this should be the top comment
1. Get enough sleep.
2. Have a goal and just do it.
3. Surround yourself with people who motivate you.
4. Take breaks. Use the pomodoro technique.
5. Make sure you eat right. Pick what you're gonna eat before you get hungry.
6. Turn your goal into a habit.
7. Break your day into smaller tasks.
8. Start on a monday.
Thanks bro hope that helps big love❤🙈🙊

I think the biggest point to make with motivation is not to rely on it. If you want change you need discipline, to do it regardless of how you feel (obviously not if sick). Motivation is a feeling that comes and goes but you can always rely on discipline.
+xisumavoid Hey Xisuma! :D Nice to see you here! :)
+xisumavoid Very good point! Would love to see how "discipline" versus "motivation" enables us to engage in healthy, beneficial, productive behaviors and if one is indeed "better" than the other or if you need a balance of both.
+xisumavoid True. I often have episodes of depression where I can't even find the motivation to get out of bed. I've learned that forcing myself to do something productive during those times actually shortens the amount of time I'm depressed, because if I just let my To Do list pile up I feel even worse but if I accomplish something while I feel like crap, I feel better about myself. I keep telling myself that I physically can do things, it's just that my brain doesn't want me to.
Very true X :)
I did not expect to see you here!
DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS
but i need my sleep... T.T

Me after watching this video: That's it. I'm gonna be productive and motivated.
Starting tomorrow.
I hate school, well in all honesty, I don't. I hate homework. I feel like I work double the amount everyone else does bc I try to make it really nice, and I go slow. So an essay can take 2 1/2 hours, even though I'm good at English .
Goal: Pass my Classes 🙏
Please god let me pass.
God isn't going to help you sweetie, it's all on you.
Aspen Lillyflow stop trying to be the perfectionist. just go along the flow.
God will help you, but you have to put all the work in.
Aspen Lillyflow Man I have the same problem
dear Satan ,Lucifer, and baphomet let this bitch pass
Yesterday you said tomorrow, so just DO IT
8 Tips To STAY Motivated!? I'm not motivated at all in the first place!
+ambahthepanda It never said to motivate you, it just said to STAY motivated. You even Capitalized Stay, do you even understand what you just said?
+Red Sniper yeah...that was the joke I was attempting to make...because the video title says "stay", it's like you already have to be motivated in the first place and the video is going to help you STAY in that state, but...I'm not, hence the joke.
ambahthepanda This day just keeps getting worse....Sry :D
+Current Colours lulz
+Red Sniper it's ok I'm terrible at jokes XD

Genesis hype!!
Daylightful TRUEE! GENESIS HYPE! (All dem caps, doe lol)
I learned out how to make good MAD goals. Not MAD as in the emotion, its stands for Measurable, Attainable, and Dead-line driven. Here's an example of a MAD goal, I want to read 100 pages of my book by the end of the week. Its measurable (you are able to do it), attainable (you can do it every day) and is dead-line driven (want to read 100 pages by end of the week). An example of a bad MAD goal is, I want to read 500 pages of my book. Here are reasons why its a bad goal, (1) in the goal it didn't state when you wanted to read 500 pages by, and (2) you probably aren't going to do it once you start.
I wanted to share this because I learned it in one of my critical thinking and study skills class and its one of the more interesting things I've learned in that class.
My goal this year is to study more Chemistry and Physics so I can do better at school and get into a medical school :>
Good luck medicine is a great career I hope you succeed xx
Well... there's a new season of..
Maeve kerr Thank you!
***** Good luck :D
+Flor Vanity Isn't Biology that you should be focus on for a med school? btw good luck.
start on Monday??
its procrastination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not unless you ACTUALLY start on that Monday :D
Am I the only one who has more energy if I sleep less?
No, I'm exactly the same😄
+balpreet kaur The same here 😅
no I spent two days with no sleep and had lots of energy and was very productive!:-)
+balpreet kaur I think that's to do with sleep cycles, we have like 4 hour periods of sleep or something. Basically, if u got 4 hours of sleep you'd feel more alert than if you got 5 hours of sleep because you hadn't finished the next 4 hour cycle. So maybe you wake up in a mid cycle and might need to change when u wake up or go to sleep?
+balpreet kaur I can't do anything when I'm tired..
My new year resoution is to look back on 2016 and not cringe as much as I did looking back at 2015 ._.
Lol that's now mine!!
+JustElise That's what you said last year.. :/
So?
My goals are to become healthier and go to bed earlier!
Carabootini me too
I need to stop procrastinating !!!! help !!!
Just do it.
+Accalia Wolf just can't seem to bring myself to do it. I'll do anything to wriggle out of it. Heck I write fanfiction if I have to put off my work for a while though I do enjoy that very much. :)
Yesterday you said tomorrow
+Chinki Ramprasad JUST DO IT!, if you say this to yourself every time something like this occurs, it will almost go automatic the next time.. Learned from Casey
+Chinki Ramprasad Haha, I know the feeling. I'm basically in the same situation. I've procrastinated doing my homework for 2 weeks, and on the last week of the holiday I've got to do it all, and it's *A LOT.*
I want to start my homework 15 minutes after I get home. I just want to be really productive early in the evening so I can get a good sleep
That's exactly what I'm doing, glad to know I'm not the only one!
My goal is to wake up at 5:00 A.M., in the morning and start my day by preparing my own breakfast.
I just want to finish all my homework that's due this week...which is a LOT OF STUFF I haven't even gotten started on yet...

If Greg perfects the "Sorry" choreography, I'm expecting an entire video of it accompanied with a science-themed cover of the song.

I've got an 2500-word essay due tomorrow that's 40% of my grade and I've got like only 500 words :s Motivation is not my friend. Any more tips?
Start on Monday it'll be easier
+Issy Make an essay outline, like all the topics, subtopics, proofs and stuff. Once you have that, you basically have your whole essay but shortened down, now make those points into sentences, add transition sentences, starter words etc. And when you proof read it, which make sure you do, read it out loud, that will be your best friend in this case.
I really hope I helped a bit, because I know how it feels, I had an essay due the Monday back from break.
Joban Sihota Thanks!! I'm :)
+Joban Sihota Good points. Another thing I do, is if I don't know how I want to state my ideas, I just make bullet point of the facts I want to cover. Then I just go back and tie them up into sentences.
heyyy, my old comment 😂 ended up getting the top grade and the highest grade in the class lol
For number four, I do things a touch differently. Instead of having scheduled breaks, I work for as long as I can handle. I personally start blanking out when I've worked for too long, so rather than taking a break with something like going on my phone, listening to music, or watching a show, I do a mundane task that requires no thought. Making my bed, putting laundry to wash, or even going for a short walk are all physical things that don't really require me to think, so my mind gets a little rest, but I'm still doing something productive so I don't feel like I just wasted ten minutes doing nothing.
You guys always make me smile
Start on a monday? Perfect, I don't have to start today.
Hey guys. I'd like to see you do a video on Cleanses. there's a ton of videos out there about them, but I don't trust the sources.
Yes!
what is that?
Here you go, it's all bollocks. The end.
Thank you! I just finished my science homework for the first time in about two months. You guys have me the motivation and tips to actually do the work. I just want to thank you guys for helping me and my lazy bum.
For the first month of 2017, I had lost ALL motivation to do schoolwork. I was starting homework an hour and a half after I got home, I did homework assignments on the bus ride to school the day they were due, and sometimes I just didn't finish them. I was going to sleep WAY too late every night and was constantly tired. I didn't care. I've decided to turn myself around and do my homework RIGHT after I get home, I'm getting enough sleep, and I'm actually really proud of myself. If you're in a similar situation as I am, I suggest turning yourself around, it really pays off.
My goal is to finish the first draft of my book! :)
dj khaled you there?

I really laughed out loud when you popped up and exclaimed "Wait, you can make coffee?" So funny!
For me right now my only goal is getting as much revision done as possible for my exam tomorrow, I've been revising since Monday but I still haven't done enough D:

Super Abz I didn't quit internet tho...My future is decided xD
+Moonsong I've got an 2500-word Eng Lit essay due tomorrow that's 40% of my grade and I've got like only 500 words :s

To finish this a2 level 3d design unit that I recently found out is due in 2 weeks.
This week was all about motivation for me. After the last 2 uninteresting years of medical setbacks, I've finally decided to take matters into my own hands and get my college education started. I got everything ready to go this week and am starting within the month. It all started with some simple motivation!
thank you soooo much for you guys' awesome videos!!!!
Stop procrastinating :/
+Arianna Moore But... this was just taking a break...? I'll finish my assignment now... Okay, just ONE more video.... (send help, I'm stuck in this loop!)
+SuperCuriousFox I know right :( I'm procrastinating by watching a video to help me stop that. After I was like *yes, I can do this* then.... I saw another video to watch x_x
It is like UA-cam was designed to suck procrastinators in...
Arianna Moore ok
I have a goal for UA-cam. I'm a Comedy Gaming UA-camr, pretty much what what I do is play random games with friends, do crazy stuff for funny moments and then spend hours editing videos. Sometimes I get distracted trying to finish a video, any tips or helpful advice?
+marioandluigi mariobros Don't need advice for haters like you xD Him not responding to you means he doesn't care :P His guy makes good videos
Love you guys!
A fab duo give us some priceless tips to be successful in the new year! I really enjoy you guys!
Will you die if you eat more than 2 gummy vitamins a day?!? I NEED ANSWERS
+Alina'slife 430 Yes. Rest in peace.
I don't know Google it
One time I ate 4. Ima rebel.
My dad once took my vitamin gummies and ate nearly 10 of them because he thought they were random snacks that 'happened' to be in the medicine cupboard -_-
you can die by taking too much vitamin A (like eating a polar bear's liver) but overdosing other vitamins are not deadly.
I don't understand the tip number 7. can someone explain?
arseniy
spread your goal into bite size chunks! such as he said you might want to work on your studying then devote one hour into that take a break and move onto the other task. Repeat this and make it a habit
arseniy Tim Urban has a great post about it on Waitbutwhy, somethng like 'how to beat procrastination'

Thanks, subscribe my channel
I am a Chemistry Student studying for a physics test.... I needed motivation and you guys made me smile. That's enough ^^
Man, I love your videos, guys. Thanks.
Happy New Year!!!
Love you guys you are both great motivators with a splash of entertainment to deliver very important tips/messages keep up the good work!!
Love all your videos guys! Thanks for all the info always!
I use Sundays to start my week (mentally) as I usually have that day off work and that makes it easier for me to focus on new habits and projects. The eating right and getting enough sleep thing I'm still working on. And I like the tip for creating habits to accomplish things like saving money! Thanks for the video guys.
You guys are awesome! Thank you for the videos.
I needed this motivation in my life... Internet can be so supportive to me...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you guys for these great informative videos!
I just started my second semester in college and knowing what things motivates best is a great motivation in itself. I needed that~
Something that helps me stay motivated is listening to music while i do homework. Yes, sometimes this can be counterproductive if I'm working on a subject that requires a lot of focus, but if it's for one of my easier courses, music helps me stay focused and motivated. And if I'm lying around trying to get myself to start working, I'll often remind myself that if I start working, I get to listen to music which is always fun.
We love both of u... u guys helps us a lot..
I'm so motivated that I'm watching this video instead of studying for history
Wow. You guys look great! All the travel and the new office space seems to be serving you well. Best wishes to all of you and thank you for the awesome stuff you do.
Finally some real tips to stay motivated, I'm really thankful I needed this to be able to keep studying for my IG's. Thank you guys really.
You guys are amazing.
being observed actually makes a lot of people motivated
i know when i'm collaborating with someone or i'm showcasing my work, i feel the pressure
it's pretty good if you're freelancing
I love these guys... honestly ur wide arrange of videos have helped me to be a better person and student. Keep on doing what u do, pls don't change anything...
This is the best list I've ever seen
Thank you for the video!
Right before my semester starts, impeccable timing!
So glad you made this! I really want to bring my grades up, and I got so excited when this popped up in my subscription feed!
9) Watch Asap science!
Guys you motivate me a lot, so thank you for all the work and all the time you spend for your videos and your pages. I love you!
Thnks guys, always is good to know this things
Really love this video. You guys are so smart.
You guys are so awesome
OMG!! They are the best UA-camrs in the world! All their videos motivate me! Love you both

omg guys finally.... ive been missing you!!😘❤
You guys are awesome!
These gentlemen are absolutely delightful. I will get back to work on my project now.
The last tip, number 8, is so true! Starting on a Monday has some magic to it, I knocked down two tests I needed to take because I started Monday! It's nice, good to schedule out. Goals are great grades and maintain healthy relationships with friends and family. Great tips, thanks you two!
This is exactly what I needed today. In fact, I just might change my profile from 'challenge denied' to 'challenge accepted'.You guys are awesome, thanks for the motivation!
WHY THIS WASN'T RECOMMENDED TO ME SINCE THE BEGINING URGH IM DYING I LUV THESE GUYS
When studying, moving to different environments keeps me motivated
Thank you!!
You guys are so adorable! Thanks for the tips!
My New Year's resolution is to be more productive. Part of my motivation for that is writing down what I need to do in a day the night before, rather than just saying, "Oh! I have to remember to do that tomorrow." It's also a bit of a reward when everything is crossed off.
You're awesome. this is just what a needed today :)
I was so lost about some things and this helped me a lot.
thanks!!!!!
You guys are so freaking adorable!!! I love you guys.
thank god you guys posted this i have a bio test tmr bless your souls omg
2:28 "Wait... You can make coffee?" Best line EVER!
I like that this video included references in the description to what was said.
I totally love your videos. They're great and full of constructive knowledge. Lot's of love Greg and Mitch. 😆
It's funny how in your asapscience video you recommended this one by saying 'need some motivation for that assignment that is due tomorrow?' and that was EXACTLY what i needed! Thank you again! :)
you guys have good chemistry with one another. i think ill keep watching your channel
This is the best, most helpful, video ever.
Love the thing about taking breaks. I try to tell my friends who study for 8 hours straight that they're really not getting full productivity but they don't believe me!
Some of my resolutions:
1. Wake up and stay up at 6:00 am. Get one productive task done in the morning before work.
2. Improve work-life balance. At the moment, I do not have any hobbies that I pursue on a consistent basis. I attribute this to my "crazy work schedule" but I know I could do a better job. So my specific task is to involve better accountability (e.g. sign myself up classes in sports/music/fitness). I struggle with accountability a lot because many of my close friends do not live near me; ergo, there are not a lot of people I can coerce (I mean convince) to be my accountability partner in hobbies I want to pursue. #workingonit.
Thanks, guys! Very appropriate video for the new year! :)
evidence based advice, and you guys are so charismatic! love this channel.
