This man never changes. I feel like no matter what trials he goes through, no matter how difficult times gets, he is always actively taking care of himself and reminding others to do the same. That's pretty inspiring to me.

To be fair, you can never be sure of it. If you asked anyone for these tips - they would give you mostly the same question. We all know we need to turn off notifications while studying, we all know self care is important.... The key is in actually doing all these stuff. And you dont know if he is doing all of that and to what extent..... unless he is vlogging everyday, but even that can be staged.

@@LL-wu5ui @LL that's true, it totally could be all staged and he might not practice what he preaches at all. I wouldn't be surprised, thats more human and real anyway. I guess what I found noteworthy for me was that I generally don't put myself first especially since entering university, school is everything, and I started watching John fish at that time I entered 2-3 years ago. And this guy is constantly saying the same thing over and over again in these videos, its predictable and simple . But this time he actually looks like hes having a little bit of a hard time and hates how online school is, he honestly looks not that happy right now having all of his productivity preferences destroyed by online school. But he still went and adapted the same things as he has always said before to now. Wellbeing, mental health, you'll do better if you take care of yourself better, blah blah... But somehow I'm happy that he didn't change. Sometimes it's nice when things don't change, especially when so many things are.

*SUMMARY* 1. *Technology is distracting.* 0:50 -Practice attention/time management: when you're in class/doing homework, fully focus (turn off notifications, take physical notes, use fullscreen). Learn things right the first time around. 2. *Self-care.* 2:58 -Find time in the day to do what makes you happy: go for a walk, cook, read a book, make fancy coffee. Use this to help you escape the mundanity. 3. *Prioritize yourself.* 4:40 -Constrained optimization: maximizing something, while given restraints. -Optimize your wellbeing first, while ensuring you keep a certain acceptable level of grades (not vice versa) -You are more than just a student.

"See your identity as more than just a student" - John Fish

A friendly reminder to everyone (especially underclassmen in college) that this semester does not define your academic capabilities. I'm graduating this semester and I felt like a freshman again because I was taken so off guard because study skills I previously used didn't work for me in this setting anymore. If this semester didn't go as well as you planned, remember that you did the best you could given the circumstances and you can only learn and do better from here. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

One thing I really appreciate about your videos is that you don't generalize and you always encourage us to be a better version of ourselves instead of following rules and standards that don't work for every single person. Thank you for your work.

John is right if you take if you improve your well being you will do better in school. As a college student, this semester has been hard for me mentally and physically. But noticing that taking care of my mental health first. Has improved my academics. I’m glad John put this video out.

Trust me. If someone can tell you how to study it’s this man. Solid advice. Been here for a bit now so you can trust me.

As a young teacher, this is so uplifting and I would like to show it to my students, to rise some awareness on themselves and so other dilemmas they're going through. Greetings from Mexico

But my speech teacher who was involved in global marketing the other day said something that helped me understand. She said how will it look on your resume and when it is noted that you dropped out of online school because it was too hard for you. It will hurt you in the long run Alexa so press on and dont give up. It is hard but dont give up hold on to your dreams and remember them as you do your school. God bless you have a great day.

John : « I used to be top of my class, but now that I take care of myself i’m better. »

Omg I’m not the only one struggling. I completely failed this semester.

I'll be honest, I love this type of content from you where you share some introspection as to why you're successful. It feels kind of dumb to admit but sometimes your content that pertains to your accomplishments can be depressing for me because I am not at a point in my life where I can call myself successful. Watching your content like this that shows your weaknesses and how you address them really motivates and inspires me. I hope you get what I mean, I really appreciate your content nonetheless.

I not only love yr videos but I love the community you've created. Scrolling through the comment section and reading and relating to people trying to do their best in life feels like home. thank you for this video and not that I would wish struggle upon anyone, it is really comforting to know that it's not just me that's struggling and struggling isn't failing so thank you.

omg i read #ad as #sad and I was like same, John, same 😂

I'm always extremely grateful for you sharing what you learn and so inspired by the ability you have to look for ways to come back to yourself, it helps me remind myself of doing the same. Online school has felt like a blur and it's been so hard to be connected with what I really want. Thank you for this :)

for a person with my level of self-control online school is a nightmare.

Self-care is conducive to performance. Very well explained, John. Finding the same thing for myself, this semester. Only wishing it hadn't taken a global pandemic to be taught this...

Thank you for making these videos! They being so much value and I really do believe your videos have helped me improve and have impacted my life greatly! Thank you!

I'm in high school, and the main goal at school for me was to socialize and make new friends. I would wake up so motivated, ready for the upcoming day, but since the pandemic started I'm not interested in school any more, now I barely put any effort into the assignments and I've been counting the days until the semester is over

Thank you so much.... That was a firm advice. I've been a victim of tiresome online classes and was getting kinda mentally depressed earlier this hell of a year. But now things are getting right as I am pushing forward and moving on.

thanks john! your message is awesome and you’re a big role model for me!

John: I want to get grades that's satisfactory for me Also John:gets an A

Haven’t watched through the whole video but I want to thank you for this one. I needed it

thank you so much john!! i needed this

Thank you for the advice, listening to you feels pretty much like talking with a close friend. Im studying CS as well and im trying to figure out all of this as well, take care of yourself. peace

I really hate online school, all my middle school was A+, I'm about to fail my first class ever right now.

Currently, I'm at the worst part of the year. 7 exams in 3 weeks, while working 30h + 15 hours of tutoring.... is extremely exhausted. 5 more days to go, and the exams will be over. Maybe then I'll be less stressed out. I just have to survive 5 more days.

Thank you so much for making this video!I’ve been really struggling with online school,this helped me gain some perspective )

thank you for the message!! I've been struggling a lot with anxiety this semester and I'm really afraid of my grades deteriorating because I fail to study effectively. the idea of prioritizing your well-being and yourself as a person more than your performance at uni really speaks to me. I needed to hear that. I still have plenty of time and my productivity (especially in such a hard time) doesn't define me as a person :)

one of the best things about john fish is how honest he is and how is not trying to the typical thing. thank you man!

Thank you John for taking time to talk about this.

True mannn!!!! Self care is the best care

totally agree when you talked about the self care stuff. I dont have to follow people around trying to make things like they does. Just be yourself, discover what makes you feel better, and finally u will get the true happiness.

Hey John! THANKS A LOT! I just got into *IIT Bombay,* India's Best College for pursuing engineering. After preparing rigourously for 2.5yrs just to get into this college, I was too happy to join it... But since our semester is being held online, I was struggling a lot while studying at my dream college... Thanks a lot for this video... Love from INDIA!

I have been taking online classes for 5 years so I have adjusted to it. I just left college because I kind of had a realization that I want to persue my real passion of Environmental Studies. After taking Business classes for 7 years it’s getting a bit stale. I am going back in January.

So brilliant. Thank you John

Good afternoon! You always have such wise things to say:) Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Thank you so much! I’m a computer Science at University of the People. So excited for you (and myself). Love your videos!

Thank you. I've been feeling lost lately almost to the point of asking myself who am I when I'm not studying? This chat was really honest and it give me inspiration to take care of me so I don't end up on a mental hospital. Thank you

this is one of your best videos, so relatable and helpfull , thanks

the definition of time management: freeing up as much time as possible to do things that you want to do while still getting done the things that you have to do. is sooooo well said & something i am v much struggling with, bc i feel like all i've been doing is just school while simultaneously never having enough time to finish all the school T.T

Good! The growth book is back! Been waiting for months.

It’s always motivating ✊🏾 Love your content 👍🏾

Thank u from all my heart for making this video

This applies really well with working from home in general! No longer a student but love your advice. Thanks!!

I completely agree on the point that my studies have definitely become me rather than a part of me. I just have to maintain the level. I too remember on my first year how I used to throw myself from class to class and be okay in not having fun and scoring good. I am just now on my second year trying to balance out. Thanks for all those advices👩🏻‍💻👌🏻

What a great way of applying Lagrange-like constraints

amazing tips! i think the toughest part is the lack of compassion from teachers, they just don't seem to get wht we're going thru and its makes mental health even worse

Great video as always. Having a well balanced life is so important.

Sending a virtual hug mate, keep doing your thing! Love your content

ur advices are helping me alot thanks!!!

Definitely dropped out I’m going back I just had anxiety and was mentally drained I’m learning how to manage this so when I enroll back this fall I can do better!! Know better good luck:))

Thank you bro !

The greatest advice that I've could have received from someone else, I think that in part I knew it but I needed that encouraging factor who is you, thanks for giving those advice are so helpful at least in all these things that we are going through.

Thank you for making this!

Thanks for your videos you helped me to be a better student.

Just needed this

this is just aazing, like really, everything you said, i think that right now it´s really important to remiend ourself that we also need care

I started really strong but recently I have struggled. Im going to use thanksgiving break to regroup and finish strong.

This video really helped me, thanks John

Super great advice regarding self care, I think a lot of people could benefit from taking on that type of mindset and understanding :)

Hey John, Skillshare is awesome, I just begin to use it - Im learning Korean language on it - It is my fun time of the day as you say 'self care' and doing something which makes you happy everyday :) And when lockdown will be over in France, I ll go visit Korea!!! In the meantime, Im simply recording yoga videos everyday on my youtube channel (im a yoga teacher dont worry) - good challenge right ? love xxx

Oh thank you. I'm really struggling with all that e-school lately..

Currently doing studies online. Will take some of your advice. Thanks, John. :)

Thank you for this video, it really saved me for this last end of the semester.

Another tip. Create a designated work space. Desk, pretty fraiy lights, no distractions such as tvs or noisey rooms where you can hear the traffic outside. Create a space where you ONLY focus and study. And do nothing else. Also create a space eoth good lighting and good back support. Get a bolster pillow for your bed.
