I don't think motivation should be the thing that drives you to do something. Motivation is so fleeting. Discipline sticks around much longer & I think that's what helps to get things done. Motivation is great for starting off, but discipline will get you to the finish line.

When I tick something off my to-do list I usually think it's time for a break. And then I find the book very interesting, or my snack turns into making dinner for the whole family and then I succesfully didn't do anything else from my list for the entire day again.

SAMEEE!! And then people recommend writing a timetable so that you are more "forced" to keep on but I'm always too optimistic and plan too many tasks and too little time per task. And when I need more time for one task, I'm just thinking "oh screw it, might as well be unproductive the rest of the day" and I'll not do any other task because I wouldn't be able to finish all of them anyway 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

I know. It's just so hard. At the end of the day it's usually still a productive day but the tasks I wanted to do are still unfinished. I am working on becoming better at taking breaks and then returning to work by using timers or setting myself a few hours every day which I'll try to use for my to-do list. The best for me are weekly to-do lists. If I get distracted on Tuesday, I have more left on my list on Wednesday. And usually that motivates me to finish before the weekend and have free days for all the distraction I want/find.

@@Anne-id2zt those are good strategies, I will definitely try them out! Thank you! Concerning the weekly to-do list, how do you find the right amount of tasks to do so that you have neither too many to tackle nor too few to be productive every day on the list?
But also remember that it is okay to NOT be motivated (nothing wrong with this video by the way I totally agree with Ruby's advices). In this society where we are always push to always be productive and do always more, we have to integrate that our emotions, feelings, circumstances are not always in favor for this productive state of mind. And even if sometimes we don't have "choice" and that we have to achieve a task, listening to what's our body is telling us is also important. Having rest, doing a fun activity out of work, not achieving all of our to do list but being proud for the "little" that we at least have did matter !
You're motivated because you LOVE what you do, Ruby! Studying and being productive is naturally aligning and energizing to you.
I love how the bird chirping in the background makes Ruby even more positive and radiant.

How I found my motivation was interesting. I was doing 'mediocre' in my A levels and wasn't getting the A*s I wanted, then one day I decided to go 'all in' for revision and see if putting in so much work was worth it. I came out with the 2nd highest mark in Psychology in my entire year and since then, I knew that if I put in the work to learn and understand the material, it would always be worth it. Studying for me is like going to the gym, you have a good work out and push your limits to get better and in the mean time, you enjoy yourself and get good results!

I know this is an old video and you must get this a lot, but daaaamn you’re a great inspiration. I came from a very troubled home, so to be able to benefit from and be influenced by your attitude is genuinely life changing. I had a friend just like you at secondary school and sixth form (who studied English at Oxford funnily enough) and you remind me of him a lot. So it’s amazing to be able to watch these videos and take part in your study-alongs and get caught up in your positive energy. So thank you dearly, it’s a great help
Hearing the birds makes me long for spring like nothing else!
“it is possible to turn work into play” me: that only works for ruby🤔 hahah but will def try out some tips in this video. just finished another exam and I need to start grinding on those lectures :)
Tank you Ruby! Along the lines of the “motivation-scent”: you can chew a specific flavour of gum while you study a certain subject. Your brain associates the flavour with the topic/subject. Chewing that flavoured gum when you take an exam for example will facilitate accessing this part of knowledge in your brain because the flavour will go hand in hand with the subject ;)

What makes me feel always motivated to study is my deep dream and wish to be a diplomat and represent my country abroad. I have to tell you, Ruby, I am just like you, I always loved to study and this makes me so happy! My love for studies and my dreams are enough to motivate me.
"I am so productive!!" It was really well encated Ruby😂😂. You should definitely add your acting skills in your videos😜
Ruby, thank you SO much for making this kind of videos. You can't imagine how helpful they are. I've been waiting for this video since the one about procrastination. And you uploaded it just in time, because I have to do a heavy homework and I wasn't motivated. Now yes!! Thank you again :)
I need this cos I've been anxious on and off about everything, so thank you x Having more of a schedule and being aware of these things should hopefully prevent me from having internal meltdowns.
Omg it is so clear that you love doing what you're doing! Your enthusiasm makes me motivated.
i respect this mindset so much. i’ve always wanted a video like this from you Ruby, so glad to finally see it 💗💗
I loved this video so much!! your energy, outfit, hair and editing - all perfectionnnn
It makes so more sense to take breaks during a task. How have I not thought about this before! You rock Ruby!
this came at such an amazing time for me. I’d really lost touch with everything I’d found enjoyable. coming back to long term goals and how the little things I do now can help me reach them has really motivated me. thanks so much for this video! x
You are actually so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing all of your tips and helping others to succeed. You’re an angel :))
Missed this video in the past but it's really well done, I like the way you've edited it!!!
Oh man, I needed this video like 6 hours ago!! Thank you, Ruby. The tips at the end are clutch! I'm dealing with major productivity burnout at the moment after months and months of high performing work and trying to decide if the best thing to do is power through or just take a big break from studies or other obligations.
This was an amazing video Ruby!! You seemed so happy the entire time, and it in turn made me happy as well!! :) 💗
You've been a motivation to me since I started to watch your channel 3 years ago. Thank you for always being there for me and helping me to study. Love from Turkey💞🌸
This is just what I needed Ruby! I was feeling so down this lockdown because I felt like I was comparing myself to everyone else being motivated, but I realised that I wasn't even trying! This came at the perfect time and I want to thank you for sharing this love :)

Hey, Ruby! Just want to thank you for your videos. I found that it is much easier when you turn something you have to do to what you love, just finding such things that you can admire in everything. Thank you for being sooo positive and... Sincere with us( I just can't find the right word). You showed that everybody has ups and downs, but there is always something good that can help to keep going. I just love your videos! Thank you so much! Have a nice day and stay healthy!

I love your videos so much. I'm starting my first year of university this autumn and I'm excited to apply these tips to my college life!
Thank you so much, I followed a to do list app honestly for the first time ever just yesterday. (6/20) I cleaned my room efficiently, counted every pair of shoes that I owned and sorted through my closet even measuring my closet to figure out how to get more organization drawers to fit inside since I purged my wardrobe a few weeks ago ready for some change in my room. I can not recommend to do lists enough they are so helpful. Checking the boxes does wonders! I just pray that I can figure out a study method for Math and figure out how to study efficiently and learn all I can for my test! I came across your channel a few months ago and I even subbed. I realized I wasn't getting any notifications you uploaded but I hit that bell icon just to be safe. I absolutely love your content Ruby!
This video was super helpful Ruby! I have been a lot more motivated when I started watching your videos! Have a great day :)
