- Hi guys, back with another study video so you can start your academic year off right!
This video builds upon my most popular study video centred around 'working less' to increase productivity and your ability to use active learning. I dive into how to implement this concept into your studying and how to make it work for you.

Thanks for the video Abbey, hoping this will help me hit the ground running when I start at Cambridge this month
Ur such a comforting CZcamsr thank you !
That’s so kind, thank you!
Thank you for this!
Hi Hi Abbi ❤
I liked your previous video about not to work for too much, and to write notes.
Thank you this was an eye opener for me ❤❤
appreciate your videos so much!!!! :)
Hey abbey,
I’m about to start my study at Cambridge. Can’t wait to implement your study tips. The video was great!
Thank you, good luck at Cambridge!
abbey! As a biochemical engineer in the states, I love your study videos bc they’re so real! I would love to hear your advice on professional development and how much you recommend working on that per day/per week!
edit: my favorite tip is the one where you suggest doing something you enjoy thoroughly to take your mind off work AND that you’re really good at to give yourself a self-esteem boost before going into your more dreaded tasks. A lot of the time we avoid or procrastinate from fear of not doing well or not knowing how to tackle our task
The things said in this video is so on point it hurts my ego bad! 💀But maybe this is what I need to hear the most 😖
ahh great tips abbey :) love it
Needed this😢
Can you now make a video on how you studied in the time you have planned - and how many hours per day have you studied? Have you also studied weekend? Can you give us a more detailed video about your active learning with examples and a red line? How did your flashcards looked like?
Hi Abby, I'm so much thankful for this video since I'm preparing for my exams right now. All your tips have really worked for me so far to the extend that I don't want search for any other study videos in other channels. Sometimes I find myself in all three categories from time to time. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers mate
Thank you Abbey! what tools do you use for making a schedule?
No problem, I actually usually use pen and paper or I use Notion!
My grades are high, is just that my university always delays my financial aid disbursements until after the third week, resulting in me buying my books late!
I am profile 3 too. It affects social life, health and grades. I have performed well in the first 3 years of my degree, but I got burnt out this year and messed up some grades. I’m hoping making question cards for active learning, reasonable working times so I don’t get burnt out and having more of a social life will help me get better grades. Thank you for this advice! Ps, do you have any exercises or advice for training deep thinking?
Deep thinking is hard especially in a world of distractions like TikTok - but my advice would be to set yourself a period of time with no phone, no distractions and just getting into your work, if you can't get to it after that time then move on and do something else. But as you keep trying you will likely start finding it easier and then you can start doing it for longer too!
Where do you find the motivation to be motivated and stay motivated? That’s my paradox issue atm
I don’t normally offer unsolicited advice, but this is an excellent question, and one that I have encountered myriad times within the sphere of music. What inspires someone to practice (good practice sounds bad). Truth be told, envisage a bite sized end goal and thinking of a way to measure your progress will yield some remarkable results. Be gentle with yourself. Yes it is cheesy, but if it were easy, then everyone would be doing it. Make a mental note of why your subject interests you. Do you wake up excited to learn? If not, then do you really need this skill/knowledge under your belt? I hope this helps. Very best wishes to you smashing your goals. All the best.
Read the book Relentless by Tim S Grover. Real talk
your problem that you want motivation to start, just dont be motivated, just do it
relying on motivation will only get you so far. that’s like if you told yourself you’ll only do homework whenever you’re happy.. that doesn’t sound productive. you need to have discipline
Is it just me or did ya'll see that orb at 2:31
хорошие подсказки

Clickbait. It was a dissertation, not average degree? What was your final grade average?
Watch her other videos
