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

- 5:45below in the description. Click, click.
- 5:48Wait a minute, we’re onto something
- 5:49here. Regardless of your current level,
- 5:52you will become addicted to studying if
- 5:54you create a constant sense of
- 5:55progression. So, I'm going to give you
- 5:58a complete protocol to put in place
- 6:00starting today that allowed me to stay
- 6:02glued to my books. But you might not
- 6:04follow it because of several dramatic
- 6:06errors that still hold back 90%of
- 6:08students. To understand the traps to
- 6:13avoid, you first need to ask yourself
- 6:15what it means to make progress. Well,
- 6:17making progress means having a starting
- 6:19situation, looking toward a goal, and
- 6:21overcoming difficulties. With every
- 6:24difficulty, you improve yourself. You
- 6:26encounter the next one and you improve
- 6:28yourself. And so on, again and again
- 6:31and again, until you reach your goal.
- 6:34Without forgetting the icing on the
- 6:36cake that ensures you can maintain this
- 6:37system over the long term. You neglect
- 6:39it too much and I will also explain
- 6:41that to you right after. But right now,
- 6:43you need to understand that at every
- 6:44part of the progression, you're doing
- 6:46things all wrong. For example, I had a
- 6:47student at the beginning of my coaching
- 6:49who came to see me saying, "Listen
- 6:50Nasser, everything is going wrong, it's
- 6:52a disaster. I'm depressed because of my
- 6:54current results. I look at her grades:
- 6:5515/20 in anatomy, 17 in cell bio, 13 in
- 6:57biophysics, 14 in biochemistry, and a
- 6:59little 7 in chemistry that she just got
- 7:01today. So when I showed her the list of
- 7:03results, it immediately calmed her down
- 7:04. In fact, the problem was that she
- 7:06didn't have a good perception of
- 7:07reality. And it's the same thing for
- 7:09you. You have what's called a
- 7:10negativity bias that makes you focus
- 7:12your attention on the negative points.
- 7:15Except that your perception of reality
- 7:17influences your actions. If you are
- 7:19super stressed, you might change your
- 7:21revision schedule at the last minute,
- 7:22even when it wasn't necessary, or you
- 7:24might be so depressed and afraid that
- 7:26you'll be paralyzed and not work at all
- 7:28today. And then, your actions influence
- 7:30your results. So, we can say that your
- 7:32perception of reality indirectly
- 7:34influences your results. To have a good
- 7:37sense of progress, one of the first
- 7:39steps is to suppress subjective
- 7:40perception as much as possible to
- 7:42replace it with objective data. Stop
- 7:44saying" I'm behind, I haven't mastered
- 7:46my lessons. "Instead, you note
- 7:48everything, you track everything, you
- 7:50transform emotions into numbers, lists,
- 7:52and curves. But having data here is
- 7:54good, but you won't go far if you don't
- 7:56have a real goal. And here again,
- 7:58you're doing everything wrong. You
- 8:00think passing your year is a goal, but
- 8:02in reality," succeeding "is far too
- 8:04vague. What does that even mean? What
- 8:06does it imply? What does it require?
- 8:08Does it give you any concrete actions
- 8:10to take? That's why you’re lost today
- 8:11. You start your day knowing you have
- 8:13tons to do, but you don't even know
- 8:14where to begin. In the end, you do
- 8:16nothing. Instead, you must reason from
- 8:18the long term down to the daily, with
- 8:20measurable goals. You go from" I want
- 8:22to be a top student. "" Ah, what does
- 8:24that mean? "Well, it means being in the
- 8:27top 10%for the year overall. It means
- 8:29getting as close as possible to the top
- 8:3110%in the school. So if I want to reach
- 8:33the top 10%, where do I stand today?
- 8:35What are my weaknesses? Where am I
- 8:37falling behind? I must cover X lessons
- 8:39a day, I must do Y reviews. With every
- 8:41review, I must increase by Z points. We
- 8:44create a causal link between the yearly
- 8:46goal and the daily objective. If I want
- 8:49to succeed this year, what must I do
- 8:51today? But even once you have those
- 8:52goals, you still stop yourself from
- 8:54reaching them because of your fear of
- 8:56difficulty. Progressing means learning
- 8:58from your mistakes, but you can't make
- 9:00mistakes if you dodge the lessons that
- 9:01give you trouble and hide in the
- 9:03subjects you already master. Later,
- 9:05during coaching, you come tell me," I'm
- 9:07waiting to master my lesson before
- 9:09doing exercises. "But that’s not a
- 9:11strategy, that’s fear. And more
- 9:12importantly, you haven't understood a
- 9:14rule that is fundamental. You don't do
- 9:16exercises once you master your lessons.
- 9:18You do exercises to master your lessons
- 9:21. So, difficulties are meant to be
- 9:23faced, not bypassed. If you don't
- 9:25practice, you can't collect data. You
- 9:26can't collect data, you have no
- 9:28progress. If you have no progress, you
- 9:30have no pleasure. If you have no
- 9:31pleasure, you have no studying. Apply
- 9:33this and you’ll already have a much
- 9:34better chance of enjoying your studies.
- 9:36But before really tackling the protocol
- 9:38, you must ensure you can last over
- 9:39time. And a reward system is the icing
- 9:41on the cake that most students still
- 9:43forget all too often. Yet, I've said it
- 9:45many times in my videos, but when I'm
- 9:47on video calls with students, I realize
- 9:48that, in fact, you hate yourselves. If
- 9:50you get a bad grade today, well, it's
- 9:51your own fault. That's because you're
- 9:53no good. However, when you get a good
- 9:55grade, well, suddenly, no, it's not
- 9:56representative, I just got lucky. The
- 9:58tutoring quizzes are harder than the
- 10:00prep course ones. The professors won't
- 10:01do it the same way. When you suffer
- 10:03from morning to night, studying from 6
- 10:05a.m. to 10 p.m., then you say you had a
- 10:06good day. Then you say," Ah, I really
- 10:08suffered, that means I worked hard. "
- 10:10But when you're ultra-productive,
- 10:11you're in a flow and you manage to
- 10:12finish your day 3 hours early, well
- 10:14then you think there's a problem. It's
- 10:15weird, it was too easy. Maybe I didn't
- 10:17work properly. Well, you're going to
- 10:19burn out if you keep going like that.
- 10:20Start by rewarding yourself for every
- 10:22victory, even a small one, like a good
- 10:24rank in a mock oral or when you've
- 10:25understood a difficult lesson. Even
- 10:27just when you've finished your schedule
- 10:28without falling behind. If you study
- 10:30from morning to night, back to the
- 10:31window, seeing no one, with zero social
- 10:33interaction, no hobbies, no sports, you
- 10:35can't be surprised when you end up
- 10:37depressed long before the exam. You're
- 10:38depressed because you have a depressing
- 10:40life. Your mental state is part of your
- 10:42study system. Then, at some point, well
- 10:44, you want to get even better results.
- 10:46So, you start working a little more.
- 10:48You neglect your health and lifestyle a
- 10:50bit more, you neglect your diet, sports
- 10:52, sleep, and all that. In the end, it
- 10:54becomes a vicious cycle because your
- 10:56results drop, so you want to work even
- 10:58harder. Even if you know it's
- 10:59counterproductive, you force yourself a
- 11:01bit and continue working even more,
- 11:03neglecting your health even further,
- 11:04and ultimately getting even worse
- 11:06results. So, you end up working even
- 11:08more. In the end, it turned into a kind
- 11:10of burnout where, by the end of the
- 11:11first semester, I couldn't work at all
- 11:13anymore. When I read a sentence, I
- 11:14couldn't even remember the beginning of
- 11:16it because I was so tired, mentally
- 11:17exhausted, and it happened during the
- 11:19revision period and everything. So, I
- 11:20wasn't able to do my study period
- 11:22optimally. I wasn't even able to do it
- 11:24at all because I had to rest all day. I
- 11:26couldn't I couldn't even read my
- 11:27subjects, you know.
- 11:29>> So don't neglect it when you start the
- 11:30protocol. If you recognized yourself
- 11:35several times in this video, it means
- 11:36you're probably not having a good time
- 11:38studying right now. Don't forget that
- 11:39you can book an appointment with us.
- 11:40Follow the link in the description.
- 11:42We'll take stock of your goals, where
- 11:44you're at right now, what's holding you
- 11:45back, and how we could help you succeed
- 11:47this year. Now is the time to go from a
- 11:49student glued to their phone to a
- 11:50student addicted to their studies. And
- 11:52for that, you need to work on two
- 11:54fronts. The first will be reducing the
- 11:56pleasure you get from social media. And
- 11:59the second will be increasing the
- 12:00pleasure you get from studying through
- 12:02a sense of progress. The first is to
- 12:04avoid going cold turkey. I know that on
- 12:06social media, it's trendy to be
- 12:08sensationalist, where people change
- 12:09everything all of a sudden and become a
- 12:11different person. But the reality is
- 12:13that the more brutal a change is, the
- 12:15less sustainable it is. Actually, treat
- 12:17yourself as if you were your own caring
- 12:19older brother. There's no need to
- 12:20delete all your apps, take your phone,
- 12:22and throw it to the bottom of the ocean
- 12:24, but rather, before each scroll
- 12:25session, ask yourself four questions.
- 12:27What am I running from? What am I
- 12:29looking for? What is this really going
- 12:31to bring me? And is it worth it? Write
- 12:33all that down in a notebook and keep a
- 12:35record with the time and date. The goal
- 12:37is to have less and less temptation
- 12:39over time and fewer and fewer setbacks.
- 12:42You already have a starting foundation,
- 12:44and therefore a first source of
- 12:45progress. As for increasing pleasure
- 12:47with your coursework, you should apply
- 12:48this eight-step protocol. 1, you lay
- 12:50the foundations for data collection, a
- 12:53single, simple source where you can
- 12:55track your grades subject by subject,
- 12:57lesson by lesson, in the finest detail
- 12:59and even for every touchpoint. With my
- 13:01students, we know what grade they got,
- 13:03at what review session, their grade
- 13:05based on the reviews, the time spent
- 13:06each time, and the number of
- 13:07multiple-choice questions. The second
- 13:09step is to objectify your baseline
- 13:11level. If you haven't kept your
- 13:12previous grades in mind, from now on,
- 13:14you're going to do a proper QCM session
- 13:17for all past and new courses to know
- 13:19exactly where you stand. Third step,
- 13:21you are going to define real,
- 13:22achievable goals in a cascade. Where do
- 13:24you stand compared to the class right
- 13:26now? What do you need to achieve? What
- 13:28are the prospects for progress week by
- 13:29week? And so, what actions need to be
- 13:31put in place to reach these goals? The
- 13:344th step is to finally set up a real
- 13:36recall system with missions for each
- 13:38review and use the ECR method:
- 13:40exercises, correction, and targeted
- 13:42review. The 5th step is to participate
- 13:44in every" colle "(oral exam) as if your
- 13:46life depended on it. You don't skip a
- 13:48single one. You are systematically up
- 13:49to date for every mock exam, every
- 13:51chance to measure yourself against
- 13:52others. In my first year, I was
- 13:54hospitalized with knees like this, with
- 13:56inflammation in several joints. I
- 13:58forced the doctor, who didn't want me
- 13:59to move, to give me permission to leave
- 14:01so I could go to my evening exam on
- 14:03crutches; nothing was going to stop me.
- 14:04If I'm not dead, I'm going. So, how
- 14:06come you're coming here?" Oh, I didn't
- 14:08study, so I'm not going. "But are you
- 14:10crazy? The 6th step is to choose a
- 14:12rival. It could be someone imaginary,
- 14:13but ideally, it's someone you know in
- 14:15the same class as you. Or if you're in
- 14:17a university with a named ranking. You
- 14:18can do like I did back then; I chose
- 14:20someone who was 20 places ahead of me.
- 14:22Let's say, Clément. Clément, I don't
- 14:23know you, but at the next exam, you're
- 14:25going down. And once you've beaten
- 14:27Clément, you go after Nassim, Lucas,
- 14:29Émeline, anyone you want. The 7th step
- 14:31is to set up a damn reward system.
- 14:32Every night, we need decompression time
- 14:34. For every success, we personally
- 14:36congratulate our students. I don't know
- 14:38, plan a movie, a restaurant, see
- 14:40friends you haven't seen since high
- 14:41school. That's not wasted time; it's
- 14:43time invested. The 8th step is that
- 14:45every night, you must take real stock
- 14:47of your current situation. You must
- 14:49observe your progress every day, even
- 14:51when it is minimal. You look at every
