Hello sir,could you tell us what's the right strategy to ace any exam? Knowing a subject is a different matter and getting a very good score ,it certainly requires a very good strategy.Could you plz tell us, sir?

[@dileepdynamics3438]

Hi sir

[@dt_99]

The ultimate flow state example is an engineering undergrad preparing for the exam on the previous night of the exam

[@pritamdeb7638]

Exactly !

[@bhaskarmishra8479]

couldn't agree more:)

[@caliberpheonix]

How do you do it??I get panicked and end up doing nothing 😭😭

[@gaana8377]

1. Have an immediate clear goal that you care about 2. Task should be at the right difficulty level 3. Get feedback on how you're doing 4. Deep concentration Are the 4 things for be always in flow and watch the video for examples on how to do it

[@awendeachenoa7099]

Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in a twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you are no longer accumulating but withdrawing its hard to be anything but cautious.

[@stephanierowlandhall3801]

Man! I had a profit return of $ 27,000 USD trading with her last week.

[@marylindamoore4689]

No doubt Allison Taylor Casey have really made trading easier for me than I expected

[@amandasteiner5364]

my portfolio/investment manager Allison Taylor Casey has an investment platform where you don’t need to stress on your trades all you need to do is invest and watch your trade grow from your dashboard

[@sophiabrookes879]

Believe me friends I used to lose so much trading till was introduced to Mrs Allison Taylor Casey strategy. Now after 16 days, I've made $7,900 and feel confident of making more in the coming monthS...Thank you Mrs Allison Taylor Casey for guiding me into the world of Binary option

[@nolandoehass4610]

I invested £ 3,000 with Allison Taylor after I met her at a conference in London she made me profit of £ 11,790 in just 7--- 14 days of trade with her and I invested more

[@dikshakaushik8966]

Nice concept, what I really like about your videos is that u don't change frames or add music in between and that leads to better understanding of the topic being spoken

[@deepamishra1814]

While watching your videos I feel the pleasure of being in flow.😊

[@unknownnumber6083]

1 instant goal 2 med level task 3 concentration 4 feedback quick Flow

Productivity tips Rajan Singhji, thank you for the video on getting into the flow state to increase productivity. You mentioned that there are 8 conditions, but presented only 4. Can you please present the remaining four? Thanks! Here is my summary of this video, on how the flow state can be created even in our daily life. Deep absorption. First condition for Flow: Have a short term goal. For this, keep strong narrow focus towards an immediate clear goal (on the task at hand). Do not think of anything else. Eg. rock climbing, playing a video game, working on deadlines, exams. You could create an (artificial) deadline for yourself even by committing to a close friend. Second condition for Flow: The task should not be too easy or too difficult, (or I would add unimportant), otherwise you could lose interest in it. In other words, the challenge and ability should be equal. Third condition for Flow: Get feedback on how you could improve. (I would add feedback could come from sources such as an external observer, or testing your learning). Fourth condition for Flow: Remove possible distractions. Example cell phone, etc.

[@prakashahir8137]

"Person to person difference in this wold is perhaps in their concentration only ".

[@foreveryours1930]

As always, spot on and thank you 🙏🏻. We can mention one more thing in point 1 that’s if you are doing a task that truly interests you ( you mentioned care for), flow state is easily achieved. For eg I can’t achieve flow state while playing video games but when i am dancing.

[@akshattewari]

I experienced this flow state in class 9th final term History exam in 2013! Read 12-13 chapters twice in about 36 hours, and then scored 74/80 in the exam. But, I've tried doing it again, but in vain. It doesn't pull of. I guess, discipline is more important and rewarding than the flow state.

[@satendersingh4882]

I started watching your videos sir. They are very useful and unique, your all tips are practical and helping us lot. Thank you sharing your knowledge with us.

I can always relate to your messages, unconsciously I have been doing these things. But never realised it. It would be great if the lamp behind you could had been switched off. Let's reduce some emissions atleast.

[@incognittooo]

You have given a life changing advice and i really value the fact that you quoted the source of your advice. Normally people give advices but they don't back that up with evidences, so that we can be sure of the credibility of the given advice. You are explaining it so well and are also quoting the source which is incredible.

[@entaditorium]

I like this approach as well. Some folks called it the 'Pomodoro' technique.

[@prakharmishra6874]

Well, Pomodoro is a technique where you do 25 minutes of continuous work and then take next 5 minutes as relaxation period to regain concentration. But once you are in the flow state you won't be needing to take breaks inbetween as you will be immersed deeply in the work. Thank you

[@entaditorium]

@@prakharmishra6874 precisely. even with 25 minutes it becomes intense. More than 30 minutes at stretch may not be suitable for everyone IMO.

[@abhishekbedare]

How to do the tasks which are much above one's ability?

[@krishnansudharsanam6919]

Hello Sir, Great concept and explain in a crystal clear fashion. I have experienced such flow state, it was a normal day at office, i started my day at around 9 Am. Was working till 4.30, planned to check with the team how are things, found 1 guy bit tensed and got to know he is sinking terribly and my instinct said i should help him. It was project go-live but missed lots of documentations and signoffs. we started together and works the whole night, extended till the next morning at 11:30, not even a single min of sleep, of course, made the entire US team stay for us to provide sign-off. we successfully finished it and it gave a great sense of accomplishment. But my question to you is, in fact next day, i felt extremely exhaustive and infact while driving back home at around 12 PM next day, i pulled over at the side and slept on the steering wheel for 15 to 20 mins or so. why do we feel soo tired, will the flow state, consume more energy than usual or is it state of mind that am tired and I was getting sleep signals.

[@akshattewari]

Of course, it consumes more energy, but also gives better results...

[@inderpalsingh3147]

[@KomalMYM]

Thank you Sir for this amazing video. I'm practicing touch typing for few days and being a serious procrastinator, I was pretty sure that I'll quit it after a week or so. But surprisingly it's been a month now and I've achieved speed of almost 50 wpm. This small achievement means a lot to me, and now I got the reason behind it. It is nothing but the state of flow. The site I'm practicing on sets small goals and compares and tracks one's progress. That was the main reason behind the consistency. Now I know what works for me, thank you once again sir!

[@deepamishra1814]

After doing this typing skill what will you be able to do I mean how it works for you in which thing if u Don't mind pls tell.... only wanted to know after reading your comment nothing else....😊

Me also in tuch typing at starting I think i am not able to do it but in 2 wee k I reach 30 wpm ❤️

[@rajukhubchandani4841]

@@deepamishra1814 These days, almost every desk job requires typing on a keyboard.

[@KomalMYM]

@@deepamishra1814 Hey Deepa! Touch typing is nothing but being able to type with a good speed without looking at the keyboard. Basically you use your muscle memory to remember which key is located where. Your fingers automatically start moving in the required directions once you practised enough. It is easy and anyone can do it too. Also an important skill to survive in today's desk jobs culture. Hope this helps 😄

[@KomalMYM]

[@Sahasrara1008]

Om Shanti

[@satish918]

Excellent and thought-provoking presentation, as always by HabitStrong... It appears that a prerequisite to achieve the flow state is intrinsic motivation... My question: Is there some way to facilitate the creation of a flow state in another person why is not motivated, say a boss in an employee who has an apathetic attitude towards work, or a teacher in a student who doesn't care a damn !!... Please share some thoughts, either here or ideally in another video about motivating others.

[@HabitStrong]

When someone is working under a deadline, even if the work itself is not that interesting you can get into that level of concentration which is required for Flow. Or if they are writing an exam.

[@thestoicfella]

But no-one is there to help me with a quick feedback. I'm all by myself. This makes things a bit tedious. I get fatigued by the sheer repetitive nature of the thing I'm into. In studies, revision is what I detest. So all my knowledge is not translating into concomitant result. I feel drained.

[@HabitStrong]

Take frequent tests. That's the best way for feedback in studies.

[@ranjnadogra7709]

U r doing a great job 👏

[@prashanthsreeram5614]
