    If I'm gonna be honest, this video would be really helpful for a normal person. It's like having a study buddy.
    But I'm not normal and I just kept thinking about how Thomas is a very attractive human.

  • @Thomasfrank
    @Thomasfrank  8 лет назад +1181

    A lot of the same questions keep being asked, so I'll put the answers to all of them here:
    "What were you studying?"
    In this session I was taking notes on how memory works. I also spent the last part of the session doing some freewriting in preparation for developing a script on that topic.
    "Aren't you done with college?"
    Yes - but I never stop learning and neither should you ;) - I don't need to study for exams, but my job is to learn about complex topics and boil them down into content that's both helpful and entertaining, which means I need to understand them well enough to pull out the most relevant parts.
    "What were you listening to?"
    I was listening to my Ultimate Study Music playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLx65qkgCWNJIs3FPaj8JZhduXSpQ_ZfvL - more music options are in the description.
    "How can you study with music?"
    My playlist is curated to only contain music that helps me focus. Here are my thoughts on studying with music: ruclips.net/video/S5_APAxM5Lg/видео.html
    "What do you do during breaks?"
    Typically I'll go walk around, get some water, and maybe get a snack. I try to avoid checking social media or randomly browsing the internet. My next video will be all about how to take effective breaks :)
    "Can you do more of these videos in the future?"
    I'll definitely consider at least doing a 45-minute version at some point in the future!

    • @anniehall2737
      @anniehall2737 8 лет назад +2

      I wasn't sitting here studying with the video on anyway and if you want to do that you can always just not look at the video (which you wouldn't be doing anyway if you're actually studying).

    My brain: "this is brilliant, get to work."
    Me: "what if I look down and he looks up."
    " I wonder what he's writing, that's a big book wonder what subject it is."
    " Is that a Starbucks christmas cup... I need a latte."
    " what does his shirt say... nevermind I can't read it."
    " the face on his computer creeps me out."
    " what? 20 minutes have gone by. I should study."
    Studies for 5 minutes.
    " heck yeah, i've been so productive."

    As ridiculous as you think this was. It actually helped a lot because, I don't generally like studying with people I know because I can never shut up. So I just study alone, which means that I lose out on that very productive environment that makes you want to work, but because you were productive I felt like I had to be productive and I was less distracted. Thank you! :)

    Having this playing fullscreen in the background gives me more initiative to study so I find this and the countdown timer extremely helpful. Thanks :)

    Coming from someone with little motivation to pursue daily goals, this video helped me immensely to study for my AP history class, hope to see more of these in the future!
    Break time over, back to studying!

    When I first saw this in my feed I was like "dude, really?" but here I am having looked it up to boost through the last bit of reading for today

  • @hufflepuffgoth9741
    @hufflepuffgoth9741 8 лет назад

    I think this is amazing for people like me who can't stop procrastinating and are so very restless while studying.....like daily you sit with someone you look up too, while you gain confidence in the fact you have a chance :)

    I watched this for 5 mins before the guilt got to me and I started doing study that I had been avoiding. Simple idea but really effective 👍

    This video has been accompanying me since I was still in my undergraduate study 2016 - 2020 and now I'm planning to pursue my master degree and going back to this video while doing preparations feels so nostalgic 🥺

  • @mervenovan
    @mervenovan 8 лет назад

    When I first saw the video I was like: "Really? He actually recorded himself just doing that?" Then I realized omg this makes me focus so much it's like actually studying with someone in the library (which I can never go there so I love it) :D No room for distraction. Thanks a lot for this!

  • @TheOnePath570
    @TheOnePath570 8 лет назад

    i love it, i guess it's just nice and encouraging to see someone else doing it (studying)... normalises the process and makes it less trivial in a paradoxical way.

    'Time for a break!'
    But what to do in the break?
    Watch some videos on RUclips?
    Scroll through facebook newsfeed?

    • @sevilay4543
      @sevilay4543 8 лет назад +101

      Ahmed Belkhir I'd never open Facebook or RUclips during a break. It's dangerous, I get in this never ending loop of video suggestions that I'll watch and then time flies by so fast. I'd rather spend my break going outside to get some fresh air, eating, doing minor household chores like emptying the dishwasher, turning up the music and dancing to a few songs, planning what I'm going to eat or write a grocery list, drawing or writing in my journal... Just do something that gets your mind off your study subject for a couple of minutes without those things being so distracting that you can't stop. Then it's easier to get back to studying once your break is over.

      Thomas frank would probably tell you to not engage in other distractive task or “low density fun,” (he uses in his 10 step for earning awesome grades) especially during a break period.
      I think it eas Cal Newport that talks about the benefit of not engaging in anything, but to simply appreciate a moment to emptiness or silent or to appreciate doing nothing and taking a break or to disengage with distractions and your task
