  11. 0:22and to make things worse
  12. 0:23studying can be exhausting and boring
  13. 0:26which makes you want to procrastinate even more

  21. 0:45and the best part
  22. 0:46you won't have to keep losing your weekends
  23. 0:47every time there's a test coming up
  24. 0:49so let's get started 8
  25. 0:51ditch the suites do you binge on sweets before tests
  26. 0:54due to stress and anxiety
  27. 0:56well you're being dumb
  28. 0:58the truth is sugar is only going to make things worse
  29. 1:02studies from UCLA prove that too much sugar
  30. 1:05slows your brain down making it harder to learn
  31. 1:08and if that's not enough
  32. 1:09research from the journal of physiology
  33. 1:11shows that sugar can mess up your focus
  34. 1:13and reasoning
  35. 1:14so if you wanna study faster and rush the exam
  36. 1:18ditch the sweets and go for nuts
  37. 1:20fish or berries before the test
  38. 1:22those will actually boost your memory
  39. 1:24and keep you focused
  40. 1:26without leaving you in the sugar fog
  41. 1:287 change your mindset
  42. 1:30if you sit down to study
  43. 1:31already thinking it's gonna be endless and boring
  44. 1:33guess what it will be
  45. 1:36but if you stop being so negative
  46. 1:38and decide it's gonna be quick and easy
  47. 1:40your focus will improve and time will fly
  48. 1:43your brain does exactly what you tell it to
  49. 1:45there's even a Harvard study that showed employees
  50. 1:48who believed physical work was good for their health
  51. 1:50actually saw improvements
  52. 1:52like lower blood pressure and even weight loss
  53. 1:54if it works for them why wouldn't it work for studying
  54. 1:57the bottom line is
  55. 1:58your beliefs have way more power than you think
  56. 2:02if you start studying convinced it's gonna be torture
  57. 2:05then yeah that's exactly what it'll be
  58. 2:07you idiot now try thinking differently
  59. 2:09instead of saying this is gonna take forever
  60. 2:12try I'll knock this out in no time
  61. 2:14and instead of I'll never understand this
  62. 2:16go go with this one's easy
  63. 2:18I'll get it done in half an hour
  64. 2:19if you stop being so stubborn and adjust your mindset
  65. 2:23you'll see how much better your brain performs
  66. 2:25managing your expectations isn't just motivational talk
  67. 2:29it's a legit strategy to study faster and suffer less
  68. 2:336 use a timer
  69. 2:34just like managing your expectations can
  70. 2:36save your study sessions
  71. 2:37using a timer as the perfect tool
  72. 2:40to stop procrastinating like an idiot
  73. 2:42if you think you've got all day to finish a task
  74. 2:45congrats you're definitely gonna take all day
  75. 2:47that's the famous Parkinson's Law
  76. 2:49work expands to fill the time you give it
  77. 2:52but if you set a 30 minute timer
  78. 2:54everything changes your brain registers the countdown
  79. 2:57and switches into full focus mode
  80. 3:00forcing you to be efficient
  81. 3:01get things done faster plus
  82. 3:03studies show that when we use a timer
  83. 3:06we naturally tend to finish tasks
  84. 3:08in the least amount of time possible
  85. 3:10the trick is to set a time limit that pushes you
  86. 3:13but doesn't make you panic
  87. 3:15don't go crazy thinking
  88. 3:16I can't study all of this in one hour
  89. 3:19but also don't make it too comfortable
  90. 3:21or you'll just procrastinate
  91. 3:23instead of saying I'll study all day for this
  92. 3:25try something like I'll cover this chapter in one hour
  93. 3:28and see how much faster you get through it 5
  94. 3:31prioritize important content
  95. 3:33when time is tight
  96. 3:34stop being dumb and focus on what really matters
  97. 3:37if you only had 2 hours to study
  98. 3:39are you seriously going to waste it
  99. 3:41reviewing the stuff you already know
  100. 3:43or diving into useless details
  101. 3:45that aren't even on the exam course
  102. 3:48not that's where the 80 20 rule comes in
  103. 3:5220% of the topics will give you
  104. 3:5380% of the answers on the test
  105. 3:55so instead of drowning in irrelevant stuff
  106. 3:58get straight to the point
  107. 4:00need an example stop rereading the entire textbook
  108. 4:03like that's gonna help
  109. 4:04go straight to the summaries and the topics
  110. 4:06your professor won't shut up about
  111. 4:08do exercises on the most tested areas
  112. 4:10in review past exams ask yourself
  113. 4:13if I could only review one thing
  114. 4:15what would be the most useful
  115. 4:16by prioritizing what's really important
  116. 4:19you not only save time
  117. 4:20but also avoid that awful feeling
  118. 4:22of studying everything and still learning nothing
  119. 4:25because honestly
  120. 4:26what's the point of knowing 100% of the material
  121. 4:29if only 20% is going to matter on the exam
  122. 4:324 study the answers first
  123. 4:34if you wanna stop wasting time
  124. 4:36and start studying smarter
  125. 4:38begin with the answers
  126. 4:39instead of wandering aimlessly through the entire book
  127. 4:42go straight to the questions and answers
  128. 4:44at the end of the chapters
  129. 4:46that's where the important stuff is
  130. 4:47doing question and answer exercises
  131. 4:50helps you solidify your learning much faster
  132. 4:53without wasting time on pointless details
  133. 4:56and the truth is exams follow predictable patterns
  134. 5:00so if you focus on the right questions
  135. 5:02you'll know exactly what to expect
  136. 5:04understanding the structure of the answers
  137. 5:05and how the grading scheme works
  138. 5:07is the real secret sauce
  139. 5:09it's no use acting like a know it all
  140. 5:12if you can't answer the way the examiner wants
  141. 5:15and from what I've heard
  142. 5:16one of them even mentioned that
  143. 5:17your grades will only improve if you subscribe to
  144. 5:20the channel hmm yeah
  145. 5:22only if you actually want to get smarter
  146. 5:253 focus on your weaknesses
  147. 5:27stop wasting time revising what you already know
  148. 5:30you idiot instead
  149. 5:32focus on your weaknesses
  150. 5:33those areas you avoid because they require more effort
  151. 5:36it's easy to fall into the trap of reviewing the topics
  152. 5:40you've mastered
  153. 5:41because it gives you that I'm doing great feeling
  154. 5:44but that won't help you when the exam comes
  155. 5:46face your challenges head on
  156. 5:48and concentrate on the parts you haven't mastered yet
  157. 5:50that's where you'll see real progress
  158. 5:53also try using horizontal learning
  159. 5:55where you connect different areas of knowledge
  160. 5:57to understand the bigger picture
  161. 5:59for example if you're studying the immune system
  162. 6:01expand your view by reviewing related topics
  163. 6:04like inflammatory response
  164. 6:06this is cellular defense mechanisms
  165. 6:08and autoimmune diseases this way
  166. 6:10instead of being stuck in one topic
  167. 6:12you explore more areas
  168. 6:13and make important connections between subjects
  169. 6:16it makes your learning more efficient and complete
  170. 6:19leaving you way more prepared for the exam
  171. 6:222 use AI tools
