just used chatgpt to summarize jame's speech: - High-quality work is a result of the time spent multiplied by the intensity of work. - Grades are a consequence of how well one works, and the goal should be to develop a system that produces good grades. - Consistency and focus are key components of a good study routine. - The environment in which one studies can have a significant impact on productivity. - Improving the skill of focus can be achieved by tracking progress, experimenting with techniques, and increasing the intensity of work over time. - Consistency in studying is important for producing results over a period of time.

I am a 20 year old who dragged myself through 12 years of primary, middle, and high school with bad to mediocre grades. Then I did two years of city college where I failed more than half my classes and got put on academic probation. I was feeling hopeless and incapable for a while but in light of some realizations and new life goals I know now that I can try harder, I can get As, and I can succeed - it was never impossible, I legit just believed it was. Thanks for the incredibly insightful video, I know what it feels like to doubt the usefulness of your own advice but what you teach in this 7 minute video I’ve never learned in my life so thank you bro. Wishing you all the victory and happiness, with your work ethic and intelligence you’ll go far 👊 Love the cat!

[@rexklxss13yo]

Thanks for your feedback

[@dee4622]

I'm in the same situation. 20 years old, city college, academic probation. Not proud of it obviously, but I've only recently taken to heart that it comes down to daily and hourly decisions and being attentive and reactive to bad habits. I wish you the best as well, just remember that even though it sucks it's not the worst position to find yourself in the world, we still have an open opportunity, though it feels squandered.

[@MrDgf97]

You can do it man. I was a lazy fuck because I didn't have issues getting good grades without studying or putting the work in, until I started college. After some really humbling failures, I managed to get comfortable with how much time I needed to spend studying and the correct ways to do it. It all boils down to consistency and being smart about it. Pay attention in classes, learn to take good notes, always review what you learned that day on your corresponding subjects, read the chapter ahead of time, and always ask questions to your teacher when necessary. If you're really shy to ask questions in the classroom, there are working hours your teacher provides for you to do so privately. Avoid cramming as much as possible, use it as a last resort, although it won't be that effective.

[@gambaweb]

Based on the information you provided, it seems that you are struggling with maintaining focus due to stress and fear of failure. Here are some suggestions that may help you overcome these challenges and increase your productivity: Acknowledge and manage your stress: Stress can be a major obstacle to concentration. Take some time to identify the sources of your stress and find healthy ways to manage it. This could include practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in physical exercise, or seeking support from friends, family, or professionals. Set realistic expectations: It's important to set achievable goals and not put too much pressure on yourself. Break down your tasks into smaller, manageable chunks and celebrate your progress along the way. Remember that consistent effort and improvement are more important than perfection. Create a conducive study environment: Ensure that your study environment is free from distractions and promotes focus. Minimize noise, keep your phone away, and create a comfortable and organized workspace. This will help you maintain concentration and avoid unnecessary interruptions. Practice deep work techniques: Deep work involves immersing yourself in a task with full concentration and minimizing distractions. Experiment with different techniques, such as the Pomodoro Technique (working in focused bursts with short breaks), time blocking (allocating specific time slots for different tasks), or using productivity apps that help you stay focused. Develop a consistent study routine: Establishing a regular study routine can help train your mind to focus at specific times. Set a fixed schedule for studying and stick to it as much as possible. Consistency will help create a habit and make it easier for you to get into a focused mindset. Take care of your physical well-being: Proper sleep, nutrition, and exercise are essential for maintaining focus and productivity. Make sure you prioritize your health and incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine. Remember, progress takes time, and it's important to be patient with yourself. Celebrate your achievements along the way and continue to strive for improvement. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Good luck on your journey towards success! Best regards, TalkBud

I always found the Pomodoro 20 5 study technique very distracting, because I would just be getting right deep into it around the 20min mark, but watching your live streams I realized how helpful the 50 10 or 60 10 technique is. Before, I would connect around 2 hours of studying and then would probably rest for an hour, or would just never get back to studying, but with your live stream I would easily spend my whole day studying, and enjoy it! One thing I still need to work on is consistency in exercise, diet and sleep.

Great video, absolutely all you need to start getting better and to continue. If anyone reads books, these will help you with studying/work: "Atomic Habits", "Deep Work".

Hey there James! I just wanted to drop how inspiring your dedication is. You're very down to Earth, and are very open as to how 'human' you are. It's a great reminder for me that we all have the capability to work this hard, and actualize our potential. Your example is especially meaningful to me as a person who feels so underwhelmed by their achievements, knowing full well that they have the capability of achieving excellence. I'm a 19 year old University student, studying Physics and Programming with aspirations of getting into MIT. For most of my life I was very complacent in regards to where my life was going. I was raised in poverty and didn't have access to many things growing up. I was a very resentful and cynical teen as a result, but I began to start turning things around late into highschool. I knew from my peers and my performance in school that I had so much latent potential, but it was no one else's responsibility to articulate it except mine. So I busted my ass, enough to get accepted into a UC. Well, now is where the work really begins haha. I knew I had to make a lot of sacrifices to become the person I wanted to be, time in particular. I sometimes feel a bit down, that while my floormates are out socializing and staying up late, I'm in my dorm or at the library studying. But seeing people like you in action is such an inspiration, and it reminds me why I'm doing any of this. I especially resonate with your goal of setting your mother up with a nice house, I strive to do the same :) Keep up the work, you're touching people's lives.

For some reason when I go to work (which primarily consists of editing videos) I tune out EVERYTHING. My phone will just rack up notifications and I just... don't care. I'm not that efficient an editor or dedicated a worker, but I think l the ability to not be distracted by notifications is my single greatest advantage: whatever I'm working on is almost certainly _surely more important than that notification._ Fortunately when you're editing video it's VERY easy to visualize and be cognizant of your efficiency. How many minutes did you edit, and is it good stuff? Furthermore, being able to release my work the moment it's done and immediately get feedback and validation is a big advantage. Kinda different from studying for a test.

[@traderofgodsgt3518]

on a somewhat related note regarding the "we have to make sure that this is a part of our identity now". Its something I have never thought about in the lifting community, but its so true. The months I am most consistent are the ones I see myself as a 'gymbro' and its here I see the most progress. I had a friend who worked out on and off for years now and he never gained an impressive physique or notable change, and after I started training myself I found out he never saw himself as a guy who lifts "competitively". He never made a program or looked into different the exercises, he just went gym to have fun and feel good about himself. All the other guys in my class who lifts regularly talk about lifting / show off their physique and its 100% become a part of their personality. Its the same with my friends who study 2-3 hours/day. Its almost all they talk about (the assignments) and they want to show it off as well (how fast/well they cleared an assignment) Thank you for this advice, it will surely help when I go back to school in a few months

Unconsciously, or consciously I have been melding my life into what I believe to be something better bc of you. From my job, to lifestyle, to fashion sense. It's funny because i'm not the type to have 'role models' but surely you must be one for me. And for that I say thank you. My life today looks different to what it was last year at this time. I genuinely see you as a friend, parasocially of course. I hope this message gets to you well. And again, thank you

My daily work routine is as follows: > Stop studying after 8pm + eat diner watching the news + read a paper book at 9pm > Wake up between 7am and 9am + shower + dress up > Start 25/5 Pomodoro with chrome extension + Lay down with closed eyes during breaks thinking about what you just studied > Long break of 30-40min every 4-5 Pomodoro + do house chores or activities with silence to rest your brain > Repeat It is important to have broad subjects in mind like maths, programmation and finance to improve on the long term without school projects. I prefer to use books and research papers rather than google and youtube.

Currently rereading the book. It is a game changer tbh, and has helped me tremendously in my life. I share that book a lot

[@XX89948]

"Atomic habits" isn't anything special if you compare it to enlisting or commissioning into the armed forces. People look at that book with such a special piece of guidance when it has already been common knowledge to those who serve. It comes to show how distant the newer population are from wisdom nowadays.

[@bingbang5191]

Hello, I was struggling the whole last year to get really good grades in my uni. Your videos helped me going straight and kept me motivated, even if it meant 14h/day of work. Having bad thoughts and insomnia every day even during exam sessions. Now I can finally enjoy the results of my work by getting selected for an international exchange year. Thank you really from Switzerland !

[@JustinSchwiesow]

I think one big thing to add is the importance of Emotional well being as well. For example, If you're depressed and anxious it will be extremely difficult to stick to your study routine. Sometimes you just got to do some deep breathing or take time to address the root cause of some psychological problem

[@dean1111]

as a person with adhd, the "deep working" part was really interesting to me because that is my natural state in studying, and in most activities actually (not saying this is everyone with adhd, some have the exact opposite issue, i think i also got a bit lucky in that aspect). I don't think I could work "shallowly" ig even if I tried, which can be a blessing but also a curse in disguise because my brain doesn't distinguish between productive & non-productive stuff so I could just become hyperfocused on the most useless things and wouldn't be able to get myself to stop really. But the consistency is definitely something valuable to be, my real struggle is just starting with something, the procrastination, and also taking breaks in between. Thankyou for this video, just wanted to share my perspective

[@aurelle1797]

Adhd can be such a blessing and a curse but as I get to know and love myself, I now realize how being hyper focussed is one my my greatest strength, we just have to trick our brain into doing what will actually benefit us. Good luck w everything!:)

[@moonlog254]

That’s so interesting! I’m on the other side with my adhd all the work I do is shallow in 10 minute bursts, I’ve always wished for it to be the other way but reading your side was very insightful. I find it really hard to maintain focus for longer than 10 minutes which leads me to thinking I’ve been unproductive etc it comes with a whole hots of problems ://

As a Software Engineering Manager and former Tech Lead, I can attest to the importance of effective study habits in succeeding in the field of software engineering. There is always something new to learn and staying up to date with the latest technologies and best practices is critical to success in this field. This video provides some great tips for studying more efficiently, such as setting clear goals, breaking up study sessions, and finding the right study environment. I also appreciate that the video emphasizes the importance of taking breaks and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. These strategies can be applied not only to studying for exams, but also to staying current in the field of software engineering. Overall, it's a helpful and practical video for anyone looking to improve their study habits.

James i want to thank you for your streams. ever since i started watching them, i used to struggle to do 4 hours of study and 6 months later, i can do 6 hours or 7 hours of deep work. im excited to see where i'll be in another 6 months or to a year from now. But i also realized that through your streams, i can do well, and i argee with your mindset of building habits, our habits transforms us into who we will be 5 to 10 years down the line. But studying also taught me that good studying and efficient studying takes time. But im making progress, so thats what counts for me!

Great video thank you! :) I am currently reading "the war of arts" by Steven Pressfield. In this book he also talks about the hardest part of doing anything (studying, writing, painting, etc) is to just start. To overcome that resistance. But once you have, it's soooo much easier! And I find that to be so true for myself.

[@yaseminoksuz1882]

I'm 17 now, maybe I'll come back here in the future and take a look for myself. Anyway, it's been a month since I started studying for the YKS exam held in my country. In the end, the department I want to win is "Genetic Engineering", that is, to study the basis of human beings. Your videos have always inspired me and continue to be, thank you for that. We can't always expect our time or energy to be full, let's just say I don't think so. As a result, the intensity and weight of the work or lessons change day by day. The important thing is to resist it as much as we can. If anyone is reading this, please don't forget to trust yourself. God sees you as important, after all, he created you thinking that the whole universe would be incomplete without you, so you can feel even more special. I hope your life always goes the way you want, take care of yourself! ❤
