I think the root of motivation is that "we want the great result, the experience, the feeling of success." Most of the time, we won't focus on loving the working, the process but only dream of, think of, fond of the success, which is, of course, always attracting us

I STUDIED like hell and did not get the grades I expected and it leads me to depression and anxiety disorder and now I AM TAKING meds and I consult to my psychiatrist and am changing my study techniques . Your videos help me a lot .THANK YOU .

🧠 our brains are “lazy” and like to take short cuts. But building good habits is away of weaponizing that laziness and making it productive

[jacky]

1. Build habits to decouple motivation and productivity
2. Burnout is a symptom. Find root cause.
3. Control brings confidence. Understand your learning process that get results so you feel like you have control. Lack of clarity is demotivating and can lead to burnout.
4. Regular reflection and experimentation - are they working? Is it the outcome I expect?
No other alternative

Hey Justin,

The amount of value and knowledge you are sharing is amazing. To be able to provide this content to people and offer them the opportunity to improve and develop themselves must be giving you such a great feeling of fulfillment.

You are easily one of my favorite content creators on the internet.

Thank you !

Late to the party I know, but as a burned out and broke med student, it's immensely valuable to have a framework to assess and refine my study system (which doesn't cut it anymore) so, thank you for these videos, they're just what I need!

[zenameier]

Burnout isn't just about motivation. It's also a psychological condition that's very serious and can happen even if you get the best grades all the time and you achieve all of your goals.
People associate it with job burnout, but it can happen to students too and it's very serious.
Sometimes you just need to realize that grind and hard work isn't everything in life and you need to also take care of yourself and have fun, even if it means your grades won't be as perfect as you want.
Taking a step back and evaluating what's making you feel horrible is the key to solve actual burnout. You mind and body need rest. It's just feedback telling you that you're doing too much and not paying attention to your needs.

You are the ONLY youtuber who doesn’t annoy me every time you talk about your program in every single video you make that how good your cotent is Lol😅

[harlockgaming]

I work three jobs and go to school full time. This past semester, I bought an iPad to take better notes, be more productive, and stay on track. I’ve never had these issues before but thought an iPad would help. In the end, I burned myself out by taking too many linear notes and writing way too much. Your videos have been a tremendous help in refining my thought process on how I study and manage my time.

I don't understand why people are hating on Dr. Justin he is puting information for free but he cannot summarize it all in one video. Learning is very complicated and im in his course I tell you its worth it. It would save you a lot of time.

[dre]

Bro, you are genuinely a great person for putting this out for free. Even when i graduate from school im gonna buy your course. This stuff is extremely transferable to life as well. Cant thank you enough

[rubenberstecher]

Justin I was honestly shocked to hear that you are getting hate. You have literally changed my life. I cannot thank you enough. And I still have so much more to do from your course! I am so excited! Do not listen to those people please. Have a smashing day

I LIKE THE LIGHTING! I CAN SEE HIS VIDEO EDITING SKILLS IMPROVING STEP BY STEP!!!

[adinrich]

I just feel blessed that I found this channel❤

[lovelymox]

I can't wait to begin the program! I love learning, but I've always struggled to remember what I've learned since I used lines to take notes, but I've tried mind maps, and I've been able to memorize the topic much more just by looking at each area! I can't wait. Thank you, Justin!

Can't agree more how essential critical evaluation is in elevating to the next level. It's like how a recreational badminton player can play badminton casually for 40 - 50 years and at most master only the few skills he/she tried to learn as a novice. No transcendence!

[Frenk]

Such an underated channel 🙏bless you Justin
