      I know this is a late reply, but maybe someone comes across this:
      After many years of study, I've found that the best workaround is to set up your workspace before it's time to study. Clear your desk. Open your book at the right page. Have pen and paper ready. Then go do whatever procrastinatory activity you feel like. It's ok. You've completed your task. Now it will be much easier to start studying, whenever the motivation is there!

      @wannahavechocolate 5 лет назад +11

      Also very late answer but maybe try the pomodoro method. Basically do 25 minutes and then 5 minutes break and then repeat. For me it makes it easier to start because I'm only commiting to working for a short time. If you still find i difficult to start try doing even shorter time periods or just a very small task like writing 2 sentences or making 5 flashcards. Hope this helps (:

      a yellow paper crown I had the same problem. Turns out that it was useless distractions like scrolling through RUclips, FB and insta. Turns out to the solution (or at least great help) was to get started with something productive the moment you step out of bed. Then getting started on other things becomes a lot easier.

    In summary
    1) pls look after urself, don't feel pressured to study for 14 hours straight. You can suceed without doing 14 hours of revision.
    2) motivation is key. 'Success leads to motivation, which leads to success, which leads us to a LOOP' use to do lists to feel accomplished and make this realistic. Be ambitious but don't overestimate this. Make a timetable where you stick to the pace that you have set. Schedule breaks and put it into your timetable. Keep going - when you eliminate the choice of procrastinating when thinking about revision, you avoid procrastination.
    3) CREATE A FLOW where you're completely focused on what you're doing. Be relaxed when you start studying - TOP TIP: MEDITATE, please. (From me) because if you meditate every morning and every night, you will be able to concentrate longer and more effectively. You won't get stressed about revision.
    4) fluctuate between subjects or passive and active revision or just reading etc.
    5)have a motivational method or routine, by...
    6)looking up the sawyer effect. It explains that you can turn anything into play. This helps create a flow.

    Honestly, one of my favorite quotes is "motivation is temporary, self-discipline is forever." It's my favorite because for the longest time I was the biggest procrastinator I knew and it always ended up being a self-destructive cycle that made my mental state decline a lot. Teaching myself discipline is probably one of the most useful tools I have ever done and has honestly made me have a lot less bad days.

    Dear Ruby, I've been watching your video for a few years now and you always make me try to better myself. I'm now an Art student and no longer need to study anymore, but whenever I feel lazy or need that extra push, I always watch your video and proceed to do my work straight away! And after this video, it made me miss studying and I think I might just start a routine and organize some extra studying on the side! I've always been that student that is good enough, but never the best. I think its because I always do work with just enough effort, I'm going to try harder next semester! Thank you again!

    How to study for 14 hours:
    - motivation : small successes leads to motivation, and that by breaking up tasks to smaller tasks and using time tables.
    - Avoiding procrastination : use time tables to have everything planned and eliminate choice .
    - flow : a state of complete focus and contentment. To reach it you should be relaxed doing your work.
    - switch between subjects and tasks to not get bored.
    - have a motivational routine.

    Morning meditation is something that's helping me a lot to concentrate. Because you have to keep your focus on one thing that is breathing and then you let every other thought just go without judgement. It's hard at the beginning, but practice makes it easier and easier. Doing this everyday, for a while now, is making me achieve this flow state you just mentioned. Much love from Brazil, Ruby! :)

    My problem is that the amount of work I want and feel I need to do is WAY more than I actually have time for, so I immediately feel like I’ve failed before I’ve even started. And like the fear of putting in a lot of effort just to fail anyway, for example it’s happened so often that I’ve tried so hard revising for a test and still got a D or a U, or attempted to have a productive day and completely wasted it, or was productive but one topic took far too long and I didn’t do everything I needed to. I just know I can’t do things so it makes me not even want to start.

    I used to procrastinate a lot in highschool, the way we were taught subjects would bore me and the pace would just stress me out, which would only fuel the procrastination. Post highschool, i am in the process of retaking the courses and i am actually motivated now to study and to learn because of two things: Now that I've been given the chance to do things in my own pace, it has given me the time to actually decide what career path I want to take. I have a clear goal that i can work towards. The second thing that has helped me a lot is to reinstill that childish curiosity I used to have when I started school. Actually start asking why again, and to actually search for answers.

    Thank you for making this video! I had a very difficult relationship with school in middle and high school and now that I’m in college simple things like finding motivation have become difficult for me. And it can be frustrating because in middle and high school I just didn’t care, but obviously since I chose to go to university I really care about my academics now, but it’s hard when I didn’t put my best foot forward in high school. It was especially difficult after taking a gap year in between as well. Your videos are really inspiring and helpful!

    This makes me think of every article I've read about the effect smartphones have on our ability to focus. I remember reading something like this: "When I was younger, I was able to read thick books and not lose my concentration. Now I feel myself losing focus after [smaller time frame, in my mind something like barely 30 minutes]. Focus is trainable isn't it? I think you're able to focus for long periods of time because you're well-trained, reading quite a lot of books and being used to those relatively long study sessions. Nice video!❤

    This reminds me of a time where I had one month to do a university project... but me being me I decided to do it in 2 days, or 32 hours of work, with just 2 hours between those 32 to eat and "sleep". At the end I felt I was going to die, I started hallucinating due to the lack of sleep and food, and even had a vision of me marrying certain pop singer (luckily, not Justin Bieber). At the end, I finished my project, but I do not recommend doing that to anyone. No homework is more important than your health.

    What helpes me is to have the motivation of learning pretty. Writing slow and beautiful and clean, on a clean paper helps me think and understand more what i write, and treating everything i write down as suuuper important and precious, to make it pretty. I am happy if i sucess, you get in a flow, you THINK about more what you write and HOW your write. And when i finished some papers i can look at them and have the success-moment of looking at a pretty page i understand and did myself! And i keep all these papers and treat them really well, still! Helped me too :)

    Love ya Ruby ❤️

    On "Switching subjects": I always put a timer on 1 hour in which I study for one specific subject and after that I decide if I want to continue with that subject (if I´m in a flow) or change it (if I get bored). Perfect for me because I often don´t know beforehand

    as someone with adhd i found doing lists and breaking work up into sections has worked really well for me, i would recommend this for others but if you find it particularly tricky i sometimes find that rewarding yourself and doing small exercises in between can train yourself to associate studying with something positive.

    My method:
    1. Choose to write your final year 8,000-word maths dissertation on x squared plus y squared equals z squared.
    2. Wait until 48 hours before the deadline to start.
    3. Work from 7pm to 6am two nights in a row, with a huge jug of coffee and Bob Dylan CDs for company.
    4. Hand it in 30 minutes before the deadline and get 45% for it (a pass!).

      @@username-yn5yo you had to get 40% to pass it. My overall mark including exams was 50.5% which scraped a 2:2 degree in the UK. If I'd worked harder and got 59.5% average, it still would have got me the same degree.
