When the world needed him he came back🥺

I remember how James's videos motivated me to study 5 to 8 hours a day. Today, having passed 1st place in a university, I´ll continue doing best. Hello from Brasil, James.

I have an exam tomorrow morning and i started panicking and crying thinking I won't make it, i almost closed the books and gave up but then i opened this video and started crying and studying at the same time, you helped me a lot James even though you won't read this comment but I want to thank you, you saved the night, may God save you whenever you need it ❤
Edit: i did well on the exam, never lose hope

the reason i cant focus because i dont have a cute fat orange cat to distract me from other devices

Oh man, it’s been a while since I’ve commented this, but it’s good to do this again. First of all good to see another study session from you, even if it’s just a video. Of course as you all want, 0:10 is when the study session starts. Good luck everyone! And I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

[jimberry]

his setup is incredible but i also think that his room 'decor' is actually really immersive if u think abt it. it was because of james that i started taping my notes on the wall

I'm taking my final medical exams in 1.5 months. So far, I've had trouble believing in myself and therefore being consistent in my studying (1 month). I'll be documenting here the improvement in my consistency to study every day (except for one day/half day break per week) by playing this video in the background.

Edit
Day 1: managed to focus for 3h30
a boost in my motivation, I did a 2h session + a 1h30 session. It was encouraging and satisfying, but I'd like to be able to study more hours a day.

Day 2: managed to focus for 3h
worked 1h30 + 1h30, I had to move some things into my new apartment, so I didn't manage to work any more. I've set myself the goal of working 7 hours a day from now on!

Day 3: managed to focus for 6h
soooo happy cuz i managed to focus during 6hours! my energy is getting good (nb: doing 20min fitness exercises every morning before studying gets me going)

Day 4: managed to focus for 40 min
in the morning i needed to take time to sleep, relax, write, etc. and in the afternoon i had to go to a job interview 1h30 away, so studying clearly couldn't be a priority today! a bit stressed for tomorrow

Day 5: managed to focus for 4h30
4h30 divided into 2h + 2h30, in between i took a piano lesson, i ate, i went shopping for 1-2 items on sale, i bought a new computer case because mine was broken... i feel like I'm starting to understand my pattern: i'm frustrated because "i don't have enough time to study", but at the same time, i'm devoting time to a lot of other things. soon, as james advised, i'll have to look back on my week: what helped my concentration versus what disadvantaged it. thanks again james for your motivation!

Day 6: managed to focus for 5h30
yaah! it made me want to make a calendar where i can note down the days i work > 5h (thanks james for the streak tracker tip). Near future project: move to a >6h/day focus streak.

Day 7 - exam's in 45 days: managed to focus for 2h
not satisfied... i had to prepare an application for housing in 1 year, i ate with my family at noon, and at the end of the day i had to go and visit the housing in question. it's hopeless how difficult it is to prioritize work, tonight or tomorrow morning i'll probably try to organize the next week taking into account what i can optimize compared to this first week of tracking my progress in my focus of my exam.

Day 8 - exam's in 44 days: managed to focus for 1h30 + improvements for next week
what went well this week: deep and easily reached focus. what went not well this week: consistency and dedication of my time to studying. what i'm improving for next week: i've made myself a schedule on paper for each day, organizing my life around revisions, not the other way around. i hope it pays off!

I just discovered you, but you seem like a down, clever and driven person, love your drive, focus, and (from what I can tell) the way you are connected to the earth and constantly and consciously make an effort to keep it that way. How you prioritise and value your time is inspiring, thank you for your time :)

The GOAT !
Getting paid to study at a large financial institution now because of how I learned to long form focus here!
I appreciate you James !!

[chokenbako]

You look awesome studying, I'm used to procrastinate but I'm gonna make an effort to study while this video makes me company, tysm!
