00:00:00
Amy can you please give me tips on how
00:00:01
to study many subjects a video on how to
00:00:03
study for many subject tips to study
00:00:05
subject please make a video about how to
00:00:07
AUD on multiple subjects in high school
00:00:12
my English teacher refused to sign off
00:00:14
on my class selection for the next year
00:00:16
that's because not only was I asking to
00:00:19
take so many classes but every single
00:00:21
one of them was a weighted 5.0 GPA out
00:00:24
of four I was literally maxing out the
00:00:27
difficulty of my course schedule and she
00:00:29
was scared for me
00:00:30
however I was so confident that I could
00:00:33
handle it that I convinced her she
00:00:35
handed my class proposal back to me with
00:00:37
a sticky note saying you're crazy Amy
00:00:40
and guess what I didn't regret my
00:00:42
decision instead I aced every single
00:00:45
class while maintaining my sleep
00:00:46
schedule of an average of 8 hours per
00:00:48
night while still playing Varsity Sports
00:00:51
so how did I study so many subjects at
00:00:53
once that's what you'll find out
00:00:56
today woo didn't know I could aberrate
00:00:58
huh well did you also know that I'm an
00:01:00
Olympic level ping pong star no I'm not
00:01:03
nearly as cool as that Amy Wang but I do
00:01:06
have the best team The A Team which you
00:01:08
are a part of if you watch my channel
00:01:10
that's because my videos teach you how
00:01:12
to get A's the cool way with holistic
00:01:15
mindsets and habits that serve you
00:01:17
beyond school if you're committed to
00:01:19
excelling in all of your many classes
00:01:21
while stressing less then turn this
00:01:23
video on full screen mode and prepare to
00:01:26
lock in if you listen to the last tip
00:01:29
you've got what it takes let's go you're
00:01:31
going to love this first one I assume
00:01:33
you don't want to study for entire days
00:01:35
on end I certainly did not want to study
00:01:38
for a full day guess what you shouldn't
00:01:42
I rarely had days where I spent the
00:01:44
whole chunk of my waking hours studying
00:01:47
that's because I wanted to watch a K
00:01:48
drama with my sister or in college I
00:01:51
wanted to visit Hollywood with my
00:01:52
friends when I had something to look
00:01:54
forward to every weekend or after school
00:01:57
I was even more efficient and motivated
00:01:59
to work that's because I wasn't hating
00:02:02
life when you're happier you're more
00:02:04
productive even if you feel like you
00:02:06
need to study for a whole day to handle
00:02:08
all of your many classes plan a nice
00:02:10
walk or dinner for quality time with
00:02:12
your loved ones and I promise the hour
00:02:15
you squeeze out will be worth it people
00:02:17
brag online like oh how I study 12 hours
00:02:20
in a row and here's how you can do it
00:02:22
too as if there's an award for running
00:02:25
yourself into the ground or
00:02:27
something they make it feel like you're
00:02:29
doing something wrong if you're not
00:02:31
studying all day but if I was studying
00:02:34
happily and sustainably while getting
00:02:36
top grades I had to be doing something
00:02:39
right breaking up my days with fun in
00:02:41
between the coolest way to get A's isn't
00:02:44
to study 24/7 because ironically that
00:02:47
wouldn't be very smart but you know who
00:02:49
is smart lazy people the laziest people
00:02:52
are the smartest people think about the
00:02:55
dishwasher if someone wasn't lazy enough
00:02:58
to be like ew I don't want to wash the
00:03:00
dishes by hand then we probably wouldn't
00:03:02
have this amazing invention today so I
00:03:04
think of lazy as the following when
00:03:06
faced with a difficult situation try to
00:03:08
work smarter before working harder so
00:03:11
find shortcuts AP Government sophomore
00:03:14
year was so tedious and really hard we
00:03:18
had to fill out gigantic packets of
00:03:20
information for homework every single
00:03:23
week these packets were literally 20
00:03:25
Pages thick as thick as my eyeball and
00:03:28
if you're doing so many classes is one
00:03:30
tedious timeconsuming class can drag
00:03:33
everything else down so I took that
00:03:36
packet I went to lovely Google and typed
00:03:40
out one of the questions in the exact
00:03:42
wording oh my gosh guess what happened I
00:03:46
found quizlets with the exact questions
00:03:48
from the packets with the answers in
00:03:51
full complete explanations now no this
00:03:54
is not cheating because I still would
00:03:58
have had to dig through the text to end
00:04:00
up getting the exact same answers it's
00:04:02
not like I was getting greater
00:04:04
understanding from searching the answers
00:04:07
myself rather than just using Quizlet if
00:04:10
a shortcut gives you the same result and
00:04:12
the same learning you gain from it then
00:04:15
don't reinvent the wheel cut your losses
00:04:17
maybe you like making presentations
00:04:19
pretty but if it's going to be timec
00:04:21
consuming it's not worth it because it's
00:04:22
no longer going to be fun when it's
00:04:24
sucking time away from your other
00:04:26
classes so think how can I be the
00:04:28
laziest possible while still getting the
00:04:30
same results when you go to the gym do
00:04:33
you think you're going to be able to do
00:04:35
100 sets of bicep curls 50 sets of
00:04:38
squats no because at one point when you
00:04:41
try to overload yourself you get
00:04:43
diminishing returns the same thing with
00:04:46
studying so don't overload your brain
00:04:48
this means don't do all of your
00:04:50
memorization subjects in one day when I
00:04:53
tried to memorize history facts and
00:04:55
biology terms in the same study session
00:04:58
eventually my brain felt like it was
00:05:00
going to explode and it couldn't retain
00:05:02
a single new piece of information I
00:05:04
tried to shove in there your brain
00:05:05
physically cannot encode that much at
00:05:07
once however please note that problem
00:05:10
solving classes are okay to do in a day
00:05:13
or study session in high school and at
00:05:16
Caltech my class schedule was filled
00:05:18
with 80 to 90% science and math classes
00:05:22
and I found that actually by studying
00:05:24
them together I can make connections
00:05:27
between math and physics for example and
00:05:29
still learn effectively when you have
00:05:31
too many classes it's really easy to let
00:05:34
one assignment slip through the cracks
00:05:35
and that can make a big difference to
00:05:37
your grade that is why I use a
00:05:42
Tracker in addition to the usual days of
00:05:45
the week in my planner I would draw my
00:05:48
own grid system for each week I would
00:05:51
have a blue and green section for blue
00:05:56
and green days cuz my school was on a
00:05:58
block schedule for each of my blue and
00:06:02
green days I had four
00:06:05
classes so one 2 3 4 1 2 3
00:06:12
4 not kidding
00:06:15
my makeshift grid on my planner was
00:06:19
actually as messy and freestyle like
00:06:22
this next I have Monday Tuesday
00:06:25
Wednesday Thursday Friday seven days a
00:06:28
week at the top as I'm going about each
00:06:32
day I would check off whether each
00:06:35
class's to-dos were done for example if
00:06:38
I am on Monday and I've already done
00:06:42
everything I need for class one on Blue
00:06:44
days and I didn't have anything for
00:06:47
Class 2 I finished my class three things
00:06:50
blah blah blah then I would check them
00:06:52
all off this way even if I didn't write
00:06:56
an assignment down in the regular
00:06:58
planner section I would ensure that
00:07:00
every single class is captured so I next
00:07:03
on Tuesday as I'm doing my work okay I
00:07:06
did blue two then I did green one okay
00:07:10
didn't have any work for green two blah
00:07:12
blah blah until for every single day I
00:07:14
make sure that the entire column has
00:07:18
full check marks systems like these
00:07:20
trackers are the core of time management
00:07:23
that's why I also recommend this
00:07:24
specific class on skillshare called
00:07:27
productivity and time management
00:07:28
strategies for goal setting and
00:07:30
eliminating distractions that title
00:07:32
literally sounds like it was made for us
00:07:34
right thanks so much skillshare for
00:07:36
sponsoring this portion of the video if
00:07:38
you don't know they're an online
00:07:39
learning community where experts from
00:07:41
various Industries teach you art
00:07:44
entrepreneurship productivity and more
00:07:46
common question students have when
00:07:48
handling so many things is where do I
00:07:51
start how do I even do this daunting
00:07:54
task Patrick Deng shares how to create
00:07:56
the Snowball Effect so progress becomes
00:07:59
EAS easier and easier once you take your
00:08:01
tasks Bird by bird making it less
00:08:04
stressful and having many classes makes
00:08:07
prioritization even more important dang
00:08:10
Patrick D also teaches you how to
00:08:13
prioritize and set smart goals with his
00:08:15
worksheet I especially like how he calls
00:08:18
all of this together a productivity
00:08:21
machine because being productive should
00:08:23
feel easier and almost automatic if
00:08:26
you're using the right mindsets and
00:08:28
habits you can never learn learn too
00:08:29
much about how to organize your ideal
00:08:31
life so I've been going through
00:08:33
Patrick's sections and I really enjoy
00:08:35
learning in a more structured way than
00:08:38
perhaps random videos on YouTube and
00:08:40
lucky you because you can actually
00:08:42
listen to his class for free because the
00:08:45
first 500 people can get a free one
00:08:48
month of skillshare Premium with a link
00:08:50
in my description as a private tutor
00:08:52
I've seen how students make the mistake
00:08:54
of putting an equal amount of effort on
00:08:57
all subjects and all Concepts instead
00:08:59
you should adapt by weight and
00:09:02
difficulty like I share in this video
00:09:04
about how to cram effectively you should
00:09:06
spend the most time firstly on items
00:09:10
that will give you the most points on
00:09:12
assignments and tests you can find out
00:09:14
which Concepts have the highest weight
00:09:17
by looking in your syllabus or
00:09:18
explicitly asking your teacher never be
00:09:20
afraid to talk to your teacher next you
00:09:22
prioritize by difficulty review the
00:09:25
classes or concepts that you struggle
00:09:27
the most with resist the temptation to
00:09:29
always look back at what you already
00:09:31
understand I know it feels great and you
00:09:33
get a dopamine hit when you review that
00:09:36
page again that you already know because
00:09:38
wow you feel so smart but it's better to
00:09:41
feel dumb now and review what you don't
00:09:44
know than feel dumb on the test imagine
00:09:47
tackling one class as sawing down a tree
00:09:51
well it would be very helpful if your
00:09:54
saw was sharp right then if you spend
00:09:56
time sharpening the saw you can saw down
00:10:00
your trees even faster so what happens
00:10:02
when you have many classes well you're
00:10:04
going to have to saw down a whole heck
00:10:06
of a lot of trees so it's even more
00:10:09
important that you sharpen the saw how
00:10:11
do you do this being healthy is not
00:10:14
optional I repeat being healthy is not
00:10:17
optional that's why even when I had a
00:10:20
lot of classes or extracurriculars
00:10:22
working out taking supplements eating
00:10:25
veggies and protein at every meal these
00:10:27
are all non-negotiables
00:10:29
your body your physical and mental state
00:10:32
are all parts of the saw you need in
00:10:35
order to tackle each of your classes
00:10:38
it's well worth the time and effort to
00:10:40
sharpen your saw because that's going to
00:10:42
save you time and effort when you're
00:10:44
actually sawing down the trees why do I
00:10:46
always say I sleep an average of 8 hours
00:10:48
a night I don't sleep enough just
00:10:50
because I'm efficient at studying I'm
00:10:53
efficient at studying because I sleep
00:10:56
enough mic drop the golden mindset here
00:11:00
we go go back to the basics oh ew that's
00:11:04
boring what what do you even mean see
00:11:06
that's the thing the basics that
00:11:08
everyone has heard hundreds of times
00:11:10
before are boring but the boring tips
00:11:13
are what work that's why every single
00:11:16
person says the same thing Basics are do
00:11:19
active recall ask for help take care of
00:11:22
your body and many more that I just
00:11:24
don't have the time for to list all of
00:11:27
them in this video stop looking for for
00:11:29
that magical new tip with the time
00:11:32
you're spending watching new videos you
00:11:35
could have made a lot more progress by
00:11:37
following basic boring advice this is
00:11:40
cool okay listen to this when you watch
00:11:43
any one of my videos even if it doesn't
00:11:46
say explicitly this is how you handle
00:11:48
many subjects all of my advice will help
00:11:52
you handle many different subjects
00:11:54
that's because this is the core of all
00:11:57
of my advice to handle things
00:11:59
efficiently effectively and sustainably
00:12:02
since I took the hardest classes each
00:12:04
year of high school and studied chemical
00:12:06
engineering at one of the hardest
00:12:07
schools in the world naturally all of my
00:12:10
advice helps you excel in tough
00:12:12
stressful situations that's why I tell
00:12:14
you my background in the intros I've
00:12:16
made videos on how to study efficiently
00:12:19
how to take notes quickly and time
00:12:22
management yet people still specifically
00:12:25
want a video titled how to handle many
00:12:27
subjects but have you you used every
00:12:30
single efficient studying technique for
00:12:33
an individual class because if you cut
00:12:36
down the study time for each class it's
00:12:39
automatically going to be easier to
00:12:40
study for more classes you will be
00:12:43
amazed that if you follow my note taking
00:12:45
advice of annotating it will
00:12:47
automatically be easier to study for
00:12:50
many different tests on the same day if
00:12:53
you use my digital planner you will
00:12:55
automatically be making a cheat sheet
00:12:57
study guide for each of your classes
00:12:59
we have to be thoughtful and
00:13:01
holistically make connections between
00:13:02
different problems in our lives the same
00:13:05
good habits are solutions to multiple
00:13:08
problems you're having each little habit
00:13:10
makes a difference you may not think
00:13:12
that efficient note taking is relevant
00:13:14
to handling many subjects because well I
00:13:16
didn't explicitly say that but of course
00:13:18
it will help you the magic behind basic
00:13:21
advice isn't how magical the tips
00:13:24
actually are but it's in how much you
00:13:27
actually convert them you determine how
00:13:30
magical the advice is if you're here
00:13:33
congrats you got through my big
00:13:35
preaching session didn't have one of
00:13:36
those in a while you have also got what
00:13:38
it takes so comment I like the swoosh
00:13:42
because you're already so smart and you
00:13:44
know what you have to do so just do it
00:13:47
by commenting this we confuse the people
00:13:49
who just half-butted this video and went
00:13:51
down to the comments then they will feel
00:13:53
like they missed out on some team
00:13:55
bonding but let's be real you do miss
00:13:57
out if you skip some part to my video
00:14:00
because why would I leave them in if I
00:14:01
didn't think they were helpful in some
00:14:02
way good job remember you can hone your
00:14:05
time management skills in a structured
00:14:06
way with skillshare as well as learn
00:14:08
about many different things like art
00:14:11
design entrepreneurship the first 500
00:14:13
people who use my link can try for free
00:14:16
I also want to say thank you so much to
00:14:19
you for giving me opportunities to work
00:14:21

00:14:28
in so much ever and make these videos
00:14:30

I'll see you next time 18
00:14:38
peace sorry
00:14:40
flowers balance surprise face ooh look
00:14:44
at that look at that okay just kidding
00:14:46
un
00:14:48
M un M the longer I do this the figer it
00:14:53
looks feel
00:14:55
sleeping I feel the com
00:15:03
recently I've been journaling a lot
00:15:06
think what I really realized is I am an
00:15:10
extroverted person and I love knowing
00:15:13
that people are grinding alongside me
00:15:15
which is probably why even though work
00:15:17
was so hard and difficult at Caltech
00:15:19
that I didn't feel this uneasiness that
00:15:23
I do right now another source of my
00:15:26
milrom of emotions in side is I recently
00:15:30
visited the Harvard Business School
00:15:33
campus and it's so beautiful oh my gosh
00:15:37
I might have just set myself up for
00:15:40
major disappointment I can totally see
00:15:43
myself going there I took a photo with a
00:15:45
sign that might have been another
00:15:47
mistake but I'm just trying to manifest
00:15:49
here yeah it makes me worried because
00:15:52
I'm getting my hopes up and the higher
00:15:53
your hopes the farther you fall but I'm
00:15:56
also thinking I want to try even hard
00:15:59
harder but how do I do that and it's
00:16:02
like life has not been dealing me such
00:16:06
easy cards recently mentally I'm not as
00:16:10
strong as I used to be feel like I
00:16:13
should be able to handle all of this and
00:16:15
I'm trying really hard so I just have to
00:16:17
trust myself that at the end of the day
00:16:18
I'm still going to submit a product that
00:16:21
I feel like is 10% up to my standards if
00:16:25
my written application is good and I
00:16:28
pass on to the next stage of actually
00:16:30
getting an interview when I think about
00:16:32
that I have PTSD from my mock interview
00:16:36
with Sandy the only HBS version
00:16:41
interview I had that was a few user few
00:16:44
years ago and I actually had a migraine
00:16:47
right before that started oh my gosh it
00:16:49
went so bad so there my embarrassment
00:16:52
lives on the internet forever applying
00:16:55
to something is so stressful by also
00:16:59
don't want it to be stressful because I
00:17:00
know that the actual result has many
00:17:04
things outside of my control even so now
00:17:07
I'm just going to share you know some
00:17:09
stats for HPS the acceptance rate is
00:17:12
around 12% the average GPA is a
00:17:16
3.73 a median GMAT score of 740 I have a
00:17:21
4.0 and chemical engineering from
00:17:23
Caltech and I got a GMAT score of 760
00:17:26
another fun fact during that virtual
00:17:29
GMAT test taking I actually had three
00:17:32
technical difficulties it was so
00:17:34
stressful and disrupted my flow of
00:17:37
taking a test but you know we still made
00:17:39
it through miraculously so theoretically
00:17:42
I should be in pretty good shape when it
00:17:45
comes to
00:17:46
Stats that also puts even more pressure
00:17:49
on myself like I have to be so perfect
00:17:52
to not botch my application HBS along
00:17:56
with Stanford GSB are the two hardest
00:17:58
MBA programs to apply to HBS especially
00:18:01
because they look really closely at your
00:18:03
short answer questions just as closely
00:18:05
as the essay and they're going to grill
00:18:07
you I mean ask you very deep questions
00:18:10
on the interview even though I have all
00:18:12
these emotions the only thing I can do
00:18:15
is to continue going and adjust my State
00:18:19
of Mind by going to the gym meditating
00:18:23
doing what I can do because you
00:18:26
know it's just a push I'm going to have
00:18:29
to do and when it's over I'm going to be
00:18:30
so grateful the only thing I would
00:18:32
regret after the deadline is if I didn't
00:18:36
give my
00:18:38
all I feel like I end all of these mini
00:18:41
Vlogs like
00:18:42
this let's
00:18:44
go confidence sugar and
00:18:49
spice I
