I studied engineering and I was scared to read anything beyond my syllabus books.I used to be so unhappy and stressed coz I was running away from what I wanted. You have encouraged me to embrace my creative side and explore it too.We are human beings and made up of different elements,not just one.
Youve been my role model recently, ive found your channel om YT about over a month ago and the content you posted caught my eye. I was already in the mindset of CHANGE, and i knew i needed a change in my life with my social/academic/home life and i was alwayss hesitant at first bc i didnt know where to start. With your videos, ive used your tips and what not bout studying and jus living life theRIGHT way where id have to take care of my mind andbody. And man im tellin ya my life is so much better after coming across your channel in just a few weeks!. My life is not even remotely the same as what it used to be.. i never cared for school at the slightest bit, i always tried to rush in and out of school but now ive opened my eyes to a whole new woorld of endless possibilities and now ive found a huge intrest in science and have begun improving so many different parts of my life. My biggest goal is to finish high school with me bringing up my grades as much as i can to get into a great college to study medicine. I took time to write this to let you know youve impacted my life amazingly and i apprecaite everything youve done homie. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND CONTINUE TO DO YOU FAM Peace
great video john - this reminds me of my college days... i'd re-arrange my room once or twice a year to keep things fresh. crazy what something as simple as moving some furniture around can do to a workspace.
@@thejohnfish i have a question. My exams are in 10 days and I cant study. I dont have much space in my room to move my desk or other things around. i usually produce music on this desk. Ive kept all mt guitars and speakers away but my pianos still here as i dont have space to move it. i used to study well on the couch but we moved houses and its noisy in the living room. My question is that is is ok to study on the desk where i produce music
Very true John. The environment thing. I can say that I had similar experiences where my behaviors were related to the environment. Keep up the good work!
I found your channel a while ago and there is something about you that's really pleasing. I know it has nothing to do with the topic of the video but it's hard to find people like you that draw us in only with their eyes and mind. I see myself a lot in yourself, this place where there is acceptance but also will to grow and that could never get tired of improving and learning. I hope you realize how much of an inspiration you are.
You know what- You are going to be a great person and even more you are going to be a great guardian. You know what is bothering you, you know how to tackle them, you know things. It's really inspiring to me. Thank you
Two years back then I felt upset every time I watcher your videos bc your so smart and motivated all the time. I felt lost not being like you. Two years later when I rewatched this video, I just realized how much I’ve changed-I no longer compared myself to others but started to take in every piece of your advice genuinely. Your videos have always been inspirations for me. I don’t binge watch tons of UA-cam videos but I definitely check yours once in a while. Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful reflections with us!
Your channel is seriously the best channel I’ve found! Your content is useful and helps people! Instead of just entertainment you’re trying to help your subs by giving them great tips to make life better! I’ve only been subscribed for maybe a month now but what I’ve watch I just think is great!
In my college, despite it is a good one, we cannot move anything inside the room. For this reason I associated my desk with reading or study aloud, library (if there is place to seat) with study the subject, taking notes, and bed to sleep and watching stuff. Here in Italy its sunny pretty much all the days now, and most of the time I really like to go out, walk, seat on the grass and read something, whether study or my fav. author, Isaac Asimov. If I can suggest something that can help all of you in changing behaviour is wake up earlier than you usually did and go to bed later. I am sleeping 5 hours per day now, I am graduating in bioinformatics MSc. I wake up, take a walk, shower, coffee and I am good to start the day at 7:30/8, instead of 9 without walking and doing stuff more relaxed. Liked the new format, a short insight of your days would be appreciated, as a Vlog.
I've been watching your videos lately and this more than five minutes is more retainable than thos lengthy once (not saying those less inspired me) for the busy people like me i can get almost everything with your 5 minutes.. Keep doing it bro.. Thanks! You're a rockstar!
I will take your advice and rearrange my room tomorrow. Personally i thinks it is a really creative and helpful advice.Thanks a lot. I have just watched two of your videos but deep down in my mind i truly feel the connection and something is really special about your videos. I am looking forward to your next video.
Hey John, my name is Alvaro and I am from Brazil. I have been watching your videos lately and they are really helping me. I just got into College and I want to be a better person, student and worker every day. I started to read more and I’m loving it. The messages you have been bringing in your videos are really like what I have been thinking lately, so you helped me a lot to get closer to my goals. Your video about “how to take better notes” is very good. I liked this kind of video that you share how you did your changes and do your things. You could record a video about habits, how you do to have your good habits and what are they. Congrats man!
Love the content John! You have made such a huge impact on my life and have made me steps closer to conquering my mind, I think it is a huge help to understand that our mind will always want bad for us, unless we train ourselves to say no and not succumb to our desires to mess around and procrastinate
I love your channel, and i only found it on monday but ive already fallen in love! Not to degrade your cool video essay style... But my eye spotted the cheeky cut at 0:15 seconds, rip. Still Keep it up! You've inspired me to get my crap together and develop better habits than constant gaming instead of homework... THANKYOU!
Love your videos, John. You've got razor sharp worldly perceptions and a knack for talking about things in a way that anyone can relate to and understand. Setting is such an important part of productivity. I'm currently taking an online course in Linear Algebra over the Summer, and just forcing myself to use my movable laptop desk as a place to hold my papers has done wonders for getting me to actually push through this work! Also, just wanted to say that I have a wonderful friend that attends Harvard and he's possibly one of the kindest souls I've had the luck of meeting in my life. You guys rock! They really do pick some good students from all walks of life.
You're absolutely different. Different than most of the UA-camrs and your content is beneficial and very helpful. Good Job, John. And cheers from Egypt, bro.
Thank you for this. I now do my assignments on my balcony in fresh air and singing birds. I like this change. More productive. Thank you John for your great videos. Inspiring.
The talk about transitions and malleable behaviour is so true! Thank you for curating such awesome tips and spreading positive energy for everyone here on YT :)
Tbh, I am recently depressed about almost everything in my life and get stressed out more whenever i think about how I've been so productive in the past. I've been trying to make changes, but no luck so far. I've been subscribed to you for so long and watched some of your videos that inspired me alot and this one struck me the most. Great video! 💕
You talk right from your heart and that what inspires me the most besides how effective your points are. I've been following you for a month now and I thought your from the U.S untill you said Waterloo... MY CITY!!! I'm really proud of you.. much love ❤❤❤
you became one of my favourite youtubers in less than a week! ive been trying to improve my productivity and lifestyle and your videos have been really helping me i'm only almost 16 and about to be in grade 11 and i'm preparing myself ealier for university and life in general by developing better habits, so i definitely needed this, thanks!
Hey bro thanks for taking tome out of your schedule to upload these awesome videos, you’ve inspired me to change the way I use my free time, and even change my productivity, keep it up bro, you’re one of the few you tubers WORTH WATCHING
Thank you, John! I'm in my 2nd semester in college as well, your videos have definitely made me more aware of how I spend my time and what I want to change about my lifestyle and have motivated me to be more productive and work toward my goals. Thanks for all the effort you put into your content, we appreciate you so much!
Genetics and Environment makes the 'who am I', yeah, I totally agree with your manageable arrangement, it is like moving a new room or going to new campus. Great work!
I love these videos. The messages are always inredibly strong and beautiful. I'm also impressed by the way John speaks. It's like he would read it; incredibly fluent. The more I am annoyed by his lisp. It makes it extremely hard to listen, but I think I need to get used to it.
I’m in secondary school in the UK, but your videos help to inspire me so much. For instance, I’m now 3 weeks in to my ‘book-a-week’ challenge for the year; I’ve started to sleep a lot earlier and, therefore, wake up a lot earlier with a good, structured morning routine; I’m exercising more regularly, eating healthier and even looking after my mental health by meditating, too! Next up: studying more. I’ll update you on how this goal goes soon!
I have also rearranged my room this week. I changed my work area, and my books and notebooks are now condensed in one corner of the room, close to my bed, so I will be more encouraged to read and write. It's working well so far!
Thanks so much. I moved to my computer corner while watching this, instead of continuing on my homework desk. Let’s hope this will stop getting me distracted by videos during homework.
I'm currently trying to change my subscription on UA-cam to have more, useful, meaningful, helpful, instructive vidéos on my recommandation and I just discover your channel ! You're doing a great job, keep going and thanks for the help !
Been here since 7K subscribers and you have literally changed my perception in productivity and college, personal growth overall. So thank you, you are inspiring people all around the world
I really appreciate what are you doing on UA-cam ! I'm french and I try to learn and improve my english level with your videos. Just continue, your look like a really good person. Thanks a lot man !
John, your channel and the content you make is exactly what I need right now, I’m trying foster my creativity a lot more too but it’s kinda hard lol, thanks for the vid and keep up the good work!
I have had already heard about the association of bed with sleep and other uses, which is a mistake. I liked that detail and the fact that you are showing knowledge from what you read and using it to inspire us. That is what adds value to any content. Sorry for my bad writying, I'm portuguese and I'm kinda lazy do learn english...
You have helped me so much this year, I didn't know how to study in a good way and I was stuck with B or C in all my subjects. But now I finish my last year in junior high school (I live in Sweden so I don't know what it's called) with 70% A's and 30% B's. I never believed that I could make it and now I'm able to go to my dream school, and it's all thanks to you and your amazing videos. Please continue and upload more videos!
Thanks a lot. I feel this is really helpful to me. I did rearrange my stuff before but I didn't realize this has such huge benefits. Looking forward to more video like this!
I’m moving in a couple of months, and I’m going to keep this in mind as I set up spaces in my new house. Think first about what I want to accomplish and then set things up to encourage working on those goals.
This video is so authentic.. Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya. Jambo :) Good to know their is a community of nerds out there in their dorm room as well trynna do great stuff. Started reading one book at a time one year ago and i'm now hooked to reading about anything interesting. I now enjoy business books and blogs
John, you're so self-driven and inspiring, and I think it's creating a lot of positive change for many people around the world :) thank you for always taking the time to create and upload solid content that's clearly the product of copious reflection and thought. i first started watching you after your 'Day of a Harvard Computer Science Student' vlog (like many others hahaha) but you continue to exceed all expectations with every video that you post, every extra mile you travel to interact with your viewers, and every new concept that you share!
love your content man. Just discovered your channel last week and have been getting so inspired by your videos was waiting for more uploads so definitely appreciate an extra video a week! Keep being you man! You're helping a lot of people to live more productive and happy lives :)
I truly love the idea and thank you for making a flawless video about it. Keep it up bro, I really like your videos and you are the only one person that I actually take time and comment, because I can't help it, you deserve much more.
Dear John Fish You are on Your Perfect Way, Every Video of Yours is a Perfection, may be short but Full of Important Content & Yes You are Right Even Small Change in Your Environment Can Make a Big Difference because Personal improvement & Productivity is a Step By Step Process, You are & You Will Make a Difference in Peoples Life Keep Continue Your Valuable Work for Yourself & for Others Thanks
Wow! An amazing short video, it do inspired me to change the environment surrounding me, also it reminds me what I use to do with my little room... It is always so much fun to reorganized the environment oom, and I always enjoyed!!!
i'm so happy i found your channel. your content is always so substantial and inspiring. i have learned so much from you!!!!you have no idea how you've been helping get by school. keep posting videos please!
As you told to change the environment I felt like that is true so I just bought my laptop table back to its old place, started to clean my room and changed places of some things
I think you've just changed my life. I study in my room(to get into medical school in Brazil) basically 24/7...and the thing is that when I'm stressed out or sad or without motivation I just jump in my bed with bad thoughts, or to see a lot of useless videos on UA-cam or even to study... And I also eat in the same table that I study, 😪 this have been my behavior for the past 10 years I guess. And I'm sure that when I change my enrolment today and stop with these kind of bad habits I'll be more focused and finally achieve my goal. Thanks for your tips 🙏
I find your videos so informative and authentic! I am new to your channel but have been enjoying your work since I started watching! Thank you for sharing with us such great, helpful tips and an insight to your life!
Very true John! I'm a classical musician and one of the best ways to improve a certain technique (change habit), is to work on it in a new piece of music (change environment). Looking forward to more of your videos! :)
Funny I had just about the same experience this semester. When I returned to school in January I established really great habits for pretty much the first time in my life (like waking up at 8am every day and exercising regularly, etc.) As soon as I came home for the summer, I decided to rearrange the furniture in my room. Because I spent almost every previous summer sleeping until 12 doing and doing nothing, I figured I needed to make a change or I would fall back into those habits. Changing your environment even in the slightest can REALLY help put you in the right mindset to establish change in your behavior. I've woken up at around 7am pretty much every day this summer and it actually feels great.
John. i've trying yo implement the habit of reading since january this year, i had good weeks and bad weeks, mostly because i pressured myself too much wanting to read 2 or 3 books a week, i find that maybe with a lot more practice i could get to do that someday, but i've been enjoying it way more since i watched your video on reading a book a week, and i kinda feel like i locked in this habit in the last three weeks, i read on a daily basis and i feel a lot of joy when i do, i get excited and i look forward to next oportunitty i get to pull out my book and catch up with my reading. And i strongly believe in what you say in this video about the enviroment, a few moths back i rearranged everything too, and i changed the configuration a few times, i can say i dont feel like doing anything when my desk is desorganized, and i try too keep in here everything i could need.
Thank you so much, you have inspired me to be a better person and actually start doing better things and I will be watching every single one of yr videos, please don't ever stop making videos.💓
dude. we love the tuesday videos. here for all the videos. i was just thinking about how i never read anymore, i think i'll create a reading spot. thanks for tip
its good to see your vlog its kind of seeing my reflection kind of like the thing i am struggling with you are going through the same .Its feels amazing seeing you overcoming habits and as you love reading books. Our environment affect us right but i don't get the same environment that i wanted but i struggle and i try to win over it . Great vlog keep it up
Looking forward for more Tuesday videos! This was a great one Iit was funny to notice that I have been doing this unintentionally for so long. I didn't even realise there's advantages of only sleeping in bed, doing school work around dining table and watching videos mostly on the sofa, so I surely will change this habit from being unintentional to intentional. Also always nice to watch quality content in english. It's my second language so it's good language practise for me as well. Keep up the good work, your videos are really enjoyable to watch!
What’s good John! Just want to let you know that I genuinely appreciate your content! I’m thinking of vlogging about my life in college too! Thanks buddy
About what you said about getting a strong desire to change, a study showed that when one wants to do an activity the brain spends less glucose and to want to do activity you must desire the result.
Hello john, I am a new subscriber, I really enjoy your videos and I find them very helpful and creative! I'm so glad that you are going to upload 2 videos! I have been trying to get rid of my bad habit and this video helped me realize what's the problem, thank you so much 💙
Hi John, I'm a college student from China. And I really like your video style, hope you can do more than that and sincerely wish you can be more popular. keep fighting! (BTW, I was bad at English, but I'll try my best to improve it. your advice will help a lot. thank you anyway.
I rearranged my room to have a reading nook like half way through when you mentioned that. I guess what you said makes sense because I usually get tired faster when reading in bed.
Watching this in bed. Got out of bed. Now at desk. Now trying to figure out where i should watch yt videos.
lol
Literally me 😂
😂
watch yt videos in a very uncomfortable position or environment to break a bad habit ;) it worked for me
😂
This guy is gonna be the first youtuber to be president.
Isn't he Canadian? If so, then he can be Prime Minister but not President. :)
BET!!!!
tih0m He’s Canadian.
lol. Yeah right
tih0m good idea 😊
Each video of yours is the most precious piece of knowledge and enlightenment on the internet.
You've inspired me to read more this summer, perfect time to pursue it! Really proud of all the positive change you are encouraging in the community.
I studied engineering and I was scared to read anything beyond my syllabus books.I used to be so unhappy and stressed coz I was running away from what I wanted. You have encouraged me to embrace my creative side and explore it too.We are human beings and made up of different elements,not just one.

You're absolutely different. Different than most of the UA-camrs and your content is beneficial and very helpful. Good Job, John. And cheers from Egypt, bro.
Thank you for this. I now do my assignments on my balcony in fresh air and singing birds. I like this change. More productive. Thank you John for your great videos. Inspiring.

Thank you so much Jonh, your tips are realy paying off. I a little bad at English but I just wonna make sure u know how impactfull u are in my Life
As a pretty directionless person, I really appreciate all your videos John, they really help.

Wow! An amazing short video, it do inspired me to change the environment surrounding me, also it reminds me what I use to do with my little room... It is always so much fun to reorganized the environment

My new favorite channel on UA-cam
The Creative Corner idea is very inspiring! Thank you so much for brightening our lives John!
I think you've just changed my life. I study in my room(to get into medical school in Brazil) basically 24/7...and the thing is that when I'm stressed out or sad or without motivation I just jump in my bed with bad thoughts, or to see a lot of useless videos on UA-cam or even to study... And I also eat in the same table that I study, 😪 this have been my behavior for the past 10 years I guess. And I'm sure that when I change my enrolment today and stop with these kind of bad habits I'll be more focused and finally achieve my goal. Thanks for your tips 🙏
its nice seeing your videos, kinda gives me motivation to stay productive and do well at school keep up the good work
I find your videos so informative and authentic! I am new to your channel but have been enjoying your work since I started watching! Thank you for sharing with us such great, helpful tips and an insight to your life!
you are helping ppl all around the world, brazil here
Very true John! I'm a classical musician and one of the best ways to improve a certain technique (change habit), is to work on it in a new piece of music (change environment). Looking forward to more of your videos! :)
I think you are right on!! I published my first book last year, my morning routine is so important!! It took a bit to make it a habit. 💖💖
Funny I had just about the same experience this semester. When I returned to school in January I established really great habits for pretty much the first time in my life (like waking up at 8am every day and exercising regularly, etc.) As soon as I came home for the summer, I decided to rearrange the furniture in my room. Because I spent almost every previous summer sleeping until 12 doing and doing nothing, I figured I needed to make a change or I would fall back into those habits. Changing your environment even in the slightest can REALLY help put you in the right mindset to establish change in your behavior. I've woken up at around 7am pretty much every day this summer and it actually feels great.
I think you might be my favorite UA-camr now bro. Thank you for the inspiration and insight on things. Keep growing🌞
rare to find useful content like this on youtube, keep up the good work!!
This is a perfect example of no matter how old you are you can always learn from young people. I'm 56 and this guy is great!! :-)
Just found your channel recently and you have already inspired me alot! Thanks John and keep up the positive vibes. *lol at **2:33*
John. i've trying yo implement the habit of reading since january this year, i had good weeks and bad weeks, mostly because i pressured myself too much wanting to read 2 or 3 books a week, i find that maybe with a lot more practice i could get to do that someday, but i've been enjoying it way more since i watched your video on reading a book a week, and i kinda feel like i locked in this habit in the last three weeks, i read on a daily basis and i feel a lot of joy when i do, i get excited and i look forward to next oportunitty i get to pull out my book and catch up with my reading. And i strongly believe in what you say in this video about the enviroment, a few moths back i rearranged everything too, and i changed the configuration a few times, i can say i dont feel like doing anything when my desk is desorganized, and i try too keep in here everything i could need.
Thank you so much, you have inspired me to be a better person and actually start doing better things and I will be watching every single one of yr videos, please don't ever stop making videos.💓
dude. we love the tuesday videos. here for all the videos. i was just thinking about how i never read anymore, i think i'll create a reading spot. thanks for tip
its good to see your vlog its kind of seeing my reflection kind of like the thing i am struggling with you are going through the same .Its feels amazing seeing you overcoming habits and as you love reading books.
Our environment affect us right but i don't get the same environment that i wanted but i struggle and i try to win over it .
Great vlog keep it up
Wow! I was just thinking about habits and associating places with good habits this past week!!
You should most definitely start a podcast listening to you is amazing and inspirational
John,
I love your videos not only are they really really good but also incredibly motivational. Keep up the great work! You push me to do better 💪
Looking forward for more Tuesday videos! This was a great one Iit was funny to notice that I have been doing this unintentionally for so long. I didn't even realise there's advantages of only sleeping in bed, doing school work around dining table and watching videos mostly on the sofa, so I surely will change this habit from being unintentional to intentional. Also always nice to watch quality content in english. It's my second language so it's good language practise for me as well. Keep up the good work, your videos are really enjoyable to watch!
so glad i came across your channel(youtube recommendation), i can relate to you in lot of ways. thanx
Hey man. Keep the good work. I feel really can to become a better person watching your content. Thanks for being a positive guy
What’s good John! Just want to let you know that I genuinely appreciate your content! I’m thinking of vlogging about my life in college too! Thanks buddy
Great job friend! I see that you earned a great vision in the perfect time of your life cycle. You have a bright future! Don't give up!
About what you said about getting a strong desire to change, a study showed that when one wants to do an activity the brain spends less glucose and to want to do activity you must desire the result.
Because of you I'm trying to read one book per week... Thank you! My thoughts are growing with those books
same here!!! Thank you, John
Out of curiosity, what book are you reading now? I am looking for something to pick up.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Hello john, I am a new subscriber, I really enjoy your videos and I find them very helpful and creative! I'm so glad that you are going to upload 2 videos! I have been trying to get rid of my bad habit and this video helped me realize what's the problem, thank you so much 💙
So glad you're going to make more videos! I really agree with the message in this one!
Hi John, I'm a college student from China. And I really like your video style, hope you can do more than that and sincerely wish you can be more popular. keep fighting! (BTW, I was bad at English, but I'll try my best to improve it. your advice will help a lot. thank you anyway.
I rearranged my room to have a reading nook like half way through when you mentioned that. I guess what you said makes sense because I usually get tired faster when reading in bed.
