Studying for 12 hours is insane lmao. I can study for probably 6-8 hours after school when cramming for a test. Personally, I get more motivation the longer I study. For me the hardest part is starting, since I need to learn something new and struggle through the challenge questions. After that I just need to solidify my understanding, which is really motivating because I actually start getting the answers right. Anyways, this is a great video! I love how it emphasizes a work-life balance while being aware that grades are a significant priority!
12 hours sounds insane to me to. I wake up at 5 am and do work for 2 hours before school and 4 hours after, or on weekends until12 pm then a break/nap. 12 hours is double my study stamina, I get exhausted. But I do agree with you on your point about starting, and the motivation after getting answers right. That's how it feels in AP Chemistry for me
I know people who study for 16 or 17 hr. They are preparing for a competitive exam As the name suggests, u need to be competitive, so ya from 1 month to more than a year, some study like this. My neighbor became a CA ( chartered accountant in India) her schedule was 16 hrs studying for a year during the finals. She said the starting month was the hardest cause she deactivated all her social media ac including yt the only thing she used devise was for calling chatting with really close people previous year question paper and study related only on Google and songs.
i deal with that as well, spending the first 5 minutes actually starting is harder than me spending the rest 3, 4, 8 hours actually studying. Any tips on you found that work for you?

The full focus part is the hardest. As a med student who sometimes studies for 12 hours (with pomodoro), don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ll get much more done in 8 hours of flow state than in 12 hours of distraction!
Ive found from testing that indeed taking breaks is super important! My usual go to is study 1 hour and then a 20 minute break where I can either watch an episode of an anime on my couch, go for a walk while listening to music or call with friends for a bit and I usually repeat this 2-3 times depending on how much time I have. I’ve only started using doing this recently but I already feel so much more productive! (Although I revise for an exam and it went terribly.. but I guess I just didn’t study long enough
This is called pomodoro, it's really nice. I do a 50 min study and 10 min break Honestly the 10 min break feels a lot when you're actually doing smth productive. A bit of social media break and it feels like a long break lol
Kai !!! I can’t believe the timing. Yesterday was my birthday, & one of my goals was to study more. I was kind of lost on where to start. But, wow. I’m amazed at the timing & I appreciate you so much 🫵🏼😊 thank you thank you !!!
Actually the opposite of what is being claimed in this video is true - the most successful (academically) students work about 6 hours a day, not 12. Their success is down to 4 things - consistency, depth of learning (they tend to write things out and reformat them in ways that force their brain to engage with the material), revisiting topics several times, and innate ability to memorise and recall information. NOT long periods of study.
And yes, before someone says it, I did watch all of the video and do know the first thing he said was you don’t need to study 12 hours. But he also puts aside efficiency and erroneously goes into duration. Korean education is highly problematic, it’s memorising information not critical thinking so a lot of what is learnt isn’t useful in later study and work. This is true of most educational systems but Korea is one of the worst.
The most successful students I know do actually spend more than 12h of studying without missing any day They'd start studying at 8 o'clock in the morning and end at 1:30_2:00 pm , without any breaks but food breaks (sometimes they skip lunch or study while eating) , and the maximum food break is 30 min , so lunch+dinner=1h break , and when they wake up in the morning it takes them only ten to fifteen minutes to start studying. They emerge themselves in studying.
the cram in korea called coaching in India, and fr idk why but its really the same in most big asian countires, almost every one of my classmate goas to coaching but I still manage to get more than most of them [in grade].
I don't understand the Asian countries how they study it seems so bad all they do is just repeat repeat repeat and memorise everything rather than learn it and if they fail it's because they didn't work harder
My drive is to fulfill my parents' expectations. My 9th and 10th-grade results didn’t meet their expectations, nor mine, so it has motivated me a lot to work harder & smarter in my 11th and 12th-grade exams.
The thing is I normally get bored watching these types of videos but this is the only time i didn't get bored and actually enjoyed the video(mainly because of his humour). And i am really going to think about these tips and methods
I've been studying an hour a day for a few decades. That's yielded consistent results for me. It's not perceptible on a daily basis. It's like brushing my teeth or taking a bath-I just do it out of habit. Same thing with physical training. And, usually, I end up spilling over into 2 hours (never more than 3). I'm not saying it's optimal. It's simply integrated into my life, so it never feels like studying. It's tantamount to plopping on the couch to watch YT at the end of the day. Instead, I plop on the couch and work on my coding or dig into chem or analyze competitor digital marketing strategies. Anywho, just adding my experience to the conversation on studying. Cheers, reader!
Studying 12 hrs is realistic ..... And it can go 12+ sometime because this time is not enough to studyy ... As an indian student as a neet aspirant and i know at start you cant but slowly but slowly is really slowly you cant achieve within. In a year sometimes but if you decide you can and obviously with breaks and sometimee this break take longg😂😂😂 sometime we dont go back thats why this take me more than a year to study 12 + but now i am on track
Here are the MOST USEFUL studying advices i got so far, (no bullshit, no cap, 100% works, skibidi) 1. Understand the WHOLE thing that you want to study, make a mind map and undertsand the correlation between material & sub-material. KEEP IT SIMPLE. seeing things in the bigger picture is good as a starting point. 2. Condition yourself to be able to study effectively. Basically just start study, and after you notice you can't focus do something to condition yourself. People different, i listen to SPECIFIC album to make my mind focus. but you can do something like staring at a wall or something that make you focus again. do it everytime you study, something like ritual to make your brain understand when to focus. it's important. you can just read a whole book and not understand a single word if you're not focus. 3. Understanding the correlation and re-explain it in a way you can understand better and easier to recall next time. basically make everything recall-able, you can learn method like Mind Palace to help you remember specific material. 4. Take notes, it's important, the key is, make another mind map with more details on it. remember, KEEP IT SIMPLE. it makes everything have correlation and not all over the place. and once you wanna re-learn it next time you can recall it faster and no need to overloading your head with bunch of informations. 5. The RIGHT way to REST. don't reward yourself with something exciting between your study sessions. keep yourself bored and not distracted. you can rest by actually not process anything with your brain. letting yourself to be bored and relax is great to your focus and your motivation. keep in mind, when you actually learning you will get tired and confused almost all the time bcs you overloading your brain with information, so it's okay to feel that way.
I have a couple of questions: 1. How do you use a laptop or phone for studying and not get drifted off? There are so many things you can do on a PC that are more exciting and release more dopamine. I am trying avoid smart devices, but then I won't be able to use a pomodoro timer. (Maybe smart watch is the solution to that, but still it takes immense discipline to study on a PC. How do you do it?) 2. How do you deal with the frustration when you can't study as you planned? When I make a study plan, I always fail to execute it. Either I get stuck on a topic and it takes way more time than I expected or things come up in life and I have to take unplanned breaks or I just start procrastinating forgetting my goals. I am preparing for a very competitive admission test to get into a university that has always been my dream, yet when it matters the most, I am not studying at all. I am wasting my time procrastinating. I just wanna get out of this never ending cycle. I know exactly what to do, but I'm just not doing it.
1. You can get a wall clock and use it for pomodoro. Say you started studying at 10:15 and wanna study an hour, you will stop studying at 11:15. Then take however long brake you do for pomodoro (this is what i do cause i also struggle with getting distracted by my phone) 2. I will be deadass right now in my class there are a lot of smart people and almost everyones complain is they cant finish their schedule. I would recommend really taking your time to understand how much you can actually do and factoring in these breaks you take and stuff in there. So that although you didn't study enough you studied how much you thought you would (I dont know how your home life is but i would recommend locking your door if possible so as to stop "things coming up" cause with me its usually my parents and i just ignore them cause study is more important. You need to set boundaries cause study is a higher priority)
taking breaks is a very important, not only for your brain but also for your overall body. Staying immobile for long periods is not good. this becomes even more important for college students(students in their 20s) as your body just isn't just the same as in yours teens, sure, you have gotten cognitively more better but things like focus and memory keep getting slightly deteriorating as time goes. So the thing you do in breaks should move around your body to some extent, it should not be an idle thing(like staring at the phone) while it should also not be something that further tires your brain out.
In India 💀 :- you don't need to study for 12 hours ❌ You need to study for 12 hours or more✅🙂🔪. That's brutal truth, competitive exams are so competitive here that even top students can't even crack it due to the discipline, dedication and hardwork of average students💀
Also I just want to say, as someone who plays an instrument at a really high level, we thought Korean students were just built different and could practise 12 hours a day (which they do, it's not just a stereotype), but once I got to know some of these people well, they told me that they usually spend 2-4 hours out of those 12 just zoning out or mindlessly moving their fingers. While I do think quantity is still very important, going over 8 hours is just a waste of time and pretty inefficient. Remember to prioritise quality over quantity and that comparing your studying quantitatively with others isn't that helpful :)
Meanwhile me who can barely study for an hour watching this as if I can study for 12. Btw Kai, what web browser and like most used websites for ur studies do you use constantly? Like, which websites would you consider 'lifesavers' or 'godsends' when it comes to your work?
I’m currently preparing for university admission exams. I have 5-6 hours of class every and I mostly found myself grinding 6pm to next day 5am. Then I might consider sleeping :)
Once I studied for 5 Hours Mathmatics because I wrote down a plan how to study and what needs to be done. If you have a plan to follow you will be more productive
my study technique is simple. I sit in front of my mom 2 days before exam. Cry and she will help, make it into short tasks and organise. I study in front of my mom. Its the fear that gets me but also we take breaks where we yap and gossip for relief and go back. She also acts like alarm and tells me to walk or drink water when i am overwhelmed. Funnily there were times when I ran to her with literally just 8 hrs for the exam. Guess what I aced the exam to an extent that I was on the top 1 in the entre school lol. Yeah studying in front of her helps me focus. Csue or else I shld be ready for her slippers
top students study in the least amount of time possible. they find the best strategies for each subject that gets them the best results in the least amount of time.
I think it is true to some extent but even the best techniques fail sometimes, there are some best ways to study a particular subject which may not work on other subjects as the length or difficulty of subjects may vary........ @mina_ambrose
This is true, but I think it's pretty much only for gifted students. I'm not sure about others, but I've never put actual effort into anything academics related, however exams and tests are pretty easy for me.
Help!!! I am addicted to phone and no matter what I can't get rid of it. I can't put my android anywhere else, because i need internet to study too. I need an academic comeback 😭😭😭😭😭. Please somebody help !!! 😭😭😭😭
Buddy u know whats wrong ..... u just told urself what the hurdle is remove the fking instagram remove twitter bruh it doesnt generate any positive outcome for u .... being happy always is not needed u dont have to talk to yiur friends every day If they are a great friends they will understand that u have to study and wont bich about it
The hardest part for me is starting 😅 I find myself starting most of the time at night out of pressure and stress. I procrastinate even though I don’t want to 😂 For my computer science class, I’ve spent 10 hours trying to solve one code 😂 It was not. Computer science, physics and mathematical analysis is what I struggle the most 🥴
Just an average Indian student from different streams of courses who are pursuing a top notch professional courses/ exams of their streams.... Study 12 hrs or more a day..... But productivity is more about consistency than the amt of time invested...😊 Amt of time is imp but consistency is more.... Secret to 12 hrs could be breaking the day into 4 hrs each batch and break/nap/doing ur fav things or just watching ur drama but keeping track of time.... But at the very end no one could be consistent each day so not pushing urself too much on ur low days and finding something to grab motivation could be the best schedule to go with....bt don't be lazy everyday then... Hope this helps an advice from average Indian Professional Exam Student...😅
Yes you don't need 12 hours studying. Yes, make plan for your study, don't study long. But, do it efficiently. When I was highschooler, I wake up at 5.15, arrived at school at 5.45, get back home at 18.00 and study until 2.00. I do sleep only for 3 hours 15 minutes Guess what? I got top 3 from the bottom. 29/33. 1 person are Drop Out. So, yes top 3. Yes, Congratulated me. Gladly my parents are understanding me and make me keep sane. Next Semester, I change my way to learn. I change my plan. I do more goals oriented rather than time based learn. And, I got 2nd rank. Well, I learned something. But, I'm not satisfied. I know not everything in highschooler is needed. For example, my school don't teach me deep English. So next semester I do learn a lot from outside. I add more knowledge. In the end I got 16th rank. I notice that the point is not ranking, score, perfection, or competitiveness. The point is why you learn, why you study, can you use this knowledge for better purposes, also the impact from your knowledge. Life is too short for learn something you don't need. My tips, if you don't like the topic, do learn its concept. So, next time when you meet the same topic. At least you knew the concept and then searching it on Google Scholar
Simple studying 📖 . Find a activity that you love to do and has your full focus for me it was my smartphone now i wath reels a lot and i can do it forever and it has my full attention so now i find IG pages related to my topic like physivs , chem, maths and i fill my feed with there videos walla i am studying 12 hours a day
Actually if you're studying daily for 2-3 hours, then you can just study for 6 hours max before exams. But if you're like me who doesn't study throughout the year properly, then 1 month before the exam will be cramming. At least 10 hours of daily studying will be needed to finish the syllabus.
Guys I failed last two years because I didn't studied, and this year feels no different I'm wasting my time everyday by doom scrolling every day. Ik this is wrong but I don't change idk why. I don't have time but I still don't change i might not make it this time, I want the God of this universe to make me study because I can't I don't what to do. And it's not like I never sat down to study because I did. But I genuinely didn't understand anything I feel like my mental age never grew after the pandemic. Im cooked.
Omg my situation is same. I wasted last two years and this year too. I decided to finally delete all social media apps that were distracting me and focus solely on academics from scratch. I believe that as long as we stick to our goal and instead of blaming ourselves and being stuck in that same toxic loop, spend more time on accepting that bad phase and try to be gentle with ourselves and work towards self improvement then it will get better with time. It's time to focus on today so future gets better. It's definitely hard because I feel like I am behind everything but I am determined now that if I work hard for next 6 months I will be in better place. So let's try our best and remember that we can make our brains more sharper and better with consistency and discipline. Best of luck to you 🫂💞hope it gets better :)
Hey, first of all what's important is that you have a will to study, you want to do this so you can and you will. But trust me sitting waiting for the universe won't help but yes, if you try the universe will help. I'd say you should start with studying for maybe just 20 mins but with a proper plan and resources so that you can understand what you studying, you are not going to get anything out of studying for long hours if you can't comprehend anything in the first place so try studying for maybe 20 mins but really be there and take guidance from someone who has already done well in your course or a friend who knows a bit better. I'm sure you'll figure it out but it's important to try and push yourself slowly. The aim is to do well and be productive not sit at your table for the longest time possible. Hope this helps!
Don't worry you are not alone . Just do one thing start maintaining journal of what you did in day and be true to yourself, maintain a routine . Even if world burn down stick to your daily goals . Maintain it for few months and you will see the results.Even I started from yesterday
Look i know 12hr is not realstic but still watch this whole video because it might atleast Increase your study hour fro, what you have now (i've 0 i'll try to study rom now)
How did figure out your exact pomodoro time? 48/12 seems just very random. Did you do something to figure that out or did you just do it because it's a bit different from a normal 50/10? Is there a specific way to find this exact timing?
for those wondering, the app i used to track my study time is called "Boosted" !! :)
Is it boosted time tracker?

Here are the MOST USEFUL studying advices i got so far, (no bullshit, no cap, 100% works, skibidi)
1. Understand the WHOLE thing that you want to study, make a mind map and undertsand the correlation between material & sub-material. KEEP IT SIMPLE. seeing things in the bigger picture is good as a starting point.
2. Condition yourself to be able to study effectively. Basically just start study, and after you notice you can't focus do something to condition yourself. People different, i listen to SPECIFIC album to make my mind focus. but you can do something like staring at a wall or something that make you focus again. do it everytime you study, something like ritual to make your brain understand when to focus. it's important. you can just read a whole book and not understand a single word if you're not focus.
3. Understanding the correlation and re-explain it in a way you can understand better and easier to recall next time. basically make everything recall-able, you can learn method like Mind Palace to help you remember specific material.
4. Take notes, it's important, the key is, make another mind map with more details on it. remember, KEEP IT SIMPLE. it makes everything have correlation and not all over the place. and once you wanna re-learn it next time you can recall it faster and no need to overloading your head with bunch of informations.
5. The RIGHT way to REST. don't reward yourself with something exciting between your study sessions. keep yourself bored and not distracted. you can rest by actually not process anything with your brain. letting yourself to be bored and relax is great to your focus and your motivation.
keep in mind, when you actually learning you will get tired and confused almost all the time bcs you overloading your brain with information, so it's okay to feel that way.
I have a couple of questions:
1. How do you use a laptop or phone for studying and not get drifted off? There are so many things you can do on a PC that are more exciting and release more dopamine. I am trying avoid smart devices, but then I won't be able to use a pomodoro timer. (Maybe smart watch is the solution to that, but still it takes immense discipline to study on a PC. How do you do it?)
2. How do you deal with the frustration when you can't study as you planned? When I make a study plan, I always fail to execute it. Either I get stuck on a topic and it takes way more time than I expected or things come up in life and I have to take unplanned breaks or I just start procrastinating forgetting my goals.
I am preparing for a very competitive admission test to get into a university that has always been my dream, yet when it matters the most, I am not studying at all. I am wasting my time procrastinating. I just wanna get out of this never ending cycle. I know exactly what to do, but I'm just not doing it.
1. You can get a wall clock and use it for pomodoro. Say you started studying at 10:15 and wanna study an hour, you will stop studying at 11:15. Then take however long brake you do for pomodoro (this is what i do cause i also struggle with getting distracted by my phone)
2. I will be deadass right now in my class there are a lot of smart people and almost everyones complain is they cant finish their schedule. I would recommend really taking your time to understand how much you can actually do and factoring in these breaks you take and stuff in there. So that although you didn't study enough you studied how much you thought you would
(I dont know how your home life is but i would recommend locking your door if possible so as to stop "things coming up" cause with me its usually my parents and i just ignore them cause study is more important. You need to set boundaries cause study is a higher priority)
@@faizmalik3719 That's very insightful. Fighting against distractions is currently the biggest fight I'm fighting.

Sth i was thinking few seconds ago, then decided to check UA-cam and your video pop up, hope you're advice work.
it feels illegal to be this early haha, i loved the vid by the way!
Iam very happy today , because i am good to study 12 hrs not for exams just for myself 😂 ... Feeling reallly good aaaaaaaah .
taking breaks is a very important, not only for your brain but also for your overall body. Staying immobile for long periods is not good.
this becomes even more important for college students(students in their 20s) as your body just isn't just the same as in yours teens, sure, you have gotten cognitively more better but things like focus and memory keep getting slightly deteriorating as time goes. So the thing you do in breaks should move around your body to some extent, it should not be an idle thing(like staring at the phone) while it should also not be something that further tires your brain out.
dropped a sub,very informative and well put together
Thanks Seth for making me an academic weapon. My grades got boosted by 30% this month
In 3 hours?
@TrioTube-AKA i study bad amount of time. Normally its around 7-8 hours
I watch this video, instead of studying for my biology exam.
In India 💀 :- you don't need to study for 12 hours ❌ You need to study for 12 hours or more✅🙂🔪. That's brutal truth, competitive exams are so competitive here that even top students can't even crack it due to the discipline, dedication and hardwork of average students💀
nah u just need money to ace those exams now 💀

Also I just want to say, as someone who plays an instrument at a really high level, we thought Korean students were just built different and could practise 12 hours a day (which they do, it's not just a stereotype), but once I got to know some of these people well, they told me that they usually spend 2-4 hours out of those 12 just zoning out or mindlessly moving their fingers. While I do think quantity is still very important, going over 8 hours is just a waste of time and pretty inefficient. Remember to prioritise quality over quantity and that comparing your studying quantitatively with others isn't that helpful :)
Meanwhile me who can barely study for an hour watching this as if I can study for 12. Btw Kai, what web browser and like most used websites for ur studies do you use constantly? Like, which websites would you consider 'lifesavers' or 'godsends' when it comes to your work?
So useful❤
kai can you please make a proper study schedule for someone who wants to study 9-10 hrs a day
fantastic bro
I study for 16 hrs a day, 1.5hr for meals, 30min for breaks, 6hrs for sleep (been doing it from 2 years)
Wow that's disciplined
I don't want to believe you😢
How are you not burnt out ??
I’m currently preparing for university admission exams. I have 5-6 hours of class every and I mostly found myself grinding 6pm to next day 5am. Then I might consider sleeping :)
Once I studied for 5 Hours Mathmatics because I wrote down a plan how to study and what needs to be done. If you have a plan to follow you will be more productive
my study technique is simple. I sit in front of my mom 2 days before exam. Cry and she will help, make it into short tasks and organise. I study in front of my mom. Its the fear that gets me but also we take breaks where we yap and gossip for relief and go back. She also acts like alarm and tells me to walk or drink water when i am overwhelmed. Funnily there were times when I ran to her with literally just 8 hrs for the exam. Guess what I aced the exam to an extent that I was on the top 1 in the entre school lol. Yeah studying in front of her helps me focus. Csue or else I shld be ready for her slippers
studying for long periods of time does not guarantee the fact that you will get better scores, remember quality over quantity.
Got too distracted for a while, now time to get back to grind
top students study in the least amount of time possible. they find the best strategies for each subject that gets them the best results in the least amount of time.
can tell you from personal experience that that's not true in most cases
I think it is true to some extent but even the best techniques fail sometimes, there are some best ways to study a particular subject which may not work on other subjects as the length or difficulty of subjects may vary........
@mina_ambrose
Its because they study for marks not for knowledge
This is true, but I think it's pretty much only for gifted students. I'm not sure about others, but I've never put actual effort into anything academics related, however exams and tests are pretty easy for me.
This really depends on what you studying, and if you are gifted at that,
Those strategies doesn’t make as much impact as you think.
Great video.
Help!!! I am addicted to phone and no matter what I can't get rid of it. I can't put my android anywhere else, because i need internet to study too. I need an academic comeback 😭😭😭😭😭. Please somebody help !!! 😭😭😭😭

The hardest part for me is starting 😅 I find myself starting most of the time at night out of pressure and stress. I procrastinate even though I don’t want to 😂
For my computer science class, I’ve spent 10 hours trying to solve one code 😂 It was not.
Computer science, physics and mathematical analysis is what I struggle the most 🥴
As a pharmacy student from Japan I can only that study if I have the whole 24 hours to myself like no college no cram thingy, then I do pull it off
Thanks dude
Excellent advices, just an observation and probably you´ve already corrected, but you need to go deeper on the inclined dumbbell press.
I once studied math for 20 hours
Just an average Indian student from different streams of courses who are pursuing a top notch professional courses/ exams of their streams.... Study 12 hrs or more a day.....
But productivity is more about consistency than the amt of time invested...😊
Amt of time is imp but consistency is more....
Secret to 12 hrs could be breaking the day into 4 hrs each batch and break/nap/doing ur fav things or just watching ur drama but keeping track of time.... But at the very end no one could be consistent each day so not pushing urself too much on ur low days and finding something to grab motivation could be the best schedule to go with....bt don't be lazy everyday then...
Hope this helps
an advice from average Indian Professional Exam Student...😅
0:14 which app do you use for tracking study hrs....
I believe it was Yeolpumta
I believe he mentioned its called boosted
Yes you don't need 12 hours studying. Yes, make plan for your study, don't study long. But, do it efficiently. When I was highschooler, I wake up at 5.15, arrived at school at 5.45, get back home at 18.00 and study until 2.00. I do sleep only for 3 hours 15 minutes
Guess what? I got top 3 from the bottom. 29/33. 1 person are Drop Out. So, yes top 3. Yes, Congratulated me. Gladly my parents are understanding me and make me keep sane.
Next Semester, I change my way to learn. I change my plan. I do more goals oriented rather than time based learn. And, I got 2nd rank. Well, I learned something.
But, I'm not satisfied. I know not everything in highschooler is needed. For example, my school don't teach me deep English. So next semester I do learn a lot from outside. I add more knowledge. In the end I got 16th rank.
I notice that the point is not ranking, score, perfection, or competitiveness. The point is why you learn, why you study, can you use this knowledge for better purposes, also the impact from your knowledge. Life is too short for learn something you don't need.
My tips, if you don't like the topic, do learn its concept. So, next time when you meet the same topic. At least you knew the concept and then searching it on Google Scholar
plz make more study with me videos you make them good as well
Simple studying 📖 . Find a activity that you love to do and has your full focus for me it was my smartphone now i wath reels a lot and i can do it forever and it has my full attention so now i find IG pages related to my topic like physivs , chem, maths and i fill my feed with there videos walla i am studying 12 hours a day
Actually if you're studying daily for 2-3 hours, then you can just study for 6 hours max before exams.
But if you're like me who doesn't study throughout the year properly, then 1 month before the exam will be cramming. At least 10 hours of daily studying will be needed to finish the syllabus.
Helpful, thanks
Guys I failed last two years because I didn't studied, and this year feels no different I'm wasting my time everyday by doom scrolling every day. Ik this is wrong but I don't change idk why. I don't have time but I still don't change i might not make it this time, I want the God of this universe to make me study because I can't I don't what to do. And it's not like I never sat down to study because I did. But I genuinely didn't understand anything I feel like my mental age never grew after the pandemic. Im cooked.
This was just two put my frustrations in words, I'm sorry if you wasted your time reading it.
Omg my situation is same. I wasted last two years and this year too. I decided to finally delete all social media apps that were distracting me and focus solely on academics from scratch. I believe that as long as we stick to our goal and instead of blaming ourselves and being stuck in that same toxic loop, spend more time on accepting that bad phase and try to be gentle with ourselves and work towards self improvement then it will get better with time. It's time to focus on today so future gets better. It's definitely hard because I feel like I am behind everything but I am determined now that if I work hard for next 6 months I will be in better place. So let's try our best and remember that we can make our brains more sharper and better with consistency and discipline. Best of luck to you 🫂💞hope it gets better :)
Don't do the same fucken things and hope for different results, I know it's hard but be grow up and be a man
Hey, first of all what's important is that you have a will to study, you want to do this so you can and you will. But trust me sitting waiting for the universe won't help but yes, if you try the universe will help. I'd say you should start with studying for maybe just 20 mins but with a proper plan and resources so that you can understand what you studying, you are not going to get anything out of studying for long hours if you can't comprehend anything in the first place so try studying for maybe 20 mins but really be there and take guidance from someone who has already done well in your course or a friend who knows a bit better. I'm sure you'll figure it out but it's important to try and push yourself slowly. The aim is to do well and be productive not sit at your table for the longest time possible. Hope this helps!
Don't worry you are not alone . Just do one thing start maintaining journal of what you did in day and be true to yourself, maintain a routine . Even if world burn down stick to your daily goals . Maintain it for few months and you will see the results.Even I started from yesterday
3:00 yeah hes talking about me
my study time was 12-16H a day in some days preparing for the national test and I got a 96.7😁
I clicked the video thinking that studying 12 hours without a break so i was pretty interested but ig its not possible after all
I can’t even handle 3 hours.. I definitely need to push harder

In India, Jee and Neet aspirants are studying 16 to 17 hrs a day 😭😭🙏
is that the xiaomi mi monitor?
How did figure out your exact pomodoro time? 48/12 seems just very random. Did you do something to figure that out or did you just do it because it's a bit different from a normal 50/10? Is there a specific way to find this exact timing?
It's an 80-20 percent split of an hour
thank u
there is one more factor other than grit and drive. That's Spotify 😁😁
