Hello, my name is Jimmy and I am a cardiac-surgery resident in Canada
*TEN STEP SUMMARY*
*1. Break everything down*
-Write everything down that you have to do
-Break down into small chunks
-Shift focus from all the things you have to do to what you will accomplish in the next 5 minutes
*2. Shift from distraction to focus*
-20 minutes of guilt-free time
-Turn all technology off
-Make coffee/tea, get study space ready
-Change your mood (take a shower, walk, listen to music, etc.)
-THEN sit down and start studying
*3. Quit feeling dreadful*
-Focus on accomplishing small actions
*4. Take scheduled breaks, not breaks whenever you want*
-Don't just take breaks when things get frustrating/hard
-Take breaks at scheduled times (e.g. Pomodoro)
-Use Self Control app to block websites
*5. Study actively, not passively*
*6. Change the study location*
-Helps get through final hours when you switch up your location (cafe, library, with friends etc.)
*7. Take a well-deserved break*
-Separate study time from leisure time
-Sleep
*8. Work around your schedule to end your day early and enjoy late-night study sessions*
-Study 8am-12pm, break, then study 1-7pm
-Take a 3 hour break, study from 10pm-12am
*9. Make it enjoyable*
-Favorite drink
-Favorite playlist
-Leave easier/less intense work (data crunching, email, etc.) for this time at the end of your studying
*10. Make studying a habit*
-Create systems, so that you start studying from day 1 so you don't stress right before your exams
-Continuously moderately study, don't go from 0 studying to 100 studying right before exam
Awesome, will pin this.
thank you for this summary!! just finished watching and i will comr back here to motivate myself ❤️ loved this vid!
May Allah bless you, thank you.
Good job, thank you🌸
Thank you for this!
"Maturity is learning how to start when you feel like procrastinating and learning how to listen when you feel like talking."
Ehh idk
I can only do the second :/
It has hit me hard
Perfect quote!
@@lakshadeep3900 on god. I have a major problem with both of em 😪
I wish people like this got more popularity rather then "CEO" instgramers. This is what hard work really looks like. Forcing yourself to work even when you don't want to and ways to get yourself to do it. Healthy and good ways to do it.
Dude ceo time is just exactly like him instead of study it is buisness and when sundar Pichai was in his early studying years he used to study just like the method he told in this video .
They're literally there to entertain people. It's always going to have more popularity for the same reasons that people watch the NBA more than they go watch city council events. You can wish for whatever you want but that's just the reality.
@@dudeofmedicine8010 I'm talking about the ceo's with the "get rich quick" ones Not legit people who actually work hard
@@tishitaai5538 okkk
Damn right. MDProspect (and the study with me community in general) are the real deal.
0:16 Break Everything Down
1:57 Break the Cycle (distraction to focus)
4:09 Quit Feeling Dreadful
5:07 Take Scheduled Breaks
6:06 Study Actively (e.g. active recall)
6:32 Change Study Location
7:28 Take a Well Deserved Break/ Sleep
8:01 Late Night Study Sessions
9:08 Make the Late Night Study Sessions Enjoyable
9:54 Make Studying a Habit (Start from day one!)
Thanks
Appreciate it mate!
Thanks! It was very helpful.
A tip for online learners: Don't touch your phones in the morning. Read a slide or a page of your course book before you start your day
Thanks I’ll try this in the morning 🙌🏾
Thankss I really needed this comment I was wondering what about the students who r actually learning online they can't turn off their technology 😅
@@MontanaDior nice! You'll notice how productive your day is going to be👍
@@andiopp-o_o8842 I use to have classes online but I made sure the only technology I put on in the mornings are only my laptop and it changed my life
Thats one thing that messed me up online, was all the distractions. Peoppe calling and texting, noise from traffic, waiting on emails etc.
I'm a law student and I can very much relate to your tips. Long hours of sitting and reading ain't no joke! Thanks for breaking down these study ideas. This and your study vlogs have been very helpful.
Yooo fr, writing a 12 page open source memo while trying to understand the bajillion and one cases I'm supposed to read that all the Justices just had to be extra wordy about and create outlines for finals 2 months in advance makes me want to YEET MYSELF RN. now i know why everyone calls 1L 1 hell and i hate it here
Ditto. Ain't no way to slice the cake and not have to eat the lot.
I love how u dive straight into the topic without wasting time and promoting yourself
Yeah usually when I start videos, I'm used to automatically skipping through to the actual topic, but when he said " Alright so here's it goes" it was so satisfying lol
@@brooklyn7405 yep like we dont care your whole ass failure past man we just wanna hear what did you do lol. save your private infos for q/a or vlogs. This man is a bless
@@brooklyn7405 Truth tells, BS sells. The into was so rare it's unique and great.
If only we were taught these techniques when we were kids most of us would be actually doing what we really wanted without fear of failure...
The education system needs a revamp. A lot of people don't know how to learn
You’re right, but don’t let that stop you from doing it now.
it went right through me :(
Its never too late ;) Better start now than never
Amen. 😪
Me: Wants to learn how to study for 12 hours
Also me: Doesn't have enough concentration to finish this 11 minute video
try speeding the video up, works for me
Same!
Same😭😭
haha, hilarious!
lmao
Hope y’all find these tips useful :) I just finished my last call and my last rotation as a 3rd year as of yesterday 👍🏼 i have 8 months until I become a doctor! You can follow my journey on Instagram instagram.com/mdprospect
Fighting!
Hope all best for you
I'm preparing for entrance exam in medical school, will be giving my exam next year and for me you're always a source of motivation. Thanks a lot for making this video, I'm sure these tips gonna be helpful for me. Sir,thank you for everything˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙. Hope one day I'll wear that stethoscope and add prefix Dr. in my name. Love you ʕ♡˙ᴥ˙♡ʔ
Damn love these tips. However, I struggle with achieving what I think can achieve in like 1 hour. As Med student, i plan to revise lets say a 30 minute lecture, so i say "ill get it done in an hour" but usually it takes way lomger and feel like im failing or doing something wrong. Any suggestions on what I should do or how I can plan better?
WHAT CHAIR DO YOU USE INCLUDE IN BIO???
Me during lockdown: How I trained myself to use phone for longer hours (even when I don't want to)
Lmao
We have all sinned & fallen short to the glory of God. We have all broken God’s commandments, therefore we deserve hell
, we deserve eternal punishment in hell bc of our sins. But bc God is love & merciful He offered a way for sinners to be saved from the eternal punishment we deserve.
He died on the cross for the punishment that we deserve so that we can be free from hell.
& what we have to do is repent of our sins & turn away from all sin & put faith & trust in the only one who can save us from hell which is Jesus.
Will you accept Him in your heart? He’s our Lord & Savior! He changed my life! I’m so much better now I find peace with Him. Without Him Idk where I would be.
Salvation is a gift from God we are saved by WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE ALONE FAITH ALONE!❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also be careful what you feed your spirit, feed it the word of God!
@@norastar1444 amen 🙏🏿
Yup
@@norastar1444 Amen
the way you broke down everything into steps, and addressed the emotional side of studying/procrastinating - which is a huge factor for me and a lot of other people - was really eye-opening. I'm 100% saving this to help motivate me, and writing down notes from this video to help me the next time I'm in a rut.
I just want to say that I stopped clicking on videos with similar titles a long time ago because the advice given is usually very cliché and I can't relate or stick with anything that's if I remember anything said after watching the videos 🤦🏼♀️
I trust your content very much and you never disappoint ! I replayed the video with a pen and paper and wrote everything down because it felt REAL ! I felt that this is genuine and it works and it's really an algorithm to follow because we see the result in your content. I thank you very very much for taking the time to make this video. I'll try to stick to this system as much as I can.
Also I want to add that I'll attempt the 100 hr study week you did earlier, because it was the first video I saw on your channel. I thought it was cool but impossible for me to do it without discipline. But after following you all this time I think it's now possible for me to do it with the tips in this video. Best of luck in your next 8 months, you will smash it 🔥💪🏻
i COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!
So did you do the challenge? :)
Exactly my thoughts!
so how did the challenge go for you? update us :)
I love these type of videos where you explain problems students might have while studying very informative
Agree!
🙏🏵️🙏czcams.com/video/5ygPli-jb2E/video.html🙏
I really like the idea of respecting your anxiety/stress as a signal to work, and 'working the stress off'. It's really given me something to do about the overwhelming feelings of 'ahhhh I have so much work to do' while simultaneously reducing the amount of work I have on my to-do list
"Don't procrastinate."
Me : procrastinating by watching videos on how not to procrastinate.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
thats me right now
STONKS
ALL THE BEST
😂😂😂
Gawd I love when you just cut to the chase! 🙌🏽 Thank you for the tips, it’s really helped me!
Oh man! This vlog came out on the right time. I'm feeling overwhelmed these past few days as pre final year student and you are right that gives pressure and heaviness leads to procastination. Today I didn't do anything because I felt I just need break and searched for motivation or some good advice and I found your vlog. Thanks man. Keep up the good work)
I am resident .. and i know the struggle.. its like studying is a important part of our lives along with many other things...just love your study with me sessions and tips 😁
I'm realllllyyy glad this popped up in my recommendation u won't believe how much it helped me!!🤧
Did it really help?
What amazing self-control you've developed and built! It's a good reminder and motivating to hear! Thanks for sharing your process and experience.
Thank you! With help from your tips I can now study 8 hours a day without feeling anxious. It took practice but these are very useful!
Literally, I took 45 minutes to watch this video because I had to write everything down so that I'd imbibe everything. Thank you. What you said about perspective is life changing!
Seriously thank you for these tips, you gave me the confidence to really commit to studying without feeling miserable. You're right about the perspective thing, allowing myself the time and space to get to a point of focus is gonna be a game changer
Same! Even I feel motivated and pushed when ppl r around me !! So relatable 🔥🔥
This came just right in time! I just came from a study session that made me feel so exhausted. I'll incorporate whatever you said in this vid to my study style. Keep up the great videos brother!
ive watched study with me videos a lot but i really find yours so helpful, your videos are calming and makes me feel productive, thank u sm :)) good luck to youuuu
Wowww, i really loved your "Break the cycle" method. Especially the 20 minutes of guilt free time. Getting over those mental barriers is easily the hardest part for me. This was probably the most relatable and useful info I've seen on studying on here. thank you for this. Subbed.
Can i just say how genuinely motivated i am just watching you study and REALLY get into that zone. Thank you! Please continue creating!!
As always, thanks for the quality content! Just started my freshman year, didn’t kick off the way I wanted to. I’ve been excessively beating my self up over it, but watching your videos makes me feel like there’s someone looking after me out there. I’m still far from my goal, but someday I’ll get there. Slowly but surely!
Man wish I had this during med school (your content made me realize what was so good and efficient about my undergrad study habits, which I wasn't even aware of til now). Still really helpful though! Love how concise your content are!
This is the only video I need to watch to get to work and get your things done! Thanks!
this actually calmed me down and motivated me start my day fresh
this video and comment made me feel better about myself. i always felt i'm alone in this and nobody really goes thru this amounts of mental breakdowns and everything but now i see people are struggling, too, and thank to StudyMD, i feel quiet calm and collected now that i know what to do and where to begin.
Your content is always so informative.
It is really helping me so much ❤✨
These tips are fireee - literally love them! Thanks so much!
thank you soooo much ! through this lockdown period, i tried to find patterns of things that made me productive especially after i was to study with guilt . and this list of tips is sooo close to some of those things that actually work. i will certainly use these tips to become super focussed like you ! thank you and more power to you !!
Thanks for the tips! I struggle to stay focused at home. I’m also usually a cafe/library studyier
The cafe idea definitely works for me. Having people talk and walk around me really does help me focus. Otherwise, I start daydreaming and living in my own thoughts. Only negative is the amount of money I spend on coffee 😂 covid has also made it harder to find a coffee shop that is open late.
Man!
This video is more than great!
Shows how much experienced you are in studying
I had been procrastinating the last couple of days and feeling really bad about myself
This video was everything I need!
Thank you very much
So much value in this, thanks alot JImmy!
This is so good, actually everything you've said in the video is beneficial and on point.
Not even a second wasted.
To show my thanks, I've pressure the subscribe button hard enough to feel my finger bone lol.
Great video idea! Looking forward to watch it.
I am currently writing my dissertation and these tips are so helpful! Thank you for putting together these study with me videos!
Thank youu Jimmy 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I have a coming exam this Sunday and I’m consistently going through your study with me videos and that help me a lot to stay on track ❤️
You are so awesome! Thank you for making time for us considering how much time you put in with your own work. I completed the Bar Exam today. Now I feel weird and need something to fill my time. I’m giving myself one day and at the very least read Law cases.
Lastly thanks you sharing Banff. I plan to travel there next May 😁
WHEN YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL ROOM LIKE THAT,YOU WILL JUST STUDY
Omg this was soo helpful! Im in pharmacy school and I’m so proud of myself because I’ve already started doing some of these steps on my own! You study sessions have also helped me.
Thank you for the tips! It’s tough to stay motivated and diligent with studying in online grad school. Studying with you really helps me focus!
I felt that.... “back in medical school, when I’m preparing for exam which was literally every damn time” 😅 also yaaaay so close to 100k!!
You just solved almost all of my problems related to sudy. Now I am actually gonna study while enjoying it and without procastinating.
Best tip was 5 min focusing. Keep mentoring.
Thank you for your informative and straight to the point videos. Always appreciated and a pleasure to watch!!
Your channel is a real motivation for me, thank you so much for your suggestions.
Thank you, i needed this so much ! I have so much homeworks right now that I have to give back in 2 days 😭 hope it's gonna be okayy
Thank you for your study tips. I recently started studying after several years of working and it is quite difficult for me to stay focused and productive. Midterm exams are coming and I am hoping to manage my exercises better with your tips :)
Probably the best video I’ve watched for study/productivity! I feel like when I had “productive” study days, I had subconsciously followed these tips. Now that the steps are clear in my mind, I can be more mindful about the way I approach my study. Thanks so much!!
Yes! I have never loved a youtuber's delivery of study tips better
My biggest takeaway here. Is to take scheduled breaks, I’m gonna start using my Forest app again. Ive been neglecting those breaks and entering the cycle again
I've watched many videos for "motivation" but this video really resonated with me. I've been feeling overwhelmed with work lately and ended up exactly in the procrastination spot. Home office doesn't make it better. Thank you Jimmy, this video is really helpful! You're the most authentic study-with-me youtuber there for me.
Really the best video I ever watched on productivity so far🌸
When it comes to getting things done, nothing beats setting up a proper list down to the smallest activities. You'd think it'd do absolutely nothing, considering how it's just a list of stuff you already know you have to do, but seeing everything you have to do in order really helps remind you what you should be doing. I personally don't like setting times for activities that require an unknown amount of time, so I pick a few things I know for a fact have a set time window, and use those as a reference to put activities with an unknown time window in between. If you're a student, plug in things you have to do in between your classes(since classes have a set time window), and of course, also list out really obvious things like your 3 meals, other obligations, and fun activities you do. It sounds pointless, but your schedule should be detailed to yourself.
Oh wow this is gonna be a good one! 6 years after medical school and I could still do with these tips 🤩
great autumn vibes !!!
thank you! This is coming at a time where it's difficult for me to find the motivation to study and this helped a lot. :)
"When I preparing for an exam, which is literally every damn time" 😂😂 It made me laugh, because I can relate so much with this as a med student myself!
I really enjoy your videos!
Greetings from Brazil 👋😊
@@lucasjunqueira857 same !!
I’m having the worst week because of covid affecting family members and close friends. This caused me to lose my momentum in my studying (i’ve been studying the past week for this week’s exam) and now i have zero motivation to go back because of these things happening. This helped me a lot!! Thank you so much!!
Wishing you all the best

I love these kind of videos, they are really helpful, inspiring and motivational and you manage to make them unique and interesting! So glad I found your channel some months ago :') Also love the cozy autumn setting you have, keep it up!!
GREAT STUFF HERE!! I am learning to code and I can say this has improved my ability to retain and push thru in so many ways....Good luck, Dr.!
Trying this on extra hard difficulty setting with my ADHD, wish me luck!
Thanks for supporting students ❤️💯
This motivates me so much! Thanks as always for the great quality content and tips.
so glad i found your channel during my first and second semester of college. you’re helping me set myself up for success.
I see upload, I click.
This really motivated me❤️, my phone is my biggest distraction but I can't switch it off bcz I've to study on phone 😖
Extremely useful tips! Thank you 🌸
thank you so much for these tips! I have my finals coming up in a month and i was feeling really anxious about the preparation. But your study sessions and these tips have proved incredibly helpful. This was day 1 and i got 4 hours worth of productivity out of it which is rare for me. ill put an update after my finals about how it all goes!
i just tell myself to study or else i have to retake this exam😂 nice tips tho👍 sometimes i just get overwhelm with the things i have to do and ended up sleeping HAHA
It’s easy for me to study, but with COVID and living with my parents, it has been hard to motivate myself to do anything. Starting Nursing school next week! 👻
I really enjoy this Chanel. It’s easy to study along with you especially because you are not distracting. I see you focusing so I know I can focus too. Thanks for the great videos 👍🏼
Whenever I feel down or not having gathered energy to study , your videos inspire me a lot. It really helps a lot. Thank you so much....
I love how you just straight up got to the point and skipped the bs. I'm glad I discovered your (underrated) channel, keep up the good work Mr. Prospect (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
2:08 "Or whatever you guys use these days!" *waves hand and semi-rolls eyes" That was awesome! LOL
One of the few self help videos on studying that actually has some very good original tips. Thanks!
I've been able to coast through til my senior year in college (currently) when the amount of work definitely jumped. So far these tips have worked for me and your study session videos are extremely motivating too. Thank you!
Love from INDIA 😊

You're a saint. Thanks so much for all you do.
Thank you, this was great!
Do you have any tips for how to accept the amount of work you've done? I often feel guilty I did't do MORE studying during that day despite knowing I have to take breaks to stay sane. I feel like a slacker when I take a hour and half break for dinner ect. I just never feel like I've gotten ENOUGH done.
Me: 24 hours are not enough for me to do everything I want
This guy: makes one day look like it's 32 hours long
Awesome video! Thank for sharing these valuable tips!
