- 0:06>> Welcome back to the channel, guys, and I
- 0:07hope you guys are doing pretty good.
- 0:10Now, this is the day zero of our 90 days
- 0:15SDET interview preparation series on
- 0:18YouTube.
- 0:19Now, as the title of this particular
- 0:22video says,
- 0:23this particular video is going to focus
- 0:26on creating our system,
- 0:29creating a proper routine, which we will
- 0:32be following for the next 90 days.
- 0:36Now,
- 0:37in this particular video, I'm not going
- 0:39to teach you anything.
- 0:40All right?
- 0:42Over here, our main focus is to just
- 0:45create a system
- 0:47that is going to help us
- 0:49learn and study things in a faster way.
- 0:53All right? Now,
- 0:55I hope you guys have bought a notebook
- 0:59because this is something which is going
- 1:01to play a very important role in this
- 1:03journey.
- 1:04Now,
- 1:06if you have not bought the notebook, you
- 1:07still have 1 day left. You can really
- 1:10get that book. It's not a very fancy
- 1:12thing.
- 1:13And
- 1:14I want to have a ballpoint pen. All
- 1:16right, this is also something which is
- 1:17really important.
- 1:18Because the thing is, unless you write
- 1:21things down, okay?
- 1:23I am pretty sure you're not going to
- 1:25remember it all.
- 1:26I'm not into this whole digital thing
- 1:28where you keep on typing things in your
- 1:30notepad, in your Notion page, and all.
- 1:32I'm not that kind of a guy. All right? I
- 1:34don't feel that pleasure, okay? Of
- 1:38making notes when you write it
- 1:40digitally. But, when you write it on
- 1:41your notebook, it's altogether a
- 1:43different feeling. All right?
- 1:46Now,
- 1:47if you guys have your notebook, what I
- 1:49want you guys to do is
- 1:51I want you guys to go to the second
- 1:53page. All right?
- 1:55So, over here, I've already written
- 1:58notes. I want something like this. All
- 2:00right?
- 2:01There should be two pages.
- 2:03All right? And we will be writing
- 2:06something on these two pages.
- 2:08Okay? I want you guys to quickly open
- 2:10your notebooks and go to
- 2:13the second or the third page. Okay?
- 2:16I hope you guys have opened your
- 2:17notebook.
- 2:19Now,
- 2:20what I want over here now,
- 2:22on the first page, on the first page,
- 2:26I want you guys to write down
- 2:30your regret for the year 2025.
- 2:35All right?
- 2:36So,
- 2:38what you will be doing
- 2:39is if this is our notebook,
- 2:44all right?
- 2:46On the left-hand side,
- 2:49you will be writing
- 2:51the regret
- 2:54for
- 2:562025.
- 2:58Okay?
- 2:59Now, most of us,
- 3:02we are going to have a hell lot of
- 3:03regrets. Okay?
- 3:05But,
- 3:06I want you guys to focus only on one
- 3:09regret. That's it.
- 3:11If I'm not wrong, and looking at this
- 3:14entire playlist and the series,
- 3:17this regret
- 3:19probably is going to be from your
- 3:21career,
- 3:23and it should be something like job
- 3:26change.
- 3:30Yes or no?
- 3:31Right?
- 3:32Most of you guys would have written the
- 3:33same stuff, job change, or didn't learn
- 3:36new things. Something like that you
- 3:38would have written it on your
- 3:40um left page. Right?
- 3:42That is the regret for 2025.
- 3:46Now,
- 3:48on the next page,
- 3:50you will be writing down
- 3:53the reason.
- 3:56All right?
- 3:57Write down the reason
- 3:59why you were not able to do the job
- 4:02change.
- 4:03Getting the point?
- 4:05I want you guys to write down the reason
- 4:07why you were not able to do the job
- 4:10change in your own words. Okay?
- 4:13It can be one reason, it can be two
- 4:15reason, it can be three reason, any
- 4:16number reason. Write it down. Okay?
- 4:20I know it is kind of an uncomfortable
- 4:23thing to do, but this is going to be
- 4:25really really important.
- 4:28I hope you guys have written the reason.
- 4:31Now,
- 4:32if I'm not wrong, okay?
- 4:35Based on my discussion with students and
- 4:38professional,
- 4:40the only reason
- 4:42uh most of us are not able to do the job
- 4:45change or they're not able to study is
- 4:49one.
- 4:51Because
- 4:53they don't have time.
- 5:01Yes or no?
- 5:02So,
- 5:03more like a
- 5:05time management issue that we have.
- 5:09Second,
- 5:14focus.
- 5:17Okay?
- 5:21Most of us are distracted.
- 5:24Okay?
- 5:26So, couple of days back,
- 5:28I had uploaded a video here on YouTube
- 5:32on how to improve our focus. Probably
- 5:35after this particular video, you can
- 5:37check that particular video. It will be
- 5:38very helpful for you guys.
- 5:40Now,
- 5:42if I'm right,
- 5:45these are the two main reasons for
- 5:46almost
- 5:48all of us. All right? That we either
- 5:51have time issue. Okay, we are not able
- 5:53to allocate the time to our studies
- 5:55because there might be a hell lot of
- 5:57impromptu things popping up like your
- 6:00office work, okay? Family issues popping
- 6:03up, okay? And you have to commute to
- 6:07office. So, probably it's going to take
- 6:08a lot of time. So, this is something
- 6:11which is there and it is common to
- 6:12almost all the working professionals
- 6:14that we are not able to allocate time
- 6:16for our studies.
- 6:18The second thing comes into picture is
- 6:20focus. Most of the time when I am having
- 6:22one-to-one sessions with the students,
- 6:25they generally tell that Jatin, I want
- 6:27to study, but what happens is whenever
- 6:30I'm trying to study something or the
- 6:31other pops up. All right? My friend
- 6:33calls me or I'm thinking about the past
- 6:36or I'm you know, like worried about the
- 6:38future. I was not able to change the job
- 6:41in 2025, 2024.
- 6:44And now all my peers are way ahead,
- 6:48okay? Compared to me, right? So, what is
- 6:51happening over here, now guys? We are
- 6:52distracted because of the future as well
- 6:55as the past and we are technically not
- 6:57able to live in the present. All right?
- 7:01Now,
- 7:02if you have filled these two pages,
- 7:05these two pages are very very important.
- 7:10Every time
- 7:12you are
- 7:14going to study, all right?
- 7:17You will make sure
- 7:19that before you start studying anything,
- 7:22whether you study with me, whether you
- 7:24study some other lecture, it doesn't
- 7:25really matter.
- 7:27You are going to read the regrets
- 7:30as well as you are going to read the
- 7:32reason
- 7:33why you were not able to achieve the
- 7:35things that you wanted to achieve in
- 7:372025.
- 7:39All right? This is non-negotiable. Every
- 7:43god damn day
- 7:45when you wake up, you decide to study
- 7:48these two pages needs to be read like a
- 7:52holy grail. Are you getting the point
- 7:54over here?
- 7:56Now, it might look silly to most of you
- 7:59guys that Jatin, this is something about
- 8:01automation testing and all.
- 8:03Right?
- 8:04Why aren't we discussing about
- 8:06automation testing?
- 8:08The whole point that comes over here to
- 8:10analyze
- 8:12I think
- 8:14that it is never about learning. It is
- 8:17all about mindset.
- 8:19Whatever you want to achieve in life,
- 8:21whatever you want to learn. You want to
- 8:23learn automation, you want to learn
- 8:24programming, you want to learn DevOps,
- 8:26it all starts with a mindset.
- 8:30If you don't have your mindset in
- 8:32correct place, all right, you don't know
- 8:35the reason why you are doing what you
- 8:38are doing, then it's better you don't do
- 8:41it.
- 8:43Are you getting the point?
- 8:44Okay? There is millions of tutorials
- 8:46available over the internet, okay?
- 8:49But no one
- 8:51really talks about
- 8:54why
- 8:55we need to do things in a certain way.
- 8:58All right?
- 8:59You're going to find hundreds of
- 9:00tutorials on creating a framework from
- 9:02scratch.
- 9:04All right?
- 9:05But no one talks about how to actually
- 9:07study things, how to remember these
- 9:09things properly. Because the point over
- 9:11here is you create a framework one day
- 9:14and after 1 1 and 1/2 month, you will
- 9:16eventually forget about it.
- 9:18All right? And then when you go and give
- 9:20interviews,
- 9:21all blank.
- 9:23Right?
- 9:24So, this is what I don't want for you
- 9:26guys.
- 9:27Are you getting the point?
- 9:29So, every day you are going to read your
- 9:33regrets as well as your reasons why you
- 9:36were not able to do it.
- 9:38And these reasons
- 9:41are basically our blinkers.
- 9:43All right? You know what are blinkers?
- 9:46If you have seen that um
- 9:48horse race that happens
- 9:50generally to these uh horses, they
- 9:52generally put the blinkers. Why?
- 9:54Because we don't want the horses to get
- 9:57distracted. All right?
- 9:59They have to just focus
- 10:02on the goal.
- 10:04And that's what we want over here, guys.
- 10:06When we are studying, we want to only
- 10:08focus on our target. Nothing else
- 10:11matter. All right?
- 10:13Now,
- 10:15the next thing that comes over here
- 10:17is
- 10:19time management. A lot of people will
- 10:21say that, "Jatin, I don't have time to
- 10:23study. Okay? I start studying with
- 10:25motivation, but after some time, what
- 10:27happens is, you know, like something or
- 10:29the other pops up and the flow, the
- 10:32rhythm of the study gets affected. And
- 10:35that flow which is getting disrupted
- 10:37stays in the disrupted state for
- 10:39probably 1 1 and 1/2 month. And then you
- 10:42feel that you have to start everything
- 10:44from scratch." Yes or no?
- 10:46So, that's something that we will be
- 10:48fixing in our day zero. We will be
- 10:51creating our entire schedule. All right?
- 10:56Perfect? Now,
- 10:58let me just delete this particular
- 11:00stuff.
- 11:02The thing over here, guys,
- 11:04whether it is you, whether it is me,
- 11:06whether it is Amitabh Bachchan, whether
- 11:07it is Shah Rukh Khan, whether it is Elon
- 11:09Musk, everyone
- 11:12has
- 11:1324 hours.
- 11:16Yes or no?
- 11:17And this thing is not going to change
- 11:20whether you are a millionaire or a
- 11:22billionaire.
- 11:24Right?
- 11:25So, 24 into 7 days,
- 11:30in total, we have 168
- 11:34hours.
- 11:36All right?
- 11:38We will not plan things for a month or
- 11:42probably for a 90 days and all. We will
- 11:45go very basic. We will only plan things
- 11:50for 7 days. Nothing else matters.
- 11:55All right?
- 11:57Now,
- 11:58out of these 168 hours that has been
- 12:02given to us by God,
- 12:05some things are non-negotiable.
- 12:07What are those things?
- 12:09Yes?
- 12:10So, let me just write it down.
- 12:12The non-negotiable activity,
- 12:18okay?
- 12:19First one,
- 12:22the most important,
- 12:24sleep.
- 12:27Okay?
- 12:29When I'm talking to students, no? They
- 12:30say that Jatan, I sleep for 6 hours, 7
- 12:33hours. Why?
- 12:35Okay?
- 12:36See, if your rest is not proper, okay?
- 12:40Don't expect that you will be able to
- 12:42study things properly. It's not going to
- 12:44happen. A lot of time people say that,
- 12:47you know, there is a lot of hustle
- 12:48culture. I don't believe in all those
- 12:50things.
- 12:51Okay?
- 12:53For me, sleep is my number one priority.
- 12:56So, make sure
- 12:58that you guys
- 13:00sleep for 8 hours.
- 13:02Okay?
- 13:048
- 13:06into 7,
- 13:08how much? 56.
- 13:11So, from the 168 hours, we will subtract
- 13:1556.
- 13:17168 minus 56,
- 13:21112 hours.
- 13:25Right?
- 13:26112 hours is remaining.
- 13:29Next non-negotiable activity that we
- 13:32have
- 13:34is office.
- 13:38The work.
- 13:40Most of us
- 13:42work 10 hours a day. Right?
- 13:46So, 10
- 13:48into five
- 13:49how much?
- 13:5150.
- 13:53So, we have 112 hours.
- 13:57112 hours minus 50
- 14:02you're left with
- 14:0462 hours.
- 14:07Perfect?
- 14:09Now
- 14:10we will go very granular.
- 14:13The next thing
- 14:15is going to be commute.
- 14:19Meaning the time it takes to reach
- 14:21office.
- 14:22Okay? In the worst case scenario, you
- 14:26will be putting 1 hour a day, okay? To
- 14:29go to the office and 1 hour to come
- 14:31back. All right? So, let's put 2 hours.
- 14:34Okay? 2 hours you're spending to and fro
- 14:38to commute from home to office.
- 14:41So, 2 into five
- 14:43Okay? That is 10.
- 14:46Subtracted for us.
- 14:4862 minus 10 you have 52 hours left. Next
- 14:56there's going to be the meal time.
- 14:59So, we have the breakfast
- 15:01lunch and dinner.
- 15:05So, it is going to be like 2 hours a day
- 15:10for 7 days.
- 15:12That is 14 hours.
- 15:15Now, help me out over here.
- 15:1752 minus 14 so over here
- 15:23we have
- 15:2638 hours left.
- 15:28Perfect.
- 15:31Next,
- 15:32let's go
- 15:34to family time.
- 15:39All right, and let's assume you decide
- 15:41to put 2 hours a day, okay, and you
- 15:43decide to give it to your family. That
- 15:45is going to be again 14 hours.
- 15:48All right, so it is going to be
- 15:5138 minus 14,
- 15:54which is
- 15:56going to be
- 15:5824 hours.
- 16:00Perfect.
- 16:02Finally,
- 16:03after spending time with family, office,
- 16:07your sleep, traveling to office, and all
- 16:10those things, you want a little bit time
- 16:12for yourself also, no?
- 16:14So,
- 16:16self time.
- 16:19And we can only afford 1 hour a day.
- 16:23All right,
- 16:24that is going to be seven.
- 16:28So, 24
- 16:34minus seven,
- 16:37it is going to be
- 16:3817 hours.
- 16:41Okay?
- 16:4317 hours.
- 16:45So, this 17 hours which you are seeing
- 16:47now over here, guys,
- 16:49this
- 16:51is going to be your study time.
- 16:54All right?
- 16:56So, on an average, okay, in the
- 16:58worst-case scenario, because most of us
- 17:01are technically doing hybrid job, okay,
- 17:042 days you will be going to office, 3
- 17:06days you're working from home. I have
- 17:08not taken that also into consideration.
- 17:11I'm assuming that you are traveling to
- 17:13office all 5 days.
- 17:16All right? Now, the thing over here now,
- 17:17guys, is we just have 17 hours.
- 17:24Now,
- 17:26if you know your limit that in a week
- 17:28I'm supposed to study for 17 hours,
- 17:32this is the time that you are left now,
- 17:33okay? And no matter what happens,
- 17:37you should try to touch your studies
- 17:40hours as close to 17 hours.
- 17:43All right?
- 17:44There will be weeks where you will not
- 17:46be able to put 17 hours, and it's
- 17:48completely fine.
- 17:49But, try to be as close to 17 hours.
- 17:54Are you getting the point over here?
- 17:55Perfect.
- 17:57So,
- 17:58write it down in your notebook
- 18:00that on a week, okay? In a particular
- 18:04week, you should be studying for 17
- 18:07hours. Now, how you study is up to you.
- 18:12All right?
- 18:13There will be days
- 18:15where probably on a Monday you will be
- 18:17able to put 1 hour a day, on Tuesday you
- 18:19will be able to put 2 hours, Wednesday
- 18:22you might be able to put 30 minutes,
- 18:24but at the end of the week,
- 18:27you should aim to clock in
- 18:31bare minimum
- 18:3315 to 16 hours.
- 18:35All right? I hope this particular part
- 18:38is clear to everyone.
- 18:40Next thing.
- 18:41You know that I will be releasing the
- 18:43lecture from tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. IST.
- 18:47All right?
- 18:48I've decided this particular time only
- 18:50and only because by this time most of us
- 18:53are done with the dinner, all right?
- 18:56And um
- 18:57once you're done with your dinner,
- 18:59you're relaxed and all, that's the time
- 19:01to study.
- 19:02Okay?
- 19:03Our main goal is to be in that whole
- 19:07zone where we are
- 19:09studying on regular basis. So, every
- 19:11Monday to Friday, 10:00 p.m. IST, I'll
- 19:14be releasing the lecture. Some of you
- 19:16guys might not be able to study at 10:00
- 19:18p.m. Then what? Get up in the morning,
- 19:21all right? Study this particular
- 19:23lecture, and then go to your office.
- 19:25All right? Perfect?
- 19:27The notes I will be keeping in the
- 19:29members-only section. So, if you're not
- 19:32part of this entire YouTube Tech with
- 19:34Jatin membership, please make sure that
- 19:36you take it off. It's very useful, and
- 19:39it is going to give you all the notes of
- 19:42all the topics that I'll be teaching in
- 19:44this 90-days interview preparation
- 19:46series.
- 19:48So,
- 19:49once you take that particular notes,
- 19:51please make sure that you take a hard
- 19:53copy. Take a printout of it.
- 19:55There will be days that you don't want
- 19:57to study from laptop, or probably watch
- 20:00a video. These notes are definitely
- 20:02going to help you out.
- 20:04Are you getting the point over here? So,
- 20:06that's all what I wanted to discuss in
- 20:08this day zero lecture.
- 20:11Now, guys,
- 20:13accountability is really important. All
- 20:16right?
- 20:17Every time you complete the lecture, you
- 20:19are supposed to go to the comment
- 20:21section and state that you have
- 20:23completed the lecture.
- 20:25All right?
- 20:26This comment section is going to be the
- 20:29place where you will be marking your
- 20:30attendance.
