Let me know if you want me to talk more about working 100 hour weeks with a reply down below 👇
Elon musl Is not really that productive he just owns things the employees are the ones who actually do the work. As we could se with Tweeter he is just not that smart. His family came from wealth (oil welth) and even faked him a degree. He is just not that smart or productive.
Yeah man totally. And I wasn't able to understand in your video criticising the pomodoro as to what are the downsides and how that other method improves on it? Anyway how do we join you for personal coaching?
Yes please.
@@seetsamolapo5600 Watch Archer's video on Flowmodoro
Yes please, we would like to hear about it.
I want to see the 100 hour workweek video🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Task prioritization is a concept that I have been unintentionally and kind of unconsciously struggling with. You just put into words what I couldn't. I want to look more into this for sure. I also plan to take your course next summer! I can't wait! AND I would definitely like to hear more about your 100-hour work week. Do share!!
I've been through Justin's course paused this month for personal reasons. I'm telling you this because I've spent very little time and i ve got more benefits than any high school college or university method combined. It's almost criminal that they don't teach what he does. I don't think he says anything that i didnt hear but as i digged deeper in to how the foundations of the course and post strengthening that then adding the extra layers give you benefits like nothing else. Even in this video I feel like it was a great refresher for me of the course. I'm a beginner by all standards but just this modification makes a ton of difference. Planned discomfort made fun of i had to sum up Justin's course for ya. Thank your for your time 🙏
Justin seriously went super saiyan on productivity
I really like part with how to evaluate systems or study techniques. I never would've ask myself before if there's a way to achieve the same but for less cost. I always just asked what works. Thank you Justin
Also make a video on Time Scheduling during school times, since I want to still get a lot done (which I do, as I am Mr. Hoorn), but also have to be in school physically during the week, as well as travel. Thus, 3 hour time blocks are not really doable, especially since school wastingly eats up my energy. I am looking for even better ways to do it.
Hey Justin! I personally feel this will work well for me. I'll give it a try for a month and let you know my experience doing so. Thanks for all your quality content. Keep Going Brother.
This is really interesting Justin! I was on your course and started doing the 30 mins time blocking you taught on your course and your ideas really do resonate with me dearly, scheduling has really been one of the things that has increased my efficiency.
Hey have u mastered bear hunting system?
Would love to hear what motivated and motivates you to continually be better at studies and as a study coach - what motivated you in primary/high school/university to lead you to what you pursue so strongly now
❤️ i was just detailed by tasks in hand and was frustrated.....and ur video soothed me with the solution mindset which was overcomed by frustration presently
Hi Justin, thank you for the video - your closing segment and the discussion on prioritizing tasks that will take you the furthest - is an idea I've come across in Rory Vaden's book procrastinate on purpose - the key idea is do things today, to multiple your time tomorrow. What are something that you do to multiply your time for future you? How can one assess where to start to apply and multiply their time?
Again great video 📸 , been in program since july this year , to all those who in doubt course is worth it but put in practice and have time for it ... ... It very good ... I think if this video was before i would not stopped my progress ( thinking it is rushing plus my mental health was kinda worse so i made no action ) Now when i revise the higher ground series it made me realize that decision are most important like i want to take break from everything , if i had made a good decision then i would at delicated or prioritize gym , icanstudy , vacation .... Thanks for this video . ... Regard Ajay sharma
In 2015 I was in the 5th grade. 7 years later I would have never thought Justin Sung would change my life. Thank you Justin!
Justim uploaded a video so I am here thank you Justin!!
Could you make a video about making long term notes. It would greatly interest me if you use a variation of zettelkasten or something else.
Thank you so much for this video Surprisingly I didn't knew about time blocking and task prioritisation !! glad I watched this video fully, this will really help me in Jee exam, if you don't know it is a pretty famous exam here in India
Good luck on your exam !! 🎉 also from India
@@ClearBlueSky1 Thank you :) and same to you, be happy
been loving these novel video's their sick!
Can you make a video about task management more deeply ? I got the basic idea but I am confused to apply It to my daily tasks. Maybe I can If I think more about It but It would really help If you elaborated a little bit more.
Please make more videos on working 100 hours.. your videos truly changed my life. Please let them coming. Can you please share which app your using for time management. Thank you!!
Justin! Could you analyse the Cambridge international exams syllabus, millions of us have to chug down syllabus content in 5 months, please go through the physics, chem, and math syllabus for As and A levels! Would mean a lot. How to manage past papers with theory, School, book reading, tuition, health etc
Great tips and ideas. I know I've gone through AS, BS degrees okay but now that I am going for my MSN/NP it is quite challenging. I think it is due to the pressure of wanting to be better with what I know and not just memorizing but understanding and applying. It's frustrating trying to learn the best way to study and manage tasks while in the middle of important information that I'm currently learning in my studies/courses. How does one implement your study along with the plethora amount of studying I am supposed to be doing?
As I'm aware, the amount of knowledge you need to have about a technique to start applying it is extraordinarily small. Justin says that it takes only 15 minutes a day to get sufficient techniques and metaknowledge, and you can start applying them through your current studies.
That point about being able to tell the passage of time accurately is very much my situation as well. I didn’t schedule my time but I was practicing law in a big firm for a bunch of years and it was a pressure cooker about 85-90% of the time. Instilled in me that weird awareness of time passing - and the utility of it is pretty low given what I paid in terms of mental stress. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I often observe that when it comes to task and time management, I ask myself, towards what end am I grinding, optimizing? I have worked the equivalent of 16 hour days for 7 years straight I've burned out and I often wonder about the downfalls of being efficient and productive. Do you explore these questions in previous videos? I guess I'll go take a look and search! Just came across your channel in my feed
Would you recommend this method on larger time blocks (like 30 or 45 minutes)?
Your videos nurture my mind for a becoming better learning mind
Thanks 💡!
Hey Justin.....Can you please make a video on cramming....I mean making a video on doing huge syllabus with higher efficient in less time
Very good, the video explains very well how to manage your time! You showed me that he really is a monster when it comes to work
Fr bro
I think I will try this aswell
I am also very sensitive to time so I could relate... And I am SO guilty of doing a lot of smaller tasks to feel more productive. For example, even if I complete a big assignment, I feel a need to do something small as well just so that I get a feeling of "I worked on two assignments today". It sounds much better than "I only worked on ... today" even if I did get a lot done. However, it doesn't really matter in my case because I have to finish all the assignments I have anyway 🥲and I feel like I can focus better on bigger tasks if I know that I have the smaller ones taken care of. However, I tend to start obsessing over the small stuff to give myself excuses not to work on the big assignments (even if the big assignment is due before the small stuff, I want to get the small stuff done as well). I will practice prioritising! Thanks for bringing this to my attention 💕
Hey, this really resonated with me and I feel the EXACT same way. I feel better with myself knowing I did more tasks irrespective of how important they really were and tend to use the smaller tasks to procrastinate from the bigger tasks. But like you'll I will also practise prioritising because to be fair, doing the bigger tasks is a big sigh of relief usually so I think Justin's method is something I'll test out.
@@Richardafolayan Ayy we're in this together! I was thinking, maybe the reason I do smaller tasks first is because I am scared that they will take me much longer than I expect. What do you think -- why did you, besides feeling productive/busy, tend to work on smaller tasks first?
@@AngelsAndButterflies It's called displacement activity: when we are motivated yet uncertain about which specific actions to take, we become anxious. So we use displacement activity as a coping behavior to soothe ourselves by doing other simple urgent tasks.
@@frederickthethird5302 Aah it's certainly true to some extent, but I feel that's kind of how my brain is wired, e.g I can't do work if my room is messy and it bothers me (small mess is OK). Same with tasks, maller ones annoy me and don't allow me to focus on the bigger one. I don't think it's 100% a coping mechanism for me. But thanks for your comment :) I'll keep it in mind
Two videos from Justin in a week? wow
Hi Doc Justin, does your course teach speed reading techniques?
Thank you for another great video! Can't wait to join you program soon!
Looking forward to having you join us!
On May 22, 2018 Elon tweeted: “I definitely don't do this 5 minute thing. Need to have long uninterrupted times to think. Can't be creative otherwise.”
I knew it
I do appreciate deeper investigations into a subject. If you place a duck upside down instead of right-side up, it is still a duck, albeit from a different perspective. And much may be learned from different perspectives. But there's a point, and people must learn to distinguish between shit and shinola.
Justin, where did you get that sweater with the painting on it?
Justin we need more video on mind map plz
10:40 Brooooo, dont flame urself. This is a skill that indicates, that ure "workflow" works. Its a sign that u "mastered" a basic skill from ur mind, that so many components in brain activly using. (I think :) )
For this to work you have to be immensely motivated. Most mortals want to be more efficient to get more done but not at such a grinding breakneck pace.
Very insightful...by the way is that a Nietzsche clothe?
Time is relative... To enjoyment... So...
I think about who I want to be in 5 years. What job would I want to work? Because I don’t love my job I currently have. I want to buy an apartment, I would like to spend time with my family and cat. :) thank you for putting things in perspective
This video is gold. And it translates in many ways. As someone with ADHD, time management isn't something I can do well at all. The very opposite actually. So I've had to adapt to a more chaotic way my brain is capable of managing life and all it's critical tasks. Yes I fall behind, but it compels the very means to go above and beyond to make up for it. It's something that I've done to succeed unconciously my entire life, and something I had to realise was necessary when I was trying to follow conventional means of studying and productivity, and college deadlines being a huge catalyst, I fell back worse than I ever did in my life. And I was confused and depressed and miserable because who wouldve known the counter intuitive to everything everybody will tell you; is very the thing you will be vye better with as an individual. Once I learnt that, it was like the mist being wiped away after so long. Catching up>trying to keep up. Well... at least outside of sex.
I have adhd time blocking is possible if you make it work for you. Just capture your ideal day
You are a model for the people of the future
In med school currently and I'm being owned by internal medicine. I have an exam in ten hours that I can't do anything about but hopefully I can make improvements to my study methods before my finals in a month's time. I'm signing up for the course once registration opens again. How do you know which length of membership to go for? How long does it take to go through the whole course? P.S. Would love to hear about your journey with medicine @JustinSung - only if you're happy to share, that is.
Maybe the core component to this less-productive stress free system is that you have made consistant income?
That's pretty epic !!
cal Newport preaches this same thing I think in his oak on how to be a high school superstars
I was watching this because i thought scheduling was not for me and he exposed me :D
Scheduling 2-3 90min ultradin sessions makes more sense
10:00 I am experiencing that too......😂😂
I’m still struggling with this.
I can't even complete 3-4 things per day. It's too much. I just want to give up on life. I can't even start work on my passion until I've accumulated a huge amount of money and I can't even pay my bills. My job takes all my mental and emotional energy and I can't force myself to complete other things. It's too much, I don't want to live anymore.
it's a good content, even it's better than your paid courses
Can the study method es you show be applied on math? If yes then HOW?
I am not associated with Dr. Sung, but I have gpa of 4.0 in fourth year of Computer Science (lots of maths 😅) at university. Yes, obviously reading books for maths in much less important, but there is much you can do in application. I'll break it down: - Learning has multiple steps. Among them : - Remembering : knowing y = mx + b - Understanding : using that formula to get m through isolation - Analyzing : knowing how and why the slope plays into calculus, and what you can do with said link. Generally, especially in high school, Remembering with a bit of Understanding is enough. But for math, Analyzing is much more important. It should be NUMBER 1 Priority. So students are stuck because they spent their wholes lives just remembering and understanding. Here are some actionable steps: - When you read a math textbook, always try to guess a formula or any new information. You probably wont get it right but ALWAYS try to guess. It will make you think and extrapolate from your knowledge - If you do not suffer from social anxiety, asking a lot of questions in class will always be helpful. It's embarrassing, but it will force you to analyze what you learn. Even just thinking about possible questions and not asking them will help. - Often I found easy problems boring and somewhat difficult problems exhausting. But when a problem is very hard it becomes a game, sort of like sudoku or a rubiks cube. It doesn't feel good to solve any problem unless they are difficult. And remember that difficulty is relative to who you are. Good Luck :)
Currently in the UK studying Further Maths and CompSci at A level. Appreciate this comment a lot. Would like to know how you remember maths problems, for example if I complete a section in a textbook on complex numbers, how do u remember the steps u took a few months later?
@@koji4059 That's a great question. THEORY : The very idea that you should remember it again and again to ingrain it in your brain is, imo, very flawed with math. You'll notice that lots of people lose their native tongue after not speaking it for years, but it's pretty difficult to forget what 8 + 3 is. Honestly, I don't know what it is, but I can calculate it trivially. In math, the end goal is exactly that. Storing functions which allow us to indirectly remember things. Think about a png of an image. The data is stored and compressed but it's not lossy: all the data is just rearranged. For JPEGS, some quality IS lost. Science is not logical since it uses abductions to create theories (this might seem stupid, but the gist is that you cant do science by staying in your room and just thinking and thinking: we need data). Which means that every piece of information is vital Math, instead, is logical, which means you can absolutely compress every single bit of information down to an ultimate core and unravel it in your mind. So when you study maths, I think about a core concept and think "well if thats true, then that must be true" and just go on and on. This is much easier to learn and remember for a couple of reasons: 1. Its just less info to learn 2. You create links, which are easier to remember. I dont think "divisions are not reversible" It just makes sense. This is very difficult to convey, so here is more practical advise: EXAMPLE : In Fourrier Series (you dont have to know what it is ), there are three functions to remember. 1. A general one 2. One for even functions 3. One for uneven functions. Remembering all three can be a lot of data, but remembering the general one is pretty easy. So I just remember the original one and remember how to transform it into the other two. CONCLUSION : In your case, If you remember how and why complex numbers are *DIFFERENT* than real numbers, you should be good. I find it far easier to remember any transformation than any base data. My final advise would be to write everything you learn in your own words, reading from that makes it much easier to learn. You don't even have to have a system or organization or anything. Just everything you learn in your own words. If it's even a little difficult to understand, please reply: english is my third language.
@@jac1011 Wasn’t expecting such a good response in a YT comment section. I understand what u mean and will try to implement it while learning. Btw your English is perfect.
@@jac1011 I heard in Justin Sung's webinar that calculation was part of procedural memory. I suppose that in that region of the brain logic can predominate 100% and that is why it can be retained as if it were underlying knowledge unlike other subjects such as biology or sociology. I have a question for you, what do you think of the 4 principles that George Polya proposes to solve a mathematical exercise?
Yesss
You can only do it if you are single and live alone
You have spent 2 years of wearing that t-shirt!

Block time McBlockface
so that's why he turned into a block
Is he productive or just rich?
Can someone summarize this for me, trying to be more productive. The benefit for you if you do is, explaining the info will help you retain it better. Best😊
Busy does not equal productive. Ask yourself, what is good, and what does it cost? Then change it into, how can i get the good while reducing the cost?. Take steps that get you closer to your goal while putting in the least amount of time and effort. Task management over time management
5 min time blocks for 1 year... telling time within 1min accuracy... yeah right! And I'm Elon Musk hahaha

Wait until you get married and have children. Try time blocking your kids or spouse
yes Prioretisation is the key and i took it to the extreme basiclly my education system works that way that grades don't matter when you're applying to university only final exam score so i am sitting in the last desk chunkmapping my final exam course material when i can sit undestracted and revising by genarating question when teacher is bothered when i don't pay attention one thing that really helped me with teachers not bothering me was i did whole lesson in front of whole class on the topic that we we were doing and because of my learning skills (lot of teaching as a revision method) and established relationship intuition i could make better and more intuitive lesson material than they did some called me arrogant some were quiet shocked and didn't bothered me and with some i made genuine relationship and now i have some people to talk to about more complex problems so yes Prioretisation and lavrage i think one of the most important concepts in business learning in life in general also your environment - from this example you can take that you are responsibile for your own environment i couldn't learn and express as efficiently and freely as i wanted because i went to really bad school however even school environment is changable you just need to be the one that changes it if you want to talk about studying or you are fan of dr andrew huberman or really anything ad me on discord bakunek#7716
