As usual, leave a comment below and I'll reply - I hope the video helps!
This is so true, today instead of studying i wasted time and when i got back to studies i felt i am just running away from pressure of my exams .
Doing at least something is always better than doing nothing - hope you can get back to it! Good luck for your exams :)

Can u reply to my comment which I made on memorizing facts video
🥲
Maybe the most concise video on procrastination i've watched, very fast but quite clear explanation of why it happens, then you packed it with sound advice. Thanks!
Ahaha I try my best to keep it to the point! I'm glad you liked it, and i hope it helps 🙌🏽
After watching your videos frequently ..Setting the timer while studying became a new habit for me😊...And it's helpful to get rid of deviation...Thanks!
Please try to make a video on how to overcome the fear of failure....
Thanks, brother!
Good to see you bro, hope you've been well! I hope the video helps!
AssalamAllaykum! Thank you again for an awesome vid! I have a problem with phone/CZcams addiction because I do a lot of productive stuff on my phone but then that leads to me wasting a lot of time on it as well. For example, I have Fajr Prayer at 3am where I live and I used to wake up consistently for it by using my phone alarms. But then I started staying up late watching CZcams after putting my alarm. When I started charging my phone in a different room I ended up either going to get my phone later or just making an excuse to keep the phone in my room. This is just an example but idk if you have a video or any tips about this?
Nice bro! Keep up the good work! Btw what is your background music? Sound very relaxing 💪
Appreciate it, and I hope the video helps 🙌🏽 the music is linked in the description - it's all by Lukrembo 💯
Hey Salim, thank you for the study tips as usual. I have a suggestion, can you paste the link of the video at the end in the description box. It would help a lot. Best of luck for the exams!!
Appreciate the support, and i hope the video helps 🙌🏽 will do that soon!

@@Salim_Ahmed. bro can u reply to my comment in memorizing facts video
Can you make a video on how you became lean
This is deffo a video coming in the next few months, so hope you stick around for then!
Best of luck on the med school exam! I’m studying for a selective entry exam for a school I want to get into and it’s coming up in only 25 days. I can’t focus on my topics for a long time, and I feel like I’m not absorbing the information I am studying. I have watched most of your recent videos covering this topic, but still can’t find the answer I’m looking for, although you provide excellent tips that are definitely worth watching.
Is there anything I can do to improve my focus even more? Thanks for the great explanations as always.
Thank you! If you can't focus for long, maybe it might help to actively set a timer every so often to remind yourself of what you just went through - so maybe every 15mins asking yourself ok what did i just do the past 15mins etc. This might break focus a bit, but it could help with remembering and realigning yourself with what you should be doing!
@@Salim_Ahmed Thanks Salim! Will let you know how I go.
I can't concentrate on things...way too much addicted to phone...how to overcome it
Watch this video 😅😂 and i have a playlist with videos on focus, discipline, and motivation if that might help! Here's the video on discipline to start with czcams.com/video/pg2I6oRekDU/video.html
Just put your phone away. Will power increases with discipline.
This for sure is one of the ways! But many still get distracted / lose focus even in the absence of their phones unfortunately.
Definitely do agree with this though, especially will power increasing with discipline (which i mention as part of a point in the discipline video ahaha)
Can u make a video on how to manage time?
Already have a video on this ahaha czcams.com/video/RUAAOi7Z9dA/video.html - i hope it helps!
Brother I'm not consistent some days I study like 7 to 8 hrs but the next day I'm just wasting the whole day pls make a video on consistency
Can u make video on how to absorb everything taught in lecture 😊
Will make a video on something like this in future - hope you stick around for then!

@@Salim_Ahmed can u make a short video on some tips to get a good grades in board exam when u haven't enough time to cover up ur syllabus but ur exm is knocking at your door?
For me the most resistance is in the middle of the task so, because I hate studying, the 5 min rule and other things like minimising friction aren’t very helpful
Yep I agree as I mentioned in the video, the 5 min rule isn't great as it feels a bit gimmicky!
What makes you find it hard to focus in the middle of a task, though? So it's not hard/as hard for you to initiate a task as it is to keep it going?
@@Salim_Ahmed yup. For me the hard part is to keep going bcuz I rly don’t like it at all. So “just starting” for a few minutes is easier. But u can’t get much done with just that 😅😅 and thank u for answering sir
whats meant by procrastination
Within 1and a half hour i have my annual paper
Hope it went alright!
Wait this actually helps a lot cause i procrastinate quite a lot. Thank you for such an amazing videos 🫀
You're welcome! I hope it helps!
