It's not a waste if you are resting from your day job that you work all day and night for! Don't be so hard on yourself, everyone needs rest from time to time when they do nothing and clear their mind. That way, you can start the week fresh! :) Cheers!

Summary: There is 3 types of schedules : Everyday schedule : make sessions before school or work so you actually have the energy for it Or choose the time where your energy pick Open schedule: make a deadline for empty day so you go an actually study before the deadline you give yourself Dopamine thoery : when you have that days when you don't want to do anything you just have to do something you really hate then your dopamine pick and you will get motivated to do at least some work In this days you might not be doing as well but thats better then nothing

[@snowy_days333]

I have a test in a few days, my level is shit and I sort of know what I should do but idk what to start with, which exercises to do, which page they're at and all that just demotivates me even more...

[@supersanj]

What helps me is what Atomic Habits says, make doing something easy. I keep my books on my study table open at the page where i left off, and just start. I'm pretty distracted but starting small is always better than procrastinating it all together

[@juliasharma840]

Yes keeping the books open works for me too

[@bluesteelgaming2883]

One tip I took from someone (maybe Huberman?) is to sleep. They said if you keep getting distracted or otherwise can't focus, just take a nap. This means that your whole time is spent choosing between sleep and study. I did that. 30-60 minute nap, then it's a 6 hour study sesh.

[@Darth_Bateman]

As a person with ADHD, it's a game of endurance and a game of subtraction. Subtract distractions, subtract distractions in environments at specific times. endurance being : If I wanted to say read a textbook for three hours, then Id have to spread my hours out especially when learning new concepts. Juggling ideas in my head is mentally exhausting.

[@kimsuji5126]

Girl… same, i try to write down whatever idea I get immediately (because of that I have lots of sticky notes laying around😂 and lots of notes on every notebook I won) and I organise them weekly or whenever I feel a rush of motivation to do it. Also if you feel all over the place and lots of tasks in mind, declutter cuz its likely that you have something in mind that you don’t wanna forget or your plan has changed so create a checklist of everything so you can plan them later. No naming the checklist (or maybe name it decluttering checklist) and put everything in there. Then when you’re planning your week or day check it. 😂also mine never gets empty so don’t worry about it, most of the time it’s very small tasks

[@Moocow2003]

i have adhd too and i have a note pinned to my phone home screen for ideas for goals i'd like to achieve this year. i find, because i know i'll forget things, if i have a "really good idea" i don't want to stop thinking about it so i don't lose the idea and the motivation to achieve it. just writing it down clears that out of my head and also gives me a clear idea of the kind of person i'd like to be by next year. for example, i'd like to be the kind of person who donates blood and makes time for personal programming projects :)

[@nicolenkunzi4661]

My ADHD has reached a point where none of this works for me. I am simply not in control of my own brain anymore....

[@jadedelborrello9773]

@@nicolenkunzi4661 Hey dude, same, but let's stay hopeful! I have tried everything under the sun and no matter how much I enjoy the task, no matter how close I have til a due date, it ends the same. But we can't give up! EVENTUALLY, WE WILL WIN!!

[@Darth_Bateman]

@@nicolenkunzi4661 you gotta cut stuff out. Obese people have a condition where because their mothers ate lots of carbs while they were in the womb, their brains lack the ability to properly send a signal that tells them “I’m full, stop.” If being obese is to food control. Having ADHD is to dopamine control. Your sources of it need to be more pure. You CAN indulge in things like TikTok and KZbin and video games , but it will basically ruin your life. Incidentally: it’s easier to abandon drug use for non habitual use with ADHD. Habitual use however?

Generally such a nice video.I’ve got mocks coming up and have been revising but I keep losing motivation really needed this. Don’t know why it’s so underrated def deserves better. The advice is well strong and straight to the point with actual references,studies and evidence. Also love the little gifs and clips included. The editing must’ve taken ages!!

"I can feel my dopamine dipping rn" 😂 Tina, I have been binge watching your videos for the past few days and I'd like to thank you for creating such amazing content. I love how you back up your points with reputable research & sources. My major was in sociology and as a researcher I ran into your videos while searching for answers on how to adapt my skillset into this changing world. I also have to say that I find your trajectory quite inspiring. Hope you keep up with the content, and if not, you have a renaissance soul and we can not blame you for it :)

I have been a long time fan from when you were still at Meta and I'm so amazed at your level of video editing!!! Your videos have always been great, but with every new video especially recently since leaving Meta I feel like your edits (from the background videos to subtle audio transitions) are on a whole 'nother level! Thanks for always putting out the great content that you do! 💛

[@thelifewithnate]

Her video editing skills are something that I have been studying to upgrade my own KZbin skill. Mine is super low since I started about a week ago, and it already has been a learning experience so far. Tina's video editing skills are another level!

[@TheDeepsz]

Thank you so much for pointing out the time management vs energy management. My schedule is so scattered because of general shift work timings and evening meetings with the US team, that I have to go to the gym whenever I can make time. But then after the gym, freshening up, late evening meetings and dinner, I just don't have any energy left!!!! Your video solved a big problem in my schedule management.

this video came at the right time in my life when I was asking the universe for answers why I am stuck in thoughts when I really should be paying attention to what I do. this video was hugely important for that revelation!

[@thelifewithnate]

Here is a handy tip as well: keep a journal and write down your vision and anti-vision. Your vision should be what you want out of life with those same answers you seek. Your anti-vision is what your life will look like if you do not change at all. That helps me when I am asking the universe for answers! :) Hope it helps!

Hello Tina, Great video. I could really resonate with the concept of energy management and time management...extra thumbs up for that. The dopamine theory that you discussed was a bit difficult for me to understand so I am going to rewatch that specific part of the video again. As a suggestion when you are explaining specific concepts in your video I feel it would be wise to tone down the background music that you use in the video as it distracts the viewer from what you are saying.

Resume of all self help videos and books: 0. The most important: don't consume self help videos or books and work on your goals instead 1. Set goals 2. Divide your goals in small goals 3. Don't watch and read self help videos - books anymore 4. Make a schedule and follow it ( If you will study from 9pm until 23:30 every day, just do it) 5. Avoid using social media as much as possible 6. The most important: don't consume self help videos and work on your goals instead 7.The most important: don't consume self help videos and work on your goals instead

how do we find out what kind of baseline dopamine do we have?

[@itsmekarishma_____128]

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@mridulsharma8328]

For work/school days, the best time to self-study is in the morning when you have the most energy. For open schedule days, you need to create a specific deadline for yourself to avoid procrastination. For unexpected schedule days, do a dopamine hack to get a burst of motivation. The dopamine hack is to do something that you really hate, like taking a cold shower or doing push-ups. This will cause your dopamine levels to dip and then come back up, giving you a burst of motivation.

[@Mohith7548]

Key takeawy: Do what your body hates to get back or even increase your baseline dopamine levels -> helps to clean to rott out.
