i see how it could be misleading. but yeah the reason i mentioned that studying you need to spend time doing it is because afterwards i said that ideally we WOULD have all the time but being efficient is better:) also i completely agree about time studied doesn’t equal results and the video before that (the one with 650k views) that was basically the whole basis of my video. but nice video and i noted things i should do better like defining terms. Also i agree with definitely NEVER taking what other people tell you to do but fit it so it works for you

[samsunggalaxya]

Thank you for always mentioning 8h of sleep!

I am now trying to prioritize my sleep atm, so having this reminder from you means a lot

[minoobohatkiewicz]

As for mixing subjects - I do find it works really well for me! After studying history which has a lot of facts, names, and dates to remember doing maths is almost like a break for my brain since it's just using a formula and logic. There absolutely are days when I have to focus on e.g. literature and history, but I try to fit a quick maths revision somewhere in between so I don't mix everything up :))

Ur so real. The video about how to get A’s inspired me to try harder in school. Thank youuuu

[bsaruulmaa]

Great video! 🌟 I totally get it now – effective learning means breaking it down into short, regular study sessions, staying engaged with the material, and customizing your study methods to fit your style. Thanks for these awesome tips! 📚🧠

[possiblystudying]

I totally agree with basing your study sessions with the classes you're taking. When I was in highschool, I would study the least enjoyable class first (usually math lol) and then would study English. It gave my brain the break it needed, it boosted my mood, and I was still studying and completing the necessary assignments wthout feeling like I'm taking way too long studying to the point where I would burn out. And of course, I would end my studying with a good webtoon, anime, or kdrama LOL. You gotta treat yourself too!

My biology teacher said that time is needed to create the neurological links which are responsible for learning, and I completely agree. When you learn early the knowledge is just there when you need it. At least for me, but it worked wonders. Now in university I don't have the time with my job, but I study when I can

[georgepalmer]

I agree wholeheartedly with this. I have found that caffeine affects my learning process too. My brain gets flighty when I have too much caffeine in me. But there is a manic phase in certain types of learning. I read a book about the deciphering of the DNA molecule by Watson and Crick in a "History of Science" class, and one of them mentioned that they went through a "manic phase" in their studies. I believe there is a manic phase in creative work. It verges on euphoria. They talk about "remote associations" sometimes when people are discussing creativity. Unfortunately, too many people have come to associate creativity with doing drugs. I think there are writers whose drug habits had a profound effect on their work, and the image of a hard drinking writer is almost a cliche. I've also found that isolation makes me more creative. I am more likely to get those "remote associations" when I have spent a lot of time alone.

I’m always a night person. But still when I have 8 hours sleep and wake up early I’m more productive and get so much work done. When I’m at school, I have to motivation but it drops during the day. The fact that you can get so much done in the morning is amazing . Sometimes the small thing matter.

I love your videos!! Thank you so much, they help me alot. However I have one request, which is that you always mention deep work sessions and lately I've been trying to do them, but no matter what, I always end up taking longer than the expected time, and even if I clear my study space, make timers, I just feel even more pressure to finish and procrastinate. Nothing I do works. Maybe it would be a great idea if you made a video talking about how to do deep work? I'm sure a whole video for that topic would really help me and many others out!

Also, when you mention you study 2 hours a day, for me I don't even have time to study for tests due to the amount of homeworks and projects given. Especially essays, they're the worst. Does doing your homework/etc count as your 2 hour study session?

[sarahsuper]

was just watching both of your guys videos back to back and then you uploaded this lol

[EnochBrown-sj]

You are the best. Please don't stop making videos. You're doing the world a huge favor!!!

[Ilovecallumturner]

Hey ! My favourite studytuber reacting to my favourite studytuber

[account-rvhg]

The word "quality rather than quantity" is also in Japan, a major exam country, but there is also a saying in Japan that "you can't enter a prestigious university as long as you don't do quantity and want quality."

Sorry for my bad English.

[MostBoringPersonEver-wwnk]

I'm asian and I never study, never take any time to do anything but lay down and munch on chips, never sit still. I still have As. I am still unsure what I am doing right but you know at least im proof time studying does not mean good grades. I'm just chilling.

[Linda-vjkp]

Thank you so much. You are the best study YouTuber! ❤

[FH_PADCASTS-lj]

Hi Amy. your study videos are the best but can you make a video about how you practiced English? cuz you are speaking very well. and by the way, I am Asian too :D. good luck

[chaosopher]

What made math work for me was seeing it do something. A battery, a couple of components, and a multimeter or two can show an awful lot of math done on paper. Likewise, I like to take things apart to see how they work, too.

[robinjrgensen]

How did I not know of Khan Academy!!!! Thanks a lot!
