oh man do i need this. i have zero motivation whatsoever. I have an essay due at 9am tomorrow, I've had literally weeks to do it in, i've been quarantined in my house since tuesday with absolutely nothing else to do but my uni work, and my dumb ass didn't start it until 11pm today.
I was having an awful day today, literally spent hours crying but I picked myself up by watching loads of your videos, thank you so much for being you ❤️
Maya Garg it’s good that you’ve expressed your emotions. I’m an examiner, a grown man and I had an emotional breakdown when I heard the exams were cancelled. I would recommend you stay positive as there is just too much negativity breeding around. I would suggest you remain productive in anyway that you can and do consider check out my vid on this: th-cam.com/video/QpcNd_i4_ao/w-d-xo.html peace ✌🏽
This is gas, I set up my desk this morning and popped on Optimal Focus as I normally would, straight away I was thinking "hang on, these aren't the usual songs", and noticed you had added some! Absolutely love the playlist I honestly listen to it everyday while I study. Thank you x
I've been living an anti-social life for 6 months. I got online coaching for the medical entrance exam I am preparing. Literally haven't been outta my house for these 6 months. So this seems very normal to me. Also, I don't have any friends. I just do whatever I do...And you people,(study tubers) and BTS are the only source of happiness or that kind of friendliness ...Keep making more videos Jack!! Love ya brother!!
I’ve just found that watching real time study with me videos in the background while I study has been super motivational since I can’t study at uni anymore! The “presence” of another focused person has been helping keep me on track so much. Also can confirm jack’s optimal focus playlist is so so good
I've never needed a video more than this! I'm in an international school so I do international A levels. After Boris' great announcement, I was so happy. Today I just found out that my exams are still going forward unless it is unsafe for my school to reopen. I've been in quarantine for two weeks already and I'm gonna go crazy, and now, I have 5 exams to prepare for.
I used your lo-fi playlist to work on my master's dissertation this evening and I got to study it's been a long time since I have been this productive in the evening! Thank you ! :D
Thanks lots for the tips! 💜⭐️ I really have been finding it hard to find motivation some days but it’s true get up a regular time and keep washing, dressing , work and getting physical activity.
Thank you so much for adding new songs to your optimal focus playlist! i've been listening to it for months whenever i study and it just never gets old!
Just want to say that I have been watching you for a while and I too am in my Final Year at uni. I used your technique but adapted it for my reports and essays and it made managing my notes so much easier. Thanks man!
This is exactly what I needed to stay motivated with all these uni deadlines still coming up! Waking up at the same time I normally would has been so important its stopping me getting lazy ahah. This is the content I need right now xxx
Oh my gosh, I had to read Home Fire for a class and it was one of my favorite books of the year so far! If you're able to, I'd definitely recommend reading Antigone either alongside or after you finish; it's super cool to see the comparisons between the two. Thanks for this uplifting vid!
Love that document idea for the essay! I do something similar when I have to write a paper and just print out all of my notes and colour code them regarding to which chapter I want to put it in. But I think the way you do it makes more sense and is more organized so I'll probably try it out for the paper I'm currently writing :)
I am on verge of crying , we were supposed to have exam in may but yesterday our uni send a email to all students that now it will be in April one month before it was supposed, and we haven't learn anything yet and from today we are in lockdown like what is going on !
@@funwithaiman ikr their reason is our degree is semester based so we have final every may as summer semester and December as winter semester and if they postponed our exam it will mess up our final year cuz I am in 2nd yr right now and they are gonna conduct medical and engineering exam in may so yeah they think maths degree is easier that's why they are going to take it one month prior , in my mind it's a stupid way to handle this situation tbh
0:42 I swear I play this part several times in every one of his videos. It's so kYOot. (Like jack) ; ) Edit : I just noticed that Jack has 188k subscribers and exactly 188 videos. Idk why that was necessary to point out
I've just ordered GCSE econ and psych textbooks bc ya gal wants to be learning stuff during this weird time (idk y but learning is my coping mechanism) 🤷🏽♀️
So happy to see your white t-shirt that is printed "エドウィン - EDWIN"! It's a Japanese brand which was named after "denim", using the same letters in the different order to show the spirit of manufacturing. But it's also rumored that name is derived from "win against Edo (the traditional name of Tokyo)", meaning the spirit of the countryside. Thanks for wearing the Japanese t-shirt, I'm very proud of you.
Please read this! self isolation and social distancing its not what bothers me. Im so preocuppied that any day my mom will lose her job and my dad has multiple chronic diseases so its really possible that he gets sick with corona. So right now I feel like Im a falling into a rabbit hole and no one is going to catch me. Its kinda weird to me seeing comments of people whinning about being bored or complaining about meaningless stuff like Netflix or stuff. Please be grateful if you are with your family and if you dont have money problems. Please be grateful and stay safe. Dont take anything for granted. One day I was going to university and now its probable that i will have to take any job to help my family and give up my studies.
i can always count on you to make me laugh, thank you. online school is hard and to have something like this to open when i’ve finished a day has just made me laugh so much. all in this together! ps have you considered becoming a personal trainer?
I've almost given up on motivation. My whole degree was meant to be assessed on my final exams, in a format I'd been preparing for during the past 2.5 years, and now they're changing it to online assessments (but they haven't told us yet what those will be...). I'm finding it hard to avoid thinking, well the goalposts have shifted so much, what's the point in trying - surely employers etc will understand given the whole world has changed completely? I'm trying to break out of that thinking but it's so demoralising to have the thing I've been working towards for I don't even know how long pulled out from underneath me. In any case I'm taking the week off academic work in the hope that I'll eventually get so bored that I have to start studying again. We'll see how that goes...
As a consequence of my bones having not the right structure as they should have I go to a medical doctor to have 1 hour tailoured exercise once a week. Weirdly, she told me that sit-ups are bad for our health, and lot of PE teachers told their students to do that, despite the fact it can really have bad imoacts on your body. Anyway, at the end of the letter I realised that sit ups and crunches are not the same 😂 so in order to stay healthy, take care of yourself and find out what's the best way to exercise.
Jack's optimal focus playlist has got me through so many revision sessions, I used it a lot during my year 10 mocks last year and I was 100% planning to for my GCSEs until they got cancelled whoops
Hi! I would highly recommend you read “The Shadow of the wind” (La sombra del viento) by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, realy great mistery novel and an easy read.
Hi jack, i love your video's even though i haven't been watching for long. I had a question, what are your tips/ ways to stay focused on your laptop. For me everything is now online and i've always had the most trouble concentrating on my laptop. Really hope you can help me. Thanks a lot!
Sumayya Amir they probably won’t cancel it since all the exam boards have decided to keep them on, i think it depends on your government and whether schools open by then or not. until conformation, good luck with your studies and exams !!
Sumayya Amir just got an email that CIE have cancelled all their exams ! i’m let down a little because i’ve worked so incredibly hard for these exams but at least i can netflix and chill without any guilt 😂 waiting on aqa and edexcel
Thank you Jack for the video. it was really fun especially the exercising part 🤣The first two weeks of self isolation were great; now everything is going down. Our evaluation has changed from exams to assignments because neither instructors nor students trust the online examination 😭 I DON'T WANT TO DO ASSIGNMENTS FOR 10 COURSES. I have a class in 1 min, so bye bye 👀
As a student who lives in a flat, where my flatmates live in their room, i feel like i've been self isolating for ages and going to work and get food when only necessary, but I hate it! and it makes you depressed.. life doesn't rly feel any different because of that hahaha!
whole world is suffering from COVID-19 i have spent 2 week at home in complete isolation and during my first week in isolation i was feeling little bit demotivated but now i am usetoo...
I actually use my Nintendo Switch for working out. I do fitness boxing and the dance games for cardio. It’s funny. People laughed when I bought them now they want to workout with me.👍
*saw he listens to HARRY STYLES..subscribed* ... coz if he listens to Harry styles... I can relate to him more than relate to myself ... it is what it is ..!
Lets all just acknowledge the fact that Jack is wearing a dressing gown in the thumbnail
Jack Edwards the personal trainer.
oh man do i need this. i have zero motivation whatsoever. I have an essay due at 9am tomorrow, I've had literally weeks to do it in, i've been quarantined in my house since tuesday with absolutely nothing else to do but my uni work, and my dumb ass didn't start it until 11pm today.
Kayla C fam you can do it! I believe in you
you got this
You have all of us rooting for you!
Good luck!
literally me with my portfolio, except it was due 12 am last night and I ended up getting it in at 2.20 am. Did you finish it :0
Let's appreciate that Jack was listening to Harry Styles. Need I say no more.
yes !!
literally gasped
Same!! I was like "yes."
Was about to comment the same thing!!
OH NO!! I'm unsubbing
"Corona Virus is currently doing the world tour that I was hoping to do."
This comment had me screaming 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Legend
when your a major introvert and realise that "social distancing" is just what you normally do
Oh so true. It is actually quite comfortable
But I introvert in coffee shops, art galleries and exhibitions:(
so true
I can't go to libraries or bookshops though 😔
I am an extrovert and this is basically killing meee
The only personal trainer who would actually motivate me omg wtf
trueee

“how to deal w self isolation and quarantine”
“home workout!!!”
me: time to log off
We all have another excuse to not go to the gym, why should we do home workout?

Sarah Buckley I am in the exact same boat. It sucks so much and I hope you are doing ok 💜 regardless of anything I’m sure we can get through this
@@bloops444 I hope you're okay too! Despite the stress of exams, we're physically healthy and that's all we can ask for during this time :)

I panicked when I heard a crunch after, "Where are my glasses? I can't do anything without my glasses."
I have never been more fed up of sitting aimlessly on my phone. I needed this
man i love you thanks for making this kind of content to help me survive during this rough time

This seems sort of unnecessary. Why would they situate the exam a month before rather than postponing it?
The blink Army I’m so sorry that’s happening to you. Can you contact a teacher or anything? Damn, I feel for you. Stay strong!

@@katieboyle8085 thank you 💜
Chocolate is keeping me afloat in these times
You: Jack Edwards
Me, an intellectual: JACKED WARDS
Love the playlist! Used it to help me get started studying earlier 🙂
Your spirit is actually the best. Also, same for the nerdiness for Classical Greece and Rome! So motivating Jack :)
ahh loved this Jack! literally failing to find any motivation right now gaah
Anyone else think this should be a daily podcast!? I need this to get through! Such a great video 😍
if you end up doing any cleaning/decluttering WE ARE HERE FOR IT
Doing work at the moment ... I need this vid asap
0:42 I swear I play this part several times in every one of his videos.
It's so kYOot. (Like jack) ; )
Edit : I just noticed that Jack has 188k subscribers and exactly 188 videos. Idk why that was necessary to point out
jack the montage of you doing the workout has me laughing on the floor 😂😂
I've just ordered GCSE econ and psych textbooks bc ya gal wants to be learning stuff during this weird time (idk y but learning is my coping mechanism) 🤷🏽♀️
I appreciate your choice in music 💗
ok but his optimal focus playlist is really good. i listen to it all the time when studying
i am in love with that sweatshirt at the end 🙈
jack looks like he's dead inside in the thumbnail lol
aren't we all
@@studyingantiquities2657 I was just about to comment this ahahah

love from the third week of lockdown in Italy
ti ho vista commentare su un sacco di video e niente, 👋
that fluffy jacket is everything
JACK! You are so cool. Kisses from ARGENTINA. Here we are in our 13 day of quarantine. Thanks for this video
It’s a good book. A retelling of Antigone. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for the video.

I used home fire for my epq on the influence of Greek mythology on 21st century literature!
There's something about watching people get their shit done that makes me get up from the bed too... so thanks!
You are so funny. I have nothing more to say. You really made me laugh. Always be yourself, you're perfect the way you are.
Thank you so much for your video and your humor, I feel less lonely in this situation like a student 😂.
3:42 when he bit the spoon I wanted to DIE
7:50 Is the cable port on the left alright or does it need help? :D Just a random thought... ;)
Needed this video rn
Hi! I would highly recommend you read “The Shadow of the wind” (La sombra del viento) by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, realy great mistery novel and an easy read.
Can you do a video about the research paper process you do!?
I love that you were listening to fine line 🥰
I watched this last night and started following the tricks
I know it will be depressing when you move out (especially if it's early), but will you make a video of you packing up your stuff and moving out?
this genuinely made me want to get my shit back on track. thankyou
Workout video please!!
