    It is SOO easy to lose motivation with studying which is why it’s important to make studying a habit, not something you only do when you’re feeling motivated. Thanks for the tips Ruby! 🙏🏽💛

    This is exactly what I was talking about today with my mom, the fact that I have troubles to start studying and stick to a schedule and that I will need to find solutions for the next semester/ next school year
    Can't wait to see the video! Thank you Ruby 🌻

    The perfectionism thing and editing line by line was exactly what I did and Ruby is complete right. My way of getting round that was to hand write my essays. Because I was handwriting, I would obviously have to type it all up afterwards, and so it functionally separated the writing and the editing, so when I was typing, the meat was done and THEN I could edit them sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph. I also found it gave me the freedom to jump around the essay and write out of order and just get the good ideas down (something I really struggled with when writing directly onto a word doc). I used felt tip pens because they're really good for fast movements (vs a thinner point pen) and I colour coded by sections I thought I wanted that paragraph to go in so there was some order in the word soup.
    Honestly, saved my masters, I wrote every essay AND my 14k word dissertation this way.

    I'm in the midst of exams and it's generally quite stressful with the expectations that I have of my grades. Especially since I'm in my second year which means that these grades contribute to my overall degree mark. So the end of this video really hit me and gave me more perspective to be kinder to myself and I'm just really thankful for that ❤ Good luck to everyone who's currently having exams, I'm sure we'll all do our best!

    10:25 thank you, Ruby for making me realize my problem! because this past week, I had to submit 2 long drafts and I was just sitting in front of my laptop, writing and deleting it, which resulted in not having them done AT ALL! You can't imagine the stress I've experienced. Perfectionism in essay writing is HELL! thanks, ruby (and thanks to IB for making my life miserable)

  • @thetimetraveller2671
    @thetimetraveller2671 2 года назад +2

    Also, read something about a topic that really interests you. I'm really into Astrophysics, sadly we never do Astrophysics in Physics classes. So, when I'm not motivated to study for anything at all and I have time, I give myself 15 min - 30 min to read something about Astrophysics and then I'm already in the studying mode, so I can easily change the subject as well

    Watching this to start today's paper-writing session. Thanks for the amazing tipps. Another thing I've found to be effective, is to just write down a question like "Why is this important?" "What is one thing that is interesing about this?" etc. Great to get going, and, if you're writing a paper, you take away the pressure of writing a decent first sentence.

    Maybe it's weird but i've never actually felt motivated for anything. No matter if it's something I like doing or not, I never feel like doing it. It's a constant battle of wits WANTING to do something but not feeling like it. I tend to just force myself through it and get to the feeling productive. These tips are definitely good! Love seeing how others deal with it.

    Hi! Loved this video, I've been in a very unmotivated state recently. Another thing that works for me is changing my workspace! If I feel unmotivated, a lot of times it's because of my space.

    Something that always worked to motivate me to do school work was a desire to impress my professors with my work ethic. I would get an assignment to write an essay that would be due a month later and I would ask them to review a first draft a day or two later. I always enjoyed the look of shock they had when I handed it to them.

    This could be all put in a (sweet and nutty) nutshell: "Learning to work without a net."
    Throughout school days there is the net of parents / guardians and teachers, steering you onto the right path, helping you not to stray, helping you to focus.
    At university, there is the more subtle net of a schedule, deadlines etc. You have to navigate it yourself without the help of those parental / teacher steers, but it is still a structure that prompts you to stay on a given path.
    In the independent world of adulthood, you are finally having to steer yourself, whether through tasks you set yourself or through tasks required of you by employers or domestic situation. So, it's important to have an approach to it all!

    Hi Ruby, would you be able to do a video about text books that you found particularly useful during your degree? I'm coming to the end of my second year of teacher training and would love to focus more on children's literature in year three. Thanks!

    Hello from Galicia (Spain) I love your content. I'm an ESL teacher and sometimes writer -mostly ad honorem- buuuut I'm dying to know more about your tea set: where did you get it?!
    You'd be an amazing ESL teacher... think about it. There's a program with the Spanish government for speaking aids (auxiliaries de conversación) and as an experience it might come in handy.
    Gracias!
