Sorry for the long wait on this, everyone! The reason is (insert lame excuses here)... ...for real though, I was in NYC, Vermont, and Colorado over the past two weeks, and got sick in between. Back on schedule now though ;)
***** Do you find it hard to read? (you read backwards?) how about type what's on a book? what are the ways you came up with to make it easier for you to learn new material? (audiobooks etc)
I've been using Google calendar for a while now, mostly because of your videos, and just last week I found out that my uni's course scheduling system allows me to import my timetable to Google with a couple of clicks. I'm probably a bit too excited for this feature, but it saves me trying to put in every single class by itself.
@@4plantsinthewindow idk but i had the same thing just much more lame cuz it displays ur full name before the event and it just takes up space its dumb but i think it just has to be connected to ur school system. like, check, if you have your online grade system where teachers write your grades and if you hve a schedchule for tests, there might be a button to import it in your callendar, but if not, honeslty, it might be for the better. maybe just write it down yourself in your callendar, that way youll know for sure when things are and its easier to change them if the teahcers change the date
Hello! How was your first year? Did you become a pro and the best student at the group? This summer i finished my first year of university and my thoughts were absolute the same as yours. Unfortunately, I have only 88/100 and that is sad :c
I'd love to see a video on how you create separate calendars (for work, school, goal/projects) within Google Calendar? I've been using Google Calendar for a couple of years now and still don't know how to set that up. Thanks for the great videos!
For deadlines and submission dates it is very important to not just putting them in your calendar, but also already putting the times in, when you are planning to work towards them. Otherwise being alerted to them at the very day will be too late.
Not long ago I prefered to make calendars by myself. But now it takes to much time and you always have to move or change things. I actually didn't know about google calendar before I watched this video. I't so helpfull. Thank you!
This could not have come at a better time! My exams start in 2 weeks, and I am just resetting my calendars to prepare a study schedule! Thank you, Thomas!
Thomas Frank you should be rewarded with a nobel price for college education! I'm reading your book, it's going pretty awesome, plus I have gotten better grades ever since I applied some of your cool techniques. thanks :D
Google calendar would have saved me so many times over if I'd thought to start using it in college. Seriously, best thing ever. These days I use Sunrise calendar which IMHO turns Gcal into a serious powerhouse of a tool.
Your videos really help my friend and I get our lives in order. We are on our second semester of college and have taken so much advice from you this past year. We have saved so much money on school books that we started a competition to see who could spend the least. Anyway thank you and I paused halfway through this video just to schedule in my finals before I forgot.
Your channel is so inspiring! Ever since I started watching your videos I have looked at the concept of learning so differently. When I was in high school I really struggled with studying and only now do I realise it's because I always focussed on how much I study, not how I study. Also, your eyebrows are fantastic.
hiii can you please do a video for law students, we have massive amount of information to memorize and it's so hard, do you have any tips for us like how to study efficiently and deal with the amount of books we have to study.. thanks and love your vids :)
+Soham Shah , Marianna is great! I basically had no actual skills until I started watching Thomas and Mariana's videos. I use her system of note taking.
Can you please do a video on dealing with summer time as a student and coming back to school. I have a real problem with this. Also maybe some things you can do in summer to keep your brain active and studies and stuff.
I want you to make a video on 'how to be persistent' ,, and yeah plz use much tough vocabulary so that it could be helpful for enhancing my Voc ,,, i love eur fluency ,,,
have you considered posting a youtube video as far as study skills and organization tips for middle school aged kids? You're one of the few 'guys' posting on this topic and younger kids are being expected to do more executive function skills. Looking for ways to make the topic more interesting for younger students and WHY it's important.
Your videos are getting funnier by the day! Still just as informative of course, but I'm loving all the little jokes you put in :D So glad you're back.
Hey, Thomas! Nice value here, thanks. I can only add that there is also a Gmail plugin called Assistant. www.assistant.to. If you haven't found out I guess it may be interesting to search for it. It is simpler than your suggestion and works only for Gmail at the moment, but sometimes simplicity is wealth.
Personally, I don't like apps with tons of features so I chose Sol calender (idk if it's available for desktop). It has just what I need... Beautiful interface and widgets and a simple reminder and scheduling feature. Love it and use it everyday. It also has to do lists so I don't need to use a separate app for that. :)
You talk about using Evernote a lot; it would be amazing to get a video like this one on how you use it. I've never managed to stick with Evernote, but I think I'm just using it inefficiently
Thank you, it helped me a lot. Watched your first video on different calender's for different activities, wasn't even realizing how much time I actually have. Productivity ninjas ftw!
+TaylorGray I probably won't make a video about it, but the most important things to do are: 1. Eat clean - I'm pretty confident that sugar, wheat, and processed foods in general are a huge cause 2. Drink a lot of water 3. Be healthy in general - exercise and sleep well 4. Keep your sheets and pillowcase washed 5. For treatments, cleansing with witchhazel or apple cider vinegar helped the most. I tried pretty much everything out there except Accutane, and it was always my diet/water intake that correlated with improvement and breakouts. Also, a tool like Habitica can really help you stay consistent with things like sheet-changing, water intake, and face washing/cleansing - because it's really easy to skip. Lastly, part of the solution might simply be getting older. I know that's absolutely not what you want to hear, but my complexion really did improve once I hit my 20's, at least on my face. Chest still isn't perfect (and I'm not sure if it'll ever be). Hope this helps!
Congrats you're version of "an incredible professional business man" it's the vision of some tuna's in Portugal while on the typical suite of the "I'm drunk now, let's party" XD
Thanks for this vid thomas! I wished I knew sooner doodle scheduling website, when I was trying to make 37 students' schedules meet for our organization's weekly meeting. But I will try it next semester. Thank you so much :D
Please make a video on how you organise your files and folders on pc or on cloud storage... If this video is already there please send me the link... Thanks in advance....
Haha I love how incredibly professional you look as a business man thomas 0:19. Also What do you use to keep track of homework assignments? It's actually hard to find good advice for this on the internet. Do you use a school planner or an app? Thanks so much for making these videos. They've helped me in my productivity immensely.
It is nice the way you organize, but once I have seen the calendar events from 1:37, I remembered of myself, I was in a similar situation at some point and I basically had everything scheduled. My question is: isn't this causing anxiety and even a decrease in productivity? I had this feeling and after I removed more than half of the events, I felt more comfortable :) Keep it up with your good videos! :)
Hi Thomas I'm from Morocco and I love your videos I'm just wondering if you can put your first speach ever , it's gonna be a kind of motivation for me to speak in front of strange people. thanks a lot , and keep doing videos! !
Hey, Tom Your videos are really helpful! I am looking for any app that could help me organizing to brush up. I mean some kind app that works based on a cycle of readings to make sure that i will not forget an important information for my exams. I am studying for an exam that happens only once a year, then I have to be really sure to remember every single thing. I have hear about methods based on, for example, to brush up after 24h, then 1 week, and again after a month. Either an app or a method , any help is very welcome. Congratulations for your work , it is amazing!
Hi Thomas Frank, Your information is fantastic. As a basketball coach and teacher I talk and send your URLs to my players to assist them with their school studies. Parents think your tutorials are great. Thank you so much. I am not sure how to save Google calendar for me. could you explain this for me being an older person. Thanks again. Trevor Cook.
I need help. Productivity software and apps are hugely important to keep track of your calendar, agenda, and tasks. This video was a year ago. And Sunrise was bought by Microsoft who has Outlook which is terrible and they haven't done anything better with Outlook. And all other videos on CZcams suggesting calendars are old. I can't believe there aren't many more or better choices like Sunrise available for managing your activities.
I don't know whether you will have time to respond to this: I am both a student and a dancer. I have had a lot of injuries and I need an app or calendar to input all of my past class schedules, dates of injuries, performances, lost opportunities and future endeavors. Then I would like to look at this for patterns and suggestions (I make myself) for what to do better next time (graphs, tables, charts), as well as costs and expenses-such as to support a request for tuition refund over these periods of time, or for specific periods of time. Most importantly, I would like to have this one place-one big calendar-that I can share and which I can add notes to for some days-for instance, from my journal (deeper descriptions). Is there a way to do this all?
+3684marie1 yep - in some cases, I added the class the next semester and tried again. In others, they were extracurriculars that I didn't end up liking, so I found a replacement.
i noticed that you had events in your calendar that overlapped with others(specifically the ones with the professor stuff) how do you go on with these? do you sometimes decide on not doing the activity in blue? or do you do the green, then when the blue comes up you up switch activities?
The Professor Office Hours calendar is a special calendar that simply tells me when each professor has their office hours. I never actually went to all of them - it was just a reference, in case I needed to go visit a professor and didn't know what time they'd be in their office. Most of the time, that calendar remained hidden.
Hey, love the video! I'm wondering if you've heard of or looked at a relatively new calendar app called Plan that is a to do list combined with a calendar. It then lets you pull those tasks in to your calendar, creating that time pressure and allowing you to block off time for what you need to get done. I recognize that they're new so they may not have figured everything out yet, but I'm just wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks!
I like Frank because he speaks so fast I don't have to use the 1.25x or 1.5x speed option not to waste time
Kael Vilar
I agree. I am not a native English speaker and I understand 99% of that he speaks. The other 1% I use the captions that he kindly provides.
E McA you would love the Green brothers
LOL real stuff

@@4plantsinthewindow idk but i had the same thing just much more lame cuz it displays ur full name before the event and it just takes up space its dumb but i think it just has to be connected to ur school system. like, check, if you have your online grade system where teachers write your grades and if you hve a schedchule for tests, there might be a button to import it in your callendar, but if not, honeslty, it might be for the better.
maybe just write it down yourself in your callendar, that way youll know for sure when things are and its easier to change them if the teahcers change the date

How’s uni going after 2 years, you gotta update us haha

Where was CZcams with this stuff when I graduated from High School in 2001? Oh yeah, it was just getting started.
Nope, it didn't start until 2006 I believe.
Lucy: 2006? ... oh my what did I do with my time? Maybe I just learned things by doing things.
So you're 33 years old.
Don't blame me , i like calculating stuff.

I haven't listened to your videos in a while and I kind of missed watching them.

I just use the apple/iPhone calendar and a couple old fashioned wall calendars. works for me. I like the apple calendar will alert u twice if u want.

Great to see you back Thomas! Just in time also as I have numerous assignments this week.
Really good video, very helpful tips on how to use the different tools, thank you so much for your insight!
