I've also never used study plans. Sometimes when studying in the library with my friends and it got late, I told them I'm going home and ask when they are leaving - and their answer would always be "I still have x things on my to-do list". I just can't do that. I will always prioritize my sleep, and I absolutely can't study when I'm tired, hungry, or just drained from already studying all day.
The CZcams trend of work/study efficiency and optimisation is so popular. I am a fan of work smarter not harder myself, however…you can have the most efficient study plan but FAIL🤦♀️ there is no way of cutting corners because one [aka student] still needs studying! Sleep and stu-dy! I chose routine over schedule for some reason. I hate being inflexible, therefore I go with a flow. But boy oh boy do I study when I am in the zone🥵 per aspera ad astra dear colleagues of academia!✨✨✨
Right if I can't see ahead in time whats the point of scheduling I would be spending to much time in the past and not the future
Ad maiora 💪
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
01:10 🐌 *The video criticizes the rigidity of study plans, comparing them to a snail's slow and inflexible movement.*
02:31 🎯 *Study plans often neglect the variability in topic difficulty and the importance of focusing on high-yield subjects.*
03:29 😓 *The guilt associated with not adhering to a rigid schedule can be counterproductive, especially on days when one feels burnt out or unwell.*
04:08 🌈 *The video critiques the obsession with creating color-coded plans, emphasizing that the time spent on elaborate plans often exceeds the time spent on actual productive activities.*
05:43 🥦 *The video advocates for quality over quantity, discouraging the mindset of prioritizing thesheer volume of study hours.*
07:08 📅 *Instead of a detailed study plan, the speaker recommends setting goals, assessing weaknesses, and planning daily based on individual needs and feelings.*
09:55 🔄 *Daily planning rituals, lasting about 5 minutes, provide flexibility, incorporate weaknesses, and give a sense of accomplishment through small, achievable tasks.*
11:22 🌟 *The importance of incorporating moments of joy, encouragement, and rewards in the study routine to prevent burnout and enhance motivation.*
Made with HARPA AI
in brief:
The video discusses the drawbacks of traditional study plans and introduces an alternative approach to studying.
1. **Introduction**:
- Faye shares her personal experience of not making a study plan since entering medical school. Despite initial academic setbacks, she passed all her exams and secured her top choice for her first job as a doctor. She suggests that making a study plan might be counterproductive.
2. **Reasons Against Traditional Study Plans**:
- **The Worm vs. The Snail**: Traditional study plans are rigid like a snail's shell, whereas studying should be flexible like a worm. Different topics require varying amounts of time, and some topics might need revisiting.
- **Color-coded Plans**: Faye used to spend a lot of time creating detailed, color-coded study plans but never stuck to them. This not only wasted her time but also added stress.
- **Brussels Sprouts vs. Lindor Analogy**: This analogy emphasizes quality over quantity. Spending more hours studying doesn't necessarily yield better results. Focused, quality study sessions are more effective.
3. **The Anti-Study Plan Method**:
- Instead of a long-term study plan, Faye starts her exam season by setting goals, identifying weaknesses from previous exams, and setting targets.
- Every morning, she plans her day in half-hour slots, adjusting based on her performance the previous day and her current feelings.
- She emphasizes the importance of "batching tasks" to improve efficiency and reduce the mental cost of switching between tasks.
- Faye finds motivation in checking off tasks from her daily schedule, giving her a sense of accomplishment.
4. **Conclusion**:
- Faye believes in giving oneself moments of joy and satisfaction during the study process. Constant pressure can lead to burnout, so it's essential to find ways to stay motivated and encouraged.
This video provides an alternative perspective on studying, emphasizing flexibility, quality, and self-awareness over rigid planning.

Just replying so I can come back when I start college in some months.
Wow I love this… I literally would plan out everything, colour coat everything and felt this immense imposter syndrome in my med school for not completing it, and by exams I give up. This is what I needed. I was told if I accept that I would never completely be caught up with school work because we will always have something to learn, always something to read.. don’t feel guilty for having a life balance and it’s okay to have a break like meeting up with a friend or watching an episode of your favourite show - take care of yourself. ✨💅💖
This is EXACTLY the things I needed to hear right now. I've just started med and feeling swamped but cautious that I've gone back to my old mindset of having to want to get EVERYTHING done, and more. What you "used" to do is exactly what I'm doing now- so thank you for saying everything you did. You didn't do it in a "tough love", patronising way, and for that, I am so super thankful. I already feel bad enough for not getting everything done, and I cannot relate more to the emotions. I felt drained today after placement and just wanted to do nothing- instead I have literally procrastinated the last 6 hours. It feels scary as making these plans has been a comfort of mine, but I've never, ever stuck to them. I'm quite a spontaneous person and love doing things with the flow of life but I want to stay focused. Starting your more chilled technique now. I'd love to know how you did your flashcards? Anki is super confusing at the moment and you passed all of your exams so would be amazing to hear what you did xxx thank you for this video. Exactly what I've been needing-exactly!
Faye, you are just like a warm hug I just needed. You just get a lot of people and you’re good at it. I hope I was more self-aware like you are. ❤❤❤
Thank you for this, Faye! I feel so seen and this is one scheduling video that I can relate to🖤
I love this Faye! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts on the topic. I've been in university for 7 years now and I have often felt like a failure even when my marks are good. I have recently been realizing that I'm the one setting myself up to feel that way by making study goals that are unattainable and obviously not achieving them. Its wild how we can do that to ourselves. Because I was setting myself up to miss my goals everyday I never felt like I could relax because I always thought there was still work to do, so I would spend the entire day poorly doing so many things. It is truly miserable, and the highway to burnout. I am trying to find ways around this and this video is very encouraging, thanks!
Her Editing is so Amazing and wholesome ❤ such hardwork wow... Ahhh more the reasons to love her
This is the video I never knew I needed. Ive watched tons and tons of videos about study methods, but nothing worked for me. Im in 8th grade right now and am aming to be at the top of my class. Last year I thought I was simply content with having high grades, but recently I've been wanting to achieve a better version of myself. Of course, If I dont achieve it, it's okay. I wont beat myself up and I'll simply celebrate how my hard work has paid off.
I love your videos 💕 I think I may have ADHD but not technically diagnosed. I’m in nursing school and sometimes I procrastinate studying to the day before an exam or I get easily distracted while studying and it ends up being a whole day or just overwhelmed. And omg this couldn’t have come at a better time, I’m ready for a change so thank you so much. 📅❌
I'm self studying computer science while still working a full time job and I keep finding these successful people who create colour-coded study plans that work for them and kept creating them for myself and then failing at following them. THIS IS EXACTLY THE VIDEO I NEEDED TO WATCH!!! Thanks so so so much for sharing your experience and expertise on the subject!!! Big hugs from Canada!!🤗
Missed your videos on CZcams Faye and thank you for this one because my dental school mid terms are coming up and I was starting to stress about how I'll be managing my time 📅❌
I used to watch a lot like a lot of medical student vlogs as to see what my future would look like and I have stopped watching them altogether minus your videos! I get notified the minute you post and will typically watch it that day. You're doing great Faye! 📅❌
Such an amazing video! All the things are well-explained and practical, the editing is perfect. Thank you Faye!
The readings and the anki cards never end. And yet I can't stay focused. I needed this.
Great video. My new year's resolution is to pick up and be consistent with some simple but impactful habits and this planning method seems perfect for working through my dissertation. Thank you!
Wow this is insane. I’m in the exact same boat as you were and i relate to all of this. Thank you so much ❤
I'm in love with her content from now on ❤
Thank you !!! Im struggling so much right now and this actually made real sense and i related to it so much. Seriously thank you
super helpful! I had something similar in 4th year finals season- a calender above my desk which I'd cross out every day when I completed my 100 questions and it just made the dopamine hit a daily one so I wanted to do more work the next day
Now, I knew what's wrong with my study plan even that I plan a day by day,
I've never put a deadline to my task !
I have the tasks on my hand needs to be done but its procrastinated
From now on I'll try this (my midterm exams start tomorrow wish me luck)
Thank you Faye ❤❤❤
I really needed this . I’ve always found that study plans never work for me but i kept trying
I can't possibly explain how real this is. ❤
Thank you! I‘m in my 3rd year of med school and I wish I‘d have seen this earlier! My mom always pressured me into „having to study all night and day“ 😮💨
Brilliant video, Faye! Congrats. Great title! -just subscribed. Greetings to the UK!
you are so inspiring! will definitely start implementing these tips!!
Thanks for sharing your experiences :) Your voice is very relaxing btw
This is exactly what Im trying to say. We are all diffrent and our mood depends on every little thing. We cannot have the same routine everyday cause we dont have the same mood everyday too. Its up to us to decide how we want our day to go. I believe in myself and in all of you, we are gonna get throught this💖
This is so encouraging and heartwarming… ❤
Real about the "how you're feeling on that day". I knew it was gonna be a good video.
I can just watch her all day 🥺❤
Love these kinds of videos
Beautiful video ❤
I am starting my last year of school next year (I'm in Australia so we start the school year in Jan) so this has been so helpful to me. I really want to aim to do the best I possibly can next year, so I get a high enough grade to get into University. But, my current 'system' just doesn't work. I have exams coming up in a week so I'm going to try this out and see how this works compared to last week, thank you so so much!
Semi-unrelated but as a current student, apply for every early offer possible (applications open around May). You'd be surprised by how freely a lot of Universities offer them, and it relieves a lot of pressure going into trials and the HSC/ whatever version your State uses! (This includes more prestigious /competitive Universities!)
You sound like you have solid plans/goals in place though, and I wish you all the best with your final year:)
@@yeehawtexasfanpagewait could you do this if you want to go to med school as well?
@@Postmanpigeon7339 I'm not sure, however I know that med is really competitive so it's unlikely. Depending on your state you would have to find out through the universities website.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help:)
@@yeehawtexasfanpage No it's all good. Thank you for your help!!
Thank you so much for the video, it’s so helpfullll😭
Thank you for this Faye! ❤
As a survivor of neglect don't expect myself to be able to do all of those hard things but you make it seem almost doable when i reach 20y tysm
the way this came at just the right time.
Love your videos Faye! Will we have a vlog soon?
First!!! Can’t wait to watch the video!
Thank you so much for this ❤

📆 ❌ love all your videos Faye!
thank you for this video, it is beneficial and motivating. it is really what I have been looking for. god bless you.
When I did my A-levels I had a 4 month plan. Yes, 4 months. Basically it was more of a revision plan than a study plan because I had previously learned all the topics for my exams. Thus I knew how much time I roughly needed to revise each topic. I also had no particular order so I would’ve been able to switch certain days. On each day, I went over my notes to refresh my memory and I did my flashcards. This took me roughly 10-60 minutes a day, some topics being short and easy, other ones basically left my memory completely or were hard to understand the first time. I believe I also was able to take the weekends off so that’s why my plan was 4 months long. In the end it was a super chill revision and I was able to get the marks I needed to be accepted into med school.
not the best way
@@user-vm4vg7je5h I was top of my year, it was absolutely the best way to
@@user-vm4vg7je5h weird my reply doesn’t show up, so I’m just gonna type it again. I was top of my year so it definitely was the best way…
thank you for this ❤
thank you so much 😭😭😭😭
I love you ❤️
You just got a new subscriber❤
That’s true every can be a genius. We as a “simple” people just need discipline and good schedule.
📅❌ appreciate this!!
Thank youu💗
I loove this so much❤
I noticed you hand write your planner and I’ve tried Google calendar for planning and I think it has its place for certain things like appointments, etc. but I love the feeling of physically having something written down that I can cross off. I think I am more likely to do something if it’s physically written down as well
I feel like, if you don't mind spending 4 to 5 hours rote memorizing to an extent with summary notes and rereading, it's great!
It works for everyone I know!
Honestly, I just clicked on this video because I wanted to hear someone else shitting on schedules. I'm not dissapointed and on top of that, I got some new tips ❤
What if i don't have any weaknesses from last exam season? I jumped from Biology, Chemistry and Physics to Anatomy, Histology, Physiology. I was not prepared for this overload of information and how broad and far reaching the syllabus was
📆❌ love you vid. it really helped me 😘😘🥳 THANK YOU
This was a good video 📆❌ Thank you.
study schedules don't work for me...I just find time in the day to do it as I go along.
hey faye, its been a while since i watched your videos.Everything u mentioned here,i found it damn relatable🙃 lots of luv for uuu
thankyou baby .i love you✨
Hey maybe some of us like Brussel sprouts AND struggle with studying…
Thank u ❤
❤❤❤. I love your vids
Totally agree!
Is there a video on how you make your flash cards or on how to actually study? I’ve never actually known HOW I’m suppose to study when there’s so much material for each class, like how do I know whats important and what I need to remember
Flash cards should be straight to the point with no extra “fluff” so only the key points. I write key words and definitions, and any other important info (e.g. names, dates, stats) but keep it in note form. Colour coding is great to easily pick out what you’re looking for. Then when it comes to actually revising them, I categorise them based on confidence so have one pile of what I know really well, a pile I’m not so sure on, and a pile I don’t know at all. Practice them until they’ve all moved into the know really well pile
I don’t know what you’re talking about, making study plans has saved me
Not only that, she makes study plans, just daily instead of monthly. Clickbait-y video.
📆❌ thank you sm for the video
Show us few examples of your flashcards please!
If I plan on a daily basis, how would I know when to even start stuyding for the next exam season? Sure you *should* technically study throughout the entire semester but I simply don't. Without a six week plan though, I will not do enough because I tend to overestimate what I get done in one day.
Where were you when I was doing my A-levels?? OMG
how do you sit for so long with adhd even when just time blocking 30 min sessions?
what are those fonts she used?
How do we know whch topics are high yield?
Anytime i try to study, i feel so stupid that i am almost brought to tears
😭😭I hear this so much. Try looking at past papers and note down what topics you see every time. For pharmacy at my uni diabetes, cardiology and sexual health are some of the common ones.
It's okay to cry💙I was crying because I am not good at problem solving in maths. Let it out. Take a deep breathe and remember the truth. You are not dumb. You just don't understand the subject YET.
High yielding subjects as far as I understand are main topics/concepts/keywords x
Don't give up!!!!
are all study geniuses named faye or smth bc her and fayefilms have saved my grades 😭😭
Would you ever share your flash cards?
you should really organize those advises cause i got lost in there for a min
Great video 📅 ❌
Maybe you're right your thought
I agree
How can I figure out which topics are high yield?
😵💫 valid question
📆
perfect for the ADHDers ty
📆 ❌
btw this is the best study video I have ever found
Am too lazy to watch this but am subscribbing
I am in second year medical school. How do i study for anatomy, embryology, histology, physiology and others in a smart way rather than a hard way? Cause that's what all my course mates are doing. They all brag about studying for 10 hours, 15 hours and so on? I prefer to study smart rather than hard.
I would so happy if you answered cause I know you've gone through it all already
There are lots of study strategies you can use to make studying easier, things like pomodoro, using question banks, flashcards. I personally love flashcards because I'm lazy af lol. Med school is definitely hard in the beginning but it will get easier when you work out what study techniques work best for you 😊
My unpolupar opinion is that you can either choose study easy and long or hard and short. "Smart study" takes less time daily but more focus and more consistency over a long time. Look into spaced repetition, active recall and RemNote (like Anki but better imho) for topics that are mostly about memorizing facts.

Just finished the video. These tips were very helpful and I’m sure I’m going to start implementing them because I’m in the middle of my exams. I really loved the analogies, they helped a lot to visualise and understand what you were talking about in bite-size chunks. Classic Faye W! Thank you so so much! 📅❌

📆❌ Really great video ☺️. I'm always behind my studyplan. I need to try this instead.
I think the music is a little bit too loud. Maybe it is just me because it isn't my mother tounge, but it was sometimes difficult to follow your words.
