-Don't multitask -Don't study on your bed -Study in silence Me: *Doing my homework on bed while watching this video while my cousins are screaming outside* 👁️👄👁️...
The thing is I'm a pretty anxious person, especially when I'm alone. I literally can't study without some music. I actually perfer some videos or the TV on the background to make me feel like I have company. Kinda weird but if it's silent I get super anxious and tend to quit or panic.
Studying with some background noises is nice and i do that pretty often but more often than not i got distracted and sit still, daydreaming rather than focusing on my task lol. So i prefer silence when seriously studying for exams. But blasting some music while drawing is hella fun:)))
you can try body doubling (virtual or in person). I find it super hard to study due to my adhd and the only thing that can get me to do it is body doubling. (if you don't know what it is its basically having someone in the same room you study in. ie a friend, family member, partner, etc)
1- have clear goals, don't just simply study with no end goal. 2- Don't try to focus on two things at one, and try to avoid background noise. 3- Use active study methods. Don't just highlight or rewrite notes, that's passive. 4- Try harder question, don't just do what's easy and what you already know you know. Identify your weak points and then Focus on patching them up. 5- Make a space JUST for studying. don't study in your bed! Make a desk for studying so your brain can immediately associate studying with certain locations and this will help you motivate yourself. Make it COMFORTABLE and COZY. 6- get help! Work on your difficulties and look for resources by yourself, but if you really need outside help, don't hesistate to ask. Ask a REAL person, not from the internet.

This sounds familiar XD. I've been watching/reading about 'how to study' and also ran into some of these aesthetic videos. I'm finding that a lot of them do give some good tips and advice. Using that advice and those tips requires practice and willpower though. My brain is out of practice and has years of bad habits (f.e. only focusing for a short while on a superficial thing that I'm curious about, not doing any harder thinking like abstract or logical stuff or trying to connect the dots, not actively trying to remember things), and I never learned how to study effectively in my years of going to school because they never taught me and I didn't know there were better methods out there. But now I know there's different ways and I've found stuff that I really want to learn, so I'm working on re-training my brain. Aaaand yes, I do get distracted after 2 minutes or reading 3 sentences. Ooor pick up my book, and then put it away again to 'check something' or go do something else instead. But if I keep at it; keep picking up the book, minimizing distractions, keep trying to read, make a nice cozy place to study in, and do more of the tips and advice that I've found, I'll get better. And so you will you :D! Remember, tiny foxtato believes in you! You can do the thing!
It might be irrelevant but I was just like you. I knew I needed help tho cause I kept on procrastinating... Then I started watching those "live study with me" videos ok yt and idk it helped me so much... I for real started focusing more. So, uhm, I suggest to try it if you're struggling too :)

a terrible study habit: actually watching youtube videos while I'm pretending to study, or even worse while I'm supposed to be in class. Yes, I'm actually in online class right now
Studying method that has been helpful for me: 1. take notes that contain relevant information. Don't fill your notes to the brim with every word, but instead focus on what the instructor is saying and what they are emphasizing. This is more than likely going to be what's on the test. 2. Organize your notes into distinct topics with headers that summarize the topic. For example, if there's a section about Romantic symbolism in Romeo and Juliet, then the header may be "Romantic Symbolism in Romeo and Juliet". 3. use those distinct headers as prompts, and pretend you're teaching someone else. Cover the info that is written below the headers, and practice using that brief header to explain the topic in depth. Jump around to different topics, make sure you can do it succinctly, and eventually, you'll be able to recall the important info from step 1 just by looking at a few key words. You'll associate those key words with the important info. This is a great way to turn note-reading into an active method, instead of just passively reading.
so right...i feel like trying to make everything super pretty and aesthetically pleasing is just really ineffective, so now i just try to make neat notes and use active recall
That’s so true. When I listen to music during my studies, I often stuck in one question. And only after a while I realise that music is distracting me, so then I take off my earphones and do a task in a minute.
The best thing about end goals is that it tells you when to stop, so you'd be motivated to begin and give you peace of mind when you're under great pressure (for an exam let's say). Found this out during my Chinese high school entrance exam, otherwise it's just endless panic.
The fact that Jasmine took the time to change locations for each habit and made the video so aesthetically nice shows the dedication she puts on her videos
Saw this now and I feel called out, but the sad thing is I have been seeking help, but well there's no one who could help me personally right now. It stresses me more that I know so little of our subject and I do want help but no one is there. Even told my father that I'm struggling in a certain subject but says nothing
I highly suggest watching the video for more information, but here’s the main points and timestamps if you’re short on time (hopefully because you want to study!) *1:33** - Forgetting to set goals and plans for studying.* Goals are important so that you can be more efficient while organizing your information and studying. ~2:13 - Instead, determine your and create a plan to reach the goal. *4:07** - Multitasking during study time.* Physiologically, your brain can’t multitask. So it takes more time to do the activities at the same time, rather than completing them individually. ~5:24 - Instead, focus on one task at a time. ~5:40 - Try studying without background noise, or with music that does not contain lyrics, such as ambient noise. *5:53** - Passive study methods.* These include rereading notes or your textbook. It’s more important to be able to recall information instead of just recognizing it in your notes. ~6:49 - Instead, use active studying methods, such as flashcards and practice tests. *7:21** - Only doing what’s easy.* Challenging yourself helps you learn! ~8:45 - Identify your weak points and address them. A good way to identify weak points is by doing a practice test. *9:20** - Studying in bed.* Our brains normally consider our beds a place to relax or sleep. ~10:41 - Pick a spot and make it your designated spot to study. Try making it cozy and happy so you’re encouraged to study! *11:49** - Always refusing help from others or neglect asking for help.* You can interact with people, which is much better than looking for answers online. ~12:35 - Overcome mental roadblocks like pride. Everyone needs help sometimes! People have different knowledge, so you can share your knowledge with each other. Keep in mind, some of these might work for you, and that’s okay. They are general guidelines to help you determine your studying issues. Have a nice time studying, everyone!
I watched the whole video, but I really appreciate your effort into writing this! It must've taken time. Thanks very much 😄😄for helping someone else out.
Yeah no problem! I figured that it would be helpful for those who wanted a quick summary. Plus sometimes I like to come back and look at the tips again, so it is easier to have them written down rather than watching the entire video. I'm sure other people do the same. Have a nice day guys :)
I got scared when she said not to listen to music cuz it really helps me focus but then she said it could be without lyrics. Lofi is amazingly soothing
The best thing that always helps me is trying to pretend to teach it to someone. When I'm at home I teach my dog and literally a day before the test I teach some of my classmates (while the teacher listens in so they can correct me if I'm wrong)
Great video! I have ASD (potentially ADHD also) and I need to listen to music without words, it gives myself something to 'focus' on and stops myself from becoming distracted because I'm 'focused' on the music while studying.
I really agree your last point Jasmine! I used to be shyyy and literally just ignore those topic that I just... can't do but here I am telling you guys to ASK! JUST ASK for real no one cares and some teachers are really surprisingly nice! (My teacher recorded a video specially for me about solving a past year paper and I'm quite shock about the effort my teacher put in!) It may be hard asking for the first time but it'll get better! And add some joy to your studying as well~ Good luck everyone
Yes!! Spot on. Would also add that any teacher or TA or whatever who cares or gets pissy at you or thinks you're stupid bc you _asked for help_ is a jerk anyway lmao, so who cares if they care. 😂
agreed 100%. if anything, asking for help in school will prepare you for when you need to ask for help when you start working. i never asked for help bc i didn't want to be a burden to anyone & i'm paying the price for it now lol. bc when you start working, the actions you take have real-life consequences & when you screw up, you're not just affecting your own grades like in school...
i told my chemistry teacher i didn't understand the lesson and she said what am i supposed to do i always ask at the end of the class if anyone's confused but you don't say anything how's that my fault... ugh bc i dont understand from start to finish girl- she's not even good.
@@yasmin-lx4kb tbh my physics is horrible i got C or fail every single time, and i spent one whole month just revising physics by myself it was hard really...(I self-learned almost 15 chapters) im sure you can try self-learning! (please try before its too late) You can search up on UA-cam or google anything you dont understand and ask your friend! I learned almost everything through Khan Academy that time (before i started taking tuition aka extra class) plus not to mention the teacher that recorded the pastyear is my tuition teacher not my class teacher (you can consider learning from different teacher if your family allow!) all the best!
omg i am soooo guilty of only doing the easy questions, especially when doing review stations in math class! i didn't even really realize that i did that until now, so thank you!
Music with lyrics actually helps me ground myself to the work more because I tend to zone out a lot while trying to focus because I'm thinking about the topic and then it just branches out to something else and then 5 minutes later I'm thinking about the super Mario overworld theme sounding like green green.
Terrible study habits to avoid *1. Forgetting to set up goals* If you don't set up goals, you don't know what to study so you just wander around *2. Multitasking* Always focus on one thing. Including listening to music, it can distract you. Avoid sounds that can distract you, like TV sounds. *3. Passive study methods (re-reading)* Use active studying techniques, such as: - Flashcards - Practice tests - Teaching a friend *4. Only doing what's easy* Identify and address your weak points and focus on that topic. How to know your weak points: Take a full practice exam of that material (available online, taking tests from old midterms) and take a close look of what you tend to get wrong (certain topic or type of question) *5. Studying in bed* Studies have shown that if you learn the information and study in the same place as you are going to take the test (such as in the same classroom, same desk, etc.), you'll do better on that test. And of course, studying in bed can make you feel sleepy, or you even might fall asleep. Instead, create a comfy and productive workspace. Stay far from distractions (such as phones, TVs, etc.), and stay close to your studying essentials (notebook, textbooks, stationeries, etc.) *6. Refusing to get help* Start off by working through your difficulties individually and look for resources by yourself that way you don't get overly dependent on anybody else. But at a certain time, it might be time to acknowledge that you need outside help from a real person, not just Google and others. Teachers, tutors, or study groups have actual knowledge that they can help share with you, and you can actually interact with them, unlike the internet. So don't be afraid to ask help, because everyone needs help. Asking for help doesn't mean that you don't know enough or smart enough. People might sometimes be shy, but just remember, people generally want to help you, especially teachers and tutors because they are generally very nice and helpful people and they are made to help people with problems they can't solve themselves.
to the multitasking: there’s also research that some people (especially more extroverted ones) need more stimuli to work at their best, so to some degree background noise does help some people :)
yeah as someone with adhd, I can't study withought having something else to also 'focus' on (especially if the subject is boring or not engaging enough for me)
I can't emphasize how many times I have to tell my friends that reaching out to professors doesn't lessen their value as a student, it was the most challenging yet rewarding thing I've learned since starting college! I will say, it does require a level of understanding of where you got lost in the material and trying to convey that in words can be REALLY difficult
summery: have a plan dont multitask read ahead dont just do the easy things. get out of your comfort zone. work on your weakness. try active study dont study in bed get help from a real person (teacher, tutor, study groups etc.)
i just watched the entire video and i am so happy, a few months ago i was really struggling with stress and bad studying habits and i just realized i stopped doing them all and im not stressed anymore !
Omg SO happy to see you call out re-writing notes! I feel like the visual studygram content out there is 98% aesthetic rewritten notes, and I tried it, like 3 years ago, but it was completely useless to me.
About the multitasking thing, you said that listening to music can be included too, but i have a tip about it! You just need to listen song without words, like piano things, or in a language that you don't know :D
Thank you! It's really nice to actually hear these things. I never realised I was sabotaging myself I always study in bed, I can stay up for long time and when I fall asleep I take it as a signal from my body. Actually I feel more awake when I study on my desk… I don't fall asleep so I actually feel like a mummy in the morning.
for the multi tasking bit- for me i just play quiet rain noises, sometimes w birds or fire crackling in the background and it gaves me a comfier safe space to learn and study
You’re such an inspiration, Jasmine! 🌟 I’m in grad school, currently working on my year long thesis, so I spend all my time in the lab. I feel like I have no free time at the moment, but when I have a few minutes to spare, I enjoy watching your videos 🥰
I can just imagine walking by and seeing someone you watch on UA-cam. and are to scared to talk to them. I refuse to believe that there was at least one person like that Also lots of love from Australia ❤️❤️❤️ you are so helpful.
Thank you for this video! I was an awesome studier until my sophomore year in HS when I started watching UA-cam regularly. Now I find myself stuck with several very bad study habits as a senior and I am determined to get rid of them, which you are definitely helping me do.
Guys, I just can't improve myself. No matter what. I can't stop procrastinating. I can't study consistently. I waste time. My major reason for procrastinating is anxiety, thinking about studying makes me so anxious, makes my chest hurt because I've always made plans and I've never went through them. I'm always pulling all nighters and cramming, always studying right before the deadline or when I'm under a large amount of pressure so my brain has just associated even the thought of studying with a lot of stress. I want to improve myslef. But I can't. I'm tired of myself. I hate myself. Why can't I just build the habit of studying everyday? Why can't I manage my time well? Why do I get do anxious all the time? 😭 I want someone, _anyone_ to help.
I can say that first one about setting a goal, I have not thought to do that. So simple but so rare. To have a goal is one of the most important elements to success.
i just discovered your channel during an academic anxiety crisis™ and i have to say i'm loving how you structure your videos! besides the content, this organization is an inspiration in itself
One tip I have is to listen to music in a foreign language (such as K-pop) if you like to listen to music with lyrics. You won't fixate on the lyrics because you can't understand them, and I find the music can be more energising than classical music or white noise.
I agree to these but we need to remember something my teach told me: "Mental health is more important than studying. You are trying your best and thats what matters. Make space to relax to help your anxiety." That is very true
uuuh.. I always listen to music while studying, otherwise I can't concentrate xD it actually helps me memorize stuff because I listen to the same playlist and when I listen to it before I go into the exam, my brain automatically revisits the stuff I've been learning while listening to this music ^^
so this is actually my first study session today. ive actually never studied before since ive never had any problems with just learning stuff at school while the teacher is teaching, but science is really hard for me and i have a test in a week so yea... anyways, heres what im doing: watching a video that my teacher suggested adding additional info to my notes re-writing my notes (i have to do this anyways since i don't understand the ones i took in class) searching up questions doing a random quiz i found online reviewing what i got wrong writing notes about that redoing the quiz
My school started 3 days ago and my teachers are teaching the whole school about organization and my teacher is OBSESSED with your videos and he's shown us 1 every day

Studying method that has been helpful for me:
1. take notes that contain relevant information.
Don't fill your notes to the brim with every word, but instead focus on what the instructor is saying and what they are emphasizing. This is more than likely going to be what's on the test.
2. Organize your notes into distinct topics with headers that summarize the topic.
For example, if there's a section about Romantic symbolism in Romeo and Juliet, then the header may be "Romantic Symbolism in Romeo and Juliet".
3. use those distinct headers as prompts, and pretend you're teaching someone else.
Cover the info that is written below the headers, and practice using that brief header to explain the topic in depth. Jump around to different topics, make sure you can do it succinctly, and eventually, you'll be able to recall the important info from step 1 just by looking at a few key words. You'll associate those key words with the important info.
This is a great way to turn note-reading into an active method, instead of just passively reading.
I learnt this the hard way... I have a book full of notes that are useless and spent half of my 10th grade on it😐😐
so right...i feel like trying to make everything super pretty and aesthetically pleasing is just really ineffective, so now i just try to make neat notes and use active recall
I agree it’s best to write down what you’ll forget or don’t understand also keeping it simple is usually better.
I like too connect the information and it helps me remember later
Ok
I was gonna say “jasmine you didn’t need to call me out like this smh 💀” but..like.. you really *did* need to call me out 😔🧍🏻♀️
hello jasmine
I was the 100th like on this comment! Congrats lol.
how are you doing today jasmine (my name is also jasmine-lol)
@@grr9357 hello emotionally unstable piece of paper, how are you?
@@abianash ah ty ty
That’s so true. When I listen to music during my studies, I often stuck in one question. And only after a while I realise that music is distracting me, so then I take off my earphones and do a task in a minute.
I do. Why you asked ?
The best thing about end goals is that it tells you when to stop, so you'd be motivated to begin and give you peace of mind when you're under great pressure (for an exam let's say). Found this out during my Chinese high school entrance exam, otherwise it's just endless panic.
Jasmine: multitasking is not effective
Me while listening to a podcast, doing homework and trying to perfect my Cypher rap: oops?
I hope u and tae will soon get the part!!
@@tanmayik2397 lol if i do, i would die happy....
YES CYPHER RAP
KSLSKS YES CYPHER
armies are multitasking asf 😔
The fact that Jasmine took the time to change locations for each habit and made the video so aesthetically nice shows the dedication she puts on her videos
the power you have is immaculate... SPONSORED BY THE COLLEGE BOARD?!
Saw this now and I feel called out, but the sad thing is I have been seeking help, but well there's no one who could help me personally right now. It stresses me more that I know so little of our subject and I do want help but no one is there. Even told my father that I'm struggling in a certain subject but says nothing
POV: You are watching this when you're supposed to be studying...
Lol yea..

I highly suggest watching the video for more information, but here’s the main points and timestamps if you’re short on time (hopefully because you want to study!)
*1:33** - Forgetting to set goals and plans for studying.*
Goals are important so that you can be more efficient while organizing your information and studying.
~2:13 - Instead, determine your and create a plan to reach the goal.
*4:07** - Multitasking during study time.*
Physiologically, your brain can’t multitask. So it takes more time to do the activities at the same time, rather than completing them individually.
~5:24 - Instead, focus on one task at a time.
~5:40 - Try studying without background noise, or with music that does not contain lyrics, such as ambient noise.
*5:53** - Passive study methods.*
These include rereading notes or your textbook. It’s more important to be able to recall information instead of just recognizing it in your notes.
~6:49 - Instead, use active studying methods, such as flashcards and practice tests.
*7:21** - Only doing what’s easy.*
Challenging yourself helps you learn!
~8:45 - Identify your weak points and address them. A good way to identify weak points is by doing a practice test.
*9:20** - Studying in bed.*
Our brains normally consider our beds a place to relax or sleep.
~10:41 - Pick a spot and make it your designated spot to study. Try making it cozy and happy so you’re encouraged to study!
*11:49** - Always refusing help from others or neglect asking for help.*
You can interact with people, which is much better than looking for answers online.
~12:35 - Overcome mental roadblocks like pride. Everyone needs help sometimes! People have different knowledge, so you can share your knowledge with each other.
Keep in mind, some of these might work for you, and that’s okay. They are general guidelines to help you determine your studying issues.
Have a nice time studying, everyone!
I watched the whole video, but I really appreciate your effort into writing this! It must've taken time.
Thanks very much 😄😄for helping someone else out.
Wow thanks 🥰
Yeah no problem! I figured that it would be helpful for those who wanted a quick summary.
Plus sometimes I like to come back and look at the tips again, so it is easier to have them written down rather than watching the entire video. I'm sure other people do the same. Have a nice day guys :)
This is so awesomeee,,thankss
Omg you're an angel! Thankyouuuuu
"Avoid background noises"
Me *religously listening to her Spotify Study playlist* uuhhh
Same
I got scared when she said not to listen to music cuz it really helps me focus but then she said it could be without lyrics.
Lofi is amazingly soothing
It is. I low the chilled cow compliations
@@kyleyyy same
yesss lofi mixes are great! i love feardog music’s mixes!!
@@cathlinap650 my fave is the “you’re the dream I never wanna wake up from” mix by feardog (this was totally random)
Chillhope mixes tho :( i listened to them twice today while studying 💞
Classical music is great for studying and has been proven to help! There’s also tons of playlists without lyrics to help you study
i love the way she speaks, its just so... soothing and calms down my anxiety
The best thing that always helps me is trying to pretend to teach it to someone. When I'm at home I teach my dog and literally a day before the test I teach some of my classmates (while the teacher listens in so they can correct me if I'm wrong)
I Don’t really have a dog but I do with a stuffed animal or plushies of mine and that helps a lot too
Exactly! I teach imaginary kids...
@@idiotsandwichthe1st samee

Bruh you just gave me an anxiety attack, please refrain from reminding me of the real world while I’m here. Thank you
This is legit me-
I have 3 tests due at the end of the week 👁️👄👁️
Literally same bro I have so many readings to do for tomorrow and I’m sitting here in bed like🤫 🍿
Im in high school and procrastinating is killing me and my family keeps arguing so I can't focus 😌😌😌😌
Lmaooo felt that
omg relate max! i actually found this real time aesthetic study video which is perfect!! check it out? ua-cam.com/video/s5EQIIaSy-8/v-deo.html
CAN RELATE
I don't know where are you from but I guess there might be libraries or some kind of centers where you can go study

“multitasking is not that effective”

@@R3FL3CTI0NS. you can't be serious
I’ll try to quit these habits hopefully there will be improvement when im studying
Me going throught the question paper: "hey I've seen that before, maybe I know that"
Me when I try to write it's answer: *confused noises*
I read it at the same time she said that
Just go with your gut at first try not to think about it. Then fix and add knowledge as you study
"how am i famous enough to do this?" 🤣
Great video! I have ASD (potentially ADHD also) and I need to listen to music without words, it gives myself something to 'focus' on and stops myself from becoming distracted because I'm 'focused' on the music while studying.
"Multitasking is not effective"
Me who learns better when multitasking: 👽
Me too! Ambiance music, wordless music, light (Hogwarts) asmr, videos I already have seen... I study so much better
Wake I am always moving and I can’t sit in one place. So I like using stuff like fidgets to helps get the energy out while studying.
Same 🤡
2:11 minutes in and I already love this
"to apply that to studying, you need to know WHAT you need to know"
I really agree your last point Jasmine! I used to be shyyy and literally just ignore those topic that I just... can't do but here I am telling you guys to ASK! JUST ASK for real no one cares and some teachers are really surprisingly nice! (My teacher recorded a video specially for me about solving a past year paper and I'm quite shock about the effort my teacher put in!) It may be hard asking for the first time but it'll get better! And add some joy to your studying as well~ Good luck everyone
Yes!! Spot on. Would also add that any teacher or TA or whatever who cares or gets pissy at you or thinks you're stupid bc you _asked for help_ is a jerk anyway lmao, so who cares if they care. 😂
agreed 100%. if anything, asking for help in school will prepare you for when you need to ask for help when you start working. i never asked for help bc i didn't want to be a burden to anyone & i'm paying the price for it now lol. bc when you start working, the actions you take have real-life consequences & when you screw up, you're not just affecting your own grades like in school...
i told my chemistry teacher i didn't understand the lesson and she said what am i supposed to do i always ask at the end of the class if anyone's confused but you don't say anything how's that my fault... ugh bc i dont understand from start to finish girl- she's not even good.
@@yasmin-lx4kb what is it with chemistry teachers being assholes lmao mine was like that as well
@@yasmin-lx4kb tbh my physics is horrible i got C or fail every single time, and i spent one whole month just revising physics by myself it was hard really...(I self-learned almost 15 chapters) im sure you can try self-learning! (please try before its too late) You can search up on UA-cam or google anything you dont understand and ask your friend! I learned almost everything through Khan Academy that time (before i started taking tuition aka extra class) plus not to mention the teacher that recorded the pastyear is my tuition teacher not my class teacher (you can consider learning from different teacher if your family allow!) all the best!
omg i am soooo guilty of only doing the easy questions, especially when doing review stations in math class! i didn't even really realize that i did that until now, so thank you!
"stop refusing to get help" wow you really gonna come for my neck like that
Music with lyrics actually helps me ground myself to the work more because I tend to zone out a lot while trying to focus because I'm thinking about the topic and then it just branches out to something else and then 5 minutes later I'm thinking about the super Mario overworld theme sounding like green green.
Terrible study habits to avoid
*1. Forgetting to set up goals*
If you don't set up goals, you don't know what to study so you just wander around
*2. Multitasking*
Always focus on one thing. Including listening to music, it can distract you. Avoid sounds that can distract you, like TV sounds.
*3. Passive study methods (re-reading)*
Use active studying techniques, such as:
- Flashcards
- Practice tests
- Teaching a friend
*4. Only doing what's easy*
Identify and address your weak points and focus on that topic.
How to know your weak points:
Take a full practice exam of that material (available online, taking tests from old midterms) and take a close look of what you tend to get wrong (certain topic or type of question)
*5. Studying in bed*
Studies have shown that if you learn the information and study in the same place as you are going to take the test (such as in the same classroom, same desk, etc.), you'll do better on that test. And of course, studying in bed can make you feel sleepy, or you even might fall asleep. Instead, create a comfy and productive workspace. Stay far from distractions (such as phones, TVs, etc.), and stay close to your studying essentials (notebook, textbooks, stationeries, etc.)
*6. Refusing to get help*
Start off by working through your difficulties individually and look for resources by yourself that way you don't get overly dependent on anybody else. But at a certain time, it might be time to acknowledge that you need outside help from a real person, not just Google and others. Teachers, tutors, or study groups have actual knowledge that they can help share with you, and you can actually interact with them, unlike the internet. So don't be afraid to ask help, because everyone needs help. Asking for help doesn't mean that you don't know enough or smart enough. People might sometimes be shy, but just remember, people generally want to help you, especially teachers and tutors because they are generally very nice and helpful people and they are made to help people with problems they can't solve themselves.
tbh I find those “Lofi beats to study and relax to” livestream videos useful while studying / doing school work because my house is never quiet lol
to the multitasking: there’s also research that some people (especially more extroverted ones) need more stimuli to work at their best, so to some degree background noise does help some people :)
yeah as someone with adhd, I can't study withought having something else to also 'focus' on (especially if the subject is boring or not engaging enough for me)
Yeah also I personally prefer hearing noisy music that I'm already familiar with instead of like, hearing my family talking or the noise from the tv
I can't emphasize how many times I have to tell my friends that reaching out to professors doesn't lessen their value as a student, it was the most challenging yet rewarding thing I've learned since starting college! I will say, it does require a level of understanding of where you got lost in the material and trying to convey that in words can be REALLY difficult
summery:
have a plan
dont multitask
read ahead
dont just do the easy things. get out of your comfort zone. work on your weakness.
try active study
dont study in bed
get help from a real person (teacher, tutor, study groups etc.)

"Do not study in your bed and multitask". Me: doing both right now.
i just watched the entire video and i am so happy, a few months ago i was really struggling with stress and bad studying habits and i just realized i stopped doing them all and im not stressed anymore !
You are so well spoken and humble and you are totally going places, friend! Thank you for this!
Omg SO happy to see you call out re-writing notes! I feel like the visual studygram content out there is 98% aesthetic rewritten notes, and I tried it, like 3 years ago, but it was completely useless to me.
I just got back on my computer and saw this posted 1 minute ago; what timing
that moment when you realize ur multitasking watching this video and doing ur homework..
About the multitasking thing, you said that listening to music can be included too, but i have a tip about it! You just need to listen song without words, like piano things, or in a language that you don't know :D
*I study in bed a lot--not laying down but sitting upright. I've noticed it makes my day sleepy...Thanks*

Thank you! It's really nice to actually hear these things.
I never realised I was sabotaging myself
I always study in bed, I can stay up for long time and when I fall asleep I take it as a signal from my body.
Actually I feel more awake when I study on my desk… I don't fall asleep so I actually feel like a mummy in the morning.
for the multi tasking bit- for me i just play quiet rain noises, sometimes w birds or fire crackling in the background and it gaves me a comfier safe space to learn and study

You’re such an inspiration, Jasmine! 🌟 I’m in grad school, currently working on my year long thesis, so I spend all my time in the lab. I feel like I have no free time at the moment, but when I have a few minutes to spare, I enjoy watching your videos 🥰
Other than finding out that classes are canceled, this was a great thing to wake up to🌞💛
Study groups helped me so much. I just finished my first year of university, and having people that help me focus helps immensely.
my adhd brain will not function without music i'll just get up a thousand times before i finish writing a single sentence
I can just imagine walking by and seeing someone you watch on UA-cam. and are to scared to talk to them.
I refuse to believe that there was at least one person like that
Also lots of love from Australia ❤️❤️❤️ you are so helpful.
Me: finished my postgrad this year
Jasmine: here’s study habits you need to quit
Me: ok
“Study where you will take the exam”
Third mistake: don’t study in bed
Me in 2020 with online classes: I study in bed 😭
Thank you for this video! I was an awesome studier until my sophomore year in HS when I started watching UA-cam regularly. Now I find myself stuck with several very bad study habits as a senior and I am determined to get rid of them, which you are definitely helping me do.
I'm glad you called me out without being passive aggressive
Omg the camera quality 🤩 especially outside
As an Optometrist myself, I would highly recommend to avoid looking at bright screens beginning two to three hours before bed whilst you're studying.
Guys, I just can't improve myself. No matter what. I can't stop procrastinating. I can't study consistently. I waste time. My major reason for procrastinating is anxiety, thinking about studying makes me so anxious, makes my chest hurt because I've always made plans and I've never went through them. I'm always pulling all nighters and cramming, always studying right before the deadline or when I'm under a large amount of pressure so my brain has just associated even the thought of studying with a lot of stress. I want to improve myslef. But I can't. I'm tired of myself. I hate myself. Why can't I just build the habit of studying everyday? Why can't I manage my time well? Why do I get do anxious all the time? 😭 I want someone, _anyone_ to help.
I related to this too much
Therapy
I can say that first one about setting a goal, I have not thought to do that. So simple but so rare. To have a goal is one of the most important elements to success.
i just discovered your channel during an academic anxiety crisis™ and i have to say i'm loving how you structure your videos! besides the content, this organization is an inspiration in itself
One tip I have is to listen to music in a foreign language (such as K-pop) if you like to listen to music with lyrics. You won't fixate on the lyrics because you can't understand them, and I find the music can be more energising than classical music or white noise.
Problem is that I have to stand up to do the choreography. Yeah, my mind has its "attention priorities" . HAHAHAHAHAHA just sharing

HOLY CRAP, THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. IT'S REALLY INTERESTING AND CAN HELP PEOPLE IMPROVE THEIR METHODS IN STUDYING!
her: dont multitask
me with adhd not being able to focus without background noise: uhhhh
Background noise ≠ multitasking. As someone who fidgets and multitasks.
one can read and highlight stuff while actively absorbing everything. it works if you really focus on what you‘re reading and try to understand it.
I agree to these but we need to remember something my teach told me: "Mental health is more important than studying. You are trying your best and thats what matters. Make space to relax to help your anxiety." That is very true
wow I’m early for once
also her background is so prettyyy
uuuh.. I always listen to music while studying, otherwise I can't concentrate xD it actually helps me memorize stuff because I listen to the same playlist and when I listen to it before I go into the exam, my brain automatically revisits the stuff I've been learning while listening to this music ^^
so this is actually my first study session today. ive actually never studied before since ive never had any problems with just learning stuff at school while the teacher is teaching, but science is really hard for me and i have a test in a week so yea...
anyways, heres what im doing:
watching a video that my teacher suggested
adding additional info to my notes
re-writing my notes (i have to do this anyways since i don't understand the ones i took in class)
searching up questions
doing a random quiz i found online
reviewing what i got wrong
writing notes about that
redoing the quiz
My school started 3 days ago and my teachers are teaching the whole school about organization and my teacher is OBSESSED with your videos and he's shown us 1 every day
