How to Study EVERY DAY Without Losing MOTIVATION

I figured out how to study every day without losing motivation you know when you try to start a study routine but after a few days your energy and drive just vanish you start slacking getting distracted by every little thing and suddenly you're scrambling to cram everything last minute yeah you feel like an idiot but the problem isn't your lack of discipline or willpower it's the dumb ineffective way you're trying to keep yourself motivated in this video I'm unlocking secret hacks to keep you pumped to study every single day with simple underrated tricks no one talks

about that'll make you absolutely Unstoppable so let's get started eight visualize your future self imagine 5 years from now you meet your future self they're living the life you've always wanted but there's a catch this version of you only exists if you stop acting like an idiot today a study at Stanford University found that when people could actually see their future self they instantly started making smarter choices why because when you can see yourself years down the line the future stops feeling like some distant fantasy it becomes real and that realness makes you care and

if that wasn't enough research published in the Journal of experimental social psychology found that connecting with your future self makes you way more likely to actually sit down and study instead of putting it off like usual it's almost like that future you is yelling back hey start studying now so you don't regret it later you idiot because in the end every everything you put in today builds the life you'll either brag about or regret tomorrow genius seven stick angry motivational notes everywhere forget the fluffy Feelgood quotes and go for lines that hit you like a

bomb right when you're about to slack off think of something like going to open that book or just sit there watching your dreams go down the drain studying sucks try being broke and failing at life you idiot plaster them everywhere you're bound to look on your laptop around your desk on the bathroom mirror even on the fridge they should be impossible to ignore a constant reminder that procrastinating is just setting yourself up for a mediocre future six list your weekly activities all right list everything you do in a week from class times to extra activities

and of course all that crap you stubbornly keep doing dump it all into Google Calendar including the time you waste on your phone gaming binge watching shows the whole deal this is the only way to face reality and see how much time you're actually throwing away and what you really have left to study now split everything into two categories non-negotiables and negotiables non-negotiables are things you can't skip like classes essential commitments and sleep negotiables are your favorite distractions like couch time all night gaming and long Hangouts all the stuff that let's face it could be

trimmed without much fuss now look at what's actually left and see how much time you've really got enough of the lame excuse I don't have time to study because honestly what you're lacking is organization not time you idiot five pick the best times to study now that you know your free time slots stop pushing studying off until you feel like it everyone has that time of day when their brains firing on all cylinders but most people ignore it and then complain they can't learn a thing so listen up if you work better in the morning

why the hell are you leaving study time for the night you idiot choose the time when your energy is at its peak and make it a fixed routine if something's hogging your back study time deal with it break your study into smaller chunks and fit them into open slots around it or push those other plans to a less prime time it's not perfect but it's way better than trying to power through when your brain's on low battery genius for start with an easy schedule if you want a study schedule that won't make you quit after

the first week start slow you idiot don't pull the I'll study an hour a day move right out of the gate because guess what you won't here's the plan start with 15 minutes a day in the first week doesn't matter what you've got going on you can always squeeze in 15 minutes somewhere second week bump it up to 30 minutes third week go for 45 and by the fourth week you'll be studying an hour or more a day without even noticing and at the end of each week review what you study genius and don't go

Full Throttle without a break pick a day like Saturday or Sunday to let your brain relax knowing you've got a guaranteed day day off actually lowers anxiety and can boost productivity on the other days now tackle subjects that need more focus on days you wake up feeling pumped if possible mix it up so you're not cramming all the boring stuff in a row and then throwing in the towel like an idiot three have small and big reward studying sucks I know but waiting around for motivation to magically appear won't help genius instead let's make your

brain work in your favor with a reward system that actually works small daily rewards and a bigger weekly payoff here's how it works if you study what you're supposed to for the day you've earned something you want like watching Netflix or playing video games when you start tying these small rewards to studying your brain sees it as less painful and surprisingly a bit more interesting and here's the best part at the end of the week if you nail it each day there's got to be a bigger reward waiting for you it could be a hangout

with friends that new piece of clothing you've been eyeing or even a trip to the movies you keep putting off but pay attention Airhead you only get the reward if you actually hit the goal no rewarding yourself just for opening your notebook The Motto here is study first reward after and suddenly even that study schedule that felt like a punishment starts looking kind of not so terrible two use sense to activate study mode look genius it's time to train your brain like Pavlov's dogs pick a scent peppermint coffee or even that one perfume that doesn't

make you gag and sniff it before every study session why research from UC Irvine shows certain sents can fire up your brain and instantly boost alertness and memory the trick is to take a whiff of that scent every single time you sit down to study your brain will start linking it with Focus time snapping your mind into study mode automatically it's basically Pavlov's dog training but for you and your lazy brain and here's the kicker take that scent with you into the exam the same smell can trick memory recall giving your brain a nudge to

pull up what you've crammed it's a mental hack so don't be an idiot use it and subscribe unless you're cool with staying average one don't say you have to study forget the I have to study nonsense start saying I I want to study yeah sounds ridiculous but hear me out it's all about tricking that lazy brain of yours when you say have to your brain immediately throws a fit like a kid who doesn't want to clean their room it feels like punishment but saying I want to study flips the whole vibe making it something you're

choosing to do almost like you're in control now instead of dragging yourself to the desk like a chore you're striding over because you're the one calling the shots genius and don't roll your eyes just yet studies in motivational psychology back this up shifting from obligation to Choice Taps into something called intrinsic motivation basically the stuff that makes you do things because you actually care about them them it's a mind trick but it works your brain loves feeling in control so play along say I want to study every time and watch it get easier don't be
