How I Stay Focused Studying for Long Hours. Full Guide.

This is a 3-step FULL guide teaching you to focus intensely for long hours and get into the flow state every day.
I don't think I've ever worked this much on a video and I'm truly excited to put this one out tbh because I 100% know that if people proactively follow all the practical actions in the video and listen to the steps, they will significantly change the way they study, improve their learning speeds drastically and genuinely start to enjoy what they're doing.
You guys said you prefer longer full guides with detailed high-value teachings so here it is. But the truth is making this video was also selfish...
I wanted to level up my own focus and honestly these last few weeks, after implementing what I've read and researched, it's been OFF the charts.
So I really hope you guys find it as valuable as I have myself! Thank you for all the support so far.

Also noticed that the writometer was replaced by a pencil👀👀 The visuals were amazing🌻🌻🌻 Now I gotta go watch two of your other letters yayyyyyyyyyy.

    I have been struggling a lot through so many stuff these days . I have always been a good student but somehow I am at a point of my life where I feel like I've almost ruined everything especially academically , but somehow I found you and after listening to you , I feel like I should give it one more try , one more time and see what differences it would make , i really respect you and your words make sense maybe I was just in need of someone like you , being an introvert it's hard for me to approach people but glad I found you , wish you were my brother

    i agree w this vid mostly, i think you are one of the only study guide KZreadrs that go straight to the point and be realistic. This is 100% for studying and I hope people don't mix this we fixing bad habits and creating new good habits. Studying should not be a habit you want to improve 1% at a time. You MUST be passionate about it and excel and really hack your way into doing it. I totally agree with your philosophy of studying and all that and I'm on board with what your channel has to offer in the future, thank you for making it click in my head what I need to do.

    Found you today and felt that ok come on let's listen to one more youtuber this last time for studying tips, what i found was really jawdropping to me that dude i used to do those things which u ve mentioned "unknowingly" and get good grades, but after going to depression, i somewat felt that i lose interest in learning or what's the issue, and tried numerous ytbers out there and nothing seems relatable or like nothing gonna work out for me, but coming back to some of your videos, its like i regained the gist of what i forgotten, and u have such a good analytical and summarizing or mind mapping skills( no guys m not flattering here,) .....thanks man for this theory... i guess no other thing would be big enough in a comment than a person watching ur video, implement that(with obvio some personal tweaks) and then tell u the results, am an aspiring chartered accountant from India, will surely revert back, n yeah u fulfilled ur task of producing quality content on yt cheers! ... someone do 1 like so that i get a reminder to come here. take care.

    I was already doing the first ones (not having social media on my phone+ archiving all non urgent contacts on whatsapp, having a study routine+ planning work time) but I think one thing I will take away from this video is to have weekly task lists instead of daily ones and having a small prayer at the start of a study session. I really liked the waiting for 10 min before giving in method as well. Thank you for the tips :)

    Assalam o Alaikum, I have found your videos to be incredibly helpful, and I am sincerely thankful to you. If you don't mind, I would like to offer some important suggestions related to your videos, which I believe are currently missing. 1. In your video, you shared four important points, but you did not mention the subpoints associated with each of these points. This omission left me feeling confused and somewhat bored. 2. While you included brief clips from different videos, I recommend adding more short clips that visually reinforce the concepts you are discussing. For example, you could show clips of your studying sessions, visits to cafes, books you're reading, and other relevant visuals. 3. Although you added subtitles, you did not use the full screen effectively. To enhance clarity, consider displaying facts or percentage data in a larger font either to the left or right side of the screen or utilize bar graphs and charts. 4. Your video was quite lengthy, and I found it challenging to discern when you were discussing important points versus providing examples. To improve viewer comprehension and engagement, consider using clear headings, distinguishing main points from examples, and providing concise explanations to help maintain the focus of your audience. Thank you for considering these suggestions, and I look forward to seeing how they might enhance your already valuable content.

    Really appreciate the time taken to write this up thank you! The vid was a lot less edited than my other vids because I wanted it to feel like more of a natural convo. Do you think a fully edited vid wouldve been better? But you're right we cudve added a couple more clips and some specific research / stats for sure. And as for the structuring of the vid, I'll try to make the subheadings clearer next time in the edits. Thank you for the feedback tbh it helps with the direction of the content a lot.
