  1. 0:00It’s 7:30 PM, you were supposed to
  2. 0:01catch up on your studying today, get
  3. 0:03ahead on the next tutorial, and learn
  4. 0:05your flashcards, but you realize
  5. 0:07you’ve spent the whole day scrolling
  6. 0:09again. So, once again, you feel that
  7. 0:10knot of guilt in your stomach. You are
  8. 0:13angry with yourself. You insult
  9. 0:14yourself, you feel pathetic, and you
  10. 0:16swear on your life that you won't do
  11. 0:18the same thing tomorrow.
  12. 0:19>> I swear it.
  13. 0:20>> But tomorrow, it’s exactly the same.
  14. 0:22So, you think you’re addicted to your
  15. 0:23phone and that your brain is broken.
  16. 0:25But before I became a doctor and
  17. 0:26coached over 130 students through their
  18. 0:28first-year exams, I was just like you.
  19. 0:30I spent my days playing Dofus. When I
  20. 0:32got home from high school, I’d throw
  21. 0:34my bag in the hallway, and believe me,
  22. 0:36it wouldn't move an inch because I was
  23. 0:38too busy spending my evenings grinding
  24. 0:40the latest Assassin's Creed on my Xbox.
  25. 0:41Yet, in my first year of medical school
  26. 0:43, I started my revision at 6:00 AM with
  27. 0:45genuine pleasure. I didn't need to take
  28. 0:47my phone and throw it in a box at the
  29. 0:49bottom of the ocean like it was the One
  30. 0:50Piece treasure, because I simply didn't
  31. 0:52want to touch it. I was so focused on
  32. 0:54learning that I even read history books
  33. 0:56in the evening to relax from my day of
  34. 0:58studying. So in this video, I’m going
  35. 1:01to explain why you still fall into the
  36. 1:03social media trap even though you
  37. 1:04really want to succeed this year. The
  38. 1:07solution to developing a real obsession
  39. 1:08with your courses and the complete
  40. 1:10protocol to make you so addicted to
  41. 1:11work that they’ll rename the library
  42. 1:13after you as a tribute. But before we
  43. 1:16tackle the protocol, you need to
  44. 1:18understand the real problem behind your
  45. 1:19phone addiction. You can try dopamine
  46. 1:24resets and take cold showers while
  47. 1:26listening to motivational speeches all
  48. 1:27you want. When you decide to become the
  49. 1:29best version of yourself, something is
  50. 1:31going to happen.
  51. 1:34>> You always fall back into scrolling
  52. 1:35instead of crushing the biochemistry
  53. 1:37course that’s wearing you down. But
  54. 1:39if you think it’s because of your
  55. 1:40phone, you’re wrong. Otherwise, you
  56. 1:42wouldn't still be cleaning your room or
  57. 1:44organizing your PDFs instead of
  58. 1:45studying when it’s turned off. We
  59. 1:47could put you in a white room with
  60. 1:49nothing but your chapter, your desk,
  61. 1:50and a chair. You’d still find a way
  62. 1:52to doodle and get lost in your own
  63. 1:54thoughts. If you were really addicted
  64. 1:56to your phone, then why are you able to
  65. 1:57easily do without it when you're in the
  66. 1:59middle of a deeply profound discussion
  67. 2:01with loved ones, having a great time
  68. 2:02with your best friends, or finally
  69. 2:04playing the video games you’ve been
  70. 2:05hyped for for months? In reality, your
  71. 2:07phone is just a symptom of a much
  72. 2:09deeper problem. And the real problem is
  73. 2:11that you aren't getting enough pleasure
  74. 2:13out of your classes. Activities don't
  75. 2:19have a fixed value of happiness; they
  76. 2:21all have a relative level of happiness.
  77. 2:24Look, when you have a choice between
  78. 2:26two actions, action 1 and action 2, you
  79. 2:27will always go for the one that gives
  80. 2:29you the most pleasure, the one that
  81. 2:31carries the most weight on the scale.
  82. 2:34Scrolling isn't inherently good or bad.
  83. 2:36It just gives you more pleasure than
  84. 2:38cleaning your room, exercising, or
  85. 2:40going to crush the CRPS cycle. So, you
  86. 2:43look for solutions to get away from
  87. 2:44your phone and everyone gives you
  88. 2:46advice on how to reduce your screen
  89. 2:48time based on self-flagellation,
  90. 2:49deleting all your apps, dopamine
  91. 2:51detoxes, or apps where a little tree
  92. 2:53grows based on how much time you spend
  93. 2:54on your phone. But if you don't like
  94. 2:56your classes, you can force yourself as
  95. 2:58much as you want. You will never last
  96. 2:59long enough to succeed in a full year
  97. 3:01of competitive exams. Even if your
  98. 3:03phone gives you a happiness score of 1
  99. 3:05instead of 100, if your classes give
  100. 3:07you a happiness score of zero, then it
  101. 3:09will still be superior. You will always
  102. 3:11reach for your phone. So what we want
  103. 3:13to do is reverse the trend. We want to
  104. 3:15increase the pleasure of classes and
  105. 3:16decrease that of the phone. Except that
  106. 3:19if you mindlessly try to increase your
  107. 3:20happiness with classes, you will
  108. 3:22quickly be blocked by an impassable
  109. 3:24limit. We all know people who are
  110. 3:28extremely passionate about a subject.
  111. 3:30Those who collect astronomy books, who
  112. 3:32read at night without rest, listen to
  113. 3:33interviews with physicists, and
  114. 3:35genuinely treat it like a hobby. They
  115. 3:38can spend sleepless nights diving deep
  116. 3:39into a subject that you find boring as
  117. 3:41hell, and they don't make any effort to
  118. 3:43get to work. In fact, it’s not even "
  119. 3:45work" for them. So, you might say it
  120. 3:47should be enough to find a way to reach
  121. 3:49that level of passion, but for your
  122. 3:50classes. Believe me, I've gone through
  123. 3:52every book on the subject, every video,
  124. 3:54every podcast; I've tried everything,
  125. 3:56and it's almost impossible to
  126. 3:58voluntarily become passionate about a
  127. 4:00subject like that on demand. It's a mix
  128. 4:02of personal history, upbringing, even
  129. 4:04genetics and life events. But that’s
  130. 4:07a good thing because that’s not your
  131. 4:08goal. You just want to feel much more
  132. 4:10pleasure when you study than when you
  133. 4:12scroll. So, the first step is to ask
  134. 4:14yourself a very important question. Do
  135. 4:16you like biochemistry, or math, or
  136. 4:17biophysics? Usually, the answer is,
  137. 4:20well, no, not really. You’re highly
  138. 4:21likely to be bad at these subjects.
  139. 4:23There are too many details, too many
  140. 4:25concepts to understand. It’s all over
  141. 4:27the place, it’s unpleasant. They’re
  142. 4:28talking to you about sphingo, lipid,
  143. 4:30phosph, what? In short, you don't like
  144. 4:32biochem. So you are bad at it. But
  145. 4:34that’s where you’re wrong. The
  146. 4:35subject isn't the problem, your level
  147. 4:37is. You're bad at biochem, so you don't
  148. 4:40like it. And there again, you’re
  149. 4:42wrong. What you don’t like isn't the
  150. 4:44subject. It’s experiencing that
  151. 4:45unpleasant moment where you really feel
  152. 4:47bad at it. That blow to your ego where
  153. 4:48you feel stupid in front of your
  154. 4:50coursework. You’re not good, so it
  155. 4:52hurts you and you hate that feeling.
  156. 4:54Biochem has absolutely nothing to do
  157. 4:56with this. So, that’s good news
  158. 4:58because conversely, it means we don't
  159. 4:59become good at a subject because we
  160. 5:01like it. We like it because we become
  161. 5:03good at it. So if becoming good at
  162. 5:05biochem creates happiness for you. Then
  163. 5:06we can understand that the happiness
  164. 5:08doesn't come from the subject itself,
  165. 5:09it comes from the fact that you’re
  166. 5:10becoming good. True happiness comes
  167. 5:12from the feeling of progression. What
  168. 5:14keeps high-level athletes going, even
  169. 5:16though they have a very precise and
  170. 5:17difficult life, is beating their
  171. 5:19previous time, lifting heavier than
  172. 5:21last time, crushing an opponent who
  173. 5:22humiliated you a few months ago. We are
  174. 5:29programmed to progress. It’s in our
  175. 5:31DNA. That’s why in our coaching
  176. 5:33program, we treat students like
  177. 5:34high-level athletes with experts in
  178. 5:36methodology, lifestyle, nutrition,
  179. 5:38sports, mindset, and sleep to turn them
  180. 5:40into war machines before their exams.

  184. 5:48Wait a minute, we’re onto something
  185. 5:49here. Regardless of your current level,
  186. 5:52you will become addicted to studying if
  187. 5:54you create a constant sense of
  188. 5:55progression. So, I'm going to give you
  189. 5:58a complete protocol to put in place
  190. 6:00starting today that allowed me to stay
  191. 6:02glued to my books. But you might not
  192. 6:04follow it because of several dramatic
  193. 6:06errors that still hold back 90%of
  194. 6:08students. To understand the traps to
  195. 6:13avoid, you first need to ask yourself
  196. 6:15what it means to make progress. Well,
  197. 6:17making progress means having a starting
  198. 6:19situation, looking toward a goal, and
  199. 6:21overcoming difficulties. With every
  200. 6:24difficulty, you improve yourself. You
  201. 6:26encounter the next one and you improve
  202. 6:28yourself. And so on, again and again
  203. 6:31and again, until you reach your goal.
  204. 6:34Without forgetting the icing on the
  205. 6:36cake that ensures you can maintain this
  206. 6:37system over the long term. You neglect
  207. 6:39it too much and I will also explain
  208. 6:41that to you right after. But right now,
  209. 6:43you need to understand that at every
  210. 6:44part of the progression, you're doing
  211. 6:46things all wrong. For example, I had a
  212. 6:47student at the beginning of my coaching
  213. 6:49who came to see me saying, "Listen
  214. 6:50Nasser, everything is going wrong, it's
  215. 6:52a disaster. I'm depressed because of my
  216. 6:54current results. I look at her grades:
  217. 6:5515/20 in anatomy, 17 in cell bio, 13 in
  218. 6:57biophysics, 14 in biochemistry, and a
  219. 6:59little 7 in chemistry that she just got
  220. 7:01today. So when I showed her the list of
  221. 7:03results, it immediately calmed her down
  222. 7:04. In fact, the problem was that she
  223. 7:06didn't have a good perception of
  224. 7:07reality. And it's the same thing for
  225. 7:09you. You have what's called a
  226. 7:10negativity bias that makes you focus
  227. 7:12your attention on the negative points.
  228. 7:15Except that your perception of reality
  229. 7:17influences your actions. If you are
  230. 7:19super stressed, you might change your
  231. 7:21revision schedule at the last minute,
  232. 7:22even when it wasn't necessary, or you
  233. 7:24might be so depressed and afraid that
  234. 7:26you'll be paralyzed and not work at all
  235. 7:28today. And then, your actions influence
  236. 7:30your results. So, we can say that your
  237. 7:32perception of reality indirectly
  238. 7:34influences your results. To have a good
  239. 7:37sense of progress, one of the first
  240. 7:39steps is to suppress subjective
  241. 7:40perception as much as possible to
  242. 7:42replace it with objective data. Stop
  243. 7:44saying" I'm behind, I haven't mastered
  244. 7:46my lessons. "Instead, you note
  245. 7:48everything, you track everything, you
  246. 7:50transform emotions into numbers, lists,
  247. 7:52and curves. But having data here is
  248. 7:54good, but you won't go far if you don't
  249. 7:56have a real goal. And here again,
  250. 7:58you're doing everything wrong. You
  251. 8:00think passing your year is a goal, but
  252. 8:02in reality," succeeding "is far too
  253. 8:04vague. What does that even mean? What
  254. 8:06does it imply? What does it require?
  255. 8:08Does it give you any concrete actions
  256. 8:10to take? That's why you’re lost today
  257. 8:11. You start your day knowing you have
  258. 8:13tons to do, but you don't even know
  259. 8:14where to begin. In the end, you do
  260. 8:16nothing. Instead, you must reason from
  261. 8:18the long term down to the daily, with
  262. 8:20measurable goals. You go from" I want
  263. 8:22to be a top student. "" Ah, what does
  264. 8:24that mean? "Well, it means being in the
  265. 8:27top 10%for the year overall. It means
  266. 8:29getting as close as possible to the top
  267. 8:3110%in the school. So if I want to reach
  268. 8:33the top 10%, where do I stand today?
  269. 8:35What are my weaknesses? Where am I
  270. 8:37falling behind? I must cover X lessons
  271. 8:39a day, I must do Y reviews. With every
  272. 8:41review, I must increase by Z points. We
  273. 8:44create a causal link between the yearly
  274. 8:46goal and the daily objective. If I want
  275. 8:49to succeed this year, what must I do
  276. 8:51today? But even once you have those
  277. 8:52goals, you still stop yourself from
  278. 8:54reaching them because of your fear of
  279. 8:56difficulty. Progressing means learning
  280. 8:58from your mistakes, but you can't make
  281. 9:00mistakes if you dodge the lessons that
  282. 9:01give you trouble and hide in the
  283. 9:03subjects you already master. Later,
  284. 9:05during coaching, you come tell me," I'm
  285. 9:07waiting to master my lesson before
  286. 9:09doing exercises. "But that’s not a
  287. 9:11strategy, that’s fear. And more
  288. 9:12importantly, you haven't understood a
  289. 9:14rule that is fundamental. You don't do
  290. 9:16exercises once you master your lessons.
  291. 9:18You do exercises to master your lessons
  292. 9:21. So, difficulties are meant to be
  293. 9:23faced, not bypassed. If you don't
  294. 9:25practice, you can't collect data. You
  295. 9:26can't collect data, you have no
  296. 9:28progress. If you have no progress, you
  297. 9:30have no pleasure. If you have no
  298. 9:31pleasure, you have no studying. Apply
  299. 9:33this and you’ll already have a much
  300. 9:34better chance of enjoying your studies.
  301. 9:36But before really tackling the protocol
  302. 9:38, you must ensure you can last over
  303. 9:39time. And a reward system is the icing
  304. 9:41on the cake that most students still
  305. 9:43forget all too often. Yet, I've said it
  306. 9:45many times in my videos, but when I'm
  307. 9:47on video calls with students, I realize
  308. 9:48that, in fact, you hate yourselves. If
  309. 9:50you get a bad grade today, well, it's
  310. 9:51your own fault. That's because you're
  311. 9:53no good. However, when you get a good
  312. 9:55grade, well, suddenly, no, it's not
  313. 9:56representative, I just got lucky. The
  314. 9:58tutoring quizzes are harder than the
  315. 10:00prep course ones. The professors won't
  316. 10:01do it the same way. When you suffer
  317. 10:03from morning to night, studying from 6
  318. 10:05a.m. to 10 p.m., then you say you had a
  319. 10:06good day. Then you say," Ah, I really
  320. 10:08suffered, that means I worked hard. "
  321. 10:10But when you're ultra-productive,
  322. 10:11you're in a flow and you manage to
  323. 10:12finish your day 3 hours early, well
  324. 10:14then you think there's a problem. It's
  325. 10:15weird, it was too easy. Maybe I didn't
  326. 10:17work properly. Well, you're going to
  327. 10:19burn out if you keep going like that.
  328. 10:20Start by rewarding yourself for every
  329. 10:22victory, even a small one, like a good
  330. 10:24rank in a mock oral or when you've
  331. 10:25understood a difficult lesson. Even
  332. 10:27just when you've finished your schedule
  333. 10:28without falling behind. If you study
  334. 10:30from morning to night, back to the
  335. 10:31window, seeing no one, with zero social
  336. 10:33interaction, no hobbies, no sports, you
  337. 10:35can't be surprised when you end up
  338. 10:37depressed long before the exam. You're
  339. 10:38depressed because you have a depressing
  340. 10:40life. Your mental state is part of your
  341. 10:42study system. Then, at some point, well
  342. 10:44, you want to get even better results.
  343. 10:46So, you start working a little more.
  344. 10:48You neglect your health and lifestyle a
  345. 10:50bit more, you neglect your diet, sports
  346. 10:52, sleep, and all that. In the end, it
  347. 10:54becomes a vicious cycle because your
  348. 10:56results drop, so you want to work even
  349. 10:58harder. Even if you know it's
  350. 10:59counterproductive, you force yourself a
  351. 11:01bit and continue working even more,
  352. 11:03neglecting your health even further,
  353. 11:04and ultimately getting even worse
  354. 11:06results. So, you end up working even
  355. 11:08more. In the end, it turned into a kind
  356. 11:10of burnout where, by the end of the
  357. 11:11first semester, I couldn't work at all
  358. 11:13anymore. When I read a sentence, I
  359. 11:14couldn't even remember the beginning of
  360. 11:16it because I was so tired, mentally
  361. 11:17exhausted, and it happened during the
  362. 11:19revision period and everything. So, I
  363. 11:20wasn't able to do my study period
  364. 11:22optimally. I wasn't even able to do it
  365. 11:24at all because I had to rest all day. I
  366. 11:26couldn't I couldn't even read my
  367. 11:27subjects, you know.
  368. 11:29>> So don't neglect it when you start the
  369. 11:30protocol. If you recognized yourself
  370. 11:35several times in this video, it means
  371. 11:36you're probably not having a good time
  372. 11:38studying right now. Don't forget that
  373. 11:39you can book an appointment with us.
  374. 11:40Follow the link in the description.
  375. 11:42We'll take stock of your goals, where
  376. 11:44you're at right now, what's holding you
  377. 11:45back, and how we could help you succeed
  378. 11:47this year. Now is the time to go from a
  379. 11:49student glued to their phone to a
  380. 11:50student addicted to their studies. And
  381. 11:52for that, you need to work on two
  382. 11:54fronts. The first will be reducing the
  383. 11:56pleasure you get from social media. And
  384. 11:59the second will be increasing the
  385. 12:00pleasure you get from studying through
  386. 12:02a sense of progress. The first is to
  387. 12:04avoid going cold turkey. I know that on
  388. 12:06social media, it's trendy to be
  389. 12:08sensationalist, where people change
  390. 12:09everything all of a sudden and become a
  391. 12:11different person. But the reality is
  392. 12:13that the more brutal a change is, the
  393. 12:15less sustainable it is. Actually, treat
  394. 12:17yourself as if you were your own caring
  395. 12:19older brother. There's no need to
  396. 12:20delete all your apps, take your phone,
  397. 12:22and throw it to the bottom of the ocean
  398. 12:24, but rather, before each scroll
  399. 12:25session, ask yourself four questions.
  400. 12:27What am I running from? What am I
  401. 12:29looking for? What is this really going
  402. 12:31to bring me? And is it worth it? Write
  403. 12:33all that down in a notebook and keep a
  404. 12:35record with the time and date. The goal
  405. 12:37is to have less and less temptation
  406. 12:39over time and fewer and fewer setbacks.
  407. 12:42You already have a starting foundation,
  408. 12:44and therefore a first source of
  409. 12:45progress. As for increasing pleasure
  410. 12:47with your coursework, you should apply
  411. 12:48this eight-step protocol. 1, you lay
  412. 12:50the foundations for data collection, a
  413. 12:53single, simple source where you can
  414. 12:55track your grades subject by subject,
  415. 12:57lesson by lesson, in the finest detail
  416. 12:59and even for every touchpoint. With my
  417. 13:01students, we know what grade they got,
  418. 13:03at what review session, their grade
  419. 13:05based on the reviews, the time spent
  420. 13:06each time, and the number of
  421. 13:07multiple-choice questions. The second
  422. 13:09step is to objectify your baseline
  423. 13:11level. If you haven't kept your
  424. 13:12previous grades in mind, from now on,
  425. 13:14you're going to do a proper QCM session
  426. 13:17for all past and new courses to know
  427. 13:19exactly where you stand. Third step,
  428. 13:21you are going to define real,
  429. 13:22achievable goals in a cascade. Where do
  430. 13:24you stand compared to the class right
  431. 13:26now? What do you need to achieve? What
  432. 13:28are the prospects for progress week by
  433. 13:29week? And so, what actions need to be
  434. 13:31put in place to reach these goals? The
  435. 13:344th step is to finally set up a real
  436. 13:36recall system with missions for each
  437. 13:38review and use the ECR method:
  438. 13:40exercises, correction, and targeted
  439. 13:42review. The 5th step is to participate
  440. 13:44in every" colle "(oral exam) as if your
  441. 13:46life depended on it. You don't skip a
  442. 13:48single one. You are systematically up
  443. 13:49to date for every mock exam, every
  444. 13:51chance to measure yourself against
  445. 13:52others. In my first year, I was
  446. 13:54hospitalized with knees like this, with
  447. 13:56inflammation in several joints. I
  448. 13:58forced the doctor, who didn't want me
  449. 13:59to move, to give me permission to leave
  450. 14:01so I could go to my evening exam on
  451. 14:03crutches; nothing was going to stop me.
  452. 14:04If I'm not dead, I'm going. So, how
  453. 14:06come you're coming here?" Oh, I didn't
  454. 14:08study, so I'm not going. "But are you
  455. 14:10crazy? The 6th step is to choose a
  456. 14:12rival. It could be someone imaginary,
  457. 14:13but ideally, it's someone you know in
  458. 14:15the same class as you. Or if you're in
  459. 14:17a university with a named ranking. You
  460. 14:18can do like I did back then; I chose
  461. 14:20someone who was 20 places ahead of me.
  462. 14:22Let's say, Clément. Clément, I don't
  463. 14:23know you, but at the next exam, you're
  464. 14:25going down. And once you've beaten
  465. 14:27Clément, you go after Nassim, Lucas,
  466. 14:29Émeline, anyone you want. The 7th step
  467. 14:31is to set up a damn reward system.
  468. 14:32Every night, we need decompression time
  469. 14:34. For every success, we personally
  470. 14:36congratulate our students. I don't know
  471. 14:38, plan a movie, a restaurant, see
  472. 14:40friends you haven't seen since high
  473. 14:41school. That's not wasted time; it's
  474. 14:43time invested. The 8th step is that
  475. 14:45every night, you must take real stock
  476. 14:47of your current situation. You must
  477. 14:49observe your progress every day, even
  478. 14:51when it is minimal. You look at every
  479. 14:53line, you set goals for yourself, and
  480. 14:55you compare today's results to
  481. 14:56yesterday's. And it's really important
  482. 14:58to do it every day because at the
  483. 14:59beginning, you'll have micro-wins that
  484. 15:01you'll need to go after if you want to
  485. 15:02keep progressing. But to do that, you
  486. 15:04need an excellent review system like I
  487. 15:06told you, with missions and the ECR
  488. 15:08method to improve over time without
  489. 15:10being buried under reviews. I explain
  490. 15:12in detail how it works in this video.
  491. 15:14Basically, you'll finally understand
  492. 15:16why you're getting overwhelmed by
  493. 15:18reviews.
