Which application was that in which you were schedule your task??? Is it in your calendar?
Same question
Which application you use to be productive and to schedule your work
@@_ShubhamSiddharth he used google applications, to make his schedule he used google Calendar and to make the to-do list he used googles notes app
As someone who's become obsessed with trying to create a system to manage my time and resources, creating countless notion databases and bullet journals, just to end up not using them- this. This is a breath of fresh air. I need to stop overcomplicating everything, and just Do.
Thanks for reminding me of the importance of simplicity.
Exactly!! I have had so many different notion systems, I have adopted one but I only use it loosely
When it comes to productivity, many people can overcomplicate the system to be more productive. Glad you have realized it and take a step back!
just dont manage your time. That works for me
@@tsukiiiiiii thank you moon/month in Japanese :))
this is SO SO me :((
I totally feel you, and I hope you are doing better now.
Note to self
1. Time yourself
⁃ Understanding how long it takes you to do things by timing yourself
2. Calendar or piece of paper or on phone with Google Calendar
1. Capture new tasks and deadlines as soon as you get it
2. Plan your day based on what needs to be done
3. Schedule/ Move all other tasks to future days in the calendar
3. 4 rules
1. It has to be { Flexible }
2. It needs to be { Easy to restart after periods of neglect }
3. It has to { Reduce stress }
⁃ Immediately record any tasks, deadlines and ideas that we get

This is so good! As students we can't just ask others to do things for us and this system shows that we don't need to be packed with tasks all the time. Keep up with the videos they're so good!
Thank you for the amazing input! I agree with you, you don't need to overwhelm yourself rather schedule the most important tasks (20%) that will yield 80% of the results (of whatever goal you want to achieve).
Notes:
1. Don't eyeball the time
2. Record tasks on paper/phone and schedule on Calendar
3. Capture new tasks and deadlines as soon as you get it
4. Plan your day based on what needs to be done
5. Schedule/move all other tasks to future days in the calendar

This is from the book "How to Be A Straight-A Student" by Cal Newport! That book literally changed my life it has sooo many good tips from students that performed well at top universities!
:O I should give it a try
I agree! That book (combined with his two other books, ‘Deep Work’ and ‘How to Win at College’) is a game changer!
Cal Newport is a great thinker and writer! A lot of our systems and strategies are inspired by him.
didn't realise how organised I already am until this. I spend so much time stressing about getting assignments done, but props to me for actually having a system in place
How do you do it? any tips?
Are still rolling with ur system consistently ?
This is just what I needed as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, I tend to overcomplicate things, and thanks for reminding me to just simplify it, so I can just do it🙂
You’re amazing and I believe in you. We’re in this together
This is amazing. I’ve been trying to figure out how to better organize and optimize my time but it always felt like a chore and made me more stressed instead of less stressed, which is the point of all of this. I’m definitely going to use this process from now on, thank you!!!
This video made me laugh for all the good reasons. The cool thing is that I can apply the advice even though I'm not longer only a student. Priorities definitely should be the first thing to look for but flexibility allow us to adjust to many circumstances.
P.S. Matty don't let Mike to push you into buying him a new iPad 😂
🤌 📱
I usually don't comment on videos but this one deserves all the praise. What you say in the intro of the video is absolutely right. I've been looking at planning and scheduling videos for months now because I've been stuck in a slump and absolutely no one talked about how a student should go about planning their day. I finally feel motivated to get my shit done because of how well you broke things down and made it so so simple. Things no longer feel overwhelming, thanks to you!
so i found out this channel more than a week ago and i must say that it's the best thing happened to me this session! i really like how honestly and easily you explain study tips and the concepts and layout of your videos are next level! i'm still in high school and i wanna go in medical science i still have time (like 2 years ) for my medical school enterance exams :) i genuinely want to thank you guys for making these videos and for everyday motivating me more to get into med school !! hope you guys get best rewards !!
Honestly speaking my week's schedule was been pretty bad. Thank you Mike and Matty for giving me tips on fixing it up, all in a good vibe 🔥🔥🔥❤‼️
It’s really nice to see a student organisation video that isn’t just “plan your day minute by minute with a robotic and strict routine each day that has zero room for adaptation”. Quick, simple to understand, incredibly adaptable, space to implement smaller routines if desired and not generic.
I’ve definitely leaned towards a method slightly similar after realising the whole day routine thing wasn’t for me. A to do list based on a spreadsheet of topics to revise, picking based both on urgency and time taken. I’d then tier them to see what I needed to prioritise for the day. But there wasn’t any other written structure asides from the class timetable and shift times, no master to do list for things outside of topic revision, no designated place to note extra things (I would write them somewhere but nowhere specific). My weekly calendar was basically just the additional topics I should use as replacements for complete tasks, so it would quickly get outdated/messy and didn’t provide extra benefit. It worked well enough overall but definitely could be improved, and won’t be as good at uni (more miscellaneous commitments/events, plus I got my own place between A-Levels and uni which needs more maintenance).
I think this video basically has everything I need to sort the aspects of my previous method that didn’t work whilst also letting me incorporate other things that have worked for me that aren’t included here. A written system that allows for both allotting times and changing them, without requiring/tempting you to fill in pointless details and plan every minute (which was always frustrating and time consuming). Genuinely a really helpful video that’s allowed me to solidify the details of how I was going to change my plans
i can't believe such a short video can make my whole life easier! i'm going to keep all the things you said in mind. Stay safe and healthy! You're the best
I've watched a lot of time management videos and this is only one of the few that did not give me anxiety or stress about having to be very meticulous on my day-to-day/weekly tasks.
true, those people are giving robot vibes lol
this was such an amazing video for students. I always make my schedules very rigid and dont follow them and since starting college , I have also been struggling about spending time with friends and taking time out to study at the same time. Thank you so much.
This vid was really helpful! I’m already graduated but still have to study for my boards to be licensed! Trying to find a schedule for me post-grad has been hard here and there, but really going back to the foundational basics like this video spelling it out for you, puts things back into perspective and not being so stressed all day long making sure you did all you tasks by the time you sleep! Thanks!
Finally, i’ve been using this method to manage my time and study and i’ve always been not sure about it. Thanks for this short, helpful video! I’m going to start measuring how long does it take to do a task so i can make use of my day as a student. 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve been struggling to plan my day and I always wondered why none of the tips I tried from other videos worked for me. Especially with my exams coming up, this is such a useful video! Thank you
SO GLAD to have found this video because I have been struggling for months trying to organize my life as a master's student after years of being out of the academia (I graduated in 2018 so I'm kinda rusty with organization) and I was feeling really overwhelmed with all the productivity videos because all of them don't match a lot with my routine so I was really sad 😭 And your video showed up so thank you very much for your content! Definitely gonna try it out!
(Also loved the HxH footage hahaha - a Killua fan here)
The tips in this video are game-changing, not just for students but anyone who struggles with procrastination and being organized. Planning each day in advance using a calendar is such a simple concept yet could make a huge difference. Kudos for sharing this invaluable advice!
I loved your honesty. Thanks so much for this video, this is the first one I'm watching from your channel. Really need to start and time stuff more correctly.
the editing on this video really shines. All of the edits help communicate the message, and don't distract from it. Nice work.
Truly High-Quality video, noy only the "quality" but also the ideas in it, this is the first time I enter this channel & it's amazing, I love it! 😃😃
Another cool video from Mike and Matty! Thanks for all the inspiration.
I needed this. I’ve never used a calendar or schedule in my life and it has only caused me to be excessively stressed, to forget things and to procrastinate all the time. I’m starting my first year of college in a couple of days and want to get my shit together. Thank you!!!
I hope you are doing good ❤ starting a new thing is bit frightening but I wish you all the luck of the universe ❤❤❤
I really love the flexibility yet capacity for tasks this method allows! :D instead of having a bunch of things I *want* to do I can now rely on this strong system to jot tasks down and implement them to a calendar x) Thanks a lot Mike and Matty!! -- from a perfectionistic human being that over thinks a bit too much and has a lot of dreams to fulfill!
This is amazing. True to the core and no promises of a perfect routine.
Thanks Matty.
It is helpful! For the last 3 years I used to plan at the beginning of the semester when I would study each subject during the week according to the suggested weekly study time for each class. But of course it never ever went according to plan, there was always something new every day, and I ended up overwhelmed and disappointed I couldn't follow that strict schedule. But it makes sense. That's how life is, unexpected things happen! So with this method I feel like I'll eliminate the stress of not meeting my goals since in a short period of time I'll be able to make a more realistic schedule for each unique day:) Plus, I can change the schedule depending of my interest at the moment! Thank you so much!
truly an amazing video! it’s so simple yet so impactful. it doesn’t require so much tools & time. by far the only time management video that has stuck to me and made me so aware! please do more videos on time management and being intentional yet flexible with your time!!!
Thank you for this! I love the simplicity, because sometimes when a system is so complicated, I ended up not following through them.
Love love love this video. I have been struggling to find a schedule and plan that works for me and I am realizing that large block scheduling is just not working for me. You just reminded me that this type of schedule is what worked well for me in University. Now this fall I'm going to be teaching at University and I am definitely sharing this with my students! Thank you for sharing!
This was sooo goood. I love organizing things and this was mentally pleasing.
Also, this video is 6 months old, however, I use the app "Structured" and it is exactly what you were doing analogically. One crazy feature is that it shows you unoccupied time between two tasks and prompts you to add any task that can be fit in that empty space!
Cheers. You got a new subscriber!
This is the video I needed when I was a student. Well done, simple, and easy to follow on screen visuals.
You saved my life. I was struggling with timing and then you dropped everything I’m overwhelmed about.
i find this really helpful, making a timetable to do the task accrodingly is super organized and reduces stress. I will definitely try out this method, thank you so much
I really needed management advice, this helped a lot!
This is amazingly simple - I always felt that all the major youtube channels and influencers' tips and structures are too much of a burden when i just need a simple way to go through various tasks at various times. This video is super cool and all the steps are intuitive and take no effort to implement!
Honestly what I needed to watch right now! I’ve been using the three effective study methods from one of the videos you guys posted, but all the studying just goes down the drain when I can’t manage my time properly LOL. As always, thanks for the amazing and high-yield content, CKA!
Your videos are soo good. I don't have to find any other video related to how to study and stay motivated. Thanks for creating this video looking forward to see more videos for self- growth :)
I learnt a lot from you guys thanks for making such quality videos!
every piece of advice has been invaluable, thank you.
This
Is
Amazing
And also, the recreation of how to use that plan was stunning
I went into this saying, oh this is going to be like all the other videos, but i’ll watch it anyway because it’s short. Now, I’ve found a new system that I’m going to try!! I’ve been looking for one for such a long time, trying things like to do list apps and Notion that never end up working out for me. This is basically taking my current (not very useful in my opinion) system and making it MUCH better!! I’ve always struggled with time management, but i think this is going to help!
Timing yourself and then realizing that what tasks you could actually get done in a given timespan is like a superpower. It feels like you haven't really sacrificed anything to do the task but the things you can get done compound to something big.
Thank you so much. Finally somebody said it! I knew I wasn't the only one that noticed that some productivity tips are just not practical for students even though they work for others. Thanks for the student-friendly tips.
Very, very impressive 👍 adressing sudents directly and not giving overcomplicated or absurd tips that are not realistic for students, this video really helps. To be honest, it motivated me to schedule my day from now on and just be more productive. And with productivity, I do not mean, just thinking about it and buying a calendar, instead, I will do something now ;)
Thank you so much, this really helped me. I just started watching your videos and they were so good, helpful and efficient, I had to subscribe to your channel ❤
The most helpful vídeo i saw this year. Thanks and keep up the great work! 🙌
BRO THIS IS SO FLEXIBLE IM CRYING 😭
😭😭🔥
Everything is on point. Thanks for the crisp video man!
Thank you. I needed that. With all of these 'productivity' - time management things that i have seen i am just watching the videos and after 5 minutes i fortot everything and i am just continuing my day without doing anything of that because they are just to complex or not applicable for my life as a student.
this was the exact system i’ve been using my entire life, but it wasn’t working in university. turns out, i just needed to update my step 1 and modify it to how long it took me to do uni work (took me much longer than before). never thought of timing myself so thanks for the missing puzzle piece!
possibly the best and simplest methodology I've seen on RUclips!!! #respect
love your video they are so practical and no unwanted stuff going . Thank you so much for sharing ;)
A to-do-list app that I absolutely love is Stuff. It doesn't have any fancy features, it's pretty simplistic, but you use it as a widget, which is very useful for people who tend to just forget about the to-do lists they wrote (idk if that actually happens to other people too or if that's just a me phenomenon). It's directly on my homescreen, so I never forget about it
This was unbelievably helpful. Thank you! This was well made as well, looking from a camera and script perspective :) well done!
what i was doing wrong in my past two years of school was mentally restricting myself to my schedule, not giving myself even a minute of flexibility... (tsk, i'm not musk...) this always led to me being unable to go back on track, and easily giving up on my detailed schedule after a period of neglect
thanks for this video! the first two points were particularly important tips that i needed to hear
This is really goood!!! And actually helpful. One of the rare productivity videos that didn’t give me anxiety 😅❤️
Literally the absolute best thing for a struggling student. Wish I had found this sooner as a nursing student.
thank you for being realistic and finally I feel seen as a student.. great job
this video is REALLY perfect for students. i like it so much, it really can relate to us who are a student
That's the most value skill you learn in the first year of college ^^.
What really helped me to do, is writing down all the tasks that come up to remember it/don't forget something important. Than and just picking THREE of those/or an overall topic and do it throughout the day. But I choose it spontaneous when I just have time. In my head, I calculate what makes the most sense of these 3 in the moment. I actually didn't use specific tasks, mostly it was overall topics and also mandatory stuff like finishing/working on the assignment.
It helps starting something, what is the most challenging part. Three tasks is also a good way to trick your brain into thinking that it isn't that bad. Three Side-Tasks is actually the sweetspot for college students, you most likely can't finish more than 3 Topics next to the lecture I found out. You also showed it in the video :P. If you found out your finished all tasks faster than you thought, than you most likely be in the mood/flow for a forth task. I also like to cross down the Task, than I feel accomplished.
In the past I just used post-it's, but I'm currently programming an good looking app where you can use this concept and use it on the go. The basic App should be finished next week. It's mainly for personal use, but if someone is interested than I can send you the App. I also most likely upload it on the Playstore, because there its free and I don't plan to implement Ads or something. It could also run on iPhones, but 100€/year for uploading it to the Appstore that Apple charges is a little bit to much for a free App with no Ads ^^.
this is actually the first time that i find this kind of video useful as a student, great job
Appreciated that "summary" in the end, good job.
Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for creating this excellent series/channel!
Thank you for watching and supporting our content. 🙏🏼
I just started college at 23 and making the time as flexible as possible so you can easily rearrange things is so key here. It really helps to also know what things are flexible and what are not like assignments due and work compared to a study session
I've experienced how important having a flexible schedule is. Many times I would've just simply made an entire schedule for the week in which I had no spare time, and the toilet would broke, or someone would ask me for a favor that I couldn't say no, and by getting off the schedule I would at some point get exhausted and give up off the schedule for days or weeks. Getting track of your time and having due times is great, but I feel like a student I sometimes just need a time to sit on the couch and do nothing for hours. Give yourselves the maximum of free time to relax and do stuff you actually enjoy, it'll be easier to get your other stuff done consistently!
Thank you for this! 😇
Great video ! will try to implement the 5 points ! :D
thank you for making a point that students plans could be flexible :)
I like how the habit stacking technique from Atomic Habits is also incorporated here.... and that is just one example. I've read Essentialism, Deep Work and Atomic Habits and the things talked about here are just practical examples of how to implement it into a student-friendly routine. Liked your channel right after seeing these repeating aspects.
After many different attempts to manage my time, I also discovered this method and I must admit that it is working amazing (still doing it after 2 years). Even when sth happened and I stopped looking at my calendar for days - I always returned to it with no problem.
But since I get distracted pretty easily the only thing that I needed to add was a cork board with pinned the most important tasks for my work (and chores that I'm doing every week). This way I see what needs to be done with a glance and I can't escape from it xD
OMG thank you so much, such a good video, those were exactly my problems with all those self organizing videos :D
💜💜💜💜
Literally the most simplest and effective video ever i watched 😅
Pushing things to another day…. Literally 🤯 why didn’t I think of this. It’s ok not to get something done if it’s not the deadline for it💯💯🙏 Thank You!!
Instead of trying to plan everyday in advance, plan what you need to do that day and seriously get it done and then move on to the next.
Thanks for this video! After all the videos i`ve watched i would consider this one the best. And as an extra i really recomment to also sort the apps on your phone from most important to less important this really helped me to quickly find what i need without getting distracted with another app.👍
You guys are all I need to become better ❤️
Great video, thank u for this!
its a great video, i was searching like this from a long time
This one is pretty amazing and functional :) Thanks!
freakingly awesome and very easy to understand and very practical. thank you so much .
Thanks! I return to my MFT program tomorrow. This is timely and helpful!
This is the best video from Cajun Koi of all time!
wow man you explained it so simply
Love this guy and his idea!!!
Thankyou so much brother....it just made me realise why I wasn't able accomplish my goals even after so much of planning😅
This is such a good method! It took me literally YEARS to see my schedule as ✨flexible✨ instead of telling myself that not being able to complete the tasks I planned was the proof of my failure
Your channel is so valuable thank you so much for sharing your systems
I tried several systems from the "guru"s but everything felt unnecessarily complicated for my usage. I ended up converging into something similar to what you are suggesting :)
1) A quick note taking app for capturing
2) A system to organize the day
Happy to know that it is what works for most :)
Thank you a lot for your video your reduce the stress of being always productive I feel more comfortable after your video. I thing I am prepared for highsccol so thank you men !Great video
Great summary of Getting Things Done
I've been doing this method during my college days and afterwards. It did help me though. ❤
Cat.mike just explained the internal questions (atleast of mine) thats what's a real time management for a student!!!all amezing explanation [I guess,also happy birthday cpt.Mike sir 🌟]
Great tips; totally applicable to students.
Really need this so bad cause my daily plans were always so uptight and inflexible, and that really made me feel stressed whenever something unexpected come up.
Let’s keep working guys 💪🏻
Nice video btw
This is the second-most important skill you will use IRL after English. Thanks for the video!
omg- I needed this sm tysm ❤️❤️
