- How do you get to study when you have zero motivation to do so? It's a problem we've all faced, myself included. Let's be real, watching Jocko Willink CZcams videos amps you up in the moment, but motivation doesn't sustain you, and soon enough, you're back in a rut.
I get it. I've been there. There have been countless times where the last thing I wanted to do was study, but I consistently managed to get myself to do it. Here's how:

Dude, I can't take breaks. Starting is indeed the hardest part. With me it's either pull an all-nighter or taking a seven-week-break after 25 min of working. 🤦🏻♀️
Lol me
Same bruh
No in between?
Just stay there doing nothing, it's easier
I felt that. I always either just think about my homework or pull a several hour long all nighter
The reward system just doesn’t work for me :( e.g. I promise myself a cookie after finishing my work but then my brain is like „but you can just eat the cookie now and don’t do anything“ and I just can’t argue with that logic 🤷🏻♀️
I dont have a reward to give me . Nothing makes me happy.
@@captainstark5496 same
My brain says to me that i shoud stop learning anything from university, have a shit job and low pay and i would be happy. Like wtf
@@captainstark5496 then do nothing and you will be happy.....
Actually that's not true😗
anna maybe try cutting junk food out of your diet , that way you might actually study and get a cookie as a reward , although you need willpower
I just suddenly want to sleep whenever I start studying.
Honestly, I think a lot of us face this issue because when we study, we feel like we're performing a chore. Try focusing less on the fact that you're studying and more on the subject. Really immerse yourself into the subject and you won't even realize how much time has flown by.
@@nivedithagirish4023 you can't just say this isn't a chore how could you just change your mindset like that
Haha..i use this trick to go to sleep at night😂
@@hinamatsuro1908 By setting up your life so that you're only ever studying things you care about and enjoy learning in the first place. That's what works for me, anyway 🤷♂️ I make pretty much no compromises, and for the few subjects I still need to knock out but don't care about, I find a way to make them interesting and shortcut as much as possible. Then it's never a chore, for me it's easy to remind myself that I'm lucky as hell to finally be not just allowed but required to spend my time being a student instead of having other crushing survival pressures right then. But it only works when I care about the material lol
I think youtube recommendations is trying to tell me something...
That study?

Personal Summary:
• Audit Yourself - Open a journal/note and jot down how you're feeling over a period of time. Then add in your solutions.
• Power of Language - "So what?" say it out when you're not feeling motivated. Use "and" instead of "but"
• Lower the Activation Energy - Create sub-tasks, decrease commitment, choose easy tasks, and lower your expectations.
• Add Some Spice - Have a reward system, vary the subject matter and move!
Thx
Thank you!!!
Thanks a lot.
All clear indeed
thx i needed this for school lmao
"I dont wanna study"
"so what?"

Why was this recommended to me? How does CZcams know i have to study? How does CZcams know iam not studying?

This video was on my “watch later” list for way too long

Lol its been there for months
oh yah
Same lol
1. Note the pain points
2. The power of language
- I don't feel like studying
"SO WHAT?"
- I have to study for my midterms but I don't feel like it.
USE "AND" INSTEAD OF "BUT"
• Two phrases independent of each other and don't effect each other.
• I am accountable
3. Lower Activation Energy.
The problem is with getting started.
Divide the tasks into the smallest of chunks.
Do the same with time commitments.
No "long-term commitments". You can quit whenever you want. But once you get started, you wouldn't want to do so. The Zeigarnic Effect.
4. Start with the easiest tasks.
5. Lower your expectations. Start with the intention of writing something bad.
6. When you have been studying for some time and eventually run out of steam::: Add some spice.
• Subject Variations.
• Vary methods
• reward system
• Move --
- new location
- exercise
Thx👍👍👍
Thank you so much
HOW!? just how did u manage to listen to him so well????
@@purvishriya8849 that's not a bot ?!?!?!?

Quick Summary:
1. Audit Yourself, examine your system. Keep journal. Mark at what time you were doing what.
2. Say "so what". When you dont feel studying.
3. Use "and" instead of "but".
4. Starting is hardest part - Divide tasks into smaller one.
5. Use Pomodoro - 25min work, 5min break.
6. When starting is hard - Complete some easier task to create a momentum.
7. Lower your expectations and just start the task.
8. Add some spice - Switch Subjects or topics.
- Rewards yourself
- Move, exercise or walking
Edit:
Fixed 3rd point. Thanks for 4K likes.
Ankit R this is great! Number 3 should be switched: “and” instead of “but”
also i learnt that its important to ask yourself "why" you feel like not doing anything and "why" you feel lazy. also read up on "have to vs. want to" but theres always a certain pain and feeling we like to avoid that is rooted in the reason why we dont want to get things done.
I tried the pomodoro but I can actually waste 25 minutes just looking at a single page waiting for my timer to finish..
Correction in mentioned step 3.......use "and" instead of "but".
Lovet the tl;dr
I get this feeling all the time and end up procrastinating.... I'm half way through my nursing school and I can't afford to procrastinate.... thank you for the study tips....
Moya Bejer I finished nursing school and have failed the NCLEX so I need to take it again. I don’t want to study anymore!!
@@Kiddlekud , don't give up... Take it again after 45 days.....
Moya Bejer I’m actually going to take it again at the beginning of December so I should be studying right now but it’s so hard. I really hope I pass.
@@Kiddlekud , keep practicing NCLEX questions... I've been through it before when I took the NCLEX-PN... Now I'm going to take it again for my NCLEX-RN... Good Luck and I hope you pass....
Saaaame I’m in block 2 and burned out
Who else is not able to concentrate on studies due to lockdown??
Me and ever since lockdown I just couldn't study and when I went to school I loved to study
@@saptarshidas1461 I never liked studies but still I did them for marks...but now I'm just not able to fucking concentrate
I was able to get higher grades in the first semester. Now, currently on second, feels like I'm getting tired of it.
@@forpurposes3168 same..
Man even how much i force myself to do so i just cant
Its so much now much more and i'll literally go angry at my mother(a teacher) who tells me to do my modules every fuckin day
I cant even learn anything from google classroom
Face 2 face class is much better
I guess my smallest and hardest first move now is to close youtube
True🤣😭
🤣🤣🤣Sooooo true
Yes I should prolly do that
True
Same.😂😂😂
When there are 2-3 months before the exam, no matter how much i try to study, i cant study a shit, but when there are just 2-3 days left, i can study the whole day without even taking a break.
Exactly...me too ...
Omg mee too 🥱
Youre a pressure motivator
BYE
My exam is 5 days later but still i dont want to study
I have finals within the next 3 weeks, wish me luck ! And if you're in a similar position like me, good luck!
Good luck
all the best !
Good luck🙂
Break a leg
Good luck....sorry if its late
These tips really do work! That’s how i ended up with straight As in 4 classes this past summer semester!
Awesome congrats!!
No way....for real??!!

Me: I am sleepy
Me: *SO WHAT?*
Reply I will sleep
@@ski.7 I WILL SLEEP
Haha 😂✌✌
YOUR TIMING IS SCARY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE A DOCTOR NOT A MIND READER DAMN!!!
I love to know about it more! Lol as if you really are
Probably peak finals period
i studied for 6hours almost straight and nailed the exam
walked like a boss to get my paper and i found out it's worth it
Studying for long time in one go is not very effective. You forget what you learnt very soon.
I know...
I did the same and got 2.3/10 noice
Holy shit! Plz write how u achieved this
@@pickle3641 study for about 1-2 hours then take a break and study again, you need the information to sink in a little
I also found out that if I write things I need to learn on the paper, Science, Geography... I will remember it clearly. I failed my finances(?) test and the teacher said that I can improve the grade, I got a C and fixed the grade. (She also gave me like a day too so)
Me: I'm feeling motivated to study! I'll go to study!
Also me: SO WHAT?
Me: ...Oh, Ok....
🤣🤣🤣
exactly hahahhaha
hahahahahahah lmaoooo
“I am in fact human.” Wait that’s exactly what robot would say.

@@bellamidior 5:43 :(
Happened to me right before an exam. I got a backlog in that subject.
For me its not 5 am .....its 10 am
Wow this is amazing! I am definitely most excited to utilise these techniques.
If I may add fifth step:
Tell yourself "I GET to do this" instead of "I HAVE to do this". Not many people have access to education so you're definitely fortunate to be studying indoors being comfortable and warm. Instead of working hardcore labour for 10 hours since your country is war-torn. Also if we look at this more specifically just for university students, not everyone has the capability of studying Medicine, Law, Engineering etc. due to the tough requirements that many people can't meet. Again because you're in a fortunate position to be in your dream course, you GET the opportunity to do this. Appreciate. Live. Love.
This way of thought always keeps me moving forward to bigger and better things!
Awesome tip! Mindset and gratitude is key.
This is a really nice way to think about it !! I actually live in a third world country, so I am very aware of this, but it's true that I tend to forget it. Thanks for the motivation !
Thank you very much for this
wow !
I haven’t even watched the video but tbh this is all i needed to get myself to go study.
When you are supposed to be studying but you're wasting time on CZcams and then you find this in your recommendations...
Thats accurate af
Same
That's me
Same 😁😁
Same here
Step 1: stop watching this video and go study
Brain is saying nooo ahhhh can’t stop now I have wasted 9 more minutes and am probably going to fail my test tomorrow
Bold of you to assume that I have the motivation to even watch this video
step 2:Stop commenting just study
@@ayezahassan5959 you stalking me tho
I c a n t
3:45: The irony is so good when he was talking about using "and" instead of "but" while saying "but". I love this
The language one is so true. If I start to say "I'm gonna try to get an A" I always immediately correct myself by saying "I WILL get an A" as in, I WILL do the work required to get an A, not just try. Saying you're just gonna "try" leaves the door open for failure to accomplish the task.
Also, coming from a philosophical perspective, you use/need language to interpret/organize reality. There is always a bias, and you decide what that bias is whether consciously or un-. So why not use it to your advantage?
Who else is supposed to be studying right now, but this video came in their recommended?
haha me, but I'm going to start studying now.
Basically everyone in the comments, I can tell you that for free. Including me.
Ugh now I don't feeling study
When u go through comments and think” I should have written that!”
@Skylar Sword xD
no I go through the comments and think “wth am I doing I should be studying rn instead of wasting time but I still can’t”

I guess yall never had to learn literally 150 pages of biology and 50 of fucking physics for tomorrow.
I saved all these videos for the semester coming this fall, I'm finally a college junior (which sadly took me 4 years cause I switched from nursing to pre-med) so if you see a bunch of comments randomly. I'm sorry. You do help me a whole lot during the last semester, my average went up a couple of points but I'm going to get ahead of the game by prepping for the fall right now.
woah. that’s a lot of studying! i guess commitment is key in the field of medicine.
Who else thinks I’m so hot funny talented etc,
Game changing advice
You know this is a viable tip if it wasn't for the monetary and data loss
Thanks man.
That was v helpful thanks *goes back to watching*
Will definitely work!
This video is gold. One issue I have with tracking everything I’m doing in a day is that I get anxious when I’m not being productive. I guess that’s another problem to address.
And u feel even worse when u fail, it's like i feel like i failed because of those days i was unproductive in
Adnan A where ever I go I see your comment.👀
william james yeah :(
Violent Rosè Haha, hi!
@@Bella-ns1bc exactly wat i was thiking
That ‘something bad’ tip is actually great
God bless u man, i have a BIG exam in a few months. Honestly one of the most important pieces of advice I've gotten in a while.
Could you please do a video showing how to get out of burnout? How to recognize the early stages, how to avoid it, and what to actually do once you’re deep in it? I’m finding it hard to deal with all the disenchantment and apathy rn, and feel like I’m getting sucked into something that will ruin who I am and all the hard work I put in before.
I have been suffering over the past year or so from not being able to study home, the only way I can bring myself to studying is by going to a public library or the university’s library, which makes things much more difficult to deal with, because if I don’t feel like going out on some days, I already know that I’m not going to be able to study anything that day.
If I’m home, I will not study, doesn’t matter even if my exam or quiz is tomorrow..
I have not seen anyone suffering from this problem so far which makes it even worse for me..
Dude I am the same. My uni is close to home though.
I do the same thing!!!!!!!!!! Have to get out of house
Been there done that. You just got to ask yourself why do you have to study what are the rewards and consequences if I study and if I dont study, then u think abt ur dreams and goals. Remember this "laziness is an negative action you are not lazy you are doing lazy, so make urself do the opposite positive action productivity". Last thing whenever u have to do something important right when you think about it just do it. Follow the 80/20 principle. Hope that helps good luck and keep striving never ever quit.
The video still applies, you just have a different barrier to studying. A way to make it easier to get out the door could be to just put on your shoes or pack your back. It's easy to do, and you'll 100% feel stupid putting on your shoes for no reason. Tell your family/friend(s) you're going to study; way easier than actually going, but now you just told someone else you were planning to go, so you'll (sorta) have to ;). Just an idea, you'll always be the one who knows best.
Pray work hard and pray again.
You're literally solving my problems. And making me more confident.
Thankful to you 💯
"Do the difficult tasks first". I'm studying for my last exams ever. I have no other options 😂
the "so what" method actually helped a lot with my attendance for school. i used to not want to get up and just lie to my mom about being sick, but in the morning i started saying "well, i don't wanna get up..." and then get up regardless after telling myself "oh well"
Systems deliver results. Amen to that!
I can never get bored of watching these videos. Thank you so much for making these.

And 21 seconds later, I'm like, maybe I'll watch this after I go make myself a cup of coffee, or maybe play couple of songs that I'm forgetting the lyrics to.

This actually helped me. I've been having so much problems trying to start studying and after watching this video I finally got started on it. I've tried making schedule, getting rid of all electronics and even asking for advice from other people and none of it works.
Thx you soooooooo...... Much for your help.
If I was your brother, I'd be doing everything for you, so the only thing you'd have to concentrate on, is to study!
1. Systems produce results
2. Meditation + Journal
3. Say so what? Replace but with and
4. Lower AE: make it very small, Pomodoro, lower expectations
5. Add spice vary it up
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for teaching your systematic approach to productivity.
Something else that works for me I saw somewhere is that if you’re procrastinating count to 2 then you have to get up and do whatever it is you were delaying
I can't thank you enough for introducing me to The Pomodoro Technique!!! I was so exhausted with my studying methods that I started dreading the moments when I had to study. Then I saw your video & started using it. Now a days I get even excited to study because I can see in the apps how many hours I studied or focused on smth. The higher the number gets, I feel more confident. And it really helps!! So thank you Dr. Jay!!!! Stay Wild.
Which app? :)
@@looksschoolofficial A good app I personally use is Forest. It lets you set a timer depending on how long you want to study for, and as the timer goes, there is a tree growing on the screen. If you quit the app to use your phone, or if you stop the timer, the tree dies. Then there is a feature that lets you see how long you've studied for during the day, the week, the month, and even the year. You can see at what times you studied, for how long, etc. Very good app that I 100% recommend !
Instructions unclear, ended up falling asleep
Nothing to say just thank you so much.
