"Time management only works, if you have time to manage." This is so spot on! Too often we have the opinion that we're lacking in management and/or organization, when it's really the time we are lacking of! Once again, another amazing video with realistic tips that are softened by your humour :)

[@daysiflores2425]

Can you please make a video on the most effective way to study and how to retain information from a couple of years ago Love your channel keep up the good work xx

[@dorthysavage6660]

Be a tutor for that subject. Thats how i kept ochem and bio to stay in my brain

[@sophiageorges2492]

Thank you for the great tips! Could you go over how to prepare for standardized, multiple-subject tests like the ACT and/or SAT?

[@fijigoya1236]

She said that she didn't study that much for the SAT, so this might not be the best topic for her

[@giannirivera699]

Marie Curie just be good?

[@sz2760]

I recommend getting the Princeton Review for SAT Prep from a bookstore. It's a giant yellow book, but you most definitely don't need to do all of the pages. And there's also an app for vocabulary (Princeton Review)

[@CharltonLepkofker]

+Dorthy Savage did taking calc really help with the math? Because that's where I struggle. I get like 4 wrong on the reading, 2 wrong on the grammar, and then I can't finish up the math sections. I'm not even bad at math; I've taken 2 community college math courses, yet the sat math just always seems too tricky (I haven't taken any kind of calc course yet).

[@dorthysavage6660]

Yeah cus you can use a derivative to find many things. It mostly helps rush through the graphing related problems. And usually in calc you have to know all the basic foundations of algebra(log,ln e^x.....) by heart to even finish a calc problem fast. And since the sat doesn't go past alg2. Calc kids most of the time do really well.... but not alot of juniors take calc. Usually the juniors who were always up one math level have just finished calc or already went over derivatives and have mastered the basic alg foundations to kill the math portion

[@rsp2273]

Hi! Can you please do a how to take notes while doing the reading assignment video? I LOOOOVE your videos!

[@fijigoya1236]

YESSSSS

[@SirHadoken]

Is it possible that you could do a video on group projects? You know, particularly the ones where your group partners slack off and you end up doing 90% of it by yourself?

[@donedumi-leslie5304]

If there's no video up, reply to let me know and I'll pour out the best I have on that.

[@ileana5299]

[@fireyros3349]

Kill them and dump their body somewhere nobody can find it

[@SuccessisTheGoal]

I like how you mentioned looking back at past assignments and then adding 25-50% more time on the next one! SO many of my students have an unrealistic concept of what it really takes to complete work. Preventive measures, YES!!!

[@renatofasantos]

The way you talk, your style is so amazing! Thank you for all your tips. Lots of love from Brazil!

Will you make a video on how to become a better writer?

This!!

[@Germs0o]

And speaker!

[@maplestoryinchinese]

Please!!

[@whosaidthat84]

word vomit. pretty much, if you have a paper due, your first step is to write anything and any everything that comes to your mind. it can be sloppy and unorganized but that's fine. after that, you'll see your ideas flowing like a river. then you extract the parts you like and the ones that make the most sense. those ideas will become your main points. example: if you have a paper on abortion, you'll write about its moral implications, social, economic, legal etc. that's just a good idea on getting started

[@danalabun7342]

I love how you give actually useful and realistic advice instead of very general guidelines one has heard a million times before - thank you for putting so much effort into making your videos!!

[@benell1212]

I want to see a video on how to approach standardized tests, not how to prep for them, but what to expect going into them.

[@juliarud9140]

I love your videos! They're unique, helpful, and from the heart. I really appreciate all the time and energy you put into making your content :)

[@salembosaabaa11]

I like the way you express your ideas honestly speaking I was shocked by the way you were moving your hands. This indicates that you're a knowledgeable person. Good luck darling

[@Livelaugh44]

I love how many of your recent videos are about academic topics. Thanks for the help! :)

[@soniadicker]

She gives me Nina Dobrev vibes.

[@jimmymckinney5496]

Only been watching for the past week or so and I'm in love with your videos and your charismatic personality (and even your stained tooth). By the way, "Don't Worry Be Happy" is by Bobby McFerrin and not Bob Marley. As for academic topics, could you give advice or explain your daily routine when teaching English abroad? I'm actually moving to Belgium to teach ESL and so I'll be in a similar boat to you. I was hoping to get some tips from other ESL/EFL teachers.

[@barrett_wg]

honestly I'm so happy I found your channel! I love your personality and the little accent things you do for a few seconds at a time or if that is real its nice still too, and I really love doing time management so I also like that, I needed to know the tip on knowing how to stop since I tend to multitask everything and have panic attacks and it's not fun, so I definitely will be working on that tip for sure!

[@fredymendez3864]

Love your sense of humor and thanks for the advice

[@spanishlessonstech]

Funny your confusion with convenient and appropriate, it's a sign that you speak fluent French or Spanish (conveniente in Spanish is appropriate)! When it comes to time management and workflow, I like the classic Getting Things Done. You'll benefit immensely If you can take this 3 habits out of it: 1. Have a reliable capturing system, so your mind doesn't need to hold ideas, just create them. 2. Have a "Waiting for" list, anything that needs to happen and is outside your control, must be written down. It gives you a great sense of control. 3. Organize your actions in contexts, for example, things you need to do on your PC, things you need to do outside, things you need to do in your phone. This way, batching is a lot easier. Sometimes I think going back to the basics is the best way!

[@MA-bq4rm]

you're by far my favorite person online

[@theriemannbreaker8174]

Video Suggestions: 1. Given how much calculus you took while in high school, why did you choose to major in economics as opposed to math, stats, science or engineering? | 2. How do you learn each section of a chapter (math)? | 3. How do you prepare for a midterm and/or comprehensive exam (math)?

[@cesarlara3974]

Also, how many all nighters did you pull in a week?

[@fijigoya1236]

If she prioritized sleep and homework, probably none

[@jackwinterblade8088]

um no. at least one all nighter. it doesn't matter if you prioritize everything, which is literally the case for almost everybody in harvard, you still might have to pull an all nighter

[@alaynahanson2549]

Late response here...but to all future readers of this comment thread: there is no benefit whatsoever to pulling all-nighters! Your brain functions much more poorly when it’s deprived of sleep, so any information you attempt to cram overnight is not going to be committed to memory. Even if you feel more accomplished after an all-nighter, you aren’t going to retain any of that knowledge. Reneau mentions in the video to “know when to stop,” and mental/physical fatigue is a solid indicator that you should call it quits. Of course, this is easier said than done for people who have other full time commitments outside of school, but the fact remains that cognitive functioning is nearly impossible without proper sleep. Take it from me as a P.T. grad student with intense lab/study hours, or look it up if you don’t believe me, lol. xx

[@tss735]

As a high school student entering college this fall, I am curious about how college academics is different from high school. What steps can I take to excel in college?

[@dorthysavage6660]

If your a stem major then the classes are going to be intense and way harder than your HS ap classes..... but if your a business/arts/communications major then your classes are going to be easy af

[@sk8tie]

Not true. I know a lot of people that are awesome at STEM but the thought of writing an essay gives them immense stress. It's just very different from each other

[@jenjencurls]

Dorthy Savage I know someone who dropped out because they couldn’t stand writing essays... that’s an individual case, and I’m sure there were other reasons, but I know many people do not like writing papers. Psychology is one of the most intensive majors when it comes to writing. Yet people love talking trash about it, saying how easy it is and how people choose it because they cannot do anything else. I know people who say their engineering classes were very easy, while their art classes were challenging. Everyone learns differently. So whats easy for you, may be hard for others. What’s easy for others may be hard for you.

[@jenjencurls]

How was your first year?

[@outspokenyid]

Katie B. I agree...I transferred from a stem program to a business program, and I’m actually finding it more difficult, because business has more conceptual things you have to understand, whereas with science and math, a lot of the time if you are good at it you just have to practice it a lot, and you are almost guaranteed high marks.

[@melaphant2149]

I love your sense of humor. I always enjoy watching your video. Also, you look great :)

[@raneem-tm7vt]

Heyy, first things first I'd like to say that I LOVE your personality and chill outlook on life, it's quite refreshing honestly. Anyways, I would love if u do a video possibly where you can mention some books that were influence, inspiring, or just ones u found helpful in some way. It doesn't matter what genre. Other than that, just keep doing what ur doing girl :)

[@sandrac.8155]

I just love you. You're an amazing person.

[@elyssatruman1292]

I think this is the first time I've watched a time management video and not been procrastinating in doing so

[@color2066]

YES. Just so much yes. This is awesome

[@michaelmartinez8365]

Humans can do anything but since we make each other (by that I mean our interactions with others form our identity) we sometimes do things that can help us or sadly hurt us. Stress is normal but we need the relief and the key to optimized learning and time management is to release it at the appropriate places with the right mentality. “Burn out” is a thing and it is never good, that’s why sleep, healthy diet, and exercise are the 3 best things to start forming good habits. For someone like me, being American born raised from Latino parents not from this country, to be the first to go off to university was a huge moment. All their work and struggles paid off and in that moment of my acceptance was the greatest moment of my life. I had a fascinating major (Architecture) and I was ready to do all the academics but struggled with personal life issues. I let it overcome me which was foolish but somewhere in a parallel universe I graduated 2 months ago. Anything is possible, you just need a support system and positivity in your life and any moment can change for the better. I had to give things up but I tried to go overboard on a lot of things, but the experiences and knowledge will stay with me for the rest of my life, even though I didn’t get a piece of paper in the end. I don’t know what it is about female students, they always seem to be the most self-driven and wisest and form the best habits earlier on in their lives. The laugh and smiles and all the things that make them curious, it always relaxes me.

[@mohamedameri360]

I'm troubled with sleep, I don't know how to nap I fkn "sleep" 2-3 hrs after getting back from college at 5 PM. That leaves me like 7 hrs for the rest of my whole non-college week day

[@4everdrysocks140]

I toured Harvard just a few days ago! It was absolutely amazing... you're definitely my role model! I know you were an economics major and that is the path I also want to take. How much stress was it for you at Harvard with a major like economics? Did you feel like you had enough time for social activity or did you feel stressed all the time? Love your videos by the way :)

[@epicpandah4607]

Maybe you could make a video on decrease of motivation throughout and school year, and says to avoid burnout periods? Thanks so much, keep up the fantastic work !!

[@edwardelkins8723]

Junior public college time management, I took 12 to 15 classes each term for several terms, how 4 to 6 course credit classes and lots of extended learning adult education classes , then lots of online ed2go courses and Universalclass.com. One term I remember taking Italian cuisine 5 to 6 credit courses, a bartending course, a real estate course through remax, and a sound recording course. Plus several online courses like purchasing, how to deal with difficult people, logistics, business math and more. However I did a few PE classes each term, I pretty much slept in my car, I got up at 6 am out the door at 7am at school by 8 am and I was there until 9 pm each night normally, an hours drive home so home at 10pm then I would study until 2 am to 3 am sleep a few hours, get to school drink as much chilled Frappuccino as I can, then with jitters from caffeine I would fight to keep my eyes open for morning class, sleep a few hours until my next class unless I had one back to back, any classes I didn't get the studying done for the night before , I would study in my car or library , then try and find some time to sleep in the parking lot. I did most of my sleeping in my car in intervals of 30 minutes to an hour , if I was lucky I would have a 3 to 4 hour gap between a class and really get some good studying and sleep in. My social life usually was taking PE classes or some kind of extended learning non credit cultural class like a bartending course or tailoring course, art class , a comedy improv theater class, bowling, archery, golf , ect.

How do you effectively remember information you studied? I find myself studying and taking notes and then when I get to a new chapter I have to flip back to review concepts. Thank you

[@JMontage]

I feel like that's pretty normal and healthy for the learning process. But you can always try highlighting information as you go, creating review sheets right after you finish a chapter, or even pretend teaching the content from a chapter afterwards.
