five minutes a day, in a system comprised of a calendar, where you should schedule specific-time events, and a list which you should carry with you at all times. The idea is using five minutes each morning to write down the list of tasks you have to complete that day and go through the reminders of yesterday to update your calendar each morning. In that way, you create a self-sustaining time management system that relies on simple tools. Basically, as you plan your day, your page or piece of paper should be divided into two columns - a list for your "today's" schedule" and a list for "things to remember". Today's schedule should be filled with dedicated time slots assigned for specific classes or tasks. "Things to remember" should be a place where you write down new assignments and tasks that are created during that day and which you need to migrate into your calendar the following morning during your daily five minutes of time management.
The type of tools you use to achieve this system should take into account your preferences and lifestyle; you can either go digital or analogue, opt for a more complex planner or a simple piece of paper folded in your pocket. While scheduling tasks during the day you should take into account its priority in your overall list. Most important tasks should be tackled first, in case they're not time-specific, and less important tasks should be tackled last. If something goes wrong for those less important tasks, you can always migrate them to a later time. Besides that simple hierarchy of importance, it's also crucial to leave enough buffer time in each one of your time slots to anticipate mistakes or delays.
Even if you excel at time management habits, beating procrastination is still key to allow you to actually *do the stuff.*The book discusses five main strategies that can help you with this:
- 1 - keeping a work progress journal, where you record what you worked on or whether you were able to complete all the required tasks. It's basically a habit tracker for your work that relies on a streak method to keep you motivated.
- 2 - eating the right food and correct amount of water to boost your levels of energy and focus
- 3 - making an event out of worst tasks, which means that you can go to a different place to study, breaking your routine and creating a sense of novelty. It also allows you to block some time in your calendar, since you're going to a different, probably more distant place.
- 4 - building a routine for daily studying by deciding in which days you will work on specific subjects or topics, at what times and for how long. As work starts transforming into a habit, it will be easier to convince yourself to start studying.
- 5 - choosing the hard days. This means that when all hell breaks loose, designating a couple of days as "hard days" will isolate time of high intensity work from other regular work. A couple of tips for scheduling hard days is informing your close friends that you will be going through a hard study period as well as scheduling entertaining or relaxing activities right after you finish all of your work.
Furthermore, straight A students know when, where and how long they should be studying. Giving a solid answer to these three questions and sticking with them for a long period of time will improve your study routine, and the more consistent your study routine is, the better your results will be. While Cal Newport uses many top scoring students' feedback to say that early morning is the best time to study, I prefer to recommend you whatever schedule your energy levels are at the highest point, be at night, morning or afternoon.

Am i the only person that binges back to school videos?
No. Same here.
sparkle sky 41 pre school : binge watching back to school videos, waiting for school start
After first exam time : heavy mental breakdown, thinking of quitting school
Nou!
Nope
You gotta hate yourself to binge watch studying videos-
The difference between straight A students and failing students (from a straight A student’s perspective). When a straight A student says “I haven’t studied for this test”, they mean - I haven’t done any specific revision for this test but I study everything on a regular basis anyway. When a failing student says “I haven’t studied for this test” they mean they haven’t even thought about the material that might come up.
true and its kinda sad knowing that even though they would have high grades, they would overall be disappointed of their score because "they havent studied".
btw i am just in between the failing and straight As
Wow it's true! As a fellow straight A student, I hadn't really even thought about it this way!
Erin Murray Finally someone said it. When i said I haven’t studied and still got an A people always thought i lied so people won’t copy from me
When my sister gets straight A’s and says she doesn’t study, she really hasn’t studied. I don’t think she even thinks about the information twice. I don’t understand how that’s even possible!!
Fr fr, when a straigh A student says they haven't studied, THEY HAVE STUDIED
It's a little hard when your teacher doesn't teach and also insists on creating her own tests that don't correspond with the book.
(this is just me being annoyed. I liked the video)
bro that was my biology teacher last year :(
My teacher made his own book, but used the general tests.. so we had to understand stuff from a book we didn’t have and our book that was written by him didn’t help us at all! And the teacher didn’t want to help us, because “it’s all in the book”
Agreed
Norris Productions my math teacher literally doesn’t teach and is so all over the place. I’m trying to switch classes because I don’t want to set myself up to fail.
@@rosemari1804 That's so bad. Good luck with switching.

In my honors class I've realized there are 3 types of people.
1. People who are naturally smart and dont do any extra work. I realized that they soon slack of because they become lazy and there grades also drop even though they are "gifted"
2. The people who are "smart" because of there hard work. People who aren't naturally "gifted" . endless study sessions, all nighters. It really isnt healthy and i realized that healthier habits like sleeping longer and eating better help.
3. Naturally smart and hardworking. Personally think they have a great balance. Also they typically arent vain or show off about things anx are eager to learn more.
Trust me im no expert i guess I'm just giving my 2 cents
I also think that students who are smart and hardworking have a great balance.I've seen a lot of students like that but I don't think they have a 'healthy' mindset.If they fail at something not very important, they go crazy over that little thing , meanwhile people who are not gifted but they work hard enough , have more of an healthy mindest because they know thet failing at something or making mistakes is the process of learning so they are able to get up and work harder, while for the 3d type ,it's harder

I am a very intelligent person.
The teachers tell me that.
But I am lazy .
Yes i can relate to nr 1
@@ertugrulgazi389 same bro... what should we do:(
Haley Plummer I’m 2 lol, I have to study for like 5 hours to get 100/ 99
I secured an A in my summer uni class and have been getting better every semester with large help due to this channel, I can’t wait to start the new semester next week with a great set of habits and the discipline and motivation to do my best!
*I want to be minimal and straight A student like you!*
🙏
As someone who was a straight A student with one B+ in high school:
I didn’t do any of this and rather procrastinated and used that stress and pressure to ball out on studying last minute.
Daniel Iles - Small Business facts
what works in high school wont necessarily work in college
Came into university with the same mentality and I hope it works for you bc for me it went downhill lol
same here! i graduated high school with straight A’s in every subject by procrastinating and leaving everything till the last minute because i work best under pressure
that never works in college my dude
The way you hold your pen is legendary
im going to be a 3rd year student in college this year. im starting a new major which makes me feel like i am getting a brand new start to implement more efficient note taking, studying, organization, etc.
i “wasted” my first two years of college struggling to pass every class i took. i was in a major that interested me, but i wasn’t very good at it. i always assumed that if you like something, you’ll automatically be good at it and will succeed. this is definitely not the case, which unfortunately took me half of my college years to learn.
thank you for these videos! they are actually practical, make sense, and easy to implement. :)
SAME, I’m a 3rd year going into sociology but really wanna do environmental science but math and science will tank my grades. I struggled through classes too because i was trying to find what i was good at and not actually paying attention to stuff but we got two more years to excel , good luck!
I love how detailed your videos and description boxes always are😍 you put so much thought and effort into your videos and they really help me to be more organized, productive and a better student in general✨☺️ thank you so much for sharing all your tips with us🧡💫
Wonderful tips! Splitting the work into small tasks really helps to keep the energy flowing, to be more motivated to carry on every day:)
You're literally the ONLY person who makes videos that are REALISTIC and WELL EXPLAINED. I'm so happy that you make these videos!! :) Thanks
Thanks so much!!! I love these types of back to school videos because they help and motivate me so much. Please continue making this back to school series 💕
Oh. My God. That Latin textbook just reminded me of all the declensions. I am stressed. But the textbook is so iconic at my school, so glad to see other people using one.
Thank you Mariana! You always have perfect timing. I start school on Monday 🙏
Omggg the ring!! Congratulations!!
OMG! I was needing this so much!! I'm working and I fall behind all the time ;-; thanks! I hope the Cal Newport books soon in my country
I just found your page a week ago and i have been binging your vids. love you and this vid. thank you :)
You are one of my favorite you tuber thanks for everything you do for us you explain every thing perfectly and I become more focused after watching your videos
I love love loveee your channel! Don't have enough words! Thank you so much. Please keep the videos coming as your videos really motivate me and many others to study, specially when one is demotivated or lazy. There's something about your videos that motivates me to get up and study and somehow even clean my space and make it more beautiful. Lol. Your videos are so calming yet motivating.
This is perfect!! I'm starting college on Monday. Thanks
I really LOVE your content. ♥️ They motivate me so much!! Thanks for helping others around the world! Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
I'm literally obsessing over your whole channel
Love the video! I would love a video that discusses studying and being productive while working at the same time, cause time management is quite difficult for me. Usually the thing that i don't have time for is selfcare and/or relaxation.. 😓
Soon ;)
From this video, I learned a lot of things.... Thanks Mariana...
Why am I here? I start school in a month! Oh yeah, I remembered. I just love this channel!
Why am I here. I've already graduated!
Kato Torrrh Why am I here? I have a car, I’m financially stable making 6 figures! And I just moved in to a house!
It seems we all still need some emotional comfort. That's why we still watch this motivational videos for students, listen to advice we never used and will never use. Just to feel that vibe of self-organization and motivation, to go back in time to the period when everything was simple, the scariest thing was to get a bad grade or not to have enough time to get homework done.
Oh shit.
Ioana Zarova i know right ... i finished school
I love your back to school videos so much!!
This will definitely help many of us....the strategy and tips are hopeful...I really appreciate your content in your videos because you are helping thousands of us..no doubt..thank you.. waiting for your next special tip..😀👍

32yrs here. I’m mostly a B student but I want to be an A student in med school. Your video is amazing, I bought the book too. Thanks for sharing
Hey Mariana! Loved your video! Love ya thanks
Love the video! Super helpful!! ♥️
Hey, I just want to thank you for working hard for us and inspiring us. Stay blessed.
Can I have heart please ?😊
Thanks for the book recomandation. .. I wish I have read it earlier. .. it would have saved me alot of time and effort. ..
Can we also talk about how not everyone is made out to be a straight A student? I've always been really academic and good at studying, but getting a 100% is close to impossible in our Universities. As a future teacher, I honestly would love for students to realize that not everyone can achieve perfect scores no matter how much they study and not everyone has to. However, everyone can be a good student with these kinds of methods and enough discipline but doing your best is more than enough - no matter the results. I'm really intrigued about the book though so I think I'm gonna get it :D
It’s my freshman year and I already have been hearing I have a 4.0 killer professor :( they said his lectures have nothing to do with the exams even on ratemyprofessor wish me luck :/
OMG! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
I ❤ your videos. They are so helpful!
Love all of your videos
2:20 it's a great tip...really works!

Hi, fab videos : may I ask what camera and light setup do you use? Thanks in advance.
i’ve been a straight A student since third grade and honestly just study for a test about 3 days before it and do ur homework as soon as possible. ur all good. no need to be super organized and crazy studying without a social life. go out to parties and hangout with friends.
Thank you so much Mariana
Never been this early :) thanks for the motivation!
so in middle school during my 8th grade year, i had all A's. and no, this isn't some kind of gloating comment, but i wanted to share what i did somehow.
1. i barely did my homework in time. i would start my hw at like 8pm, and when i didn't understand, i would ask my friend for help, since she's better at those things than me. so yeah, i was a big procrastinator... i got all of my assignments and homework done no matter what, though. whether i'd make it up or finish it in school the next morning, i never missed an assignment. i think this is what kept my grades pretty steady.
2. i put most of my efforts in bigger assignments, like essays, tests, etc. those assignments were the ones that boosted my grade up the most, so i didn't really care that much about things like homework. i ended up scoring 80-95s on those assignments, and it boosted up my grade 6 points max. for example, in social studies, i used to have an 85 in the class. but i took my exit project VERY seriously and got a great score on it. it was out of 270 points btw, and since i got 240/270 on the project, my grade boosted up by 6 points and ended up getting a 91 for the term.
3. i didn't take that much effort into studying for tests. honestly, studying herder made me forget the questions a bit more, and i tend to work better basically reviewing the content about 3 times before putting everything away. i scored around the 80s-100s on my tests/quizzes, so for me, it's worth it.
and lastly, i had fun! believe it or not, having a lot of fun definitely helped me get my grades up. i thought that if i had a great time while at school, it could help me get over with bringing my grades up already, so i could fool around later on in the year. it definitely helped me achieve the grades i wanted.
yeah uh sorry for the long paragraph, but i thought i could share how i got to achieve my goals! good luck to anyone who is planning to go beyond their expectations for the incoming school year!
I love your way of explanation ♥️♥️
really liked this video. excelent tips. Well done
