00:00:00
so you've gone through school without
00:00:01
needing to study and now things are
00:00:04
getting tougher and now that things are
00:00:05
tougher you don't know what to do you
00:00:08
don't know what study routine you should
00:00:09
do you don't know what apps or tools to
00:00:12
use you don't even know which study
00:00:13
methods work for you and since you
00:00:16
didn't really have to study hard in
00:00:17
school you don't really know what you're
00:00:20
doing now and you don't really know what
00:00:22
you need to do to study well don't worry
00:00:24
you're not cooked yet because in this
00:00:26
video I will literally teach you
00:00:27
everything on how to study so before we
00:00:30
study on how to actually study first you
00:00:33
will need a structure now a structure
00:00:36
essentially allows you to have a
00:00:37
reliable system for you to follow
00:00:39
whenever you're studying and the problem
00:00:41
with people who never actually needed to
00:00:44
study in their school is that they've
00:00:46
never really built the study routine or
00:00:49
the system throughout their school so if
00:00:51
you're watching this then first of all
00:00:53
good job and congratulations you
00:00:55
watching this means that you want to
00:00:57
take studying seriously and that you are
00:00:59
not going to be relying on your stock
00:01:01
knowledge and you will start building
00:01:03
your study routine and practicing it so
00:01:07
how do we start locking in how do we
00:01:10
build our structure now I'm going to be
00:01:12
honest I know that you're watching this
00:01:14
right now because you are motivated to
00:01:16
lock in for school which is good any
00:01:18
source of motivation is good but I'm
00:01:20
going to splash some truth serum on you
00:01:23
this short-lived boost of motivation is
00:01:26
less reliable than the toilets in the
00:01:28
public gas stations it's just not
00:01:30
reliable if you really want to take this
00:01:32
seriously then you will have to start
00:01:33
with the why why are you doing this to
00:01:36
yourself starting with a simple why will
00:01:40
get you a base Foundation to why you
00:01:42
want to move forward with this trust me
00:01:44
if you do want to lock in with school
00:01:46
motivation is just not enough and it
00:01:48
doesn't mean that you get the same free
00:01:51
time that you had so once you found your
00:01:53
reason why then it's going to be just
00:01:55
straight up discipline at this point you
00:01:57
will have to start having the discipline
00:01:59
to set time every day to study to
00:02:01
dedicate some of your energy for the day
00:02:03
to build your study habit I don't want
00:02:05
to sound like your typical self-help
00:02:07
motivational grw but if you don't have a
00:02:09
drive and discipline for this then don't
00:02:12
even bother if you really want to lock
00:02:14
in for school you will really have to
00:02:17
sacrifice a few things first before
00:02:19
getting your footing onto this whole
00:02:20
setting system now note that I'm not
00:02:22
talking about giving up the things you
00:02:23
like doing for an eternity of course for
00:02:26
a sustainable solution I still enjoy the
00:02:28
things I like doing and it's important
00:02:30
that since we're playing the long game
00:02:32
you we should not give up the things we
00:02:33
like however since we're talking about
00:02:35
changing our behavior for us to be more
00:02:37
studious then absolutely prepare for a
00:02:39
bit of change in lifestyle that doesn't
00:02:41
necessarily mean to be a bad thing but
00:02:44
just prepare for change so once you
00:02:46
accepted the fact that there will be
00:02:47
changes in your lifestyle and that you
00:02:49
will need to have drive and grit it's
00:02:52
time to move on to the first actionable
00:02:54
step now this is probably the most
00:02:57
effective way to lock in no we are not
00:02:59
talking talking about being super driven
00:03:01
or being super motivated while yes it's
00:03:03
important building an action system is
00:03:06
way more consistent and that we can
00:03:08
follow every day for us to achieve our
00:03:10
goals if you guys are even somewhat into
00:03:12
self-help videos then you know that
00:03:14
systems are so much better than
00:03:16
motivation because they are something
00:03:17
that do not require feelings or
00:03:19
motivation which is a fleeting resource
00:03:22
instead systems are actions regardless
00:03:24
of how you're feeling so if you're ever
00:03:26
in your low days it doesn't matter it
00:03:28
doesn't affect your flow of things as
00:03:30
much as relying on motivation so how do
00:03:33
we build our own system first we are
00:03:36
going to decide on what applications or
00:03:38
mediums that you'll be using when you're
00:03:40
studying and the first decision you'll
00:03:42
have to choose is whether or not you're
00:03:43
going to go digital or analog now there
00:03:46
are certain advantages to either however
00:03:48
in this time and age I really do
00:03:50
recommend just switching over to digital
00:03:52
now since it's just more convenient
00:03:54
however that doesn't mean you have to
00:03:55
fully cut off analog setting if you're
00:03:57
comfortable with writing notes on your
00:03:58
notebook then continue doing that
00:04:00
however in terms of tracking your notes
00:04:02
your quizzes and everything I do
00:04:04
recommend doing everything digitally now
00:04:06
there are a lot of apps that you can use
00:04:07
when it comes to your studying however
00:04:10
since I'll be teaching you how to study
00:04:12
here's a general system that I recommend
00:04:14
that everyone can follow and that
00:04:15
structure I recommend is the notes
00:04:17
testing directory structure basically
00:04:20
have a dedicated app for your notes and
00:04:23
for testing and for directory notes is
00:04:27
pretty much where you will store your
00:04:28
information that you will be in taking
00:04:30
now this will not be your main study
00:04:32
method usually notes are seen as
00:04:34
something that isn't really effective
00:04:36
however this will be a good gaug on
00:04:38
visualizing on what you know and if ever
00:04:40
you do need to get information that's
00:04:41
not found on your syllabus or textbooks
00:04:43
your notes are there for you testing is
00:04:46
pretty much the app that you'll be using
00:04:48
to test yourself now generally for
00:04:50
testing it can vary a lot now some
00:04:52
people generally test themselves from
00:04:54
Reading their textbooks or PDFs some
00:04:56
people require applications like me for
00:04:58
example I use the app which is a
00:05:00
flashcard app and it's pretty much used
00:05:02
by most medical students and language
00:05:04
Learners and some people can even test
00:05:06
themselves by using pre-made exam papers
00:05:09
I would be discussing that more in depth
00:05:11
but I do have a system for a way to test
00:05:14
myself and finally your directory system
00:05:17
will be a list of applications or
00:05:18
resources where you can access whenever
00:05:21
you need them these could be websites
00:05:23
applications or books where you can
00:05:25
access certain resources textbooks
00:05:27
calculated services and more now in
00:05:29
terms of scheduling for my exams and
00:05:31
tracking to-do lists I personally don't
00:05:33
like having the hassle of having too
00:05:35
many apps and this is where akif flow
00:05:37
comes in essentially akif flow is a
00:05:40
calendar and to-do list allinone with
00:05:42
app Integrations meaning that you don't
00:05:45
have to stop using Google Calendar or
00:05:47
notion or slack or anything you can all
00:05:49
integrate onto this allinone too list
00:05:52
platform which is great because you
00:05:54
don't have to switch to different apps
00:05:55
all the time all you have to do is open
00:05:58
aif Flow to access them all the UI is
00:06:00
really cool you have this calendar
00:06:02
Center and you have your to-do list on
00:06:04
the left over there and there's even
00:06:06
routines I'll be showing guys how I
00:06:08
pretty much schedule my day or my week
00:06:10
using ACU flow maybe you guys can learn
00:06:12
a thing or two about how I schedule my
00:06:14
week so yeah here is a little demo for
00:06:16
me everyone so this is currently what
00:06:18
you would see when you open ACU flow and
00:06:20
I'll give you guys a little bit of a
00:06:22
tour around this app so let's get
00:06:24
straight into it so before we begin I
00:06:26
just want to show you the Integrations
00:06:28
you can have with the this app as you
00:06:30
can see there's a lot of them and I just
00:06:32
currently have two but if you're using
00:06:34
pretty much everything else just feel
00:06:36
free to add them here but yeah going to
00:06:38
aif flow if you open this app you will
00:06:39
have two views so this is your calendar
00:06:42
view this is where I sync my Google
00:06:44
Calendar I've planned for the next few
00:06:46
days as you can see and on the left we
00:06:48
have are your main tasks right here so
00:06:51
there are different categories so you
00:06:52
have inbox tasks du today upcoming which
00:06:56
has a really cool view of showing your
00:06:58
tasks for the month for the week and for
00:07:00
the days so right now I'm working on
00:07:04
this current task right here change your
00:07:06
life with deep work and finally you can
00:07:08
click all tasks to check your tasks now
00:07:11
you'll notice that some tasks have this
00:07:13
outline and that's because if you go to
00:07:15
your tasks you can actually assign a
00:07:17
priority for your tasks so you have low
00:07:20
medium high or goal which is really cool
00:07:22
you can even have projects and tags for
00:07:24
your tasks projects with different
00:07:26
emojis and colors to make it all
00:07:28
seamless and and after that you can even
00:07:30
check your statistics of your schedule
00:07:32
and your tasks and the to-dos that
00:07:34
you've been working on and when you're
00:07:36
done you can hit here and click daily
00:07:39
shutdown and this is basically a routine
00:07:41
for you to shut down your day and to
00:07:43
prepare for the next one so I can rate
00:07:46
it good here I can drag my to-do lists
00:07:48
on this calendar right here and I plan
00:07:51
for the next day which is this over here
00:07:54
and once I'm done I can click ready to
00:07:56
shut down and it will show me that I'm
00:07:59
done with the day and it's time to move
00:08:00
on what's cool is that you can even plan
00:08:02
for the week which is I don't know
00:08:04
something that I have never really tried
00:08:06
but if you guys are into that then
00:08:08
there's a feature for that as well so if
00:08:10
you guys want to try akif flow just head
00:08:12
down to the link in the description I've
00:08:14
included the link there and you can try
00:08:16
akif flow for yourself anyway back to
00:08:19
the video now trust me this will be the
00:08:22
hardest and longest process because
00:08:24
you're finding your way to study however
00:08:27
this will be the most rewarding you will
00:08:29
be testing different methods and
00:08:31
different routines to see which really
00:08:33
fits for you and this may be the most
00:08:35
demotivating phase because you will feel
00:08:37
like you just don't know what you're
00:08:38
doing and you might feel like you're
00:08:40
doing worse academically however I'm
00:08:42
here to tell you that you're on the
00:08:44
right track and because you're finding
00:08:45
what works for you the way to get to
00:08:47
that point is by experimenting and
00:08:49
finding your way of studying trust me
00:08:51
I've tried so many things in my life and
00:08:53
it only came to a point where I realized
00:08:55
that some certain study methods really
00:08:56
just don't work as effective as others
00:08:59
depending on some people so in this step
00:09:01
I recommend looking online to check your
00:09:03
options when it comes to study methods
00:09:05
as there are a lot of study methods out
00:09:06
there and just try each of them and see
00:09:09
how it goes now for my current personal
00:09:11
study method there are three
00:09:13
applications in my system notion
00:09:16
obsidian and an notion is pretty much my
00:09:19
database where I keep my resources and
00:09:21
directories for different websites for
00:09:23
different needs I even have a university
00:09:25
tracker there to track my subjects and
00:09:27
everything obsidian is pretty much I put
00:09:29
my notes and where I convert everything
00:09:32
into flashcards and finally Anki is the
00:09:34
testing flash card app that I use in
00:09:37
order to test me and for me to remember
00:09:39
a long term using the system I was able
00:09:41
to score a 90 plus score on my major
00:09:44
general fishology exam that's why I can
00:09:46
confidently say that the system works
00:09:48
for me so how the heck do you find your
00:09:51
system right away well the short answer
00:09:53
is you don't the only way you can find
00:09:56
your study system that works for you is
00:09:58
if you keep on experimenting however it
00:10:00
can be very daunting when looking at the
00:10:02
internet there's so much resources out
00:10:04
there and there isn't really one method
00:10:06
that fits for all so how do you start
00:10:08
building from scratch then well the
00:10:10
simple answer is to just follow
00:10:12
someone's system you can follow my
00:10:14
system or you can watch a study YouTuber
00:10:16
to literally copy and take inspiration
00:10:18
from their system you can literally
00:10:20
follow my system of notion obsidian an
00:10:23
and see if it works for you remember
00:10:25
you're here to build your system you're
00:10:26
not here to get it right away so don't
00:10:28
feel Rush when finding a perfect system
00:10:31
you will know when your system is
00:10:32
perfect when you feel the most
00:10:33
comfortable and your grades is reflected
00:10:35
from that system now finally the last
00:10:38
thing you need to do is to develop your
00:10:40
study routine your study routine is what
00:10:42
will get you from I feel like studying
00:10:44
to I'm going to study today it's what
00:10:47
will help you achieve your consistent
00:10:49
study habit so how does one create a
00:10:52
study routine well I explained it more
00:10:54
in depth on my how to study even when
00:10:56
you're Tire video but essentially your
00:10:57
goal is to schedule a study based on the
00:11:00
level energy you have for the day for
00:11:01
example for me I usually have the
00:11:03
highest energy during the middle of the
00:11:05
day right after class that's why my
00:11:07
routine consists of leaving class and
00:11:09
just heading straight to workpace and
00:11:11
just getting straight into studying
00:11:13
that's why I do most of my studying
00:11:14
during the midday rather than having it
00:11:16
in the morning or in the night
00:11:17
essentially try to have a specific place
00:11:19
and time for you to study so that over
00:11:21
time your habit will build up anyway I
00:11:24
hope you guys enjoyed today's video and
00:11:26
I hope you got a little bit of direction
00:11:28
for your stud habit this is Kook and
00:11:31
I'll see you in another video don't
00:11:34
forget to drink your water bye
00:11:40
