I never had a idol and role model. My life was scattered. When I came across your channel , my life was really changed not because I started studying but because my perspective changed. Your how I study video really meant a lot to me. For me what's inspiring is not that you can study for 12 hours but the focus and drive. I really can't write what I feel I am feeling emotional while writing this. Your goal of helping people is really accomplished . Thank you dude thank you. Edit - i got 94.4% in my boards, thanks to james again.
Great to see that But remember you can always fall back to older self be conscious everytime I've been there and now I'm distracted again but i know I'll be preety good again Good luck to you 🙌
God damn, between this video and your 12 hours a day studying video, feel like I gotta reexamine my life. I am 27 so a bit older than you are now probably. Never went to uni and barely scratched my way out of graduating high school early. But I work at a library now and am in an environment where I see how important the prospects of learning are. I've unfortunately kinda fried my brain the last several years through marijuana usage, consuming content constantly, and playing video games almost daily when I'm not at work instead of bettering myself. I've always felt a fire down under telling me this isn't right, even though I tend to enjoy the medium of video games a lot, but what I lack is some serious balance in my life. Seeing your videos just cemented that. I have lots of passions I could see myself gunning towards but ever since I've been released into the real world working 40 hours a week, finding the time to grow and learn while also "unwinding" from work all week feels damn near impossible. But I can't believe it is, because then my existence would be futile. So here I am saying that I need to reevaluate as I age further. I don't want to look back at my twenties and say that was the best time of my life, because they've been rather depressing if I look at how I would have ideally spent my time then. I feel I must take your videos and begin to apply them to something I have an intense passion for. I don't know where to start, perhaps with building healthy daily habits as you've discussed before. I might finally read Atomic Habits, I've always been resistant to self help stuff because it feels tailored to make people into machines in a capitalist society. But if I could just apply it to match with my inner principles of life, as well as towards something I truly believe in, then maybe my outlook on my day to day existence will change. Anyways, thank you. Your videos shook me up hard this morning, and I feel I've been overdue for a serious second look at how I'm living my adult life. To learn that from a seemingly chill young dude like yourself is a blessing. I am especially touched by the studying for 12 hours a day where you begin to tear up talking about being a better person, and living in the moment, being truly present. Also being raised by a single mother whom you want to give the world to, I relate to heavily. You have a good soul. Changing one's mindset is rather difficult, but being fully aware most of the time of one's thoughts and temptations is important to changing and growing. Also to remember, I am not you, nor are you me, I cannot compare my life to your 1:1, we all come from different biases and backgrounds. My journey will not mirror yours, but I can only hope to extract whatever valuable teachings other humans have to lift myself up, and in turn lift others up. Standing on the shoulders of giants so to speak. Be well Jay! And don't let the real world break you down like I've let it over the years once you've moved on from uni and your studies in the way they are now, life is a learning journey that only ends when we pass, and we must stay vigilant in reminding ourselves of this.
Dude I 100% relate to this. And coincidentally also 27, almost 28. No role model as a kid. Dad always occupied with his own thing and I had trust issues with my mom. I swapped multiple elementary schools as a kid and even had to re-do third grade, high school I barely completed and when I started college I was directionless on what to choose. Finished that after 5.5 years (failed 1 year and got half a year extra for my graduation year because of anxiety and insecurity about succeeding my graduation project) Started smoking weed at 19 and experimenting with other substances in my early twenties. When I finished college I still had no sense of direction and just picked a job close to my house so I'd had to travel less and be on time. As being late was generally an issue. Couldn't keep a job for more than a year, my contracts did not get extended for 2 jobs and it crumbled my selfesteem. I ended up unemployed for 2 years and eventually started picking up again with therapy to treat underlying issues and reintegrating slowly. I'm doing much better lately doing volunteer work twice a week in a woodworking workshop where I can also just hobby around and be in my own space and at a bar on some saturdays to work and challenge my anxiety. Gaming and other dopamine seeking behaviour have taken a lot of free time off my hands when I look back at my life and it still does to this day allbeit to a more dosed extent. Rn i'm trying to read more and do mixing and music production. I feel far behind others most of the time and as if it's impossible to 'catch up' but i'm taking it 1 step at a time. Wish you the best brother and you're not alone in this. Peace
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. It's never too late to reevaluate our lives and make changes that will bring us closer to our goals and passions. Building healthy daily habits and finding something that you truly believe in can help provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Remember that everyone's journey is different and it's important to focus on our own growth and progress rather than comparing ourselves to others.
Reading all you guys life stories , i feel motivated not to give up and be more disciplined and develop better habbits i am 19 and feel completely lost and am scared on what's gonna happen with me but reading abt you guys somehow tells me that sometimes being lost and not knowing what to do is part of life and it will somehow be okay and i will manage to do something am just too scared and clueless , thank you for sharing your thoughts and goodluck with your lives and wish me luck too
what an amazing story. I am turning 27 soon and never finished university. Now working in a grocery store while my friends work in corporate jobs. Most of the time I feel like a bum when I hangout with them. I love studying but mental health and finances are a big challenge. I've happened to come across this video and seeing everyone's stories is truly inspiring and makes me feel less lonely in this journey. Thank you
Aye man, just wanna say that there is no such thing as too late, you still a LOT like I mean a LOT of productive years ahead of you, so don't feel like you're "missing out". Cheers!
J is THE EXAMPLE of what focused and personal drive does. NOT hustle culture or "grinding" which just burns people out because it is moreso for external rewards. What James does is not easy yet he gets out of bed and pushes to be better every day. Damn, I'm right there with you J. Life is hard but we can do hard things. Thank you for reminding me. Location, money, clothes, nothing has to stand in your way of being 1% better than you were yesterday. This is about you, for you. Thanks, Jay! Means a lot.
Focus and personal drive is literally what hustle culture is, silly goose. He does what fits his life, that’s cool. Anyways, I hope you do strive to do the things that make you 1% better in your own life… because everyone’s life is different… cheers.
I've been watching you for a long time, I always thought my life wasn't perfect enough to study like you. Now I see that you live a very normal life and I don't need, luck, money, a minimalistic room and apartment right next to the university to study well. On top of that, you have exactly the same subjects in the university and you're even my age which made me think even more that I should just study and not waste my time.
Thanks for everything James, I discovered your channel 2 years ago now and I'll follow your path forever since it's an inspirational space, spirit growth, mindset growth and good vibes! Keep going! xx
Bro I stumbled across your channel some days ago, and idk exactly what it is about you, but you inspired me to be more disciplined and have routine. and I just wanted to say it’s refreshing and I’m thankful for you and your channel.
Mika just chilling with you while you're reading is EVERYTHING. Also really liked the video; the editing, the music, the vibes, it's so nice to watch :)
Just ten short minutes ago, I stumbled upon your channel, and I have to say, you've already become a huge inspiration to me. As I watched your videos, I couldn't help but be captivated by your incredible dedication and the amazing content you create. From your insightful commentary to the way you approach your studies, everything about your channel resonates with me. Your videos have left me in awe, and I'm genuinely grateful to have discovered your work. In such a short amount of time, you've become my role model. Your unwavering dedication and passion for your studies shine through in every video. You've shown me that with hard work and persistence, one can achieve greatness. I find myself truly inspired by your commitment to your education. But it's not just your academic achievements that impress me. It's your character and values that truly make you stand out. You consistently promote the importance of learning, growth, and personal development, and that resonates deeply with me. The positive impact you have on your community is evident, and I'm grateful to be a part of it now. Discovering your channel has opened my eyes to new possibilities and has given me the motivation to pursue my own educational goals. I find myself eager to learn and grow, just as you have. Your success is a testament to your hard work and studious nature, and it encourages me to believe in myself and my abilities. I want to express my sincerest gratitude for being such an exceptional role model. Your content brings inspiration and motivation to so many people, and I'm honored to be among them. I'm excited to follow your journey, learn from your experiences, and celebrate your successes. You've made a positive impact on my life, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you, Jay Skullz, for being an incredible source of inspiration. Please continue to share your knowledge and passion with the world and make a positive difference. I'll be cheering you on every step of the way.
This has actually inspired me to get my life back in control. I've been being so lazy, waking up late and wasting a lot of time, sometimes the whole day doing nothing or watching yt shorts and reels. It feels so bad to be stuck in a loop that I thought I couldn't break, I felt so useless and lost to my evil desires. I'll try my best to live days that I'll remember as happy or at least, not negative memories. Thank you James!
as someone who is striving to improve their life and is surrounded by individuals that don't have the same goal, this video is incredibly comforting. knowing that I'm not alone in my pursuits and that others out there understand the value of striving for something greater than mere complacency is a truly empowering feeling arigathanks james, you are appreciated !
I’m getting my doctorate in anesthesia, & I graduate in four weeks . I’ve been using your study with me videos to stay focused! You’re amazing!! And inspiring a lot of people keep pushing !!!!
I’m from Ukraine, I don’t understand English and what you say, I look at the subtitles of your videos and you inspire me a lot! Thank you, keep doing what you're doing and you'll be fine!
Thank you for this little peak into your life man! You eat healthy, live healthy, working hard towards your goals. People like you deserve everything they dream of...best of luck bud
I still remember when CZcams recommended a video of yours in the middle of the pandemic. At that time I was depressed, unmotivated and very dissatisfied with my academic performance. The streams were the push I needed to get ahead and to this day they mean a lot to me. My mindset and perspective on discipline and hard work have been completely changed (and for the better) thanks to you. I really admire your genuineness, humility and hard work. Values that we should all pursue. thank u J. (sorry for my English) (Mike is super cute)
You're aweosme, super focused, super driven and you make this brilliant content for us, cannot thank you enough! I love the cosy desk vibe and wish i knew how to programme 😅 but also, your style is so good! Early 00s Japan vibes
This is my favorite video in all of youtube right now. One of the few videos which doesn't feel meaningless and a waste of time. Thank you for making this.
I've been watching (and loving) your videos for a while now, but this video has to be one of my favorites! I love just watching the ordinary moments of your day. It shows just how much the small habits can lead to a quiet, "productive" life.
That's discipline. We're seeing the results but I can 100% tell that 60% of his productive journey was building discipline and habits over a long period of time, he prolly failed a lot but kept at it and here we are
@@lroji8154 It's not just for a certain goal i think he has built a system for himself to be better everyday which probably became a habit so even if he has a goal and achieved it he'd continue studying or being productive
The impact one person has on the mentality and lifestyle of thousands of people is inconceivable. You have advanced the way of thinking of more people than I can count, James. I became a digital minimalist at the very young age of 15, my perspective changed from motivation to drive. I have been able to focus since I removed the technology that consumes the brain and energy from life. My classes are going well. This happened with the Cal Newport book you suggested. It was certain that I would have a rough time incorporating them into my life without your support, much advice. Although we are not related by blood, you have modified the course of my life. Forever grateful to you. I hope you get your mom that big house and you'll be a great dad to your kids. You've already helped people. Thank you Jay, thank you for everything. If you happen to pass by Baku one day, know that you have a spiritual sister here. Have a good rest of your day!
10/10 video this was very inspiring seeing you and your college life this make me look forward to my college life and seeing these almost 0 hrs of screen time and no bullshit like Instagram or CZcams this is really amazing you've become a role model and I love your videos and stream and it's helping me grow as person and helping me mentally. Thank you, James thank you so much!!
i just got over my finals last week but i have to have an early start for my competitive exam in '24 , it was too hard to start over ever since this sense of burden got over and i wasn't even trying to prepare for a start despite knowing what my conditions are - thanks for sharing this , it hits me how hard i need to work for this upcoming year ,, it was really appreciated. thanks mate
James😭🤍 You are such an inspiration, thanks for this vlog. I also want to have productive days like you however my sleep routine is so fucked up, i sleep whole day…but i’ll try to find a way out. I love how Mika always wants you around, you both are so cute together🥹 I’d like to see more vlogs like that! Also congrats for your 1 million subscribers! Glad that we have you💗
James i got my board in less than 6 days!!! And while taking break I came across with your videos!!! Its crazy how people out there are studying like 12-14 hours a day!! And that's what motivated me!! No socials in morning only productive activities and yes this what make truly one different!!! I am aiming for 98% in boards gonna tell you after my results👍✨
This vlog is majestic asf (James is a walking role model. He got drip, lifts weights, drives a honda, studies like crazy and has mika. Trying to live his life in a few months when i go to college)
What a beautiful gift you present us all James. Keep living such a focused, minimalistic and present life. You my friend are on the right path in such a scrambled society. Continue being an outlier!
Hey, my life has changed so much because of you. love of books and love of lessons. I studied with you and now I am studying at university. You really have a very important place in my life. Everyone around me knows you. You've changed my life so much.
@Thawne with James Scholz. In the past, I could not study regularly.When I met James, I started working with his videos every day. I just made a study schedule and studied.
Hey James! When I discovered your channel, I was impressed by your tenacity and charisma. I've watched a lot of "study with me" videos, but your content came at the perfect time in my life. I thank you for helping me "without your knowing" to bring up many things in my life and hard work. Thanks thanks a lot! Greetings from Chile 👽
I'm glad I stumbled across your channel. I'm at my lowest point right now in life and am getting my act together at 25 and enrolling back into college for UX/UI design. Seeing your discipline carried day in, and day out lit a fire under my ass this morning! Time to study and hit the gym :)
I recently discovered your channel and I'm just loving your content. I'm trying to let go of some bad habits and start new routines, be more productive and focused. Your videos are really encouraging, thank you so much man, keep it up 🙏❤️
james is the only person in my opinion who looks like the most modern type of guy ever, but uses stuff from the 90s. Your an inspiration to any of is :)
Congrats, James! And thanks for sharing your life with us, man. Keep doing what you do. I'll be here to support you and learn something new from you. Much love! 🥰
its crazy i came across your vids like a couple of days ago and was really fascinated by the sheer uniqueness of your whole setup and I went into your vids looking for a productivity vlog and watched an older, all the while in my heart I wished there was a recent vid, (as if productivity is different based on time smh lol) now to my surprise a vid is uploaded yay!!
This is what Discipline's all about. I really admire that, and one day I hope to achieve that level of focus and balance in life. You've genuinely inspired me to better myself in many different aspects. Also the editing, music and everything was so sick! It was pure vibes. Keep it up J
Your study sessions motivated me a lot especially during the pandemic time..I have lost the track of time during the pandemic 'cause of you I was able to overcome that period ..and glad what am I today.. 'cause now I know hard work really pays off..thank you so muchhhh...for all your efforts. And I'm still attending your sessions live to become a better version of myself..
Your videos accidentally came to me while I got mentally breakdown, EVERYTHING in my life had just been messed up and I really got no idea about how to escape from it. At that time, your videos really gave me the motivation to grind day by day and back to my pre version, you just chillin with everything and somehow you still get better and better. I really appreciate for that! Wish you all luck. Peace!
I don't know was this intentional or not but the first song was so touching (especially after watching your video "why you work so hard" and relating to you as a child of a single mother). And the style of your editing is so nice too))
VERY Productive James! Thanks for showing your routine! It's simple, but covers all the essential things, exercise, food, studying, working, resting, spending time with your cat. Perfect😊 All the best to you for all the years ahead, I wish you success, peace of mind and happiness 🙏🏻 You're such a good kid and you help all of us too by being our inspiration! Keep up the good work!🙌🏻 Lastly, one thing is missing in this video, kinda itched me from within until the end...I really wanted to comb/brush your hair at least for once 😂😂I really wanted to see you do that. Oh, and the way Mika kept looking at you lovingly while you read, Uff my heart💓, lots of kisses to Mika!
Honestly, I watched these 11 minutes in almost a full hour, I watched every single angle of the video lol But Thank you for sharing man, It's so inspiring, really appreciate it
I couldn't get into a good uni. due to me not working hard and getting distracted. But I am amazed and inspired by seeing your study routine and work ethic. I hope everyone achieve their goals.
I am giving my college entrance exams in few months and your study sessions are really helpful to concentrate and study I hope I could clear my exam ..thank you for everything J.
The quality of this video is superb. 10/10 the soundtrack exquisite. It's so inspiring to see what a day can offer if you know how to manage your time. Thanks for sharing it and keep inspiring a lot of people (me included) to constantly improve. Send u a virtual Hug :3
ok ok, this is def a NEW ERA ! and it is productive af. *But as an architect I'd like to say few words about your place James;* I loved how your place is not one of those *"white washed always tidy productivity booster perfect nyc apartments"* with *"made beds, aesthetic appliances, pretty plants, popular furnitures"* etc. This is a _home,_ it is messy or dusty here and there. Walls and floors are covered with stuff which represents *_your_** interests* and *sense of aesthetic.* Some furnitures have *stories* - like your *desk being made of skateboards* or your *bed with white powder* - to prevent bedbugs - which you got after months of sleeping in the closet -. Your *earthy green walls* - which I guess you like a lot - cuz you had the same paint in your previous apartment and you've painted here the same color. And all other things I haven't noticed or remembered.. These are James, it's all "you". This place has a personality, this is not a showroom created for CZcams views. Yes it is *definetly aesthetic* but it is not mainstream, it bears your signature. Those "mainstream" homes are pretty too, but this is more genuine. I think this is one of the reasons why people love you cuz you are genuine, relatable, kind. You are not a "pushy hustler," you are humble and you're genuinely trying to help people. And yes I've said your environment seems a bit messy but you have a *working system* in it. You are productive af *because the tidiness, the system, the calmness, the composure is **_in your head_* and you run it pretty well. Idk if you'd read this or agree with this but I wanted to present my opinion. This turned out to be a lot more than few words lol. Sorry for the long text. Take care James and everyone !
I think you've achieved the perfect formula to life. It's so well balanced, and you seem so present in the moment always. Whatever task it is that you're doing, you seem to give your 100%. I really admire how you work so hard but at the same time you also rest, when the rest is due. Thank you for inspiring us J! We appreciate you sm. Continue doing what you do :p
I am from India.I am also in the final year and final sem of computer science.I am big fan of u. You are so inspiring to me.I regularly watch your content and it motivates me every time.whenever i feel destructed you only comes to my mind .Do more such videos and congratulations for 1M subscribers, you deserves it. we always be with u. All the best❤❤

This ^. Seeing this gave me some clarity and realism to my goals.
How old is he?

I had this exact thoughts while watching the video. I think I'm now motivated to work harder and not complain lol

Thanks for everything James, I discovered your channel 2 years ago now and I'll follow your path forever since it's an inspirational space, spirit growth, mindset growth and good vibes! Keep going! xx
Bro I stumbled across your channel some days ago, and idk exactly what it is about you, but you inspired me to be more disciplined and have routine. and I just wanted to say it’s refreshing and I’m thankful for you and your channel.

it's like poetic

ok
Mika just chilling with you while you're reading is EVERYTHING. Also really liked the video; the editing, the music, the vibes, it's so nice to watch :)

Just ten short minutes ago, I stumbled upon your channel, and I have to say, you've already become a huge inspiration to me.
As I watched your videos, I couldn't help but be captivated by your incredible dedication and the amazing content you create. From your insightful commentary to the way you approach your studies, everything about your channel resonates with me. Your videos have left me in awe, and I'm genuinely grateful to have discovered your work.
In such a short amount of time, you've become my role model. Your unwavering dedication and passion for your studies shine through in every video. You've shown me that with hard work and persistence, one can achieve greatness. I find myself truly inspired by your commitment to your education.
But it's not just your academic achievements that impress me. It's your character and values that truly make you stand out. You consistently promote the importance of learning, growth, and personal development, and that resonates deeply with me. The positive impact you have on your community is evident, and I'm grateful to be a part of it now.
Discovering your channel has opened my eyes to new possibilities and has given me the motivation to pursue my own educational goals. I find myself eager to learn and grow, just as you have. Your success is a testament to your hard work and studious nature, and it encourages me to believe in myself and my abilities.
I want to express my sincerest gratitude for being such an exceptional role model. Your content brings inspiration and motivation to so many people, and I'm honored to be among them. I'm excited to follow your journey, learn from your experiences, and celebrate your successes. You've made a positive impact on my life, and for that, I am truly grateful.
Thank you, Jay Skullz, for being an incredible source of inspiration. Please continue to share your knowledge and passion with the world and make a positive difference. I'll be cheering you on every step of the way.
This man studies, lifts and codes. Truly a fucking inspiration.
James is just so likeable. It's nice not feeling alone when you take the challenging path :)

This has actually inspired me to get my life back in control. I've been being so lazy, waking up late and wasting a lot of time, sometimes the whole day doing nothing or watching yt shorts and reels. It feels so bad to be stuck in a loop that I thought I couldn't break, I felt so useless and lost to my evil desires. I'll try my best to live days that I'll remember as happy or at least, not negative memories. Thank you James!
this is me
hows it going so far?
ive been on the internet since 2009 and this is my favorite video ive seen tens of thousands but this one takes the cake thankyou
as someone who is striving to improve their life and is surrounded by individuals that don't have the same goal, this video is incredibly comforting. knowing that I'm not alone in my pursuits and that others out there understand the value of striving for something greater than mere complacency is a truly empowering feeling
arigathanks james, you are appreciated !
Ikr
he is a role model, I owe him a lot
Lead them
This so true I relate to this so so much
I love how your cat just stares at you while you read in bed lol
I’m getting my doctorate in anesthesia, & I graduate in four weeks . I’ve been using your study with me videos to stay focused! You’re amazing!! And inspiring a lot of people keep pushing !!!!
should I pursue medicine if I am having second thoughts about it all the time? What's your advice
this guy has the most chillin life ive ever seen, productive, simplistic and ambitious... he just keep grinding@@
I’m from Ukraine, I don’t understand English and what you say, I look at the subtitles of your videos and you inspire me a lot! Thank you, keep doing what you're doing and you'll be fine!
how the fuck you commented in english
Английский несложный же, потихоньку выучишь.
Успехов в учебе!
I'm from Ukraine too. James' videos help me a lot as well.

hope you are safe
Thank you for this little peak into your life man! You eat healthy, live healthy, working hard towards your goals. People like you deserve everything they dream of...best of luck bud
I keep coming back to this video when I feel empty and idk why this video soothes me but thank you
same here ive watched this vid at least 20 times now 💀
I still remember when CZcams recommended a video of yours in the middle of the pandemic. At that time I was depressed, unmotivated and very dissatisfied with my academic performance. The streams were the push I needed to get ahead and to this day they mean a lot to me.
My mindset and perspective on discipline and hard work have been completely changed (and for the better) thanks to you. I really admire your genuineness, humility and hard work. Values that we should all pursue. thank u J.
(sorry for my English)
(Mike is super cute)
A vibe que o James consegue transmitir é incrível
Esse vídeo dele é antigo, ou são recentes??
né
@@David-bf9ry são recentes, porque ele voltou com as lives recentemente
Nossa, simmm. É uma energia incrível
Demais!
You're aweosme, super focused, super driven and you make this brilliant content for us, cannot thank you enough! I love the cosy desk vibe and wish i knew how to programme 😅 but also, your style is so good! Early 00s Japan vibes
This is my favorite video in all of youtube right now. One of the few videos which doesn't feel meaningless and a waste of time. Thank you for making this.
I've been watching (and loving) your videos for a while now, but this video has to be one of my favorites! I love just watching the ordinary moments of your day. It shows just how much the small habits can lead to a quiet, "productive" life.
Everything he does is just so effortlessly productive like how???
I can promise you it’s not effortless
Spending little to no time on social media helps a lot
That's discipline. We're seeing the results but I can 100% tell that 60% of his productive journey was building discipline and habits over a long period of time, he prolly failed a lot but kept at it and here we are
Can someone please tell me what is he studding for? What is the goal of this ??
@@lroji8154 It's not just for a certain goal i think
he has built a system for himself to be better everyday which probably became a habit so even if he has a goal and achieved it he'd continue studying or being productive
saving this vid to watch everytime my motivation drops fr
The impact one person has on the mentality and lifestyle of thousands of people is inconceivable. You have advanced the way of thinking of more people than I can count, James. I became a digital minimalist at the very young age of 15, my perspective changed from motivation to drive. I have been able to focus since I removed the technology that consumes the brain and energy from life. My classes are going well. This happened with the Cal Newport book you suggested. It was certain that I would have a rough time incorporating them into my life without your support, much advice. Although we are not related by blood, you have modified the course of my life. Forever grateful to you. I hope you get your mom that big house and you'll be a great dad to your kids. You've already helped people. Thank you Jay, thank you for everything. If you happen to pass by Baku one day, know that you have a spiritual sister here. Have a good rest of your day!
his life's so simple but yet so inspiring

10/10 video this was very inspiring seeing you and your college life this make me look forward to my college life and seeing these almost 0 hrs of screen time and no bullshit like Instagram or CZcams this is really amazing you've become a role model and I love your videos and stream and it's helping me grow as person and helping me mentally. Thank you, James thank you so much!!
You changed a lot of life, James. You really did. Thank you!
i just got over my finals last week but i have to have an early start for my competitive exam in '24 , it was too hard to start over ever since this sense of burden got over and i wasn't even trying to prepare for a start despite knowing what my conditions are - thanks for sharing this , it hits me how hard i need to work for this upcoming year ,, it was really appreciated. thanks mate
James😭🤍 You are such an inspiration, thanks for this vlog. I also want to have productive days like you however my sleep routine is so fucked up, i sleep whole day…but i’ll try to find a way out. I love how Mika always wants you around, you both are so cute together🥹 I’d like to see more vlogs like that! Also congrats for your 1 million subscribers! Glad that we have you💗
chilling with a cat in bed has to be one of the most comforting things ever. Love your content and your cat!

And that's what motivated me!! No socials in morning only productive activities and yes this what make truly one different!!! I am aiming for 98% in boards gonna tell you after my results👍✨
This vlog is majestic asf
(James is a walking role model. He got drip, lifts weights, drives a honda, studies like crazy and has mika. Trying to live his life in a few months when i go to college)

What a beautiful gift you present us all James. Keep living such a focused, minimalistic and present life. You my friend are on the right path in such a scrambled society.
Continue being an outlier!
mano eu mal posso acreditar que você ainda exista o seu mindset ta de uma forma david goggins literalmente continue firme meu caro amigo
Hey, my life has changed so much because of you. love of books and love of lessons. I studied with you and now I am studying at university. You really have a very important place in my life. Everyone around me knows you. You've changed my life so much.
@Thawne with James Scholz. In the past, I could not study regularly.When I met James, I started working with his videos every day. I just made a study schedule and studied.
Hey James! When I discovered your channel, I was impressed by your tenacity and charisma. I've watched a lot of "study with me" videos, but your content came at the perfect time in my life. I thank you for helping me "without your knowing" to bring up many things in my life and hard work. Thanks thanks a lot! Greetings from Chile 👽
I'm glad I stumbled across your channel. I'm at my lowest point right now in life and am getting my act together at 25 and enrolling back into college for UX/UI design. Seeing your discipline carried day in, and day out lit a fire under my ass this morning! Time to study and hit the gym :)
I recently discovered your channel and I'm just loving your content. I'm trying to let go of some bad habits and start new routines, be more productive and focused. Your videos are really encouraging, thank you so much man, keep it up 🙏❤️
james is the only person in my opinion who looks like the most modern type of guy ever, but uses stuff from the 90s. Your an inspiration to any of is :)
Congrats, James! And thanks for sharing your life with us, man.
Keep doing what you do. I'll be here to support you and learn something new from you. Much love! 🥰
This really motivated me to be use my time more mindfully! Thanks for motivating me James I'm all pumped up for the new semester
rooting for u 😳
its crazy i came across your vids like a couple of days ago and was really fascinated by the sheer uniqueness of your whole setup and I went into your vids looking for a productivity vlog and watched an older, all the while in my heart I wished there was a recent vid, (as if productivity is different based on time smh lol) now to my surprise a vid is uploaded yay!!
you are my inspiration bro you are the one who push me whenever you uploads. i learned a lot from you wish i had a friend like you.
This is what Discipline's all about. I really admire that, and one day I hope to achieve that level of focus and balance in life. You've genuinely inspired me to better myself in many different aspects. Also the editing, music and everything was so sick! It was pure vibes. Keep it up J
Your study sessions motivated me a lot especially during the pandemic time..I have lost the track of time during the pandemic 'cause of you I was able to overcome that period ..and glad what am I today.. 'cause now I know hard work really pays off..thank you so muchhhh...for all your efforts.
And I'm still attending your sessions live to become a better version of myself..
Your videos accidentally came to me while I got mentally breakdown, EVERYTHING in my life had just been messed up and I really got no idea about how to escape from it. At that time, your videos really gave me the motivation to grind day by day and back to my pre version, you just chillin with everything and somehow you still get better and better. I really appreciate for that! Wish you all luck. Peace!
This is grind, pure purpose and dedication. Gorgeous.
Yes yes and yes, these videos are the reason for my existence, you never disappoint 🤘🏻✨
I don't know was this intentional or not but the first song was so touching (especially after watching your video "why you work so hard" and relating to you as a child of a single mother). And the style of your editing is so nice too))
I love this vlog sm, i think ive watched it 50 times alr
VERY Productive James! Thanks for showing your routine! It's simple, but covers all the essential things, exercise, food, studying, working, resting, spending time with your cat. Perfect😊
All the best to you for all the years ahead, I wish you success, peace of mind and happiness 🙏🏻 You're such a good kid and you help all of us too by being our inspiration! Keep up the good work!🙌🏻
Lastly, one thing is missing in this video, kinda itched me from within until the end...I really wanted to comb/brush your hair at least for once 😂😂I really wanted to see you do that.
Oh, and the way Mika kept looking at you lovingly while you read, Uff my heart💓, lots of kisses to Mika!
Your life looks so relaxing and calm that it motivates me to pursue my dreams because that's what I want
this made my day 10 times better. thank you james❤️
I got motivation from him during my class 10 journey, got school 4th Ranking and 2 trophies. Thank you for changing our lives Jamz.

James productivity videos are nothing but a Vibe 💫❤️
Just his life as it is. No convenient shot angles, fake habits or overwelming detail. THIS is good content.
Woah the calmness in this video is truly unmatched :D
Honestly, I watched these 11 minutes in almost a full hour, I watched every single angle of the video lol But Thank you for sharing man, It's so inspiring, really appreciate it

You are so wonderful and persistent, I love people like you❤❤
What an advanced, disciplined life it is. Big Respect.
great video, so inspiring, so beautiful, so peaceful. Everything I needed.
I like how the cat is also styding with him giving him company
guy is so disciplined it's unreal. very inspiring
ok ok, this is def a NEW ERA ! and it is productive af. *But as an architect I'd like to say few words about your place James;*
I loved how your place is not one of those *"white washed always tidy productivity booster perfect nyc apartments"* with *"made beds, aesthetic appliances, pretty plants, popular furnitures"* etc. This is a _home,_ it is messy or dusty here and there. Walls and floors are covered with stuff which represents *_your_** interests* and *sense of aesthetic.* Some furnitures have *stories* - like your *desk being made of skateboards* or your *bed with white powder* - to prevent bedbugs - which you got after months of sleeping in the closet -. Your *earthy green walls* - which I guess you like a lot - cuz you had the same paint in your previous apartment and you've painted here the same color. And all other things I haven't noticed or remembered..
These are James, it's all "you". This place has a personality, this is not a showroom created for CZcams views. Yes it is *definetly aesthetic* but it is not mainstream, it bears your signature. Those "mainstream" homes are pretty too, but this is more genuine. I think this is one of the reasons why people love you cuz you are genuine, relatable, kind. You are not a "pushy hustler," you are humble and you're genuinely trying to help people. And yes I've said your environment seems a bit messy but you have a *working system* in it. You are productive af *because the tidiness, the system, the calmness, the composure is **_in your head_* and you run it pretty well. Idk if you'd read this or agree with this but I wanted to present my opinion. This turned out to be a lot more than few words lol. Sorry for the long text. Take care James and everyone !
thank u edanur😳
Wow😳 this felt so nice to read for some reason thankyou
this is like the best comment ive ever read
