Hope you guys enjoyed the podcast! Sorry for that weird blur thing going on on my video. And I also made a typo on James' @ in the video lol, check the description for the right one.
His personality was so interesting that we didn't even focus on what blur thing u talking about .thanks for introducing him to me through ur channel .I'm really thankful.
I subscribed, counted 60+ multiple unstoppable Ads in this video, so I unsubsribed. Disproportionate number of ads considering this channel is sub 100K.
i dont hear enough about youtube addiction, this is something that ive been struggling with for years. People seem to mostly talk about "social media" addiction but don't usually include youtube with that, but for me its still a problem.
If you watch on a videogame console, delete it. On browsers, i use unhook. Unhook removes the recomendations page and enables you to deactivate other pages aswell. For the phone, i recommend uninstalling it
I have watched a lot of his recent videos, and I think he talked about how he got rid of devices that would allow him to watch youtube easily. He has a few older laptops, and one of them is for watching youtube and movies, if I remember correctly. But by not having an iPad and iPhone, he can't pull out UA-cam whenever he feels like it. E-ink is black and white, so that makes people less inclined to be on social media. I would recommend putting your phone in grayscale mode to see if it helps!
I think my comment got deleted but here i am again. On phone and/or videogame console, just uninstall. On pc use Unhook, an extension that removes the recommended tab and enables you to hide other tabas aswell.
Fr. I use UA-cam constantly in my studies but then I get distracted by the videos in my homepage and recommendations. Most of the time after I finish studying here I still stay on UA-cam for hours watching and listening to random stuff.
Bro this guy was insane during covid, helped me to focus way back. He’s crazy to do it that long, but hell he really wanted to do good in his life. I can’t wait to watch this.
I don't really understand what to watch in those streams of him ??what's beneficial there how are you guys following a vid of some dude who's just minding his own business...I'm just so curious about it
@@Ramen-ui3gh people are doing their own stuff when watching his streams... is not that hard to connect the dots... they are literally titled study with me, you're supposed to be studying too.....
@@Ramen-ui3gh it's like ppl who play rain sound while studying stuff like that the study with me video encourage you more to study instead of doing something else it's like when you are in a library you tend to study like anybody else instead of distracting yourself with your phone ect
James Sholz is that rare archetype that I've only seen a few times in my life where they're able to consistently do a bunch of things and excel at all of them. A generalists dream.
I mean do we even know his college performance to assume he really excels at anything? don't get me wrong, this level of dedication and effort will most definitely give you above average results but I wouldn't bet my life on him outperforming everyone in his class and chances are, most people will probably spend a third of the time he spends studying, if not less. effort can only get you so far before talent takes over.
@@JPN-k6c Ok nobody cares ur working for urself and ur improving. Obivously there are people whos dominant at such field and the world has 8 billion people, why care about others excelling at you when you know that your talent could only get you this far meaning you have to put in additional effort.
james is a legend. he was a big inspiration of me getting out of my rut a few years back. it helps me to kinda look at him and see what he's up to in this point of his life considering we are just a few months apart in age.
It's so rare nowadays to find people like James, he is truly a motivating figure for a lot of people, Students of all ages. I just want him to know that he is living a life and also making us live better every single day. :)
Love how James sticks to his principles even during tempting times and keeps helping others/retiring his mom top of mind as his motivations, pursuing evolution for the sake of others. Thank you Reysu for sharing this fire interview!🔥🤝
James changed my life in 2020 and I couldn't thank him enough for putting me back on a path towards success. I barely passed high school and now I'll be starting a PhD program soon. Putting in 10 hours of studying a day during undergrad while doing research & internships was a lot but it really pays off.
here before this blows up . James has been an inspiration to so many people across so many different countries. Especially here in asia its really great to just have some motivation because studying 12 hours a day here is a must and feeling burnt out is common. He always helps me get out of my rut and start again
it's so cool that you interviewed him, for me I had literally lost hope that I could study, let alone for long hours, but I started to study longer hours because of him, I came across it on youtube one day and it flipped the switch in my life, I still do miss the streams but this was so good to watch
That was such a great conversation, mate. I get so amused to see so many people relate with each other about how to slow down and feel less scattered in their life. It's just great !
he helped so many people gain control and be consistent in their lives, and yet he's so humble about it. also, the way he kept saying that all he did was just to help people was so inspiring fr. i really appreciate you asking him to the interview, Reysu!
Away from how amazing James’s life and mentality is. You’re a very good interviewer and listener you asked the questions that the viewers may have and listened pretty well! First time watching you and y’all both amazing. What a valuable video keep going
I saw him a few years ago and was hooked instantly. I loved his cat who popped in the frame all the time too. I already have this level of discipline with my small business but seeing someone else do it it too helped me keep going. So excited for this interview!
James gave me immense motivation and also showed a path to me during covid when I was going towards a downhill of low productivity and you tube addiction. I was a high-schooler at that time, with me being from India, like every STEM guy I had to study for my JEE Mains and Advanced 2023 which did indeed needs the amount of hard work and focused concentration which I was only able to put as I would religiously follow his live streams everyday. Now I am in an INI(Institute of National Importance) and I would any day say that a big chunk for the success of me clearing the JEE exams were due to me getting inspired from James for which I have immense gratitude and respect towards him. It's great seeing him do well, I hope he achieves each of his endeavors. And I wish the same to you as well.
I have a totally messed up life with no routine at all. But I'm trying to be like James, he's my role model. This has definitely been a great interview. It's helping me a lot
This guy is so reasonable. Expressing that advice may not be useful to everyone and stressing his own routine is just what suits him feels very authentic. What a cool guy.
Perfect example of a successful person in this era where youth are majorly addicted to there comfort zone, and becoming unique successful doesn't matter to them. Though like james , I too not have much friends neither I text to anyone, but I have also habit of using YT much more.
Pretty dystopic that the best ways of making money is spending 12 hours a day trying to make passive income while having no social life, this guys smart and doing what he's supposed to yet we are doomed by design.
Who says that is the best way? It is a way which works for him. There are many other ways and most of them are easier. Having a healthy social life and learning to be social pays out big time when you working yourself up the leader or working in a startup.
"She wasn't always there for me but I know she was fighting for me. She deserves the best" I really resonated with that. I have high respects for you man. Im just so proud of u. I've watched u since pandemic and you really helped me a lot. You inspire me so much!❤
This interview is amazing. I wish I had an e-ink monitor for my work, because looking at Dell devices for 8 hours becomes so painful. It would be cool if James created his own dumbphone lol, or started a new phone company. One that didn't rely on kids to mine the materials I need to rewatch and take notes, especially for book recommendations. Amazing work
As someone who was a teenager in the 90s this conversation is fascinating for me. My first phone was when I was in Sixth Form, it was what the youth today would call a dumb phone (which is surreal to me because it was mesmerising back then!). It took a few more years for phones to become mainstream, we all had Nokias that could call and text and that was about it. Then we all got bamboozled by smart phones, Facebook etc not realising its downsides. It's interesting how young people today are starting to see the reality of all of this tech and its negatives, and are in some ways returning to how we lived pre the 2000s. I am glad they see things clearly. Distraction is much harder to avoid today than back then. I have started to switch my phone off throughout the day to help me concentrate and get things done. Edit: My first phone was a Phillips Savvy from 1999 if anyone is interested in vintage tech!
yoo it's amazing that you interviewed james Scholz, he is the reason why I changed a lot and started the "study with me" stream 3 years back and continuing on. Love the vid man!! btw you got james's @ wrong lol
I can't believe I see this guy again, cuz the last video I've seen posted from him is like from 2-3 years ago or smth. I thought he quit, glad he graduated and hope he's doing ok. Still subscribed to him, he was and still is an inspiration for me(I'm a student currently), so yeah. Even tho I commend his will to learn for so long each day, I can't do it honestly, i'm just getting bored. I don't have to do problems, I just have to learn some info(med school). I get sick of it. Can't wait to finish this.
Thanks for the interview, Reysu! It was quite inspiring hearing from a 24-year-old with a clear vision/purpose who is taking steps towards it. I love that you embed pictures of the books or whatsoever James was talking about, quite unique interviewing style :)
i was so curious abt how the movie went cuz james been working on it since 2022,didn't know it's still in process,and seems like it's a big deal.Tbh,i'm very impressed,keep up the good work !
I got myself in order on James's channel, which I discovered about 5 months ago, and I open each of his videos and work with him, take a break with him, I start at the same time and finish at the same time as him. I endure a trouble like the university exam and study, and after 40 days, this painful experience will end. .But I still believe that I will be a more hard-working, disciplined person for the rest of my life, thanks to the discipline you have given me. Now, I will leave this video and move on to the 9th part of the course.With love and respect to James Scholz from Türkiye.
So helpful! I was really looking for a podcast that's I can learn a lot from. This is one of best one I've listened! Plus both your voices are so pleasant. I also love how James' think. It's a really great content!
I don't think at all that he was bored or anything. His case was TOTALLY different. He himself adviced not to rely on temporary factors, like bursts of motivation, mood,etc. Instead he EMPHASIZED on drive. Drive was the factor for him.
as a fan of james for a few years i am incredebaly inspired and just wowed by him i aspire to be like him in the best places like the studying and the discipline he has .
Wow this is a super interesting interview. Lots of great questions asked. I like the ending answer of how he describes a car to how he wants to be. Hopefully we get follow up interviews as time passes and this UA-camr changes. It would be nice to see this type of interaction again. You guys both seem interested in what the other is saying rather than some bored looks and responses that I’ve seen happening on other channels.
Thank you so much for this video! Someone I would like to see in this series is multiversecurse. He has a really amazing violin, journal and exercise routine, and he reminds me a lot of James and Ruri!
When I used to study at night, I would play his videos in the background. It felt like studying at the library and being a competitive person, it feed into my insanity. 25:50 hit different. We have somethings in common friend, keep doing what you're doing.
Love your videos Reysu, it's really fascinating to get a look behind unique approaches and channels, especially when most of UA-cam paints the picture of things only working within a rather limited range of approaches. Also, really cool to hear his approach to and perspective on life, such an inspiring video!
in Austria our graduation exam is called matura and it consists of 6 exams in total 3 of them take 5h each and he saved me!! through his streams I managed to focus and even graduate with honours!!
@@reysu Yes, it's one of the most legendary Japanese engines ever built. Best know for it's strength and reliability and being able to tune it to crazy HP numbers without having to fundamentally change much on the engine.
@TrueJonah-vn9dj well most students have a destructive tendency to believe that all they need to do is to study 'more', and that anyone who devotes 12 hours a day is the ideal. Instead of focusing on the style and strategies they believe in amount of hours put in determines their success. So he represents an ideal for them. He represents the idea that people can study 12 hours a day and hence they can too
same, I think it is a thin line between self destructive tendencies and self discipline. 10 hours of studying is fairly normal for a student (if you think of university hours+after prep), though you won't be very focused and definitely not making progress the whole time
Hi Reysu, this video recently came up on my Recommended. I am glad to have clicked on this video. There is so much advice and general stuff in this video that James hasn't talked about on his channel. I really liked listening to you guys talk and I will definitely be using Life of Discipline for my habit tracker and I really liked the car metaphor James talked about, since i am a big fan of cars. Anyways, loved your video and your questions that you asked James were really good too :)
doing a CS degree and I honestly feel like it isn't even possible for me to "study" for 12 hours a day. or almost at all. I go to my classes, get back to my dorm, endlessly do the homework and projects I've been assigned, go to bed, repeat the next day. the only respite being when it's three days until the next midterm exam and they can't (in good conscience) assign any more homework and projects (not that it stops them depending on the class), or when I crash and do nothing for 1-2 days and realize I missed a class and am getting points deducted from my grade or have a million deadlines coming up and will have to eat a 70 on an assignment even if I work nonstop. the funniest part is that I'm not sure I'm actually making any progress. I'm doing what I'm told to and getting reasonably good evaluations, but at the end of the day I feel no different from before. graduates from this place seem to make a good amount of money though, so if nothing else I'll be able to feed myself and my family once I'm done, which sounds good to me I guess. I just wish the process didn't feel this soulless.
I feel you bro. I graduated with a CS degree and there were periods near deadlines where I worked nonstop for 16-18 hours per day and only sleeping a couple of hours. A lot of times I'd spend 50+ hours on a coding assignment and make almost zero progress, or realize I have to re-do everything. You can do this, it'll be worth it 🤝
I have a CS degree but doing an IT support job. I make 80k and take care of daughter at the same time. I do on average about 4 hours of work. Wife works in office. We have a good life and the money is more than enough to do decent amount of stuff. If we lived in a cheaper city it would be even better. You don’t need to bust your $$$ to have a decent life. Just to be clear, I could have changed jobs about 2 years in but the flexibility of taking care of a baby and then being able to not put her in daycare and then also being able to dip out and work from different states and vacation spots is too good for me to give up to make another 20-30k. However, now that my kid is older and my wife is wanting to get a remote job. I am going to be grinding for a few months to grab some certs and start applying. I could easily get a 110kish job if I grind a bit. With some good investments and money management we will be fine. I do have ambitions of making 180k plus but I’m not gonna grind like a donkey and give up time with my family and the short time I have on this earth.
shoutout to james, i got into the top 3 college in my country, despite being the last ranking in my class. i cant thank him enough for saving my ass and my dignity
At school I would study for 12 hours. At uni I studied for 14 hours. For my PhD and second MA would study for 11 hourse without a weekend break. As a lecturer I have slowed down a bit and read and work for 8-10 hours a day but if I have a big project I can stay focused all day long. Though I feel that recently I have to put an effort into focusing, and I know that it is because of social media. Have been more aware of its use. The guy seems genuine and with a kind heart.
Long time i didnt see this guy and youtube recomendate me this video, nice to see him, in that time i always used to put his streamings in background while i was trying to become a professional poker player, i also read one book named "Deep work" that he recomends. Nowadays im very succesfull, im travelling around the world playing . He dont know me but i will be gratefully to him for that piece of motivation he give me in that moment.
12 hours is incredibly taxing. Doing literally anything for 12 hours is a chore. Also, performance decreases substantially after couple of hours of high intense focus. It’s like wringing out a towel with no water or scraping peanut butter out of an almost empty jar. Yea you’ll get something, but not like you would if ur jar was fresh and towl soaked, i.e- new day with good sleep
Man what a great dude. He rejects sponsors for the sake of the viewer. As someone who also grew up without a father I feel for him. But imo think it made him a hard worker, independent and it furthur values his relationship with his mother. Would love to hangout with someone like James
Hope you guys enjoyed the podcast! Sorry for that weird blur thing going on on my video. And I also made a typo on James' @ in the video lol, check the description for the right one.

i was so curious abt how the movie went cuz james been working on it since 2022,didn't know it's still in process,and seems like it's a big deal.Tbh,i'm very impressed,keep up the good work !
excited to hear more about it too
I got myself in order on James's channel, which I discovered about 5 months ago, and I open each of his videos and work with him, take a break with him, I start at the same time and finish at the same time as him. I endure a trouble like the university exam and study, and after 40 days, this painful experience will end. .But I still believe that I will be a more hard-working, disciplined person for the rest of my life, thanks to the discipline you have given me. Now, I will leave this video and move on to the 9th part of the course.With love and respect to James Scholz from Türkiye.
Amazing, big fan of James and his videos - mad respect for the guy. Great interview.
So helpful! I was really looking for a podcast that's I can learn a lot from. This is one of best one I've listened! Plus both your voices are so pleasant. I also love how James' think. It's a really great content!
Glad it was helpful!
Love that man. He's a legend.
absolutely
I don't think at all that he was bored or anything. His case was TOTALLY different. He himself adviced not to rely on temporary factors, like bursts of motivation, mood,etc. Instead he EMPHASIZED on drive. Drive was the factor for him.
he drives? ryan gosling? is he totally me?
think that's definitely true to a certain extent
@aryan7767 lol
You mean passion for a goal
@@aryan7767 he does (2011)
Thank you both for the interview. It’s very inspiring and chill af at the same time =) Loved it
as a fan of james for a few years i am incredebaly inspired and just wowed by him i aspire to be like him in the best places like the studying and the discipline he has .
Wow this is a super interesting interview. Lots of great questions asked. I like the ending answer of how he describes a car to how he wants to be. Hopefully we get follow up interviews as time passes and this UA-camr changes. It would be nice to see this type of interaction again. You guys both seem interested in what the other is saying rather than some bored looks and responses that I’ve seen happening on other channels.
Thank you so much for this video! Someone I would like to see in this series is multiversecurse. He has a really amazing violin, journal and exercise routine, and he reminds me a lot of James and Ruri!
interesting! Never heard of him, will check it out
I love how humble he is
Can’t believe you located the man the myth the legend himself
🤜
great interview..kudos to both the interviewer and interviewee !!
thank you for watching, will keep making more of these!
I like this man a lot! He is my inspiration in life:)
Great interview. James is great.
James is so knowledgeable and I really related to his analogy. Thanks for asking such great questions and building them off one another
thank you so much
God bless this kid. Inspiring
James has been a big inspiration to me for 3, 4 years. Great video ^-^
hahah James is literally pioneer for those productivity streams especially during the pandemic xD
"Doing hard things it's helps you grow" 100 percent true'
Thank you, for this beautiful video✨
Love the interview, thanks for doing this :)
glad you enjoyed it !
When I used to study at night, I would play his videos in the background. It felt like studying at the library and being a competitive person, it feed into my insanity. 25:50 hit different. We have somethings in common friend, keep doing what you're doing.
Love your videos Reysu, it's really fascinating to get a look behind unique approaches and channels, especially when most of UA-cam paints the picture of things only working within a rather limited range of approaches. Also, really cool to hear his approach to and perspective on life, such an inspiring video!
in Austria our graduation exam is called matura and it consists of 6 exams in total 3 of them take 5h each and he saved me!! through his streams I managed to focus and even graduate with honours!!
wow!! that's amazing
"My role model is the 2JZ."
Idk why, but I feel like this explains so much of what he's been able to accomplish.
i don't know much about engines, is it well known?
@@reysu Yes, it's one of the most legendary Japanese engines ever built. Best know for it's strength and reliability and being able to tune it to crazy HP numbers without having to fundamentally change much on the engine.
Yoooo another banger interview, looking forward for more!
thanks man!!
people need to realise that he's not helping them to study, he's just selling an idea (irrespective of whether he actually studies or not)
@TrueJonah-vn9dj well most students have a destructive tendency to believe that all they need to do is to study 'more', and that anyone who devotes 12 hours a day is the ideal. Instead of focusing on the style and strategies they believe in amount of hours put in determines their success. So he represents an ideal for them. He represents the idea that people can study 12 hours a day and hence they can too
Well, if he's merely selling an idea. I'm definitely buying 😅
same, I think it is a thin line between self destructive tendencies and self discipline. 10 hours of studying is fairly normal for a student (if you think of university hours+after prep), though you won't be very focused and definitely not making progress the whole time
This was great, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Reysu, this video recently came up on my Recommended. I am glad to have clicked on this video. There is so much advice and general stuff in this video that James hasn't talked about on his channel. I really liked listening to you guys talk and I will definitely be using Life of Discipline for my habit tracker and I really liked the car metaphor James talked about, since i am a big fan of cars. Anyways, loved your video and your questions that you asked James were really good too :)
thank you so much for watching :)
doing a CS degree and I honestly feel like it isn't even possible for me to "study" for 12 hours a day. or almost at all. I go to my classes, get back to my dorm, endlessly do the homework and projects I've been assigned, go to bed, repeat the next day. the only respite being when it's three days until the next midterm exam and they can't (in good conscience) assign any more homework and projects (not that it stops them depending on the class), or when I crash and do nothing for 1-2 days and realize I missed a class and am getting points deducted from my grade or have a million deadlines coming up and will have to eat a 70 on an assignment even if I work nonstop.
the funniest part is that I'm not sure I'm actually making any progress. I'm doing what I'm told to and getting reasonably good evaluations, but at the end of the day I feel no different from before. graduates from this place seem to make a good amount of money though, so if nothing else I'll be able to feed myself and my family once I'm done, which sounds good to me I guess. I just wish the process didn't feel this soulless.
I feel you bro. I graduated with a CS degree and there were periods near deadlines where I worked nonstop for 16-18 hours per day and only sleeping a couple of hours. A lot of times I'd spend 50+ hours on a coding assignment and make almost zero progress, or realize I have to re-do everything. You can do this, it'll be worth it 🤝

what after the cs degree
I have a CS degree but doing an IT support job. I make 80k and take care of daughter at the same time. I do on average about 4 hours of work.
Wife works in office.
We have a good life and the money is more than enough to do decent amount of stuff.
If we lived in a cheaper city it would be even better.
You don’t need to bust your $$$ to have a decent life. Just to be clear, I could have changed jobs about 2 years in but the flexibility of taking care of a baby and then being able to not put her in daycare and then also being able to dip out and work from different states and vacation spots is too good for me to give up to make another 20-30k.
However, now that my kid is older and my wife is wanting to get a remote job. I am going to be grinding for a few months to grab some certs and start applying. I could easily get a 110kish job if I grind a bit. With some good investments and money management we will be fine.
I do have ambitions of making 180k plus but I’m not gonna grind like a donkey and give up time with my family and the short time I have on this earth.
12:00 great lesson / analogy
shoutout to james, i got into the top 3 college in my country, despite being the last ranking in my class. i cant thank him enough for saving my ass and my dignity
Good shit
At school I would study for 12 hours. At uni I studied for 14 hours. For my PhD and second MA would study for 11 hourse without a weekend break. As a lecturer I have slowed down a bit and read and work for 8-10 hours a day but if I have a big project I can stay focused all day long. Though I feel that recently I have to put an effort into focusing, and I know that it is because of social media. Have been more aware of its use.
The guy seems genuine and with a kind heart.
The interviewer is so cute and asked good questions love it
thanks a lot for doing this
Love your videos Reysu they help me a ton. I appreciate u.
thank you, new video coming soon tmr :)
Great video. Thanks!
Long time i didnt see this guy and youtube recomendate me this video, nice to see him, in that time i always used to put his streamings in background while i was trying to become a professional poker player, i also read one book named "Deep work" that he recomends.
Nowadays im very succesfull, im travelling around the world playing . He dont know me but i will be gratefully to him for that piece of motivation he give me in that moment.
love how ppl consider 12 hrs is crazy while its a combination of online classes and self study
12 hours is incredibly taxing. Doing literally anything for 12 hours is a chore. Also, performance decreases substantially after couple of hours of high intense focus. It’s like wringing out a towel with no water or scraping peanut butter out of an almost empty jar. Yea you’ll get something, but not like you would if ur jar was fresh and towl soaked, i.e- new day with good sleep
@@YyNRCyYyet they reach the farthest
used this guys videos to unlock a superpower that let me work on my thesis for 8-10 hrs a day which was unbelievable
that's amazing
Thank you for this wonderful video 💜James ❤ 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳
this is really a great interview..so informative
if they ever made a (quality) live action Death Note, James would be a perfect fit for the role of L
Can I be Matsuda
Man what a great dude. He rejects sponsors for the sake of the viewer. As someone who also grew up without a father I feel for him. But imo think it made him a hard worker, independent and it furthur values his relationship with his mother. Would love to hangout with someone like James
this is the last vid I'm gonna watch for a while now :D
hope it works
🤝
i realized that watching this video was pointless for my life so I'm exiting out of it. Thanks James for helping me realize my youtube addiction! :)
