Finally, someone talking about the struggles different people might face. Life is not all rosy and perfect like most other youtubers talk about! Thank you, Vee. Really thankful for talking about the different circumstances people might face while at home.
Agree 🙌
So true
Outsmart them
Yeah very relatable
@Kenn Klein ur a bot bruh
You're so kind, Vee. You describing that many students live in not-so-great family and house conditions literally brought tears to my eyes. There are so many students who have ill (not covid) family members, there are students who live in small apartments with their families, who have to do most of the house chores, etc. And nobody really gives advice which would include all these students too besides the privileged ones. People don't really recognize their privileges deep down. Thank you for addressing these students, Vee. More power to you girl!
I love this. Not everything is black and white. People need to remember that...
Honestly, sometimes I get so disheartened when I see people on my Instagram stories in nice, normal households, dare I say, I even envy them. And I think the same as you; they don't realise HOW privileged they are. But gotta remind myself to be grateful, always. Many do not even have a roof over their heads; as hard and sad as it can be sometimes, I'm fortunate to have a roof- dysfunctional or not.
After all, we are studying to improve the quality of our lives. To live a good, decent, healthy life in the future. That thought is enough to keep me going. :)
@@nilab5341 those people also fake it most of the time… I had this friend and she always showed a perfect life on Instagram, but when I came over it was just crazy, so don’t believe everything
me: deleting twitter and facebook
also me: using mobile version on safari
oh GOD!!!!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!!
Why did you call me out like that
Try getting the focus app called "Forest"
It is for your phone and computer. You set a focus time and plant a virtual tree and if you leave the app then the tree dies. You can also plant with other people and if one of them kill their tree EVERYONE'S tree dies
SO ME
omg same 😩
2:20 😭😭😭 I told my mom to leave me alone once in my whole life and that was only because I had an essay crisis and had to stay up until late in the night and she proceeded to tell my family that I was being rude and disrespectful. Everybody in my house came to talk to me about my supposed 'behavior' and in the end we had a family meeting about respect. I'm just tired 😩
lol!!! i had a very similar experiences (plural)! just dont resent them. years later those memories are funny and after living alone for a while, i miss them very much. i remember thinking, i cant wait to get out of here or if i lived alone and worse if i had a different family. Now, we dont go days without talking to each other.
How did this just literally happen to me? I told my dad I needed to skip dinner once to finish an essay I forgot to do (totally my fault) and I think that was the biggest mistake ever. For the rest of the week lectures on respect and responsibilities were given almost everyday at the dinner table.
Omg I feel you you poor thing
They are so aggravating right now. I love them but I can’t do this right now lol
Desi household tease
"You can't even say that if you wanna live." Every African child ever😂
Even every Indian girl child ever
and a lot of asian families (including me xd)
Lol
And latino families as well ;-;
Every Italian child too 🌟🌟🌟
the easiest way to stop procrasting is to go the library..... oh damn
Not during lockdown 😹😹
Same happens in Indian Households "Your own time is not a thing" "Leaving you alone is not a thing"!!!Finally, God answered my prayers for a perfect procrastination tips video!!!!😭😭😭😭😭
I'm with u... Fellow Indian here
omg right!! like my family straight-up forget I'm doing a full-time placement. they expect me to do chores and always walk in when I have zoom meetings 😳
SO useful, appreciate the realness ✍️

I simplified this. But I suggest you to watch the video, Vee's content is always *bomb* . She shares a lot more than just these 10 tips.
1. Include your family/house chores in your daily routine.
2. Make a to-do list.
3. Do your study/work in some different places in the house.
4. Daily walk.
5. Drink plenty of water.
6. Put away the distraction, like physically. (also Vee use the Forest app!)
7. Study music.
8. Work smarter (so that you can have a break and not getting burnout easily)
9. Watch "study with me"s or study with friends via Zoom, Facetime.
10. Do your best, don't give up!
thank you
tysm God bless!!
Water literally circulates in every part of your body. Can’t emphasize the importance of water more🙌🏻 I’m a med student from Korea and I’ve been lacking motivation and ofc productivity these days and feeling extra guilty😢 Thanks for the inspiration!💕
Hi I'm also a med student. Just start doing, start studying and motivation will come i promise! Good luck!
너!! 와 대박 🤩
Me: procrastinating right now
Also me: Yay, Vee just uploaded a vid
I literally didn’t start doing my assignment until I watched your 2,500 essay in 5 hours. You’ve been so helpful, thank you 😭.
on avoiding social media: make yourself sign in and out of your account every time you open/close them. it's similar to deleting the app off your phone (but doesn't require a strong connection), in that it forces you to make a really conscious decision to spend your time there.
I do this!! It makes me re-evaluate if I really need to go on the app and risk wasting more time...most times I swipe out!
The part where vee said " Drink as much as possible" I remembered that Ramadan is right here and I wouldn't be able to drink during the day. XO. This really helped me.
You still can drink water in de Shohoor, haha :)
Thanks cause I really needed that too.
I usually wake up at 4 to cook sahuur, and drink 1 bottle of water and eat dates. my energy throughput the day is equal to someone who get complete meal! you probably already know these tips but i hope it helps :)
@@taalvandekoran3534 That is so true. And for Iftaar you just need to make sure your hydrated after.
@@Aliaahmedd Yes. You are right. Fasting has a lot of physical and spiritual benefits to us.
This is literally how it is for Asian households too(speaking from experience on my behalf may not be everyone just a disclaimer)
It's the same for Slavic households too, trust me 🙃
Yes, true :D
I mean the world already knows about our Asian work ethic I guess
I used to work on all of my essays in the library, cause I just can’t study in my accommodation room. I have four essays due on May and I haven’t started on even one of them. It’s really hard to concentrate at home with the libraries closed, but this video gave me a reality check. I’m gonna be more systematic and plan out my days to finish writing those essays!
4 essays!! Holy shit!!
Did you finish on time?
"how you can outsmart your own family" bahaha yess thanks for this vid Vee!!
"Living in in a household where saying Leave me alone means you don't want to live". 😂😂😂 I can relate.
I totally can relate to your African household. Peace and silence are myths 😭😭😭😭
Bruh 💔 🤦♀️😪
I’m working from home for the 7th week in a row. Just this week started implementing a 25+5 minute timer (not Forest, but I’m planning to switch over to that) for work, except instead of a fun break, I go do something useful for five minutes. Wipe a table, load the washing machine, sweep half of the kitchen. Then the rest of the day, I get to do whatever I want and don’t need to stress about cleaning. It’s a life-changer! I’m focusing on work much better, getting chores done, AND am much less stressed! I have a lot of vacation and temporary layoff time coming up, and I plan to implement and expand this system so I can actually get things done (reading, studying, even knitting) during my weeks off. I would definitely recommend both a good to-do list and a timer app to anyone, student or not.
im a third-year medical student, I failed my exam this year ( my first time failing an exam ever), I'm currently preparing for the resit exam on august, I've been finding it hard to deal with failure and to prepare for the exam under the current COVID 19 conditions, as I'm at home away, your videos are so helpful and motivating and I really love your personality, thank you for your effort and I hope you do well on your exams!
Girl, you shine. Like seriously you’re stunning and so down to earth. Total role model. Same for me, in my house I have to do all the chores while preparing for my finals. Also, there’s so much noise in my house because of my siblings.
fr !!
Vee is African. I am Indian.
Vee needs to do the chores. I am required to do chores.
Vee is vee. I am Vee.
Love the necklace,btw😜💖
😂😂😂what the
Same here..i Also have to conttribute to my house by doing some or the other chore
Same here! Latin American society still kind of relies in the women's role as a housemaid :/
Rocío González Meza same in south Asian culture :/
this was so timely; i really needed to watch this. i have been experiencing the fact that my time is SHARED living in an asian-centric household. it is truly a struggle to grasp my own time for school when i need to constantly help.
it was like you just reached across the screen and gave me a hug, engulfing me in peace. 😌 such an inspiration you are, vee! 🥰
Thank you so much for the video. I actually stopped watching productivity tips videos because of how unrealistic they are to be applied in my situation. Your perspective has opened up my mind to change myself because really, no one could change themselves solely to cater us. God bless you, Vee!
I relate with u on that african child not having their own time...
Thanks for the video
Promise I'll stop procrastinating
love from South Africa❤️
Im Brazilian and GIRL not only I have to do a bunch of house chores but I also have a brother that has autism and he wants to talk to me 24/7 (we only have 1 bedroom in the house) so I have to wake up REALLY early and be super silent while studying because if he wakes up he talks to me non stop... So thank you for this video a lot of youtubers out there just don't take people who don't have personal space at home in consideration when making these tipes of videos.❤😔
Girl, I'm not even in school anymore but had to 'like' before the 2:00 min mark. This was my lifeee! THANK YOU for bringing this realistic/unique perspective. Waking up early, keeping a schedule, and being creative is key!
I have been procrastinating now for over a week and my thesis is due in May. I just don’t have the motivation anymore. I am trying to find that motivation again to continue with my thesis. 😩😩😩
Just get things done. I wish you all the courage
@Nebula Blue thank you for this🥺 I needed it
I've been there for a while, lack of motivation is just horrible. One thing that have been efficient on me is thinking about all the regrets I'll have if I keep avoiding work, remember why you have to do that thesis, why you've been choosing those studies, there's obviously something that you like in them, just think about it, motivation will come, and when it'll come JUST DO THAT FU*KING THEISIS YOU GOT THIS
That's why you need to be disciplined
omg i thought I was the only one. My parent doesnt have to go out to work but i still have to do chores and help with younger siblings. I am in year 12 and I have assessments coming up which will form part of my predicted grade for uni but I just havent had any time to revise and they are in two weeks now. My mocks went horribly so I cannot have them to fall back on. Im so scared that I will get a rubbish grade cause the uni course I want to do is highly competitive. I cant tell my teachers that i couldnt revise cause I was cleaning and helping others with homework because that is such a poor excuse and what does it say about my priorities and dedication to my work, Plus im sure there are others who are in my position and have managed to still revise but coming from an asian household my family and school are both giving me so much anxiety
I hope you do well and I can't relate. I wish you all the best 💟💟
So sorry..I hope everything works out for you)
Just like Vee said, wake up earlier than your family, and do the most important tasks then, record your notes and listen to them when you're cleaning or cooking or whatever, make summaries of your notes on post-its and paste them on your mirror and cupboard and kitchen cabinets, in this way you can study when you're brushing your hair or cooking, don't sacrifice your sleep... Hope this helped
Don’t worry you got this. :) Btw you have mocks? Like the year 12 summer mocks which will be used for uni predictions? Are you doing it online?
This is so relatable !
I hope you are able to do everything well and won't stress too much .
Fighting! Lets do our best!
Thank you so much for this!! I feel like you really understand most people's situation, that are not able to only study when they are homee
Thank you for your realism :) I can relate to having a less 'perfect' environment when studying so i appreciate this a lot.
What an independent confidence you have, you girl. You try to help, you have the confidence to be yourself but also to make fun of yourself, I'm beyond grateful for who you are!!
I always procrastinate my works, e.g. the due date is tomorrow night and I will do it tomorrow. You have been helpful, Vee. Thanks for the video.
I'm kinda late here, but ...Woow giirll, the first one talkng about productivity while having difficult family situations!
I soo feel you, because in my eastern european country, we don't have this easy alone time either. Our parents ambush our rooms like crazy even if we sleep or having an online lecture and they don't care. They even can introduce themselves to our profesors and other students, like it's normal XDDD. And may God be with you, if you disrespect the family gatherings!
Some of them, like my mother, even wake up in 3am to come and tell you to go to sleep already and if you wake up earlier the next day, you'll be yelled at again, cause you destroyed your sleep schedule!!
It's really rough, but I'm glad I found your chanel through this video, it seems realy motivating and relatable for university students like me. Now I might just go and binge watch all your stuff!
How, and I mean HOW, did I only find this video TODAY?! The whole pandemic up until now was me basically arguing for time spend alone working to get my sh** done. Wow, just wow! What a brilliant and useful video!! I am in awe of your realism and empathy for struggling people.
Watching videos on how not to procrastinate instead of actually doing homework and studying says a lot about me as a person :(
Btw I really enjoyed the video :D
I totally get u... Exact same situation here...I'm never isolated from my family..u know u have to help them out with a lot of things..chores........i appreciate your honesty...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing a hardworking African woman.
School work gets overwhelming at times and having to have everything clean all the time just adds to it 😭
Never thought I would say this, but I miss the library so much 😭
me whilst watching vees video: omg yes I’m going to be SO motivated after this VERY last RUclips video on vees channel.
Also me seven hours in to watching my 100th video on vees channel: uhm.
I love the message at the end, so helpful given the circumstances! I’ve had good days and bad days, as have we all. But on bad days I just have to remind myself that it’s okay to have them.
omg, thank you, that's exactly my situation, I'm glad someone has posted their realistic routine and pointed out that not every student has perfect study environment
I feel like so many people don't understand listening to music while studying. It really helps me concentrate on the task at hand, so thanks for including this tip!
I’ve never been so early before! And at such perfect timing wow Vee I really needed this, thank you! Hope you are doing well and staying safe ❤️
Quarantine has me acting like school doesn't even exist anymore😭 I'm two assignments behind 😭
emma that’s not a lot
Samee😭😭
you don't know how much I am thankful for that .something realistic
Oh wow, I definitely need this video right now! Can’t wait to watch it.. You‘re such a motivational and inspirational person! I love watching your videos. Stay safe 💗
I can't say enough how nice it was for you to end by emphasizing that you may not be able to do much, or anything at all, and that's fine. I'm so tired of seeing people say that you now have time to do everything, that you should come out of this as a new and better person with all the life skills you need, simply because for a lot of us, this isn't the reality. Just getting through all essays now is a nightmare, and I'm dreading my exams so badly, because I know they might go really bad - and at the end of the day, that is fine in these circumstances.
So true. These aren't normal circumstances
Procrastinating by watching your videos on how not to procrastinate... I'm on whole new level of procrastination there 😯
Great video anyway, love it! 🎉
THANK YOU!!! I'm portuguese and I can relate to your situation so much. Chores, conflict, responsibilities with my sibling, driving my mother to and from work, sharing a room with my brother every other week (divorced parents), cooking every meal because I'm vegetarian... it's hard. Waking up before them has been my jam since early tennage years!
Your words are gold. It’s hard when I forget that these days are not easy. I keep going hard on myself so hearing you say that is a great reminder❤️
when you said African home i jumped off my chair and starting o'lord if only they knew.
Honestly chores is such a big part of my study life at home ‼️😂
I felt that‼️
omg vee thank you!!! This video is so so so relatable, finally someone who understands that we all live different realities!!!
Thank you for the kind words at the end! Although everybody around me is still healthy, I am not in the best place atm. So, what you said felt really encouraging.
Vee thank you sooo much for making this video. Being stuck in the house with my whole family, I really needed this. Thank you
Blessings!!! Thanks for acknowledging that everyone’s home life/commitments are different. This will definitely help people!
wow that was really cool,i'm most def gonna try the "study with me " and zoom with friends just studying..i've never thought of that!.thanks for the great tips'
I absolutely love this video, Vee always gives such helpful real advice and its really pleasing to see it recognised in the growth of subscribers she's gained. Keep up the amazing work Vee, you are incredible!
Thank you so much for this video. I related so much when you said you've watched SOOO many videos on how to be productive but they didn't really help much. Of course, I pick up a few tips and tricks, but nothing to help with the convenience of my schedule. The way you talked about each and every one of these tips was so realistic and applicable to whatever environment you're in. Thank you, thank you, can't say that enough!
Thank you Vee -- you are spot on with your tips! I also found the study music helpful to focus! Looking forward to when you write your book!
Thank you Vee, especially for acknowledging household responsibilities! Hope you’re doing well! 💛
I needed this Vee, especially the last bit 😭 Love you so much! 🥺❤️
I've gotten alot more spirit when I watched this. Thank you so much and stay safe🤗
Vee I literally HUGGED my phone because of my gratefulness to you!! THANK YOU xx
Thank you Vee! I appreciate your efficient and positive content. Keep up the great work! I will continue to support you!
Thank u so much for this video. I really like that u address the fact of family and household commitments because I especially now feel like that distracts me a lot ! Love ur videos u always motivate me 🥰
just the intro to this video was so relatable oh my daysss. I've been struggling sooo much to balance the chores, family time and my work. Thank you
You can't even say "leave me alone" if you wanna live. OMG TRUTH 😂😂 Can't wait to when everything will go back to normal so I can move back out😂
The last few sentences are exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thanks so much!!!
Ty!! Ur the only person. That has made a video so relatable
Thanks for the encouragement!! I’m loving your videos
The thing is,
I don't feel like going back to studying after doing a chore,
my brain tricks me to thinking that I deserve the procrastinating break.
wow this left on such an amazing and warm message, and I genuinely felt that in my heart:')
Thanks for the tips and motivation, wishing you the best!
This was so so helpful Vee! Atfer like 4 hours of trying to figure out how to stop procrastinating, all I needed was this video!!
THANK YOU!! omg this is so helpful I spend so many hours of my day doing chores that I find most common advice not really practical so thank you for this video
I was not looking for this but I'm so glad I found it, I absolutely love your channel :)
Thank you Vee! I am a Mum of two children and also studying for a post grad course so working around the family is key, particularly now, whilst home schooling!!!
ive been watching the wrong procrastination fixing videos my whole life... Thank you so much for this video Vee!!!
You're so cute for making this video it's honestly so needed x
in the end of the video... girl... you touched my soul! thank you for such lovely words of self love. sending you kisses from brazil (discovered your channel today)
Wow! I just realized how much i needed the study with me! Thank you so so much❤️
Love your different perspective. I really appreciate these relatable tips.
Two minutes into the video and I can relate like hell 😭😭😭
Amazing video! I appreciate you stating and making a video for those that do not have the laid back households in which they can just hide away alone. I am a student, but I am also a mother so I do not have the same leeway with locking myself away to be productive.
V this was SUPER helpful !!! I really really needed to see this rn . Thank you ❤️
best video i watched all week. i was really needing it.
I have watched a lot of your videos literally at midnight despite my sleepiness and I felt sooooo inspired to bounce back in studying. I have been trying different study methods which all worked at the beginning but eventually got me tired and bored. After watching your videos, I really learned a lot and I knew that the method you just showed was the one I have been looking for my whole life. I just have to adopt it according to my own lifestyle, learning style, etc. And I just want to let you know how humble and inspiring you are ❤️ I have just found someone who can give study tips that are realistic and effective. New subscriber and fan here 🙋🏼♀️
Awesome video! Its great to see someone who is not so close minded towards peoples struggles. Thanks for the perspective. Keep it up!
Brilliant tips, Vee. I like the idea of having to-do lists and taking a break every now and then to refresh yourself physically and mentally. That's a great form of self-care.
Thank you so much, I really needed this~ you’re really motivating and inspiring, keep it up 🙃
Thank you so much for being honest. We appreciate it SO MUCH!!
Thank you so much for these tips, Vee! I'm a university student living with my Portuguese immigrant parents in the UK so the concept of personal time is definitely not a thing, but these tips were definitely very helpful. I hope you stay safe!
This video brings huge comfort for me & reminded me that we’re all going thru similar things around the world. I’m Polynesian & understand the struggle of having a lot to do before even thinking about yourself & studies 😭 I homeschool my brother, take care of the household, I’ve become a counsellor, a fitness trainer, take charge of our daily routine lists so we’re all on the same page, take meetings to touch base with my family at home. It’s been tiring & I’m feeling myself slow down where I’m not taking care of myself mentally, ill get thru but I just wanted to say thank you for keeping it real & reminding us all this is a stressful time but also tips on how we can better our day or work around mini obstacles of our surroundings. Keep safe Vee❤️🌸
I needed someone to make a video like this. thank you!
Love the practicality and honesty of this video. Thank you for the advice! Deffo needed! Xx
I don't usually comment on any videos on RUclips, but, girl, your videos are amazing! You are so real and relatable and I just love your personality! Keep doing what your doing
