# https://www.youtube.com/watch/5go_H-oswJc

00:00:02.760 I'm going to show you how you can make

00:00:04.520 studying more fun and if you're watching
00:00:07.120 this and you don't really enjoy studying
00:00:08.960 and you find studying is just kind of
00:00:10.759 something that's really annoying
00:00:12.840 something that feels like a chore that
00:00:14.719 you have to do then this video is for
00:00:17.680 you this is probably going to be the
00:00:19.560 most valuable video that you're going to
00:00:21.320 watch today so I'm an a-level student
00:00:24.039 who recently graduated high school I
00:00:26.199 think I could tell you a thing or two
00:00:27.760 about how to make studying more fun and
00:00:30.279 enjoyable if you can make studying just
00:00:32.920 a little bit more fun just a little bit
00:00:35.000 doesn't have to be a lot you'll be able
00:00:36.879 to study more consistently and become a
00:00:39.879 top student so the first thing that you
00:00:42.719 need to do is to change your mindset so
00:00:46.440 now studying for you it's not going to
00:00:48.160 be a chore it's not something that
00:00:50.320 you're forced to do it's something that
00:00:52.480 you get to do you get to study because
00:00:55.680 you get to learn and get into a top
00:00:58.079 university so you can get a hyping job
00:01:00.960 and so you get to retire your parents so
00:01:04.479 basically what I've done there is I've
00:01:06.080 just removed all the half like I have to
00:01:09.280 do this I have to do that and I've just
00:01:11.159 replaced it with the word get so now
00:01:14.200 that I've told you this you kind of feel
00:01:16.040 like studying kind of becomes a little
00:01:18.520 bit more appealing right because it's
00:01:20.880 not something that you have to do
00:01:22.119 anymore it's something that you get to
00:01:24.600 do so not that I've changed your mindset
00:01:27.360 the second thing that you need to do is
00:01:29.960 is to make studying fun and I know I've
00:01:33.880 just repeated this point but hear me out
00:01:36.000 this is completely different to what
00:01:37.320 you're thinking what I'm trying to say
00:01:39.040 is that you need to make studying an
00:01:41.520 enjoyable thing to do so this is a piece
00:01:45.640 of candy after you study you're going to
00:01:49.119 eat that piece of candy straight
00:01:51.399 afterwards now that candy doesn't have
00:01:53.600 to be candy it can be like reading uh I
00:01:56.799 don't know watching like Netflix or
00:01:58.880 something the point is that you want to
00:02:00.880 reward yourself after studying and the
00:02:04.560 sooner that you reward yourself the more
00:02:06.960 you will trick your brain into thinking
00:02:09.038 that oh if I study I will be able to get
00:02:12.560 this reward and over time your brain
00:02:15.560 will start to associate studying with
00:02:18.200 the reward but even if there is no
00:02:20.560 reward your brain will want to study
00:02:24.280 because it it anticipates this
00:02:28.400 reward so the third thing that you want
00:02:30.840 to do is to enjoy the process you see
00:02:35.319 step two was trying to make studying
00:02:37.319 more fun but step three now it's a
00:02:40.440 little bit more advanced from step two
00:02:42.560 so how can you do this well firstly most
00:02:45.920 students are studying completely wrong
00:02:49.280 they read from their textbook they read
00:02:51.000 from their notes and then they think to
00:02:52.920 themselves why is studying so boring so
00:02:56.480 what you want to do instead of these
00:02:58.519 things you want to do active recall this
00:03:03.200 means pass papers this means flashcards
00:03:06.720 and everything else in between because
00:03:09.159 when you're doing active recall it's
00:03:11.360 actually challenging like reading the
00:03:14.080 textbook reading your notes rewriting
00:03:16.000 your notes it's not challenging at all
00:03:17.879 so what you want to do instead of these
00:03:19.760 passive studying methods you want to be
00:03:22.000 doing active recall but I'm not going to
00:03:25.239 lie to you pass papers is probably the
00:03:27.159 most challenging method but challenging
00:03:30.360 doesn't mean that it's going to be
00:03:32.879 boring challenge can be fun think of the
00:03:36.439 G video games that you've played in the
00:03:37.959 past for me when I was a kid I remember
00:03:40.280 playing Angry Birds and there was just
00:03:43.400 one level that I just could not complete
00:03:46.400 I kept trying and trying and trying and
00:03:48.439 trying for like 3 hours until I finally
00:03:51.599 completed it when and when I completed
00:03:53.480 it I felt so related I felt so wonderful
00:03:57.799 what I'm trying to say is that most
00:03:59.200 video games GES that are addicting they
00:04:01.799 have an element of challenge they have
00:04:04.360 an element of competition that's why
00:04:06.959 they have PVP in games they like they
00:04:09.400 make you like fight players and other
00:04:11.000 stuff it's because it stimulates
00:04:13.079 challenge it stimulates competitiveness
00:04:15.959 so you want to make studying a challenge
00:04:19.478 not something that's too easy because if
00:04:23.040 it's too easy your brain is just going
00:04:25.360 to be like nah [ __ ] this I don't want to
00:04:27.240 do this and here's a little tip when
00:04:28.960 you're doing pass p papers you want to
00:04:31.120 set a timer oh that that is a terrible
00:04:35.479 drawing you want to set a timer I don't
00:04:38.880 know if you can see this but this is
00:04:40.039 supposed to be a watch so the next time
00:04:42.000 you try and do pass papers try and time
00:04:44.600 yourself you will work so much faster
00:04:47.680 whenever I time myself firstly I'm
00:04:49.800 simulating the exam conditions and
00:04:52.199 secondly it gives me a incentive to
00:04:55.039 finish the past paper in the fastest
00:04:57.240 amount of time possible and when that
00:04:59.320 happens my brain is completely locked in
00:05:01.960 on the
00:05:04.840 task so the very last thing that you
00:05:07.280 need to do is to do a dopamine detox I'm
00:05:11.840 going to be honest the main reason why
00:05:13.639 you think studying is boring is because
00:05:16.639 your brain is screwed up so was around
00:05:19.360 15 years old and I'm sitting on the top
00:05:22.479 bunk of a train and then I opened the
00:05:25.639 curtain and I asked my Dad hey Dad do
00:05:28.520 you have a phone that I can borrow for
00:05:31.240 just a second and I really want to play
00:05:33.520 Scrabble do you mind like giving me your
00:05:35.720 phone just for a little bit so I got his
00:05:37.680 phone but I didn't go into Scrabble I
00:05:40.759 went on Google opened an incognito tab
00:05:45.680 and I started watching porn and I just
00:05:49.479 started watching my screen like my eyes
00:05:51.800 were just glued to the screen and I was
00:05:54.520 just watching all that stuff going on
00:05:57.720 and it was Heaven
00:06:00.560 I really enjoyed it I'm going to spare
00:06:02.840 you the details but afterwards I
00:06:05.319 remember feeling like a piece of [ __ ]
00:06:08.800 and this was my dad's phone my father's
00:06:10.960 phone that I used to watch porn and it
00:06:13.639 was around that time where I just kind
00:06:15.960 of started getting really really
00:06:17.960 addicted to porn and that kind of [ __ ]
00:06:21.240 me over so badly and I couldn't even
00:06:23.919 concentrate in class without thinking
00:06:26.440 about the last video that I watched so
00:06:29.599 so what I think you need to do is to
00:06:31.720 remove all the little inant
00:06:34.319 gratification activities like maybe like
00:06:37.039 it's for you it's like scrolling on
00:06:39.319 social media like me maybe you were a
00:06:41.840 point addict or maybe it's just video
00:06:44.120 games but the point is the more you
00:06:46.479 remove yourself of all these things that
00:06:50.120 cause your brain to go Haywire the more
00:06:53.039 you're going to be able to enjoy hard
00:06:56.199 things like studying you'd love doing
00:06:59.240 hard harder and harder things like going
00:07:02.360 for a run going to the gym and all of
00:07:04.960 those healthy self-improvement
00:07:07.240 activities because at the end of the day
00:07:10.400 self-improvement is what is really going
00:07:13.120 to help you get the best grades it's no
00:07:15.599 secret I mean if you improve your life
00:07:17.879 if you improve yourself improve your
00:07:19.560 body improve your mind naturally you're
00:07:21.800 going to be better at studying as well
00:07:24.080 so I know that this video is supposed to
00:07:25.560 be like a video on how you can make
00:07:26.879 study more fun but at the core of it all
00:07:30.120 self-improvement is the key and that's
00:07:33.000 what my free community successful
00:07:34.879 students is all about it's not just
00:07:37.160 about getting the best grades possible
00:07:39.400 it's about improving yourself and
00:07:41.599 getting to a level where getting good
00:07:43.479 grades just becomes effortless if you
00:07:45.400 want to check it out I can link it down

00:07:53.800 next video
