Tam da ihtiyacım vardı bu videoya sağ ol Ruri

[@whitedark1811]

No, thank you

[@ManitaKaewkhong]

Your background music is too loud at some point.

[@Amar11115]

Ruri, can you please raise your voice against the spam comments? Its really annoying!

[@gustirezaqqi]

Ruri please do live study again cuz I really need to ask you something about workflow, if you don't mind.

[@SoumilSahu]

Great video as usual! Small feedback though: I feel the background music starting around 6:19 is a bit too loud

[@shortsmeme874]

It's like she is freestyle on beat 😂

[@iproipro8278]

Its hella loud and i thought that she put it so we can focus and not get distracted lol

[@anamelo4143]

I was going to say that haha

[@liolalila5424]

Just wanted to write the same in the comments, it's a great video otherwise but the music made it hard to focus

[@Vectone]

Yeah when music kicked in I lost..... focus

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

I've learnt so much from youtube. Without it I wouldnt be who I am now, but at the same time I know it distracts me from my goals and causes procrastination. Its such a double edged sword.

[@nutzeeer]

a really dangerous tool to handle?

[@Green7JR]

I recommend marking all pointless videos as “not interested” and “I don’t like the video.” For example, I do this to all meme videos. Likewise, give 👍s to all useful topics

[@Another_AR]

great idea👍@@Green7JR

[@rkd9325]

Same bro, i have learnt so much from KZbin, i can't imagine my life without KZbin, KZbin has helped me alot to survive in my bad times.

[@ashutosh3658]

[@khalilahd.]

Trying to learn Japanese has been so difficult and the harder the concept the more I loose focus so I definitely needed this video. I’m definitely going to give them a try 🙏🏽

[@MelissaLearns]

OMGGGG I am struggling too! Been trying on and off for years but this year I've made the most progress but still not the progress I hoped to have had at this point. I just struggle to stay focused so much. Best of luck to us both!

[@user-np8zf4qd4v]

I hope you are doing better, I am also learning English, but it is so hard way to learn. Yes, but I really want to speak English fluently and then I want to talk my friends more deep topic like anything. So I need more studying. Oh I’m Japanese by the way. Learning new language is hard but let’s hard work to get each other’s!

[@chimeiamv]

I definitely feel this. I've been stuck in the intermediate slump for a long time and for some reason, it seems vocab and new concepts just don't want to stick in my brain anymore. Also, kanji and reading has become tedious as all hell. I sort of relate to the part of the video where Ruri says that even though something is your passion and you love it, you may not want to touch it for a while because of how much of a grinding process it can be. I want to trust the process but it's just so dang hard at times. Best of luck to you.

[@verificado.]

@@chimeiamv This is happening to me in Japanese too... even though it's a language I really want to learn, it seems to be getting more and more difficult, and discouraging too...

[@chimeiamv]

@@verificado. You don't know how much you don't know until you figure out how much you don't know. That's what it feels like.

[@realchaliss6216]

Hi Ruri, I used to try Pomodoro but didn't work for me either, I found that I can focus and study for more than 25 mins as I wanted to finish the topic that I was studying. Now, I find that studying for 50 mins, taking 10 mins break for 4 sets then taking a long break for 30 mins really works for me btw I've noticed that your voice is covered by the bg music for a few mins from 06:58, I thought maybe bc of editing. Anyway, your content is always really helpful 🤍

[@orwillito]

I was about to say that also the background music downed your voice but we can still hear it but had to concentrate.

[@michawalczyk5242]

@@orwillito She planned this to boost our ability to concentrate :)

[@orwillito]

@@michawalczyk5242 Well played XD

[@creativelym8284]

Ruri, this video is packed with value. Thank you for putting all the variables and parts out there, with structure and clarity!

[@ultratooby]

You are SO useful and inspiring! Thank you so much for pulling me up like this! 🥰 May the best come your way, come on doing your best! 💪

This is exactly what I was looking for thank you ruri💕

[@bogdangrushnyk3373]

Ruri, your advices are so great. Thanks for all you've done and continue to do.

[@MentalHealthPower]

I am so glad you mentioned meditation! This is the thing that really helped to train me to keep my attention on something for long periods! Also glad you mentioned health - when people have stress and unresolved trauma the mind will find ways to get away from any potential perceived discomfort as a way to protect oneself.

[@lxstshinobii9121]

Thank you so much. I'm currently trying these methods to help with the studying process and improving. This was super useful. ♡︎

[@StevenRafael268]

thank you so much ruri for making these kinds of videos! i really love the content you cover :) and it really helps! keep being awesome!

[@linagundam]

Thank u so much, Ruri!! This video help me a lot. Now that I'm in a new semester I want to focus more and being able to have quality time with my family and with myself. I'm right know trying to rearrange my schedule again so that I can exercise, meditate, pray, and have my study sessions. I'll give it a try! Thanks for your hard work! I'll do my best for me, for the people around me and for my future self.💙😁😄💐 Big hugs from Colombia!!!!!🤗

[@navidemami243]

So helpful and well explained! definately subscribing to you now because I like your perspective and general vibe :) I'll start with the focus analysis right away!

[@Yasmin-oq7vp]

thank you so much for these tips and tricks, they seem very useful and I'll def try them in my studying sessions. I'm actually trying to enter obstetrician uni this september and I really need to study for the entrance exam, but lately it's been just impossible for me to concentrate and keep myself on books. Also it's Ramadan so my mind is completely gone, and hopefully when this month will end I'll try to get back on my steps and get myself ready for the entrance exam. So this tips will be def helpful!!!! ty again

[@gam3rszone]

The way you implemented the music to be louder and the voice to be lower so we can learn to concentrate live is wonderful 👏👏

[@carlchan44]

focus 01:16 1 find your type 01:31 1.1 type 1, short but deep. use pomodoro 02:07 1.2 type 2, long but limited. 03:26 2 find you goal type. whole day or time block 04:58 3 calculate your focus. write down record duration(focus) and reason(distraction). 05:38 4 analysis your reason, see pattern. 06:59 5 eliminate distractions, schedule, X phone, place alone 17:10 6 take action

Ruri gerçekten tebrik ediyorum seni söylediklerinden çok üst seviye bi farkındalık seviyesinde olduğunu anlıyorum. Bende tıp fakültesi 4. Sınıftayım bu dediğin yöntemleri kendi kendime bir kısmını deneyip bulmuştum ama sürekliliği gelmedi peşinden. Hepsini bir videoda ve akıcı bir dille toparlamandan dolayı seni tebrik ediyorum. Bu arada altyazısız söylediklerini anlayabilmemden dolayı da kendimi de tebrik ediyorum 😀

Thank you for your vids and your work. They are very informative and helping a lot. And one thing worth to mention: vids are very chill and this mood fits very well. Cheers

Wow. This was posted a year ago, but I just found it. I'm going tro implement the plan and see how it goes for focus. Excellent presentation.

[@hassansong7630]

*Thanks for this video Ruri, you sound like a real person, what I mean with that is that you're not a T800 who can keep studying 24 hours per day without getting distracted, this makes when we hear you sound like a person who has his weaknesses and how to face them, but I want to say you what I learned from my art teacher and is focusing has a limit per day like the Bullet Time from Max Payne and when you get distracted your using focus without knowing so maybe that's why sometimes we don't have enough concentration for our works, keep making this videos they are very useful 👍* *P.D: In the minute **6:00** the background music sounds a little bit loud and doesn't understand what you are saying, but I think maybe is just me.*

[@Angelodki]

Excellent tips, I enjoyed the ideia of turn the mobile in "do not disturb" mode, certainly i'll use this.

[@hsujonathan5221]

good tip! I tried to focus on watching and listening to what you said in this video, but I got so distracted by the background music playing around 7:20. One good tip from my experience is to remember to breathe regularly or take a few deep breaths after a period of time. I often hold my breath unintentionally when I'm too focused on a task, such as watching a movie or driving a car through a crowded city. my friends or colleague would think I was giving a long sigh and raise their concerns about my depression. lol
