I can't put into words how inspiring you are man. In a world of "haha I got no work done today hahah I'm so lazy lmao" you're such a breath of fresh air. It's nice to follow someone who casually works hard and talks about achieving their goals. Thanks for doing what you do, and good luck for this next semester.
i swear this is so true i have absolutely no idea why people have normalised being lazy . i dont have anything against such people and i personally feel its important to take a few days of in a while but for the rest its much better to be focused on something . well this is just what i feel and im still a kid so lmao no hate please .
I love people who don't make working hard into a big deal, more like the status quo. That's the vibe I get from him. Instead of somebody making it their personality, their personality becomes that. Idk how to explain it better, he just isn't obnoxious about it & very natural.
"Its kinda hard to do anything because I have so many things Im trying to do at once" Bro felt that so much. I hope that everyone who set goals for this year, gets them done. I believe in you all
Happy New Year James & everyone in the comments. I’m so proud that you still take us on your journey. You don’t even know how many people you’ve inspired. Congratulations on the new degree and upcoming semester, I’ve been resting due to my mum health & I go back after this month.
You're very friendly when you're broadcasting and when you're in videos like this.It's like you having a conversation with a friend who cares about you well-being. Thanks to you, I'm discovering my own potential. Thank you for everything, James. I love you ❤️
Hope you are doing good man. I had almost lost interest in studies durin pandemic especially in 2021 after my grandma died. But because of your study streams I again started studying harder. Because of some of your ideas, advice…I came to realise I have a distinct goal in life (especially because I’m a Muslim) and to achieve that goal, things that I’ve decided to achieve are like waking up early like you, getting into medical school, doing charity and so many things. So thank you soo much, your help meant a lot to me. May you find the right path in life Edit: I’m glad I was able to thank you maybe not in person virtually at least cause you really deserve it.btw sorry for my bad English
Our life’s are so similar man my grandma passed in 2021 which lead me to not join my online classes throughout the remaining year and I’m a Muslim as well. It’s almost impossible to get my self disciplined these days hence I completely fell out of my studying and my entrance exams to get into med school are Coming up I’m still struggling with waking up early and James really helps with showing how hardworking a human must be to get somewhere in life but good luck to you and Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un may Allah grant ur grandma jannah and I hope it gets easier for you aswell
I have been watching your CZcams lives since June last year, while I was preparing pre-university exams (I think its called SAT, here in Spain has another name) and what I remember the most is your company when I was frustrated and on the verge of giving up. To this day, I am studying psychology and I feel that it is partly thanks to you and the motivation you gave me at that critical moment. A few words cannot repay how grateful I am to you.
What are you studying in uni bro. What is your course ? Sorry I can't find anywhere you saying what it is you do in uni, I just know you study whatever it is a lot?
You've been inspiring me since the beginning of covid. I already got into a prestigious engineering university in my country and I genuinely thank you for that . Wish you the best for your final semester.
Happy New Year James! thank you so much for all your streams. because of your streams I got out of those lazy weekends and made them productive. all the best for your future. :)
James helped me get through 2021. It had been a difficult year for me, but to be honest, I observed so much growth through it. I developed a positive mindset, to which James has been an integral part. I wish the entire community a great year ahead. May God bless us all. Thanks James
Hey James, I was on Accutane for about a year, and I've got to say it'll be worth it in the end. Make sure to moisturize every single day, the days you don't will be brutal, and remember to bring lip balm everywhere. Try not to drink too much when you're on it since Accutane is pretty rough on the liver. Thanks for everything you do and good luck!
good luck for the new semester! Bro I also have acne, make sure you moisturize a LOT. I stripped my whole skin routine down to just cleansing and adding three types of moisture (niacinamide + zinc, hyaluronic acid, and Aveeno) and I use duac at night (prescribed by GP). For the first time, my face has shown signs of clearing up. Also with you feeling lost about what you're going to do after uni, it's completely normal, I think everyone goes through that, I've been going through it for the past year too.
Man. I gotta say that you saved my butt last year. I was so demoralized and everything was falling apart around me. I was close to quitting uni but your video about how you study and what keeps you going, really spoke out to me. I'm not into watching streams and stuff so I have to apologize for not watching you too much, but the books you recommended especially the Atomic Habits one , were lifesavers. I'm glad you're still on track with everything and all I wish you in this new year is that you and your loved ones are healthy, that's everything a person needs. Sorry if i'm phrasing things in a weird way, I'm from Eastern Europe so I might sound a little abrasive. Be well, brother. Hope to see another good update in a few months again ^^.
@@jayskullz Kindness is in short supply these days so it's a must to spread it. I'm glad we share some of those life philosophies. As long as we keep our heads in the clouds and strong feet on the ground, we're going to make it. Take care.
I still remember the acting classes you did, it's such an inspriration to just do what you want no matter how random or crazy it may sound! Also you make me wanna set up some goals too... maybe its about time I pick up a notebook and pen and write some goals!!!
Hey, James! Happy new year! Hope you do well with your new semester. I really love your streams and they help me to stay productive. Take care and stay safe!
Hi James! I just wanted to thank you for your videos, you really did open my eyes on my problem with motivation. I used to waiste my time searching for advices on "how to be motivated" but the only thing that I needed to hear from someone is to rely on drive. I didn't know that a simple video could change my dailylife this much. From then I started studying 2h EVERY day and I increased the time eventually. 2h seems like nothing but it was something new to me. I can now study for nearly 6h every day and it made a huge change in my results. I actually cried of happiness when seeing them lol, glad that I stumbled upon this video and subscribed

I love when james writes a vlog description, its always "video" lol
Hey James ! Your stream has been so help full through 2021 ! Congratulations on the new degree and upcoming semester. I hope you and everyone in the comments will achieve our goals ! Again, thank you so much for doing what you do. You don’t even know how many people you’ve inspired and continues to inspire.
You've inspired me so much I can't thank you enough. My life has changed so much these past months thanks to your videos, I really appreciate all you do.
Good to see you well man! I just got back to college and started as a freshman last year. Took engineering this time, your videos help me a lot to focus on my goal this time! Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi, James! I just wanted to say that I find you very inspirational! 💕 I have just finished my exams and I literally spent all of my studying sessions with your live study with me videos on! Thank you! 😊☀️
I hope the New Year brings you something good, James. You have no idea how grateful you are to know you and mika. Thank you, James, for giving me such good habits.
Bro your streams got me back on track with school when I was literally flunking tests and so done with online school, I read all the books you recommended started to rely on drive rather than motivation (I would just watch like 10 motivational videos everyday and it would keep me going for like an hour and id have to repeat the process lmao) but yeah, now I can study without your streams too but still hoping you come back to youtube soon because it makes the process so much more enjoyable, anyways best of luck for everything ahead man ❤
same but now im in a technical school and math is not as easy and im back to flunking cause i literally can not for the life of me bring myself to study
I am happy you were able to get your life back on track. Hope you have been doing well since you posted the comment. Your comment is very inspirational and gives me hope that I can change too. I will be watching his how i study video and read the books to find my drive and I hope I can achieve my goals too. :)
Finding you on CZcams saved my last academic year. I can never thank you enough. you are a true inspiration as a person and student. greetings from Argentina and happy new year 🥳
It’s astonishing how I missed a stranger I’ve never met so much. Glad you’re safe and well James. I look forward to following your CZcams journey further 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I love dark chocolate, it has a positive impact on your mood as well. The darker the better. Also happy to hear about all your passions, I’m trying to figure out how to develop all my passions too. Sometimes they don’t need to be logically connected, as long as they bring us joy :)
18:53 Try to make like a really really minimalist to-do list in your notebook, and write the details in a docs sheet or smth. Like suppose you got ann assignment from your CS class, just write what that assignment is in your notebook, but all the details go into the docs, hope this helps :) Edit - Another thing I do a lot is write my own questions based on what teachers say in class! It works super well!
ahhh james so happy to see you!! good luck on your semester! the vids you make are so casual and comforting and today it was too good to watch this and get hope and strength for tomorrows exam :) peace
You never cease to amaze me James. I like your to do list, I kinda have the same one, with the same exact details haha, thank you for everything you do, for helping us, for being an amazing role model, I myself will always be here, whether you stream or not, your videos helped me through a lot, (I have chronic insomnia and I invest my sleepless nights studying with you) I read somewhere that if you keep on doing the same thing for 18 days, it will become a habit, good luck!
Studying math as well lol. As long as I get through the material & write notes on it all, I always have it in the back of my head that I can go back & revise what I don't fully get to understand more. Idk if that's a good strategy but it helps me not get stuck on one topic/thing for hours on end.
It's been amazing watching your channel. You inspire me so much since you are around my age and I'm in the same major as you. Thank you James for everything!
Hope you are doing well and your family is doing fine! The stream has been so helpful, and just wanted to say how grateful I am for it. You as a person are truly inspirational, and I hope you get everything you want and deserve. I think I speak for a lot when I say we are all cheering and have great admiration for you🎉 and as always so happy to see Mika haha
Whenever I dont feel like doing anything as my motivation has been lately(past 3 months actually from what I can remember ), I just watch your videos and I continue doing what I have to do. My situation hasn't been that bad as I started reading a lot more and learn how to actually enjoy and engage what you are studying so that's a bonus. Thank you so much for your uploads and good luck with your future endeavours .
Recently went through a mental health crisis and decided to take a break from school/ my change my major but watching your videos helps motivate me to keep going. Also I like when you talk about your interests like cars, Ik you’re also a fan of initial d so it’s pretty cool to see another casual listener of eurobeats (^_^)
you can try bullet journalling! its very "sandbox" version of a planner but you can customize it to however you want. it can defn be tiring to set up a format that you like but once you do, you'll love it
its so nice to see a lil vlog from u! i was just smilin all the way thru hehe,, happy start of a new year/semester! last sem was tough for me too n i made some pretty life changing decisions, gonna take this sem off n changing majors but the important thing is we never give up!! also i dig the fit n the haircut looks nice :) lmaoo 4:21 edit: when it comes to note taking n todolists im v old fashioned, hand written notes work best for me but i make sure to always spell out the entire date of each entry n its helped me a lot when reviewing notes, ik exactly what we discussed each day… with todo lists tbh i find todo lists are always changing n being updated so i feel like the notes app is the quickest most effective way, ill jus brain dump all my todos, title the note for whatever week, n just keep coming back n editing it as the days pass (idk i find any app for todos to be a hassle like understanding how it works n getting it setup n then remembering to open whatever app is too much for my busy brain lmao)
Thank you so much for always being an inspiration, James! Happy New Year and I hope that it brings you luck! It's my drop year (taking the year off to prepare for competitive exams) so I was feeling scared but your videos help so much! I can just wake up and play a stream and it already helps me to get up and study.
good luck James and when it comes to taking notes don't feel that you have to take them to be a good student, for me I've never known how to take notes but I'm still doing good in any, notes have to make you feel more comfortable while studying not the opposite, they don't have to make you feel stressed if that's the case then move on and search for other methods that make you feel relaxed, all the love and support for you and your strong mother
As a graduating student, i relate with you so much. Ive been really anxious for the future too and i dont really have specific plans yet. Anyways just here to tell you that we're here to support you whichever plan you wanna pursue! Happy New Yeeear! 🎊🎉
maaannn you are the one . I really like the fact that you are slowing getting comfortable with the interet . love you loads but don't forget to take care of yourself . you the OG
thx for sharing with us, i rly enjoy this kinda video and i liked hearing your thoughts on graduating and the different interests you want to pursue. i graduated university a couple years ago and one thing i’ve realized is that it is not necessary to have everything figured out upon graduation or even in these few years after, and there’s nothing wrong with completely changing what i “do” for work/in life in general. i’ve got lots of interests and might as well try em all. i studied computer science and work in a related job now but would love to be an artist and eventually want to open a book store and maybe publish some of my writing as well 👍 it’s cool to know other people have a variety of interests like this too. unfortunately at least one of my parents is very set on me working in the field that i studied, but there’s so many ways to live so i’m just gonna endure the judgment and go for what i enjoy lol
i loved hearing you talk about acting. totally unexpected, but in a good way! one thing that we always forget is that we should get to explore different areas besides our degrees!!!! like, why not? we don't have to make a career out of everything we enjoy. there are SO MANY THINGS i want to try and i can't wait to have classes on campus so i can try out new things just for the fun of it. i hope you get to explore this interest you have :)
My effort for studies comes from you. thanks for inspiring us. I work to be fluent in English sometimes and understanding your video is a sign that it is working
Happy new year everybody! Always interesting to see what you're up to James - I feel you when it comes to having an almost overwhelming amount of paths open to you & being passionate about completely different fields
happy new year james! I had a terrible lack of determination these days, but now that you're back to posting videos i'm feeling motivated again. please make more videos like this, I think you help a lot of people fr. always wishing you the best 💓greetings from Brasil
hey james, really appreciate your uploads. You will forever be my number one inspiration and you helped me find my path back to a decent future. Last school year, I played so much cs and ow aimlessly and wasted thousands of hours of time. This year, your streams helped to get me back on track towards leading a fulfilling life and now I feel like there is hardly enough time in the day to do everything I have to. I know ur probably tired of reading all these "you're my inspiration" comments, but I really don't know where or what I would have been doing without you. thank you. I know whatever path you take, you'll go far.
hi james, i really recommend notion if you're trying to track things and to do lists! i find it really useful and versatile. although it's quite difficult to use as first and you have to figure things out. but once you do, it's very quick and great for your workflow :D
You're the best 😩 love you James, im gonna watch this video everytime I'm gonna burn out and for the first time I'm not having a burn out for a month after your videos came into by life. You really don't know how much you're helping to thousands of students 🖤
thanks, James for inspiring me I still study with your old 12hr videos every day. It motivates me and I get my work done. Hope you achieve all your goals this year. love you and Mika
dude sometimes i feel like you’re the same person like me, i also do computer science have the same interests like you idkhow to explain it, i found you a long time ago when you made video about waking up at 3:30am. The style of your vlogs is just outstanding; not because they are extremely interesting, they are just chill please keep making more :o
I think ppl like us in their 20s struggle a lot about what we wanna do with our lives whether we talk about it with others or not and i really appreciate it that you talked about it. And i think the only option is to trying out every thing which we're interested about. You are a very inspiring person and you're existence in this hopeless world is enough whether you do something or not. I am someone who really wants you to live a happy and healthy life. Sorry didn't have any note taking system recomendations cause i myself finding a good one ,enjoyed the video .lol
Remnote is a pretty great program for digital notes - I use it regularly during my Computer Science degree. I will say for more mathsy subjects like Semantics, Proofs etc. pen and paper is unbeaten.
Hi from France James ! I wish you the best of the best for this new year ! I started at the end of the lockdown gym and working kinda hard. For real, having you on my side during study sessions is really helping me a lot. You put me on "rails" actually. Since lockdown, I totally cut all of my habits, working, even going outside (I have a dog). Big thanks to you bro, keep it up and health first ! Don't overdo !
im absolute ass at taking notes im just good at studying other ppls notes while comparing with the class book. what i do personnally is take notes in class just to remeber as much as possible and when i get home i just use other ppl's summary of the class but the notes i take are just to get stuff in my head and to listen well in class
I just started Accutane too! Good luck to us! My skin has been really bad since I was 13 and I'm 20 now. It helps to see people going through the same thing. Wishing you the best! :)
for notes I personally hand write notes directly on my lecture PowerPoint slides via iPad and Apple Pencil on notability. that helps keep everything organized. task manager- maybe just get one of those 3 subject notebooks instead of carrying around 3 separate ones. its a lil heavier but more compact for sure. hope this helped and good luck this semester!
@@jayskullz so glad to hear that James! Just finished watching the video, I'm also a final-year CS student (from Indonesia), still struggling as well on how to take effective notes. For this year there's not much theory left, so I usually create mindmaps for the concept and the rest is coding. For the daily productivity system, I use Habitica. I know it from Ali Abdaal and Thomas Frank's videos, if you're into gamification systems you probably like it. Imo it's not really good for complex to-do because it's kind of hard to organize it there, but for daily things and habits it works super well for me. Good luck with your classes and thanks for this wholesome video James, ah yes you should give acting a try!

I like your to do list, I kinda have the same one, with the same exact details haha, thank you for everything you do, for helping us, for being an amazing role model, I myself will always be here, whether you stream or not, your videos helped me through a lot, (I have chronic insomnia and I invest my sleepless nights studying with you) I read somewhere that if you keep on doing the same thing for 18 days, it will become a habit, good luck!
gl! i hope u figure out the insomia
James, can you make a "how should we study" video?I'm studying math right now, it's very difficult. Studying is killing my excitement
Studying math as well lol. As long as I get through the material & write notes on it all, I always have it in the back of my head that I can go back & revise what I don't fully get to understand more. Idk if that's a good strategy but it helps me not get stuck on one topic/thing for hours on end.
There's a guy on youtube called the math sorcerer check him out

happy new year James! its really nice to see you back again. thanks for existing
It's been amazing watching your channel. You inspire me so much since you are around my age and I'm in the same major as you. Thank you James for everything!
Hope you are doing well and your family is doing fine! The stream has been so helpful, and just wanted to say how grateful I am for it. You as a person are truly inspirational, and I hope you get everything you want and deserve. I think I speak for a lot when I say we are all cheering and have great admiration for you🎉 and as always so happy to see Mika haha
thanks for all ur support :]
Happy super late new year james! Good luck to you my man, you’ve got this!
Whenever I dont feel like doing anything as my motivation has been lately(past 3 months actually from what I can remember ), I just watch your videos and I continue doing what I have to do. My situation hasn't been that bad as I started reading a lot more and learn how to actually enjoy and engage what you are studying so that's a bonus. Thank you so much for your uploads and good luck with your future endeavours .
finding your channel was probably one of the best things to happen for my academic career. honestly, thank you.
Another videos like this please! I enjoy this kind of videos of you. Goodluck on your semester. Rooting on u james! ❣️
Recently went through a mental health crisis and decided to take a break from school/ my change my major but watching your videos helps motivate me to keep going. Also I like when you talk about your interests like cars, Ik you’re also a fan of initial d so it’s pretty cool to see another casual listener of eurobeats (^_^)
thanks bro keep drifting
Your simplicity is really inspiring, Its been two days since I came across your channel and I am so glad I did:)
Really happy for you james. Please make more of these, they are really wholesome. Love you man.
you can try bullet journalling! its very "sandbox" version of a planner but you can customize it to however you want. it can defn be tiring to set up a format that you like but once you do, you'll love it
its a lil time consuming for me but i've considered it. thank u!
its so nice to see a lil vlog from u! i was just smilin all the way thru hehe,, happy start of a new year/semester! last sem was tough for me too n i made some pretty life changing decisions, gonna take this sem off n changing majors but the important thing is we never give up!! also i dig the fit n the haircut looks nice :)
lmaoo 4:21
edit: when it comes to note taking n todolists im v old fashioned, hand written notes work best for me but i make sure to always spell out the entire date of each entry n its helped me a lot when reviewing notes, ik exactly what we discussed each day… with todo lists tbh i find todo lists are always changing n being updated so i feel like the notes app is the quickest most effective way, ill jus brain dump all my todos, title the note for whatever week, n just keep coming back n editing it as the days pass (idk i find any app for todos to be a hassle like understanding how it works n getting it setup n then remembering to open whatever app is too much for my busy brain lmao)
haha thank u for the advice!
You are inspiring me! I love your minimalistic lifestyle - you are ahead of your years.
Thank you so much for always being an inspiration, James! Happy New Year and I hope that it brings you luck! It's my drop year (taking the year off to prepare for competitive exams) so I was feeling scared but your videos help so much! I can just wake up and play a stream and it already helps me to get up and study.
You know the dude is serious when he writes "no fap" in his new year plans
🧔♂️
i suggest reading the Book "Easy Peasy to quit PMO" . Haven't looked back ever since I"ve had a mindset change provided by this book. It's amazing
@@vandermonke4178 give me a summary
Ayy, I love getting these updates - especially during this week of exams here. Happy new year!
man I'm thankful, you really give so much inspire
good luck James and when it comes to taking notes don't feel that you have to take them to be a good student, for me I've never known how to take notes but I'm still doing good in any, notes have to make you feel more comfortable while studying not the opposite, they don't have to make you feel stressed if that's the case then move on and search for other methods that make you feel relaxed, all the love and support for you and your strong mother
yeah I didn't take notes today and it seemed ok 😅 i'll experiment with it. thanks for the kind words :]
As a graduating student, i relate with you so much. Ive been really anxious for the future too and i dont really have specific plans yet. Anyways just here to tell you that we're here to support you whichever plan you wanna pursue! Happy New Yeeear! 🎊🎉
thanks bro! happy new year!
@@jayskullz youre welcome bro👨🏻 (i prefer to be called 'sis' or 'bestie' but it's okie 🤧👍🏻)
maaannn you are the one . I really like the fact that you are slowing getting comfortable with the interet . love you loads but don't forget to take care of yourself . you the OG
thx for sharing with us, i rly enjoy this kinda video and i liked hearing your thoughts on graduating and the different interests you want to pursue. i graduated university a couple years ago and one thing i’ve realized is that it is not necessary to have everything figured out upon graduation or even in these few years after, and there’s nothing wrong with completely changing what i “do” for work/in life in general. i’ve got lots of interests and might as well try em all. i studied computer science and work in a related job now but would love to be an artist and eventually want to open a book store and maybe publish some of my writing as well 👍 it’s cool to know other people have a variety of interests like this too. unfortunately at least one of my parents is very set on me working in the field that i studied, but there’s so many ways to live so i’m just gonna endure the judgment and go for what i enjoy lol
i loved hearing you talk about acting. totally unexpected, but in a good way! one thing that we always forget is that we should get to explore different areas besides our degrees!!!! like, why not? we don't have to make a career out of everything we enjoy. there are SO MANY THINGS i want to try and i can't wait to have classes on campus so i can try out new things just for the fun of it. i hope you get to explore this interest you have :)
lol thanks for the advice :]
My effort for studies comes from you. thanks for inspiring us. I work to be fluent in English sometimes and understanding your video is a sign that it is working
keep it up!
Happy new year everybody! Always interesting to see what you're up to James - I feel you when it comes to having an almost overwhelming amount of paths open to you & being passionate about completely different fields
thanks & happy new year :]
happy new year james! I had a terrible lack of determination these days, but now that you're back to posting videos i'm feeling motivated again. please make more videos like this, I think you help a lot of people fr. always wishing you the best 💓greetings from Brasil
Dude you're like the most interesting man I watch pls do more vlogs like this
hey james, really appreciate your uploads. You will forever be my number one inspiration and you helped me find my path back to a decent future. Last school year, I played so much cs and ow aimlessly and wasted thousands of hours of time. This year, your streams helped to get me back on track towards leading a fulfilling life and now I feel like there is hardly enough time in the day to do everything I have to. I know ur probably tired of reading all these "you're my inspiration" comments, but I really don't know where or what I would have been doing without you. thank you. I know whatever path you take, you'll go far.
thanks for the kind words :]
My own semester started & I am just taking your streams as inspiration & motivation to work on my goals ! Thanks a lot for these honest talks✨
you are very inspiring, dude! I hope you have an amazing semester.
hi james, i really recommend notion if you're trying to track things and to do lists! i find it really useful and versatile. although it's quite difficult to use as first and you have to figure things out. but once you do, it's very quick and great for your workflow :D
You're the best 😩 love you James, im gonna watch this video everytime I'm gonna burn out and for the first time I'm not having a burn out for a month after your videos came into by life. You really don't know how much you're helping to thousands of students 🖤
thanks, James for inspiring me I still study with your old 12hr videos every day. It motivates me and I get my work done. Hope you achieve all your goals this year. love you and Mika
You’ve inspired me and many of us James, I can’t thank you enough bro.
Still the best streamer out there. Keep up the grind Jay you're inspiring to us all
dude sometimes i feel like you’re the same person like me, i also do computer science have the same interests like you idkhow to explain it, i found you a long time ago when you made video about waking up at 3:30am.
The style of your vlogs is just outstanding; not because they are extremely interesting, they are just chill please keep making more
:o
haha that was a while ago. thank u for the support
Happy New Year James! Good luck with the semester
I really like these type of your videos. This is so natural ✨
I think ppl like us in their 20s struggle a lot about what we wanna do with our lives whether we talk about it with others or not and i really appreciate it that you talked about it. And i think the only option is to trying out every thing which we're interested about. You are a very inspiring person and you're existence in this hopeless world is enough whether you do something or not. I am someone who really wants you to live a happy and healthy life. Sorry didn't have any note taking system recomendations cause i myself finding a good one ,enjoyed the video .lol
lol thank u
Remnote is a pretty great program for digital notes - I use it regularly during my Computer Science degree. I will say for more mathsy subjects like Semantics, Proofs etc. pen and paper is unbeaten.
thanks ill check it out
Hi from France James ! I wish you the best of the best for this new year ! I started at the end of the lockdown gym and working kinda hard. For real, having you on my side during study sessions is really helping me a lot. You put me on "rails" actually. Since lockdown, I totally cut all of my habits, working, even going outside (I have a dog).
Big thanks to you bro, keep it up and health first ! Don't overdo !
bonjour. thanks for the kind words! keep it up :]
@@jayskullz I will dude, I will
We love you man, sorry about your skin. Hope it gets better with time. Thanks for what do you for the study community!
im absolute ass at taking notes im just good at studying other ppls notes while comparing with the class book. what i do personnally is take notes in class just to remeber as much as possible and when i get home i just use other ppl's summary of the class but the notes i take are just to get stuff in my head and to listen well in class
haha thanks bro yeah usually i end up just not taking notes 😅
Hey James.
Hope u read this.
I am really happy I get to study with you:)))
Hugs from India.
Boy am really proud of you.
I just started Accutane too! Good luck to us! My skin has been really bad since I was 13 and I'm 20 now. It helps to see people going through the same thing. Wishing you the best! :)
Why are you so self-aware, committed and so nice, and the way you speak is so soft and calming, I'm stunned
Jamessss!! Missed you soo much man!! When will you stream live again!!
not sure tbh
@@jayskullz why🥺 anyways take care of your health james💥
@@treeplant978 my classes aren't finalized and my sleep schedule is fcked right now
Лучший стимул учить английский- понимать его видео!
И читать книги, про которые он иногда говорит, потому что не все есть в переводе)
He doesn't speak that clear
seriously love these kind of chill videos,they feel so much more real and life-like lol compared to the vast majority of the videos on youtube.
0:36 o hi Mika 😇
How many cat person's here ??
Me✋
FIRST YAAY
I didn't know what format this file was until I read his description, thanks James.
np i gotchu bro
for notes I personally hand write notes directly on my lecture PowerPoint slides via iPad and Apple Pencil on notability. that helps keep everything organized. task manager- maybe just get one of those 3 subject notebooks instead of carrying around 3 separate ones. its a lil heavier but more compact for sure. hope this helped and good luck this semester!
i take acutane too bro lotion is ur best friend or vasoline
Hiii James! We heard from Heleen that you're sick, r u already feeling well rn? Hope all the best for you, take care bro
yeah got a cold and was out for a few days. thanks for checking in
@@jayskullz so glad to hear that James! Just finished watching the video, I'm also a final-year CS student (from Indonesia), still struggling as well on how to take effective notes. For this year there's not much theory left, so I usually create mindmaps for the concept and the rest is coding.
For the daily productivity system, I use Habitica. I know it from Ali Abdaal and Thomas Frank's videos, if you're into gamification systems you probably like it. Imo it's not really good for complex to-do because it's kind of hard to organize it there, but for daily things and habits it works super well for me. Good luck with your classes and thanks for this wholesome video James, ah yes you should give acting a try!
Hey James !
All the luck for your new semester and thanks a lot for the study with me videos
I can't explain how real you are .
Thank you for being yourself .
Have a great day man.
Pronounce my name!!!
papi
I love how you integrate goals for your physical health as well!
in case anyone's interested, the e-reader James uses on 14:34 is (or seems to be) the Moaaan InkPalm 5
Good luck james also happy new year! We all believe in you! Let's go.
Happy New year James! Wishing you the best of luck for your new semester ❤
Please keep making more of these as and when you find the time! So soothing to watch :)
