    “When I take break, I don’t go on social media or UA-cam and watch random videos.” Me on my study break watching this UA-cam video. Oops. Lol

    To quote the creator in this video:
    - Don't reward yourself with unhealthy habits.
    - Don't think Studying is a barrier for fun and comfort (I am so this person)
    Train your mind and body that, studying is making you a better person and promising better future.
    So well said Jimmy! Thank you for this wonderful and impactful video.

    I'm already a doctor, but still studying for exams since it never ends... (trying for the MCCQE1 this year). I admire the dedication you show. I wish I could have been like this when I was in medical school ;)

  • @aadhyasingh451

    Best line: Studying is not a barrier to fun but its making you a better person.

    7:13 This is so true, I'm an engineering student but I'm afraid of physics ever since I got bad grades in one of my high school exams and kept thinking I wasn't good at it even though it was just because I didn't prepare enough.

    Playing videogames in a healthy and proper way, can be a good reward. It works for me. I dont play often or everyday, but everyweek i try to enjoy few hours and destroy everything in Battlefield, CoH2 or even Red Dead R. 2! lol
    Great video, doc.!

    Your channel is hands down my best discovery of 2020. You clearly put a lot of thought and effort into all your videos, providing us with the best content we could ask for. You are so motivating and really pushing me to improve my study habits and overall my lifestyle. Thank you and don’t stop what you’re doing ❤️

  • @j6562

    On your last tip about properly rewarding yourself ... I've been rewarding myself with games and I didn't realize that I was essentially making my brain despise studying and telling me that studying keeps me from having fun. Now that you brought it up - it makes so much sense!! Do you have any suggestions on how I can integrate a proper study/fun balance? I'm kind of lost on how to properly execute this! Love your video :)

    • @kdbooks6874
      @kdbooks6874 3 роки тому +3

      You could reward yourself by buying some stationaries (something you could afford and wouldn't strain your finances.)

    • @ameliarose47
      @ameliarose47 3 роки тому +6

      Maybe instead of rewarding yourself with being able to play games, you could reward yourself with getting new games? Obviously wouldn't be able to do it every single session (unless you're rich lol) but maybe after reaching a certain goal. Or maybe make the reward something that pairs well with playing games, like a special drink or snack to go with it. Or just switching up the reward every time so it's something new so your brain doesn't associate it with any one specific thing, just that you get some kind of random reward.

    • @gestucvolonor5069
      @gestucvolonor5069 3 роки тому +10

      Yeah what I find is that you just have to cut back on games regardless. Last month I was pulling 6 hour study days consistently for the entire month up until I resubbed to World of Warcraft. I tried to keep a balance and play 2 hours a day, but I wasn't strong enough I just spiraled out of control now this month I have a very hard time focusing even after I cancelled my sub. Your brain will always choose the fast and easy dopamine, instead of normal. TBF I always had a had time balancing these, so you might be different, but for me it's like training a dog. If you encourage a bad habit once, it will expect it the next time, so you just have to never encourage it.

    After years of working on actual productivity solutions, and watching dozens of videos that unsuccessfully try to help this stuff, I can vouch that this is a genuinely excellent video. There is no magic bullet and this video covers a good range of the solutions.
