Stop watching study videos.

is this you you struggle to study so you look up tips on YouTube after hours of content and hundreds of tips you decide to try a few you don't get the results you want so you go back to YouTube to find more new tips that no one has said yet it's an endless cycle that feels productive but is actually holding you back from good grades this video is the ultimate solution to all your study problems you do not need another study tips video there's a reason why you're still not getting the results you want what

you need is to rewire your mind and I'm going to show you exactly how I did that to become valedictorian while maintaining 8 hours of sleep and playing Varsity Sports yes unfortunately these eye bags are genetic this is probably the most important academic video I've made yet because as a straight A student who is not a genius by any means did I get that by watching hours and hours of study tips videos on YouTube no I didn't even know they existed I'm not about that gatekeeping so I'm literally going to share with you the secret

to actually get the grades and every single achievement that you want in life I was a bit more serious more harsh less Smiley in this video but I just care so much about you Reaching Your Potential because on the internet and with kids wanting to become ticktockers nowadays there is just so much lost potential and I think that it's really hard for young students to realize will actually pay off more in the long run because I've talked to several adults actually who really regretted their decisions they made when they were a student so I'm just

super passionate and I just really really want to drive this point home hence the seriousness but as always much love and I believe in you here's everything we're going to go over today yes the last one is about how study tips videos will help you I make study videos too I'm not about to shoot myself in the foot okay but if you've watched my videos before you will know that my study tips videos are unique two important things before we get going one you do not need sugar coating I've seen so many productivity videos or

like that angry buff man like yelling at you right but I don't see any of that kind of attitude towards students in study videos which okay I get it cuz students are usually younger right you don't want to like hurt their feelings so I see a lot of study YouTubers who are quite nice I'm pretty nice too I hope but it's even more important for students to get their life together because if you don't I guarantee you are going to be so regretful you are at the age where you have literally all the opportunity to

choose what trajectory your life is going to be at if you think about a golf ball being hit right the farther the ball gets hit at a different angle the bigger the difference that angle is going to make as time goes on so the earlier you are in your life the bigger difference and the more success you can have later on sometimes I get comments saying grades don't matter school's overrated college is is overrated you know what those are probably the people who didn't work hard enough in school and are subconsciously regretting their choices because

they don't have that dream life they might be seeing on the internet so they're going to be taking it out on people and discouraging other students that's how they try and cope with it and guess what even if they did try to change and improve now that's going to be nowhere near the results that you can have if you actually try right now as a student number two this video is applicable to you any time and honestly even if you're not a student anymore because even if you're in the beginning of the school year and

you're all fired up to go this video will help you even if you only have a few months left of school this will help you to actually bring your grades up before the year ends even if you are in summer you can use this video to be rewiring your mindset to be more successful in any aspect of your life and when you do go back to school you will be ready to go already ahead and you will actually start and continue the school strong as we will discuss later a big problem that students have is

that they try something or they start something and it's great in the beginning but then they fall off very quickly ouch section one why study videos are not working for you the biggest reason is sorry I had to burp the biggest reason is you're taking a cop out you are either procrastinating or you are looking for someone else to have all the answers to your special unique life looking for someone to hold your hand and make everything five times easier but the bottom bottom line is is that you are not thinking yourself instead of taking

a moment and being like what can I do better why am I not getting the grades I want you are going instead on YouTube to listen to other people to distract you from the your current situation you are purposefully distracting yourself to avoid not only the work but also the thinking to problem solve yourself out of whatever situation you're in how do you know these people on the internet are even credible okay so like I can give you my diploma to show you I did get valid torian and I got into calch and got a

4.0 right even then how do you really know that the person who can just put out a video has all the answers to your life and I know sometimes you're desperate right so you will go comment on a video I have this specific situation where I have a test in 2 days please help me your time would be better spent stopping your work right there and looking at your stuff from an outside a third point of view so you can be your own coach I've gotten comments from you that say how do I cut my

screen time how do I increase my focus well first of all good to be aware that your focus is an issue but you already know how to cut your screen time you just do it there are plenty of videos out there you're just not doing it I bet you could think of those tips yourself if you actually triy to use the smart brain that you were given you have to have more confidence and Trust in your own ability to give yourself advice you have to boost your ego a bit and be like what's so special

about that person on YouTube I bet I can give just as good as advice as that person so yeah do it and say that advice to yourself another reason the videos aren't helping you need to learn by doing so this was actually an efficiency study tip where I said that you can learn better by doing the homework instead of studying first same thing you can study all the study videos that you want but if you do not do and actually live your life and study and go through the struggles you will not actually learn the

good habits that will serve you now and that will serve you later in life after studying through a test with a certain way and you get a bad grade there you go now reflect on what you did and see how you can do better that's how you iterate and improve over time there is a photography class the teacher splits the groups into two the first group of 50 people is instructed to take just one picture for the entire semester and they have to submit that the second group of 50 people is instructed to take 100

pictures and to submit their best one which group do you think submitted the best pictures of course it's a second group because they literally tried 100 times already so you have to learn by doing and going out there to experience life yourself you have to make yourself uncomfortable take that hard class and that will make you a stronger student reason number three study videos are not helping you scientifically proven means very little scientifically proven what I'm sure that these researchers did do good science but unless it's proven by yourself to work it literally does not

matter if someone said it's scientifically proven when people contrast their fantasies about a desired future with Reflections on their present reality a necessity to act is induced that leads to the activation and use of relevant expectations you need to think I'm the only proof I need to see if this tip is actually leg that also ties into the second reason I just gave I think students will watch a video that has all these fancy terms and scientifically proven stuff and they'll try and they'll be like oh my gosh this isn't working there must be something

wrong with me no that's you taking a passive role in your studies and Improvement you have to take a more active role and believe again that you are the expert that you can decide for yourself what works the fourth and final reason why they're not working for you is that you are not staying consistent or you not even starting you watch the study video and it sounds so legit it sounds so great and you are kind of putting yourself in the shoes of the person that would do that tip and you feel so motivated cuz

you can imagine yourself succeeding but that's just a temporary boost of dopamine right you get it you feel motivated and then you do nothing you have to go back and watch another one because that gives you another boost of dopamine which again is useless even if you do start you're kind of forcing yourself to do the tip but the reason you can't stay consistent is because your body body is in dissonance with your mind your mind is thinking oh my gosh this is so hard all I want is good grades so you know what I'm

going to force myself to do this and your body is like forced and of course that's not a sustainable way to do a habit consistently you are not balancing ying and yang this is something I talked about in a previous video the concept is that your mind being positive is going to influence your actions to be positive and your actions doing something good for you is then going to go in a Circle and influence your mind to be even more confident so yingyang goes in a circle and mutually perpetuates itself such that you can improve

faster and faster and more easily the only way that study tips video will be effective is if you watched it with the intention of taking action as a reward instead you watched the study tips video with the intention for that reward to be either motivation or a dopamine that helps you procrastinate so clearly from this section you can see that your mind is the issue so how do we rewire our brains if you are working on something meaningful it's going to be difficult so there will be stress except that having some stress is good because

that means you're actually pushing yourself but you know when that becomes an issue it's when you start saying things like I'm afraid I'm going to fail oh I'm so nervous about the test I don't think I can get it all done because I'm so behind do you notice Noti that these words are all negative you only hear that negative thing and the more you hear it and have the fear of the negative is actually going to make it more likely to come true so what you have to do is change what you say instead of

being like I don't want to fail you have to say I want to get an A instead of saying I don't want to fall behind say I want to get ahead your psychology affects the ability and ease of doing productive things I am so powerful my mind oh it amazes me sometimes and this is evident from sports psychology so coaches will tell the players make the basket but they will never say don't miss because as a say basketball player if you hear don't miss that's the word that you are latching on to so your brain

subconsciously consumed that word Miss and you're more likely to miss instead your brain has to be biased toward the positive result therefore making it more likely to happen that was the first tip say the positive the second one is kind of like it's sister but it's affirmations the issue is that you can say I'm smart and you can say I'm good at school all you want but that's not the right way to have affirmations okay what to do instead for your affirmations and what I did would be like I'm smart because I know that if

I study for these 3 hours tonight I'm going to get an A do you see how I added a reason with that because here's another way I know I'm good in school because I keep my files organized in both cases the things that come after because are a habit because I associate that habit with being smart or good in school which are positive things that encourages me to keep doing those good things like study and keep my files organized say the compliment about yourself and add because if I did this then blah you must know

that your dream self that star student academic weapon already exists within you you just have to take the steps to bring it out you have to be able to visualize two paths this is your star student self this is your lazy Student Self this star student self exists as a very strong possibility not even a possibility it is a guarantee if you take steps on the path to be the star student and you know what those steps are you know it would be to study right it would be to get off YouTube it would be

to get off Tik Tok and you also know what the steps are to that lazy student path do you see how if it's clear to you what you could become of course you would do the right things because you know that if you did you would become that star student you always wanted to be in fact your future self is looking back and counting on your current self to choose the right thing so that they can actually exist think about the last time you watch a study tips video you watch the tip and you believe

that will give you straight A's right no you didn't did not believe it because if you did you would have done the thing that the video said for you to do you would have done it consistently because you actually believed it would get you those results the third thing to rewire your brain everything can be used to your advantage if something good happens in your life you can use that to your advantage if something bad happens to your life you can use it to your advantage this is what sets apart the mediocre students from the

straight A student when I did bad on a test did I sit back and be like oh my gosh I'm just going to be bad from this point on what's the point of studying I guess this is just my academic flop era I tried so hard last time and it didn't give me a result so why should I try the next time no every time I got her a bad result I was way more fired up to get the best grade possible the next time I used that c grade as a fire under my butt

I felt this drive within me to be like no this is not me I'm going to prove that this is not the grade I deserve I'm going to prove this C wrong say the mean kid in your class gets a better grade than you you could complain and say they don't deserve it be like they're not a good person anyway they were probably just lucky who cares if you think they deserved it or not they got the score plain and simple that means that they must have done something right that you can learn from or

their achievement that you got so upset about can become your advantage that drives you to beat them next time because you know what for what they earned they did deserve you complaining gives you absolutely no benefit you want to be selfish and be like oh this situation whatever it is I'm going to use it to my advantage in high school I was not popular okay working hard in school is uncool but did that stop me no it's like trash talking at a sports game right so the other team is going to Heckle you and say

mean things hoping that will bring you down but actually you can use it to your advantage when they trash talk you you're going to get even more fired up and you're going to get even more motivated to beat their butts having this mindset when any negative tries to knock you down is protecting your own energy but not only that you're using it to give you more energy it's like the it's like the Black Panther suit where the more he gets hit that actually gives him more power for that explosion effect he does that's the best

analogy I've come up with in a while I just thought of that four be your own coach the first section makes it evident why you should coat yourself so this is how you do it whenever you're feeling something when you feel stressed you have to ask why then you're going to ask how am I going to fix that do I even have to fix that if you want to get a good grade you have to ask yourself why I want a good grade so I can graduate at the top of my class well why oh

because I want to earn six figures when I grow up oh why oh because I want to retire my parents okay there you go that's a strong enough reason okay now how I'm going to get good grades by studying okay and how I'm going to get good grades by putting away Tik Tok okay great so as your own coach now you're going to make yourself get off Tik Tok because guess what you can control your own bodies this hand I'm moving it because I want you right now I know they trained you to be addicted

and YouTube shorts is there but all it takes is that Split Second decision and it's easier okay it's that activation energy you do it without thinking you don't think you just do not only do you coach yourself but you also have to be coachable you can't just be telling yourself get off your phone and then your player's like nah because then you would probably kick them off your team so be coachable too five realize when you are self-sabotaging these tips all tie together and compliment each other just like ying-yang the idea is if you are

doing so many things you're overwhelmed with school extracurriculars you have to do things at home for your family you just feel like there are not enough hours in the day and you wonder why it's not working you have to take a step back and being like wait am I self-sabotaging myself right now by thinking that I can do all these things maybe what I actually need to do that will make me more successful is to evaluate my commitments and cut unimportant things out when you're scrolling on your phone when you know you shouldn't you have

to think of that as betraying yourself because you can study all you want but the more you spend scrolling on your phone is canceling out the hard work you have put in and then when you don't get a grade you want you were like oh my gosh but I I studied so hard just a quick reminder that all the things I'm sharing are literally what I used to do well in school have friends have social life do well in sports and be healthy so that's my credibility there okay I'm not just telling you do this

this this because I think it works it actually works Freedom isn't free I posted this short when you're unmotivated ask yourself this question would you rather have 10 years of freedom for 60 years of pain or 10 years of pain for 60 years of freedom and as I said in that description the Freedom that you are working toward is your freedom of choice because when you are spending time in the right ways building your human capital and high value skills that no one can take away from you you will have the options to buy the

things you want to live the places you want to be in you will have more choices with what to do with your time once you're out of school and the time you spend outside of school is like five times longer than your time in school so of course you want to be taking advantage of this amazing opport Unity you have because you can use these 12 plus years of school to influence the whole rest of your life after that the freedom you have now as a student is to be lazy is to not do the

work because you have food on the table provided by your parents but if you aren't grateful and use your opportunity now you are not going to have the options or any freedom that you once dreamed of once you get out of school what makes you think that you can get that dream car or that dream house or live a comfortable life if you are putting in less work than the person next to you if you want something good in life you have to give something too you have to earn it nothing can just be handed

to you on a silver platter if I wanted to get a new shirt I felt like I have to work harder and after my parents buy me something nice instead of just thinking oh my gosh this is so great I deserve this anyway when someone treated me well I'm like I have to work even harder to deserve this good thing that I've been given and such that I can deserve more good things in the future number eight mature people are adults who do what has to be done a baby or a toddler acts on impulse

because they are not mature so if a baby wants to cry because they're upset they will do that if they want to bite on their toy they will do that an adult knows that they have responsibilities they have a family to take care of they have bills to pay and so they can't just act on impulse whenever they want the more mature you are and the more you can control that split-second decision the more successful you will become anytime you are faced with an Impulse you have a choice and that is your opportunity to pick

the right one to go down the right path more and maturity does not just mean with age okay there are plenty of adults who act on their impulses of drinking too much alcohol but the idea is that you need to realize that you're are a human being and the beauty of being a human is that you do not just act on your impulses I treated time like it was gold because every second counted and I didn't need someone to tell me do your homework in school read your textbook while waiting for your tennis match me

valuing time so much made it an automatic easy decision of what to do when the gift of extra time suddenly pops up time is going to pass anyway so each time that you leverage to do something good for yourself is one step closer to Reaching Your Potential but every time you waste that's one step further away from the accomplishments you can have time is the great equalizer imagine you and all your classmates in a race together when you're going for your grades someone could be running but then they stop in fact they can take a

few steps back because they were scrolling on Tik Tok or watching video games but what do you do you understand the value of every drop of time that even if you are slow you're going to keep jogging if someone told you the goal in this race is to get as as far as you can you're not going to just stop in the middle and take a nap right so if your goal is to reach your Highest Potential time is the currency by which you decide what you're going to spend it on imagine literally as gold

coins and you are dropping them into buckets this bucket is your potential bucket the more you fill it you're Reaching Your Potential you might be dropping your gold coin into the dumpster fire of Tik Tok video games browsing social media and celebrities and all that other stuff but you have to understand that every drop of time counts gosh I need to find some way to better explain it I'm not the most eloquent with words sometimes especially when I'm trying to be more candid with a video like this one feel free to let me know if

I'm really driving that one home because people just don't value their time and if I could give one piece of advice to make you successful in life it would be to value your time you're lying if you say you value your time and your screen time is like 4 hours a day yingyang balance yingyang like I explained earlier ask yourself this what will my current actions get me and what will my current mindset get me if your current action is sitting around being lazy then the only reward you're going to get is Regret if your

mindset is caring so much about fitting in with the popular kids who never study what is that going to get you that's going to get you bad grades so you have to constantly evaluate both what your mindset and what your actions are getting you doing good in one will help boost the other and boost the other in a circle woo that was a meaty section and the sun has changed but those are 10 things you can do to rewire your mindset don't expect it to happen overnight don't try to apply all 10 at once this

is a video really created for you to watch again and again think of those Chloe team workouts right they're meant for you to do them like 20 days in a a row so use this kind of like a brain exercise right you train your muscles consistently with the same video right well train your mind consistently with the same Concepts and video too okay listen on the way to school listen whatever you can okay rewire your brain like a subliminal subliminals are dumb in my opinion use this video when study videos actually help you yes that

is after you have used the mindsets that I talked about ear earlier and especially after you've tried to give yourself tips after you think you have reached your limit as a coach then you go to find your friend who's a more experienced coach and you watch them on YouTube and see oh this is what they're doing let me try that for my player ensure that the study videos you're watching are where the person said they've actually used this and it's worked so then you can try it think critically about whether that study YouTuber literally just

put it in chat GPT or literally just Googled it and regurgitated it in a video make sure that the study tuber you're listening to is credible and then use them as inspiration you might not use our tips exactly but they can inspire you to coacher s in a different more effective way and again if you've watched my videos then you know that I have some unique tips and the reason they're unique is because I'm not Googling tips these are things that I know myself that I have coached myself to do so there you go that's

proof that being your own coach will make you an actual expert thanks so much good job I was quite dubious about making this video because students have such short attention spans there's no 20 minute video out there on how to become a better student for real like this video so I was like are they even going to watch this should I even make this but I was just so so passionate and like fired up today because I kept seeing these study videos pop up and I'm like no no no no no these are just a

waste of time if you don't have the right mindset so I had to make it I had to put my knowledge out there such that it's available to you as soon as possible again watch it as many times as you need I do this literally myself again I always give advice that I do myself I've been watching Tam core she's phenomenal guys I would love to meet her one day I will link her below because I also recommend you to watch her cuz she will also help rewire your mindset and her content is longer as

well but you know what that's exactly how you can increase your attention span the most valuable information is in the content that fewer people will consume think about it most people will consume short form content but most people are not successful maybe 50% of people will consume a long YouTube video that 50% may be more successful top 1% they read books they listen to podcasts so the longer content you consume you are putting yourself in that more more successful bracket now I am just rambling as if I wasn't rambling this whole video let me know

if this was helpful and come back after you've tried the tips and let me know what happens to your grades and your life after you rewire your brain one of the best things you can do for yourself in learning from other people is to learn how the successful people think if you want to hear more about the ying yang concept and how to make the greatest comeback of your life then check out this video I talk about a mental disability that I had so I'm proof you have no excuses you got this okay rooting for

you peace
