In this video, I talk about how to make school more enjoyable by turning it into a flow experience. This is intuitive to some people--making school feel like a game--but can be easily broken down into a strategy for enjoyment.
This video also discusses how teachers can help their students enjoy school more, and how people, in general, can make their lives better with Flow.
I was thinking that the 95% hate it, that is awesome a 73% LOL
IKR! I like learning new stuff, but I just don't like school. School makes me feel sad, useless and overwhelmed:(
Probably 25% only like it for socializing and the last 2% actually enjoy doing homework lol
@@joeyholden2748 so true xD
@@joeyholden2748 I'm personally part of the 73% :\
Bilal Rahim i was part of the 73% too but i sold drugs at school so it wasn’t too bad
I should be studying but I'm watching this instead
I watch his videos to get motivation lol
Me too😂😂
GO STUDY THEN
Sorry Anuj Jain, but you’re four months late. Do you think Loucam 7 failed that class?
3018 anyone
I try very hard to enjoy school, but sometimes it gets very difficult. thank you for the help!
I really do think, that when it gets very difficult, that is when I personally start to enjoy it more and more.
Try to think of the hard things as a small challenge that come from time to time and let me tell you the moment you succeed on getting the super hard things done ouh man that feeling is indescribable, Good luck!!
Ayoub I get the feeling you describe. That moment when you understand something you've been trying to understand for days or even weeks, just that perfect feeling...
Ayoub Abounakif Thank you! I needed those words right now. I am excited for the feeling of success when these rough few weeks are over. Have a nice day!
Autumn Pearce I just play video games all day and that’s fun
Same
My main problem with school was not the learning aspect, but rather the fact that I did not have control on what people around me are doing. I enjoy learning and being given work to do! However, I am the type of person that can’t tune people out and I get distracted very easily. This made my school experience less enjoyable because I was not able to get as many things done in a school day because I would either get frustrated or distracted by the people around me. This isn’t to negate the facts that you gave in your video, but is instead to provide another argument for why kids might not have the best experience in school. It was a very nice video and you are very well spoken! You will do very well in the future and I wish you the best of luck in what you want to pursue!
Agreed
So true. This is my problem because I get distracted too easily
is it better now in quarantine?
Same!! I go to a school with a lot of kids who grew up in neglected households and they are so annoying (like not to be rude it’s just honest) they are so inappropriate all the time and swear their heads off!! School would be so much better if I would homeschool but my parents won’t let me
I’m the exact same way it’s so difficult day to day to even learn
Thanks for the useful video and book recommendation! To summarize for students:
1. reject grades as a feedback mechanism
2. set and listen to your own internal heuristic for whether you are achieving goals
3. separate school time and personal time (you'll enjoy both better)
I legit typed up “ how to like school”
Wow 😂...
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA ME TOO
Sameeee
Same
same.
I typed how to love school
Amazing perspective!
Definitely next book I’m going to read. Thank you John
make good friends who don't distract you.
good advice for him.. unfortunately my friends diverted me early and now I only enjoy bad things
Nelson P. Same
The opposite of my friends lol
If Harvard doesn't work out you'll do fine on youtube I can tell
Thats a negative compliment right there
TagerRoxx hahahaha
so this is what a negative compliment is like 😂
It’s called a backhanded compliment
Hey man .... Yes u ...whos reading u got sec ? Plz sub to me ... That would really help an emerging youtuber... thanks have a nice day!
I am a 7th grade history teacher and I showed this to my colleagues and my students. They loved it. Very well spoken
27% of people like school?
Morgan Morbik or don't mind
My thoughts exactly !!
that's one hell of positive way to look at it man!
26% only like it because of the friends.
1% just really like to learn
I used to until I came into the last year of high school, and in my country, there's a system of boards where basically students are put under immense pressure to produce really, really good grades (the cutoffs for getting into good colleges are insane) so that they can get into good colleges. The whole thing is so ridiculous that I'm kind of a sceptic now.
This actually made me feel like I can and should sort my school work out and actually learn instead of suffer.. Thank you John!
I just realized that I have done all of this not acknowledging the steps. In the last year my school experience has gotten so much better. I'm proud of myself!
i have a crush on you because you seem like you have control over what you are doing and you value planning and using methods to get the best out of your life
No homo
Ikram & even if it is homo, that’s perfectly fine and good ❤️❤️😁
I can't wait for this I'm about to start my freshman year of college and after watching your video about mental health along with you other blogs I realized that my school days need to be more than just killing my self with work and then going insane and doing nothing on the weekends until late Sunday night. I need to find a balance. and your videos have not only helped me to realize this but they are also helping guide me to actually doing so! I used to enjoy school but now I feel like it has become synonymous with the feeling of boredom and I don't want that because learning and knowledge is so important and powerful. So thank you so much!
How is your first year going? Im in the same boat
Thanks for this video,I had read Flow before but I forgot it ,after watch this video,I realized again that the most important thing is not what we do ,it’s how you think 🧘🏽♀️
Did you ever meet Lil Tay before she dropped out to save the rap game?
B e the best comment on UA-cam haha 💀😂

you may only find high school enjoyable after you are done with it
Liu Liu True xd
Liu Liu lol yeah when it's about to end
Liu Liu cant wait for that only one year left ☺
Dude that exactly what im going through
only 2 months left cant wait for it to all end
Thanks, John. You've just helped a 67-year-old come to grips with starting a non-profit advocacy group for people with disabilities. I've been talking about doing it for over a year, and now I have begun to outline a business plan. I'm heading over to Amazon to get a copy of "Flow". Thanks for the kick-in-the-pants that I needed.
You look like a cartoon character...
Like from Disney Pixar movies ...
That's look great...
Wth
😂 That's true
You mean Groopert from The Grinch?
LOVE IT
Arlin Moore are you from Harvard?
Sowmya G No
Griffin Ellison okay
Sowmya G He goes to BU
Griffin Ellison BU means??
You should do a 'what's in my phone video'
Yes
I agree, always wondered what he's got in his phone ..
I nominate this channel as the Most Improved UA-cam channel of 2018!
:D
Very inspiring. I know most of these things, because I do search a lot, but is different when you see someone actually doing it. Thank you very much John, your life is helping me change mine.
I also treat school like a game. I always meditate about stuff like for example why I wasted 3 years playing League of Legends and why it was so addicting. And I tried my best to apply the same mechanism in real life. Im also a computer science student in the top college in my country but idk. I was really good at first , very organised , just like you , but it only lasted 1 semester. After that i became lazy ( because idk , everytime I think Im really good at something I just stop and procastinate because i always have the feeling that if Im in top I'll always be on top no matter what - pretty false but hey xd). It's really easy to be organised and reach goals when you're motivated , but when you're in a bad state maybe because of bullying /break-ups /family member deaths , for me , it is impossible. School is so much more , not only grades and learning. Even tho I had good grades , I was always dissapointed that I pretty much didnt talk to anyone while I was in highschool (the last 2 years , 11th/12th grade) and in the long run that also affected my grades/ motivation.
I always try to talk to my classmates but it's not that all good...
Dear John, I'm a junior high school student and your videos have inspired me tremendously. Thank you for your honesty, you are a great person. :) Greetings from Qro, México.
This might seem kind of weird but...you have very nice straight teeth!!
that’s true
I see a spark of genius in this guy. He will be extremely influential some day. I would absolutely read a book you produce, regardless of the topic. The ideas you present are exceptional for a 15 year old looking to achieve Ivy League enrollment. Thanks man, good luck
you're a legend bro keep inspiring people ! much love from london !
I just woke up and didn't want to go to school and now am late but still searching through the Internet how to like school and found this. Thanks dude.
This is HELPFUL 💫I think your talk is the thing I was in need for 💛i agree on sitting goals everyday and how it makes you enjoy life more... actually I started sitting goals for myself for every month and for the first time i feel like i spent a worthy month 💖🌸i really respect the topic you droped in this video and you handled it well 👐i will read this book ❤thank you ...
Thank you for helping me to solve a problem I have had for a long time, during my time in high school, and now in my final year of university, I still feel uninterested in studying. , and your advice helped me a lot, thanks for that
Great points! Totally sold me on the book and I ordered a copy. I'm interested to see if I'm able to implement some of this on my next teacher training. Kids don't seem to like math :D
Aomi Naito Because maths is basically the definition of ’unlikeable’
I disagree. I love maths and I'm studying to make it my job and I think it's super interesting once you get into it but the primary education gives such a distorted and narrow look at what maths is all about.
Aomi Naito I hated math but once you understand the concept you start to enjoy it.
Your opinion is your opinion. Maybe I hate maths because I hate my teacher. Oh and bc maths won’t do shit for me as a pro athlete
Yeah, but math (basic math) is needed to manage your finances. Look what happened to Cristiano and Messi with their tax problems. Cristiano personally said that he has a person that takes care of that because he couldn't due to his education (he just went to elementary).
Wow that gives studying so much more purpose, its so much better than learning just for grades. I know that this will work because for a while now I have been following your daily planning routine (with the schedule, goals and notes) and have been so much more efficient and enjoy doing it, when drawn parallelism with 'flow' technique for school, it only makes sense that it will work out.
WOW, last week I subscribed at 21K subscribers, and a week later your at 70K, congratulations Josh!!!!!!!
I've been loving your videos for a while but the fact that you pronounced Csíkszentmihályi correctly just made you my official favorite. Such a small thing but after hearing so many people butchering his name or just waving it off as a 'or something like this', it made me really happy, so thank you.
Very good video, it’s very interesting the way you can control your body-mind just by setting some goals and it’s caused by dopamine and the satisfaction that it brings to you to be in constant progress, achieving objectives, etc. It’s very nice when you split a big goal into smaller tasks you each time you complete one of those “easy” tasks, you are liberating dopamine, which will keep you going all the way through until you finally get to the end. Greetings from Mexico! ✌🏻
You are amazing. You inspire me so much and do it in a totally real way. I’m a sophomore in high school and 16 and I was struggling this year but you have started to change me back to my A-B (hopefully all A’s next year) self again. You are truly one of my heroes
Inspiring to read more. Thanks for the video John.
Just went to college. I'm a freshman at a boarding school and this video just inspired me so much❤️💯
Awesome useful tips! Can you possibly do a video on how to do the most effective note taking when you’re in a lecture?
Thank you so much! It was really helpful, because I didn't like school before. I watched your video about reading more, and I began reading and enjoying it! You're giving me practical ways to improve my life! :)
That's really amazing video! Loved your personality john💗 keep going, this channel will be great🌸🌸.
I'm In middle school and I can still Relate to this, Thank you so much for this Information / Feedback.
Great video John. I have always loved your videos and your motivational ideas. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK💯
this channel is the best destination if you want to get organized and be more productive, thank you john and keep motivating us
Thank you so much for this vid because instead of looking at my phone when am stuck in a problem I can do something else. And I can rethink my decisions of how to stop slacking off. And thatnks for the book recommendation I am definitely going to read it over the Summer.
Wow I don't think you realise how inspiring and helpful you are. I wished I had a friend like you in school. Keep doing this amazing content videos !!
I'm from Brazil and I really appreciate all of your tips, thank you John! Could you turn on the subtitles in all of your videos? Sometimes you speak to fast, so English subtitles would help me a lot!
Matheus Giron yeah, I'm from Spain and also learning English. oh, btw it's "too fast" not "to fast"
Tiago Avelino thank you bro
You can slow down the videos ;).
the world needs more people like John Fish.
kinda difficult when you go to a pretty ghetto high school :/
Jstn eee that sucks :/
I do too its really way to easy and boring(my grades dipped cause of this still As though) so im just going to a harder school to actually find school enjoyable again
That's all schools.
John Fish, I have been struggling with college for a while. Thank you for your great ideas.
Always inspirational 💪👍
You're helping me a lot to learn English and, of course, to study and to think about a lot of new ideas! So, thank you, I'm very grateful for your videos. Greetings from Brazil.
Interesting video,made me rethink my decisions ! Thanks
*quits high school*
PointlessAndIrrational no man don’t give up hahah
Hang on in there 😁
i was kidding lmao
PointlessAndIrrational and I was joking lmao
I'll just blame the communication process through the internet on that one
I really like your idea of being fully focused on one activity, and tuning everything else out until you get that thing done.
Hey John love the videos. The one thought I had is doesn't relating school to sports reinforce the idea that school is competitive? Because I think one of the biggest things that stresses students out is that feeling that they aren't good enough to be there or that they aren't the smartest in the class.
I'm from Brazil and really appreciate your videos. Greate work!
Amazing video, such an awesome person he is!
The way to go! Congratulations for being a part of the change!
Great video keep it up John!
both of my parents are teachers and they also both taught me to enjoy learning in different ways!! loved this so much:)
Have you ever thought of switching your major? Sometimes your true passion is found in college. Since it is your first year, it is not too late!
I'm majoring in CS with a secondary in film and I'll be taking a bunch of psychology electives! CS is a serious passion of mine, for real. It's just not my entire life.
John Fish did you do any cs type of stuff before college?
John Fish what’s CS? Lol I sound dumb
Mollysbored Computer Science
Mollysbored programming basically
I started reading a book a week because of you. Thank you, its slowly changing my life and focus.
Keep up the good work!!
We're growing😀😀 71K
Rukia Maktal Three days later - 98k!!
Not sure about school, but after watching John fish's UA-cam videos, I start to like reading and studying.
Cool video bro! What do you mean 71k subscribers ?! subbed when you have 8k and that was like few months ago! Keep up the good work.
hes on that grind
Mikey now 75k 😂
Now 95 before i submit the comment itll be 1 mil
124k now
154K now 😱
I was watching you before I studied , you had 89k but when I got back now you have 90k lol. Congrats , and thanks for everything 🙏
Hey John love your videos!
Woah congrats on 72k!!!! You're growing as a channel/brand so fast!!
this teacher thinks your on the right track-well done man
I love this! It's a part of school I feel people don't really talk about. Students are smart, but just get discouraged and demotivated over time then end up achieving less than they are capable of. The answer to doing better in school isn't a new study tip or how to organize your files - it's changing the way you think about school. Thanks John Fish!
Damn he gained 2000 subscribers in like 2 hours
It’s actually easier to implement this if you’re learning in an american, european or any school whose final exams are somewhat recognized abroad. In my home country, which is by the way a post-soviet one, the school system is so depleting and ineffective that it absolutely stresses me. Most of the students who do well in school are focusing primarily on it, without taking any extracurriculars or time to themselves. And then, when you want to send your scores of your finals to universities abroad, they ask you to take another exams that are actually qualified. I am actually applying this flow experience currently at school, even though this summer I need to pass my finals. I am taking German, French, learning more maths and physics for university, reading some really good psychology and philosophy books and going to the gym more often. And it is great! So thank you for this wonderful video. It is really appreciated.
thanks for the videos man.
i totally agree that enjoying school is essential for doing your best. Thanks for the vid)))
Hey John,
I think it would be a great idea if you could tell us generally your thoughts about studying in USA, it's pros and cons, and also recommend on how to find the best fitting university( best possible) for each person. Thanks, another great video!
Frosty Bear in mind that he’s been to school in Canada for his entire life before going to Harvard, so he might not be the best person to ask in terms of U.S. education.
Mathew James i think that’s the point, explaining the pros and cons of going to the states vs uoft or obc or mcgill
iysla alice castelo Misread the question, my bad.
One of the most inspirational and helpful people out there you have helped me with so much thank you for that!
Great video 👍😊❤️
Yes i thought that it's was only my point of view that we should enjoy school by having goals , it's hard but worth it and thanks for the book😊
You remind me of a young JFK. Not just because you go to Harvard, just everything the way you look and your addiction to books. Anyone else the the resemblance?
Rolling Cones no.
this channels growth rate is tremendous. keep up the amazing work!
When will the planners be out John? I would love to plan out my summer goals
Just wanted to let you know how awesome you are about getting your message across to your viewers. In less than 2 weeks you’ve helped me realize why I’ve been in a funk these past few weeks. I now know what I have to do to make sure I finish strong this semester. Thanks John!
Oh boy do i need to watch this video :>
Alon.a after 8th grade i got depressed
I found your videos today and I saw them all in just one day!!! Thanks for fostering great and professional people all around the globe. I am definitely supporting and recommending your channel from now on!
Good stuff. Out of curiosity, what cameras do you use?
Very interesting video) Thank you John!
How do you motivate yourself to working hard and studying?
Study with me videos and just get started
would love to see a video of your digital organizations, how you organize your files on your laptop and apps you use on your phone (school and non school), etc.
love the videos!
Engsub please ^^
I way I do to enjoy school is studying in a group with friends. We can share our notes and we can teach each other. It's a very fast way to learn instead of trying to do it by yourself. Obviously, that worked for me because I study a career in engineering and my exams are about solving problems or deal with practical situations.
I found just getting Ds in highschool made it more fun. You still graduate and you have more time to do what makes you happy. Grades are a terrible thing to measure intelligence anyway. You didn't grade how smart I was, you graded how much I cared, and I didn't at the time. It had no real consiquence.
Jon Spitznagel Good luck finding any good college for your major with those grades, unless you were amazing during SATs and ACTs.
Not trying to attack you but, practically no one cares in the real world about sat scores, gpa etc. Honestly college is practically useless unless you're pursuing something that requires a degree, or don't know what you want to do with your life as college is a great time to explore different activities.
Story Of Ara Sucks to know that I actually require college for actuarial science, unless you got some pointers for free courses concerning that field.
Mathew James ugh I hated accounting I can't even imagine that lol. Again, if what you want to do with your life requires a degree then goto college. I also hope you enjoy your field of work man not many people I meet enjoy finances haha
Is this a joke?
I mean, look at how you spelled "consequence".
I'm in highschool at the moment. I'm really trying to find the fun in school but I tend to struggle so much with concentration and boredom. These videos are really helping me, thank you!
Can’t wait to see you in conversation with Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson • You’re destiny has arrived John Fish •
lmaooo the aspiration for him ofc
Thanks! for making my school experience better, John.
73% 😂😂😂😂😂😂
more like 99%
This is amazing. People like this (with this kind of mindset) should be in charge of the educational system
Bro you're cool
