  2. 0:06>> Welcome back to the channel, guys, and I
  3. 0:07hope you guys are doing pretty good.
  4. 0:10Now, this is the day zero of our 90 days
  5. 0:15SDET interview preparation series on
  6. 0:18YouTube.
  7. 0:19Now, as the title of this particular
  8. 0:22video says,
  9. 0:23this particular video is going to focus
  10. 0:26on creating our system,
  11. 0:29creating a proper routine, which we will
  12. 0:32be following for the next 90 days.
  13. 0:36Now,
  14. 0:37in this particular video, I'm not going
  15. 0:39to teach you anything.
  16. 0:40All right?
  17. 0:42Over here, our main focus is to just
  18. 0:45create a system
  19. 0:47that is going to help us
  20. 0:49learn and study things in a faster way.
  21. 0:53All right? Now,
  22. 0:55I hope you guys have bought a notebook
  23. 0:59because this is something which is going
  24. 1:01to play a very important role in this
  25. 1:03journey.
  26. 1:04Now,
  27. 1:06if you have not bought the notebook, you
  28. 1:07still have 1 day left. You can really
  29. 1:10get that book. It's not a very fancy
  30. 1:12thing.
  31. 1:13And
  32. 1:14I want to have a ballpoint pen. All
  33. 1:16right, this is also something which is
  34. 1:17really important.
  35. 1:18Because the thing is, unless you write
  36. 1:21things down, okay?
  37. 1:23I am pretty sure you're not going to
  38. 1:25remember it all.
  39. 1:26I'm not into this whole digital thing
  40. 1:28where you keep on typing things in your
  41. 1:30notepad, in your Notion page, and all.
  42. 1:32I'm not that kind of a guy. All right? I
  43. 1:34don't feel that pleasure, okay? Of
  44. 1:38making notes when you write it
  45. 1:40digitally. But, when you write it on
  46. 1:41your notebook, it's altogether a
  47. 1:43different feeling. All right?
  48. 1:46Now,
  49. 1:47if you guys have your notebook, what I
  50. 1:49want you guys to do is
  51. 1:51I want you guys to go to the second
  52. 1:53page. All right?
  53. 1:55So, over here, I've already written
  54. 1:58notes. I want something like this. All
  55. 2:00right?
  56. 2:01There should be two pages.
  57. 2:03All right? And we will be writing
  58. 2:06something on these two pages.
  59. 2:08Okay? I want you guys to quickly open
  60. 2:10your notebooks and go to
  61. 2:13the second or the third page. Okay?
  62. 2:16I hope you guys have opened your
  63. 2:17notebook.
  64. 2:19Now,
  65. 2:20what I want over here now,
  66. 2:22on the first page, on the first page,
  67. 2:26I want you guys to write down
  68. 2:30your regret for the year 2025.
  69. 2:35All right?
  70. 2:36So,
  71. 2:38what you will be doing
  72. 2:39is if this is our notebook,
  73. 2:44all right?
  74. 2:46On the left-hand side,
  75. 2:49you will be writing
  76. 2:51the regret
  77. 2:54for
  78. 2:562025.
  79. 2:58Okay?
  80. 2:59Now, most of us,
  81. 3:02we are going to have a hell lot of
  82. 3:03regrets. Okay?
  83. 3:05But,
  84. 3:06I want you guys to focus only on one
  85. 3:09regret. That's it.
  86. 3:11If I'm not wrong, and looking at this
  87. 3:14entire playlist and the series,
  88. 3:17this regret
  89. 3:19probably is going to be from your
  90. 3:21career,
  91. 3:23and it should be something like job
  92. 3:26change.
  93. 3:30Yes or no?
  94. 3:31Right?
  95. 3:32Most of you guys would have written the
  96. 3:33same stuff, job change, or didn't learn
  97. 3:36new things. Something like that you
  98. 3:38would have written it on your
  99. 3:40um left page. Right?
  100. 3:42That is the regret for 2025.
  101. 3:46Now,
  102. 3:48on the next page,
  103. 3:50you will be writing down
  104. 3:53the reason.
  105. 3:56All right?
  106. 3:57Write down the reason
  107. 3:59why you were not able to do the job
  108. 4:02change.
  109. 4:03Getting the point?
  110. 4:05I want you guys to write down the reason
  111. 4:07why you were not able to do the job
  112. 4:10change in your own words. Okay?
  113. 4:13It can be one reason, it can be two
  114. 4:15reason, it can be three reason, any
  115. 4:16number reason. Write it down. Okay?
  116. 4:20I know it is kind of an uncomfortable
  117. 4:23thing to do, but this is going to be
  118. 4:25really really important.
  119. 4:28I hope you guys have written the reason.
  120. 4:31Now,
  121. 4:32if I'm not wrong, okay?
  122. 4:35Based on my discussion with students and
  123. 4:38professional,
  124. 4:40the only reason
  125. 4:42uh most of us are not able to do the job
  126. 4:45change or they're not able to study is
  127. 4:49one.
  128. 4:51Because
  129. 4:53they don't have time.
  130. 5:01Yes or no?
  131. 5:02So,
  132. 5:03more like a
  133. 5:05time management issue that we have.
  134. 5:09Second,
  135. 5:14focus.
  136. 5:17Okay?
  137. 5:21Most of us are distracted.
  138. 5:24Okay?
  139. 5:26So, couple of days back,
  140. 5:28I had uploaded a video here on YouTube
  141. 5:32on how to improve our focus. Probably
  142. 5:35after this particular video, you can
  143. 5:37check that particular video. It will be
  144. 5:38very helpful for you guys.
  145. 5:40Now,
  146. 5:42if I'm right,
  147. 5:45these are the two main reasons for
  148. 5:46almost
  149. 5:48all of us. All right? That we either
  150. 5:51have time issue. Okay, we are not able
  151. 5:53to allocate the time to our studies
  152. 5:55because there might be a hell lot of
  153. 5:57impromptu things popping up like your
  154. 6:00office work, okay? Family issues popping
  155. 6:03up, okay? And you have to commute to
  156. 6:07office. So, probably it's going to take
  157. 6:08a lot of time. So, this is something
  158. 6:11which is there and it is common to
  159. 6:12almost all the working professionals
  160. 6:14that we are not able to allocate time
  161. 6:16for our studies.
  162. 6:18The second thing comes into picture is
  163. 6:20focus. Most of the time when I am having
  164. 6:22one-to-one sessions with the students,
  165. 6:25they generally tell that Jatin, I want
  166. 6:27to study, but what happens is whenever
  167. 6:30I'm trying to study something or the
  168. 6:31other pops up. All right? My friend
  169. 6:33calls me or I'm thinking about the past
  170. 6:36or I'm you know, like worried about the
  171. 6:38future. I was not able to change the job
  172. 6:41in 2025, 2024.
  173. 6:44And now all my peers are way ahead,
  174. 6:48okay? Compared to me, right? So, what is
  175. 6:51happening over here, now guys? We are
  176. 6:52distracted because of the future as well
  177. 6:55as the past and we are technically not
  178. 6:57able to live in the present. All right?
  179. 7:01Now,
  180. 7:02if you have filled these two pages,
  181. 7:05these two pages are very very important.
  182. 7:10Every time
  183. 7:12you are
  184. 7:14going to study, all right?
  185. 7:17You will make sure
  186. 7:19that before you start studying anything,
  187. 7:22whether you study with me, whether you
  188. 7:24study some other lecture, it doesn't
  189. 7:25really matter.
  190. 7:27You are going to read the regrets
  191. 7:30as well as you are going to read the
  192. 7:32reason
  193. 7:33why you were not able to achieve the
  194. 7:35things that you wanted to achieve in
  195. 7:372025.
  196. 7:39All right? This is non-negotiable. Every
  197. 7:43god damn day
  198. 7:45when you wake up, you decide to study
  199. 7:48these two pages needs to be read like a
  200. 7:52holy grail. Are you getting the point
  201. 7:54over here?
  202. 7:56Now, it might look silly to most of you
  203. 7:59guys that Jatin, this is something about
  204. 8:01automation testing and all.
  205. 8:03Right?
  206. 8:04Why aren't we discussing about
  207. 8:06automation testing?
  208. 8:08The whole point that comes over here to
  209. 8:10analyze
  210. 8:12I think
  211. 8:14that it is never about learning. It is
  212. 8:17all about mindset.
  213. 8:19Whatever you want to achieve in life,
  214. 8:21whatever you want to learn. You want to
  215. 8:23learn automation, you want to learn
  216. 8:24programming, you want to learn DevOps,
  217. 8:26it all starts with a mindset.
  218. 8:30If you don't have your mindset in
  219. 8:32correct place, all right, you don't know
  220. 8:35the reason why you are doing what you
  221. 8:38are doing, then it's better you don't do
  222. 8:41it.
  223. 8:43Are you getting the point?
  224. 8:44Okay? There is millions of tutorials
  225. 8:46available over the internet, okay?
  226. 8:49But no one
  227. 8:51really talks about
  228. 8:54why
  229. 8:55we need to do things in a certain way.
  230. 8:58All right?
  231. 8:59You're going to find hundreds of
  232. 9:00tutorials on creating a framework from
  233. 9:02scratch.
  234. 9:04All right?
  235. 9:05But no one talks about how to actually
  236. 9:07study things, how to remember these
  237. 9:09things properly. Because the point over
  238. 9:11here is you create a framework one day
  239. 9:14and after 1 1 and 1/2 month, you will
  240. 9:16eventually forget about it.
  241. 9:18All right? And then when you go and give
  242. 9:20interviews,
  243. 9:21all blank.
  244. 9:23Right?
  245. 9:24So, this is what I don't want for you
  246. 9:26guys.
  247. 9:27Are you getting the point?
  248. 9:29So, every day you are going to read your
  249. 9:33regrets as well as your reasons why you
  250. 9:36were not able to do it.
  251. 9:38And these reasons
  252. 9:41are basically our blinkers.
  253. 9:43All right? You know what are blinkers?
  254. 9:46If you have seen that um
  255. 9:48horse race that happens
  256. 9:50generally to these uh horses, they
  257. 9:52generally put the blinkers. Why?
  258. 9:54Because we don't want the horses to get
  259. 9:57distracted. All right?
  260. 9:59They have to just focus
  261. 10:02on the goal.
  262. 10:04And that's what we want over here, guys.
  263. 10:06When we are studying, we want to only
  264. 10:08focus on our target. Nothing else
  265. 10:11matter. All right?
  266. 10:13Now,
  267. 10:15the next thing that comes over here
  268. 10:17is
  269. 10:19time management. A lot of people will
  270. 10:21say that, "Jatin, I don't have time to
  271. 10:23study. Okay? I start studying with
  272. 10:25motivation, but after some time, what
  273. 10:27happens is, you know, like something or
  274. 10:29the other pops up and the flow, the
  275. 10:32rhythm of the study gets affected. And
  276. 10:35that flow which is getting disrupted
  277. 10:37stays in the disrupted state for
  278. 10:39probably 1 1 and 1/2 month. And then you
  279. 10:42feel that you have to start everything
  280. 10:44from scratch." Yes or no?
  281. 10:46So, that's something that we will be
  282. 10:48fixing in our day zero. We will be
  283. 10:51creating our entire schedule. All right?
  284. 10:56Perfect? Now,
  285. 10:58let me just delete this particular
  286. 11:00stuff.
  287. 11:02The thing over here, guys,
  288. 11:04whether it is you, whether it is me,
  289. 11:06whether it is Amitabh Bachchan, whether
  290. 11:07it is Shah Rukh Khan, whether it is Elon
  291. 11:09Musk, everyone
  292. 11:12has
  293. 11:1324 hours.
  294. 11:16Yes or no?
  295. 11:17And this thing is not going to change
  296. 11:20whether you are a millionaire or a
  297. 11:22billionaire.
  298. 11:24Right?
  299. 11:25So, 24 into 7 days,
  300. 11:30in total, we have 168
  301. 11:34hours.
  302. 11:36All right?
  303. 11:38We will not plan things for a month or
  304. 11:42probably for a 90 days and all. We will
  305. 11:45go very basic. We will only plan things
  306. 11:50for 7 days. Nothing else matters.
  307. 11:55All right?
  308. 11:57Now,
  309. 11:58out of these 168 hours that has been
  310. 12:02given to us by God,
  311. 12:05some things are non-negotiable.
  312. 12:07What are those things?
  313. 12:09Yes?
  314. 12:10So, let me just write it down.
  315. 12:12The non-negotiable activity,
  316. 12:18okay?
  317. 12:19First one,
  318. 12:22the most important,
  319. 12:24sleep.
  320. 12:27Okay?
  321. 12:29When I'm talking to students, no? They
  322. 12:30say that Jatan, I sleep for 6 hours, 7
  323. 12:33hours. Why?
  324. 12:35Okay?
  325. 12:36See, if your rest is not proper, okay?
  326. 12:40Don't expect that you will be able to
  327. 12:42study things properly. It's not going to
  328. 12:44happen. A lot of time people say that,
  329. 12:47you know, there is a lot of hustle
  330. 12:48culture. I don't believe in all those
  331. 12:50things.
  332. 12:51Okay?
  333. 12:53For me, sleep is my number one priority.
  334. 12:56So, make sure
  335. 12:58that you guys
  336. 13:00sleep for 8 hours.
  337. 13:02Okay?
  338. 13:048
  339. 13:06into 7,
  340. 13:08how much? 56.
  341. 13:11So, from the 168 hours, we will subtract
  342. 13:1556.
  343. 13:17168 minus 56,
  344. 13:21112 hours.
  345. 13:25Right?
  346. 13:26112 hours is remaining.
  347. 13:29Next non-negotiable activity that we
  348. 13:32have
  349. 13:34is office.
  350. 13:38The work.
  351. 13:40Most of us
  352. 13:42work 10 hours a day. Right?
  353. 13:46So, 10
  354. 13:48into five
  355. 13:49how much?
  356. 13:5150.
  357. 13:53So, we have 112 hours.
  358. 13:57112 hours minus 50
  359. 14:02you're left with
  360. 14:0462 hours.
  361. 14:07Perfect?
  362. 14:09Now
  363. 14:10we will go very granular.
  364. 14:13The next thing
  365. 14:15is going to be commute.
  366. 14:19Meaning the time it takes to reach
  367. 14:21office.
  368. 14:22Okay? In the worst case scenario, you
  369. 14:26will be putting 1 hour a day, okay? To
  370. 14:29go to the office and 1 hour to come
  371. 14:31back. All right? So, let's put 2 hours.
  372. 14:34Okay? 2 hours you're spending to and fro
  373. 14:38to commute from home to office.
  374. 14:41So, 2 into five
  375. 14:43Okay? That is 10.
  376. 14:46Subtracted for us.
  377. 14:4862 minus 10 you have 52 hours left. Next
  378. 14:56there's going to be the meal time.
  379. 14:59So, we have the breakfast
  380. 15:01lunch and dinner.
  381. 15:05So, it is going to be like 2 hours a day
  382. 15:10for 7 days.
  383. 15:12That is 14 hours.
  384. 15:15Now, help me out over here.
  385. 15:1752 minus 14 so over here
  386. 15:23we have
  387. 15:2638 hours left.
  388. 15:28Perfect.
  389. 15:31Next,
  390. 15:32let's go
  391. 15:34to family time.
  392. 15:39All right, and let's assume you decide
  393. 15:41to put 2 hours a day, okay, and you
  394. 15:43decide to give it to your family. That
  395. 15:45is going to be again 14 hours.
  396. 15:48All right, so it is going to be
  397. 15:5138 minus 14,
  398. 15:54which is
  399. 15:56going to be
  400. 15:5824 hours.
  401. 16:00Perfect.
  402. 16:02Finally,
  403. 16:03after spending time with family, office,
  404. 16:07your sleep, traveling to office, and all
  405. 16:10those things, you want a little bit time
  406. 16:12for yourself also, no?
  407. 16:14So,
  408. 16:16self time.
  409. 16:19And we can only afford 1 hour a day.
  410. 16:23All right,
  411. 16:24that is going to be seven.
  412. 16:28So, 24
  413. 16:34minus seven,
  414. 16:37it is going to be
  415. 16:3817 hours.
  416. 16:41Okay?
  417. 16:4317 hours.
  418. 16:45So, this 17 hours which you are seeing
  419. 16:47now over here, guys,
  420. 16:49this
  421. 16:51is going to be your study time.
  422. 16:54All right?
  423. 16:56So, on an average, okay, in the
  424. 16:58worst-case scenario, because most of us
  425. 17:01are technically doing hybrid job, okay,
  426. 17:042 days you will be going to office, 3
  427. 17:06days you're working from home. I have
  428. 17:08not taken that also into consideration.
  429. 17:11I'm assuming that you are traveling to
  430. 17:13office all 5 days.
  431. 17:16All right? Now, the thing over here now,
  432. 17:17guys, is we just have 17 hours.
  433. 17:24Now,
  434. 17:26if you know your limit that in a week
  435. 17:28I'm supposed to study for 17 hours,
  436. 17:32this is the time that you are left now,
  437. 17:33okay? And no matter what happens,
  438. 17:37you should try to touch your studies
  439. 17:40hours as close to 17 hours.
  440. 17:43All right?
  441. 17:44There will be weeks where you will not
  442. 17:46be able to put 17 hours, and it's
  443. 17:48completely fine.
  444. 17:49But, try to be as close to 17 hours.
  445. 17:54Are you getting the point over here?
  446. 17:55Perfect.
  447. 17:57So,
  448. 17:58write it down in your notebook
  449. 18:00that on a week, okay? In a particular
  450. 18:04week, you should be studying for 17
  451. 18:07hours. Now, how you study is up to you.
  452. 18:12All right?
  453. 18:13There will be days
  454. 18:15where probably on a Monday you will be
  455. 18:17able to put 1 hour a day, on Tuesday you
  456. 18:19will be able to put 2 hours, Wednesday
  457. 18:22you might be able to put 30 minutes,
  458. 18:24but at the end of the week,
  459. 18:27you should aim to clock in
  460. 18:31bare minimum
  461. 18:3315 to 16 hours.
  462. 18:35All right? I hope this particular part
  463. 18:38is clear to everyone.
  464. 18:40Next thing.
  465. 18:41You know that I will be releasing the
  466. 18:43lecture from tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. IST.
  467. 18:47All right?
  468. 18:48I've decided this particular time only
  469. 18:50and only because by this time most of us
  470. 18:53are done with the dinner, all right?
  471. 18:56And um
