Perfect daily routine for students [full guide]

you know how online you can see people with their crazy morning routines where they wake up at like 3:00 a. m. then go for a quick you know a quick Marathon just to get the blood flowing you know what I mean but I could never follow a routine I would follow it for a couple days like two three days and then I would just give up I would try but I just couldn't so I just thought oh I guess I'm not a routine person whatever the that means and I think I got this distaste for Tim taes and routines and most of us do from school because school made timetables restrictive thing that had just too much in it but then I realized that's because the routines they made was not optimized for me it was supposed to be a cookie cookie cutter routine that could fit the thousands of students in the school and so routines are like music Everyone likes music it's just that you need to find the music that suits your taste that is right for you the genre that you like so once you find a routine that's optimized and fit for you that is how you get the most out of it and that's how you become a routine person so here's how I set up my routine and stuck to it for the long term in just three steps all right so step one that I have here is structure and what I thought when I set up when I started setting up my routine was okay there is like one or two tasks in my day that if I did those tasks I would classify my day as a win like a not horrible day and I and I named it the win the day tasks basically if I did these tasks I would consider the day a win and so if I just studied exercised recorded one YouTube video I would class that day as a productive day like not as a waste even if I did nothing else for the rest of the day I would still consider that day as a win so what are your win the day tasks maybe it's studying maybe it's the gym write them down and really clarify why they are the most important tasks and this is going to be the most important sentence for this part that I've written down structure your day around the win the day tasks I'll say that again structure your day around the win the day tasks and so the way I structure is I work best in the morning so I'm going to put most of those tasks in the morning if you work best at night put at night if you work best in the afternoon put in the afternoon you get what I'm saying right to help you visualize here is like literally the timetable I'm using for today and also to make the routine seem as least intimidating and as less rigid as possible I used to write it down on like a notepad but now I just write it in a WhatsApp group chat with just myself in it so I just text myself and it's good because I can bring whenever I wherever I go because it's just on my phone so I would just open like WhatsApp at night and it takes like 2 minutes because I can copy paste from the previous day like the same routine copy paste cuz most of my days repeat anyway right so here it is morning deep work we're going to record this video from 8 to 9:30 then we're going to study with some practice papers I actually have them on my desk right now that's another 3 hours from 9:30 to 12 in the afternoon going to have lunch gym then just around for a bit dinner and then at night we're going to do practice papers for another hour and a half so that's 3 hours and 30 minutes in the morning that's 1 hour and 30 minutes at night that's 5 hours of deep work total in the whole day um editing rough here but I forgot to mention that on that day I also uploaded a video like that was one of my win the day tasks so just mentally put it in cuz I forgot to say that but yeah all right um transition and then the afternoon's just for me to like around a bit and just relax right and so some important things I want to highlight firstly notice how I structured it around the big task I didn't write wake up I didn't write drink coffee I didn't write brush teeth I'm just going to focus on the big task I don't have to write you know 749 to 750 walk from toilet to bedroom like that's not you know that's not needed that sounds like something school would do and dictate every single second which is what makes it feel restricting so instead of that instead of dictating your time in every single second just block out time for work and then block out time for other things because I just want to focus on those big task and the time in between them doesn't really mattered much to me so for example if I spent 2 hours here studying and afterwards there's a bit of a block that block is just free and I also leave these blocks because maybe I spend 2 hours studying but I will overshoot the time I intend to do it for 2 hours but actually takes me 3 hours well that's safe because I have this block here as extra time so structure day around those important tasks you don't have to write those smaller things you can if you want and then the second thing is notice how I've structured my day with a short Sprint of 3 hours okay that's not that's not very short but like 3 hours of work in the morning afternoon is just rest and then in the night I do another short Sprint of work which is what I it's one of my beliefs right if you see my burnout video this one right here I work best when I have a short Sprint of high intensity work followed by long periods of rest and so because of this I have two short Sprints and one recovery if you want just one short Sprint and one recovery that's also possible it depends on how much you need to get done so yeah just to summarize focus on the important task and then in between the important tasks have long periods of rest and put the important tasks at the time that you work best so if you work best in the morning put in the morning all right so step two is mindset and the important thing to know is that you will fail like when you set up this perfect day there's no way you're going to get it first try and what used to happen is that I'll set up the perfect day I would follow it for like 10% of the time I of the three things I would only do one thing and I was like oh I failed because I didn't finish everything right but then I thought okay let me think about my average day like the normal average day think about your average day right where you did nothing you just passively consumed for the whole day you just switch places where you consumed so you consume on your black computer chair looking at your laptop and then you go to your bed on your phone then you go to the couch watch on your phone then come back to your computer chair that's like your average day if you didn't have any structure any routine guess what I'm trying to make you remember those days but the thing is I don't even remember any of those days because they are so forgettable because nothing happened like that's how forgettable it is so basically what I'm trying to say is that if you just follow your perfect day even 10% of the time that is still far better than your average day so for now if you're just starting be okay with 10% Like honestly right now I get so much done in in the morning that for the rest of the day I kind of just around and slack because you know in the afternoon you get that afternoon slump where at 2:00 p.

m. your brain doesn't work you want to lie down and everything like I'm not productive during that time so like my morning routine is good my afternoon is like kind of up then my nighttime routine is good so it's like two out of three right two out of three that is 66 6666666 6% just round it up to 70% because I'm not a nerd so I've done 70% of my perfect day should I be sad that I didn't finish 100% of it of course not right like I've been been on self-improvement for a year I've only started thinking about routines and everything probably 6 months into that so in 6 months I've gone from 0% off my perfect day to 70% so if you're starting right now you cannot expect to do 100% And I see 70% as an absolute win so just be grateful um this week do 10% next week do 20% the week after that you get the gist right so basically going to progressively overload this I say this in every video but that is the basis of selfimprovement when you start you start small and you develop as time goes on just have the mindset of doing a little bit better than last week or last month so if last month you did 20% of your perfect day this week or this month do 30% that's it and think of how easy that is bro like if you want to do 10% of your perfect day 10% of 24 hours is 2. 4 hours you just need to not up 2.

4 hours the rest of the day the other 22 hours you can do whatever the you want that's fine and you'll still make progress for someone like like for me to get to make progress I have to finish 80% of my perfect day I have to get like what's 80% of 24 bro 19.
