About Me
I'm a trainee lawyer, part-time UA-camr, son, brother, startup founder, boyfriend, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)!
Around that, I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this UA-cam channel 😀
Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.

The afternoon slump was really a big problem for me. Hope, this will solve the issue.
Love your videos Liam
Same here, after meal, i just get knocked out like a melon
Just finished my lunch break, about to chew some gum and test the first habit out! Thanks for the video and the hard work behind them!
Killer video with tips that aren't mainstream and rehashed. Thank you for the effort you put into it!
Wow 🔥🔥 I love how unconventional #1 and #2 are, I’m definitely going to try those out. Great video!!
love your channel, your motivational tips are helping A LOT with my A Levels
SUCH a good video - I loved this!
This is the video I needed to see today, your Trello hacks and Chewing Gum after Lunch are just some
of the tips that have taken my productivity to another level as a software engineer
working from home!
I appreciate these tips Liam, thanks again and keep up the great work with the videos!!
Hey Liam. Law student in Canada here. I really dig your videos! Thanks for the tips :)
Great video! you're the man!!
Thank you for sharing.
Really appreciate this fantastic video! thank you Liam!
Thank you so much Jasmine - I really appreciate your support 😊😊
I've never heard of the first tip! Going to have to check that out. I always feel sluggish after eating lunch. Especially after any pasta haha. Great video as always, Liam!!
Agreed! I’ve also been trying to eat smaller lunches with less carbs, and then allow myself to snack around that with e.g. cereal bars etc in the morning (with coffee) and mid afternoon 😊
love your videos mate. as a corporate law student, your videos really help me thanks.
Thank you bud!! 😀
Totally agree about the afternoon slump, it just throws me off for the rest of the day! Will deffo try the gum :)
Let me know if you think it helps at all - I’ve also found that trying to snack a little more and eat a slightly smaller lunch (without tooo many carbs) helpful 😀
Definitely going to try the first tip, thanks Liam 😁
Amazing! Thanks Chloe 🙂
Chewing gum after lunch since long ago😁
I wasn't aware of its productivity effect (just chewing for pleasure), but looking at it in hindsight, it could be true👌
Found your channel recently and loving it so far. What camera are you using for your videos? Thanks
Liam that chewing gum trick actually works - you legend
really good video
We always tried to persuade our teacher to let us chew gum during lessons xD
So we are more alert 😅
Hi Liam, have you done the PSC yet? Would be interesting to see videos and your thoughts on this. I’ve just completed the advocacy part which was good.
Regarding the emails thing - surely if somethings urgent, they should call you/talk to you. An email isn’t an instant communication thing really

The best time to reply to the boss's e-mail is...right away.
Hey Liam just watched one of our vids and saw you wearing Desborough school shorts just wondering about it (there is a backround story)
To solve the afternoon slump skip breakfast & lunch and eat one meal a day after all intensive work is finished.
Hey, great video! While, my chimp brain craves for dopamine, and I've trained it not to mindlessly scroll at instagram... I still constantly check my phone for messages from close ones (who seem online all day XD). How do you control this urge? Whatever I've tried doesn't work, and since my college is still online, I also don't want to feel left out in these texts...
Kudos mate! I really love your videos
Thank you buddy! Umm, keeping my phone away from me and flipped upside down is a big one to avoid the distractions of notifications when I’m working!!
So you have a chimp brain.... What about the part that says "my chimp brain".. Isn't that also the chimp brain or is that a "better chimp brain"??
5:13 what is the source of all my stress..... Maybe the self you think you are does not exist as you think it does.

Hi Liam, does it matter what law school you graduate from in order to be employable?
Yes.. Depending upon where you want to apply to. People prefer people who are like them. It makes people feel comfortable if they feel conforyable with you and this comes from knowing who you are. The HR people and HR policy may not be too concerned about it... So a good qualification from a good uni will get you into this environment... But in interview with a partner it might be of benefit that you are from similar type of place as they'll understand this easier. But I think generally it may not matter too much as long as you can show them you are intelligent with a good degree qualification and that you really love the boring shit that they do on a daily basis because people like to feel that what they are doing has meaning and purpose when really it's shit boring and likely want you wanting to kill yourself and your colleagues after 10 years of this shit.
Don't do it though OK

Such a good video. How old are you?
First!
*going to the supermarket to buy some chewing gum*
When you really live in Moscow lol ✨
Can you do q&a's again
Does running up and down the stairs count??
I mean, depends how many stairs how many times I guess 😝
📍 *Quick reminder:*
🔰 *It's simple, nothing will work until you do.*
Why do people want to be more productive.... More machine like... Maybe because life in other fields is difficult and only in the work place there is some control... Some order....so people seek more and more of that order and become more and more mechanical and robotic.
"Like for people who have ADHD like to spin something or do something to help their brain engage.."
Me: Oh no ._.
4:00 going to see a psychologist from taking too much on..... This is too sad.... Blame the society... Blame the education that you've been brought up in... Blame the parents that create ideals and demand in ways that you achieve... Who needs this shit.... To be honest what is to blame... What is to blame is that we have ideas of ourselves and these ideas are really insecure and so we seek to make ourselves secure by achieving more... But this will never really make us secure because the self that we think we are is really made from ideas and being made from ideas it will never be secure.
I've watched a number of your vids now... And I've also watched that Ali Abdaal guy that I saw you also may watch and he also has the same issues as you and of course as me and all of us... Because psychologically we are all the same.
He's nuts.. Your nuts.. I'm nuts... Society is nuts... "it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society".. Krishnamurti.
OK... Back to insecurity/security... Look... To be honest you could have had a direction of acting or drama or theatre and then you would have sought more and more in that direction to be secure. But coincidences have led you to law and so you seek in that direction.
There is something a little bit not right in society that a kid... 24 25 Yr old has to go see a psychologist... Something is awry in society that this should or could happen.
Society has caused much of it. Look around you. Theyre mostly sick bastards dressed in suits all seeking their own security and the expense of others. But they won't reveal the level of their boredom. Or they won't see it for themselves. Most are dissatisfied and seek satisfaction... Just look at all your vids... What is underlying them is seeking... Seeking satisfaction... Seeking security. The same applies to every sick bastard in society. And all those fuckers at Clifford Chance hahaha.
How would you handle corrupt Malta government staff member who posed as UK's government Head of Legal Dept in my court hearing on 9th March 2019 at City&Mayor's County Court London to steal my flat 2a york mansion 101 Barkston gardens 215 Earl's court road London SW5 9AF-Property
That was a maté?
Why and how have we created this sort of fucking life... Hahaha.... This all reminds me of work... Hahaha..... Don't need it.
"If you are poor so what... Be poor"... Krishnamurti
I'd rather be poor than live this way.... Hahaha
Nonsense
How come you thought that?
