Life saver. I've always picked sleep and grades on the sleep-social-grades triangle, but perhaps this video can convince me otherwise.

[HumanHuman.]

Peace upon you all.
Everyone please give a HUGE shout-out to Amy for the extra effort she has put this time to make this vlog for YOU ALL with a high level of production quality! Not the kind of production quality with filters and special effects etc, but one that has used tech & resources to make the content more informative, interactive & instructional!

Best way to give a shout-out to the Caltech Queen is to share this vlog with others. I know this might seem like an overused line, but honestly speaking time management etc issue has been an issue being discussed by so many on the internet but hardly anyone is explaining it the way Amy is doing it! To maintain a balance between sleep, study/work etc and other positive activities! Where many have failed to comprehensively outline a plan to manage these aspects of life, there Amy has successfully come up with a comprehensive wholesome plan that inspires you to balance your health and passion! (Maintaining your health should be your passion too.)
And all that in a high production vlog that mentions & explains tools & methodologies to do that! So we must appreciate all she is doing for everyone here and take out just a couple of minutes to share it with friends. I think everyone of us can do this at least. This will not only encourage Amy to keep being on the growth pathway to make her content even better in the future, but also keep you contented that you are sharing realistic narratives of productivity that show ACTUAL ways to be more productive rather than pumping you up with shallow so called motivational narratives.

Let's all take a little step today and share this amazing message by Amy! Just try to absorb what I am saying, because we need more of these positively influential time management/productivity etc methodologies out there in a world where fake productivity narratives are so common.

If you've read till here, you CARE for Amy, for her community, for the world and thus for the human race!

Honestly... _really_ glad to hear this. Time-blocking is debatably the _number _*_one_*_ thing_ that's been scaring me off of _truly_ going into productivity optimisation. Boxing off everything in my week sounds like a flow-draining, will-sapping, living... well you get the idea...
I actually feel the same about reps vs. time constraints (for the most part) as well, so that tracks. 😁
Great vid. 👍🏾

hey amy, just to let you know that i'm so gratefull that you made a lot of tips, i'm so glad to find your channel! i just like to let you know that i like your long videos! and i actually never skip it so far😭

[chloekoh]

I fell in love with the template when you showed it here. Thank you for spending your precious hours making it and this video. It has been a blessing, truly. ❤

[holzfallen]

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing these tips that are not just a repackaging of everything already out there. I have an 8th grader with anxiety and we spend a lot of time trying to un-knot her feelings so we can move on to the next task. The feeling of time pressure really pings her anxiety and leads to a lot of feeling 'frozen' -- which makes the pressure worse. Your suggestions for finding systems and habits that make the best use of time are absolutely invaluable. Thank you thank you thank you.

[hrishetarajkumari]

Man, this video couldn't have popped up at a better time! I am a medical aspirant and I am struggling to manage time and with so much work pending, I've been feeling overwhelmed and distracted and I have been thinking how to get better at time management so yeah, THANK YOU!

[rashichoubey-srlx]

I am done with my mid terms and am preparing for preboards. I wasn't able yo do *my* best in the mid terms and even if I ranked first I could've done better, it was just that I has participated in so many debates, muns and those had drained me because I well, didn't win them all. I finally have time to manage everything and focus on boards (pretty big deal in Indian) and have been consistent lately which feels good tbh. I genuinely enjoy studying and well your videos are a great help so yes, I hope all good things for you. This turned into a rant i'll get back to the video now, lots of love

[maneesha]

I've watched some of your videos and they're helpful.a real lifesaver🎉

[asterialumin_]

[ilyjesusable]

Hi Amy! Going to start using this for spring 2024! Thank you for making this template :)

[twmusic]

Literally yesterday I was thinking that I needed a better planning system... and then this morning this video arrived in my notifications! You're a lifesaver!!!

[natashacordova-diba]

Hi Amy, I am new to your channel, but I am already a big fan of your content! Thank you for sharing tangible and actionable tips; I will definitely be using them (as well as the Notion digital planner template that you made). Would love to see Notion-specific videos in the future as well! 😄

[Iyahkinpo]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH😭♥️ HOLY COW THIS IS SO HELPFUL, THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭♥️♥️♥️

I'm a ninth grader here, learning have always been easy for me, I have really good grades (between 19 and 20 out of 20) but I am extremely anxious all the time, always stressed about my grades because I've always thought they define my worth ( like if I didn't have the grade I wanted I would think I'm a failure). And seeing how she works so hard compared to how I work (hard too but not as hard as her) I feel like I'm not doing enough and I will never succeed. Because everytime I do something on my own that I normaly enjoy doing, I feel guilty about not studying. I mean I don't plan my life like that and I don't study in waiting lines so it makes me feel like I'm so lame. I would really like to make my whole life about studying like her (also sorry if my english is bad I'm learning)

[nhungphanhoang]

I haven’t watched the whole videos, but I have to pause it to comment that I’m immensely grateful because you have create the digital planner that I have searched for the whole year because I cannot master Notion to make it aesthetic and organized🎉. Besides, I find your videos are like practically helpful for me and also the other people, like I have watched a lot of self-help videos, but they are just Talk some thing that in general, and do not have a real action about it but you are different, so I just wanna say thanks I really like your video’s style

[marysiajeleniewska]

thank you so much Amy!! I'm determined to improve my time management skills :D

[layne]

i needed this!! ive always chosen sleep and grades in the past but this year I've leaned into the sleep and social life on the triangle and I've lose my straight A streak and want to get back on track. tyyy <3
