appreciate it
Thanks 😊💗
The background "music" is extremely distracting and irritating. I can't watch this
@@Vermontist1 bro you should really stop watching tiktok and build your attention span
I‘m finally starting university after working for three years after high school. I used to watch these types of videos and get really overwhelmed but now I finally feel like I‘m ready and get excited thinking of what I‘m about to learn. Thank you for sharing your tips, i will definitely use them💓
Hey, I hope you're doing well in school right now. It's really admirable that you've worked hard prior to enrolling, and I'm glad you're in school now!
I love your accent. I wish I would study at Cambridge one day.
Izzy has a POSh accent
You gotta have the grade dude
Me too! 😊
Early lovely tone and accent
Stop hitting on my girlfriend
Make learning as fun as possible. As a former medical student, I used totally other techniques for learning. Taking multiple breaks when brain gives signal to do so ( not a clock), breaks for music listening, breaks walking out in nature etc.. Reward your brain with these breaks. Follow what works for you.
OMG, I really love your sharing.
Love watching your videos. This video brings back memories of my time at Cambridge studying Computer Science.
I have long been a fan of the idea that learning is boosted by genuine interest for a subject, and that having fun is a far more effective way of obtaining and absorbing information, compared to when you're bored. Personally, although perhaps slightly controversial, I've never found long, plain text particularly intriguing, and traditional textbook education is therefore not necessarily optimal. For that same reason, I am happy to see how new technological developments are introducing more and more interactive means of learning. Soon, in this new era of digital platforms and AI, I have a feeling education overall is going to be more interactive than ever before. Now, I am not saying it's going to make everyone want to learn everything, but I do believe it has the potential to take away the general perception that "school is boring" which I think is one of the biggest demotivating factors of learning in general.
Also, I find the idea of stopping a task when you see the next move rather fascinating, and a practice I haven't quite considered before. It might be something worth testing.
I'm impressed by your dedication. This video is a game-changer for anyone looking to enhance their study skills. 🤩❤
Your CZcams channel is absolutely amazing! The content you create is both entertaining and informative,The production quality, creativity, and passion you put into your videos are evident in every frame. keeping me hooked with every video. Keep up the fantastic work, you're doing a fantastic job! 😊👍
Wow my favorite person on the earth coming back again.
Thanks for bringing this lesson for us.
Glad to see you again.
Thanks a bunch for sharing
I will see you next time. Have a good one ❤👍
You just helped me so much! I'm a freshman and struggle about how to get a structure in my learning routine and how to make it more effective. This video is so, so, so, so helpful! Thank you very much!
Thank you Izzy, I have used some of your suggestions, and they really work. I would highly recommend you suggestions as they are very effective.
You don't know how thankful I am that you put a period (.) after Dr. 😭 Thank you for another great video, Dr. Izzy! The constant uploads make me happy 🎉
Habit #1 is the idea behind study with me videos. Those can be a useful and effective alternative as well. Or indirect coworking such as going somewhere other people (you don't personally know) are prone to working, such as a library or cafe.
Thanks for this!!
Thank you. I hope this works for my teenage son in high school. 😊
You'll be crossing the 500k subscriber mark soon. Keep going Izzy.
Fun video! Would love to hear your opinion on generating interest in boring subjects
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Izzy Sealey!
I always love to listen to your story. keep on sharing.
Thanks for your nice sharing. I love your tip about when to rest. When you know how to resume your work, it is an excellent time to take a break. I will try this suggestion.
I tried to use the interstitial journaling method to remind my current progress in the study or work when I was going to take a break, which can be a hint for restarting my work.
I've heard the Pomodoro technique explained dozens of time and this is easily the best, and most thorough, explanation! (Outside the book 😅)
Great video!!
I’m also the medical student in China right now, I think I really excited to watch your video , and more method to manage time, nice ❤
Whenever I get the notification you have a new video, I get that big smile on my face and I actually don't know why. lol 😄. have a great day, DR. Sealey.
New subbie here! I'm in my first year of my PhD study and this video sums up all the habits that I need to develop! Also, I like the room!! 💜
congrats Doc. perfect job!
I’m intrigued by the book Rest and am going to try it out. This was very helpful, thank you!
It's very difficult to get a place at Cambridge, especially medicine. You must have done brilliantly for your A levels or IB. CONGRATS.
Izzy is Asian
IRS a no brainer

Hi, thanks for sharing some study techniques! Not only do you give good health advice but also good study advice too! I’m an older adult looking to finish my college degree which I haven’t when I was younger. Do you have any good advice? Keep up the great informative videos!😊
Hi Izzy! Your content is really helpful and enjoyable to watch❤ I live and study outside of the UK. I enjoy studying medicine but now I'm reaching my last year of medicine where I'll have internships and clinical rotations. I'm very nervous about it. Especially after toxic experiences in the hospitals during my summer internships. Could you make a video on how to deal with this and how to deal with burnout as a working doctor? I've watched the video you made on your experience but perhaps you could give us an update 😊
So interesting and thank you for the tips
Hi Liz! Love you and your videos. Can u do a video on writing personal statements for university applications? Thank you
Thank you Dr lzzy.
im wondering izzy that you could do a podcast because i love your accent. and i want to learn from that through natural conversations.😁🙏
您的视频，一如既往的真诚且有价值，感谢分享，继续加油～
Very effective tips
YOU ARE SO APPEALING!
Thank for sharing
Thanks for your fancy video ,Love you!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I know I have to work hard for a better future but the knowledge that working hard doesn't guarantee a better future and I won't know until I get there takes all the motivation to study out of me... I will try my best to follow these tho! Love your videos ❤❤
Yes you are right
You are DOOMED to a very endless
series or repeating failure
Until tou die
Sorry
@@stevebelzer4758at the same time, without a some losses and effort, there is no great tasting victory 🏆! might as well give as much as we can so we can get the rewarding future we deserve:) if we put no effort, we'll never know our true potential
Not working at all will certainly ensure you’ll not reach your goals though
@@AQBPlays exactly
I’m soooo addicted to you ❤ peace out ✌️
It is a good advise👏
Pomodoros and the 80/20 rule have both been helpful to me.
I once knew a girl whose smile was just like you. She kinda lighten up the mood every time she was by my side. And she was smart just like you.
Exactly, don't work harder, work smarter
Enthusiasm is a strong key to make dreams come true
Very interesting ❤I love your accent ❤
IRS POSH Asian
I know you are good in studies ,you are morally good too. You are living your cool and disciplined life that is most good .🌷✨✨✨✨
As a future doctor myself I understand how challenging it can be to effectively manage our time. I can across your videos through Ali Abdaal (the productivity expert 😂) and honestly I’m really impressed I think this is great advice. Thank you !
7 Life-Changing Study Techniques from 7 Years at Cambridge University. The video is engaging and grips the viewer from start to finish. Watched the video on Aug 13, 2023 very like. Thank you
love you izzy🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍❤❤❤
me too!!!
I love this video
There is a saying" sophisticated summary (which is less) > complicated un-organised details(which is more)", well that is 2 words more than "less is more", the point is readers could understand "sophisticated summary" better than less, less may be the result.
Hi great to have landed in your page sharing your experiences...
Love your accent ❤
I love ❣️😘 your character ❤
hi, izzy Could you explain how you structured your "NOTION" for the next video? because I want to make a "NOTION" but am confused about how to start.
Awesome🤟

Hello and Congratulations! I am curious on what specialty you plan to apply for residency? Good luck!
Hi Dr. Izzy is it advisable to finish Mandarin 1-7 first before starting Cantonese 1? Im at Mandarin 3 now. Thanks for the advice.
4 to 6 am. I read in morning I read three books at same time. I work from 6am to 4pm. Then, 6 to 8 pm read again Well, still learning. Downey California ❤❤
You heard it hear from a Cambridge university graduate and doctor that working less is beneficial. Thx Dr. Izzy. I will use this in my argumentative essay
You didnt get It
Is about working smarter
You still have to do the work😂😂
As soon as I graduate from Nursing. I want to work with you. You look so prettttyyyyy 😍
Awesome, beautiful, inspiring woman! 🎉

You are a pro in catching audience attention😀you just killed the algorithim
She KILLED AI
I'd like to see how you approached the boring subjects
Very good
At 10:17 I can see Gray's Anatomy but I am not able to read the three other books. What are those books? Could you please attached links in comments to it and a description of them and from where is possible to buy or download them? Thank you. Have a great day 😃🌞👍❤️
Quick note on habit 6: in order to implement diversity (and therefore productivity) into your day, you can also set a main goal for the following topics: work, relationships and health or sports. (Source: Ali Abdaal)
I really love your accent 😍 and I need your help to improve my English language
Yeah I have heard of Pareto charts vs Pareto principle, probably linked?
We would like to get a vlog from you how you spend your weekends or what you eat yoga etc.....
I love the way you are. Very smart and beautiful 😍
good video
help a lot
คุณรู้จัก ผลไม้ ที่ชื่อ. มะยม . มั้ย ครับ
Pls mam give a makeup tutorial of your signature look😢
As a US military pilot , and American Airlines 767 captain - this required a LOT air continuous study
I AGREE in learning , a study partner is critical
5:30 I Found Playing Westlife Songs From "Coast To Coast" In The Background While Attempting To Figure Out A Way To Pass A Subject That You Know The Examiner Doesn't Know Well Helps Save Energy. Unfortunately I Came Up With The Plan To Use Learnings From Megadeth Songs As Fillers In Exam Answers That Kept The Examiner Motivated & In A Good Mood. The Song Went Like "Heads & Win, Tails You Lose, Out Of My Way, I Am Coming Through" - And Escaped A Hospital Populated (In Spirit) With More Corona Virus Fans Than Patients
AFAIK 08:22 I Found That Seeking Salvation w/ The Guidance Of Artists "Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven" And I Loved Both and "Megadeth - Breadline" & "Bon Jovi - It's My Life" Was A Realistic Escape.
How I always make happy in any condition like you please Doc
