      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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    • @keagle187
      @keagle187 8 місяців тому +9

      @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

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.

    • @reysu
      @reysu  8 місяців тому +9

      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

    • @hz1056
      @hz1056 27 днів тому

      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.

    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.

      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
