How To Motivate Yourself To Study Now

[clifbabymac4life]

I just thinking about what it would be like to be poor, and to live a disappointing life. When I realize that I dont want this for myself, I start studying.



[its2in0the1numbers1]

i listen to skrillex, i try to study whilst listening to it but i just start flying and i cant stay on my seat, so then i cant reach the paper with my pencil and i cant write anything and cant do any work

[flllipfog]

Or maybe, you'll start associating that music with studying...and start hating those songs.

[BoeingPilotable]

that, my friends, is the window to heaven....

[4trivedi]

lol this is oddly motivational. no joke. this got me studying

[Dayman881]

I started the music like you said. I am now headed to a club, with an exam tomorrow. That music reminded me so much of "good" times that I have completely lost the will to look at my material. WOOOOOOp

[ZHLodhi]

[bacijohn]

[DgoneOfficial]

@luduvugla lol, the new students in our school don't even get books, they get computers xD

[Haloc11]

Personally, music only works for certain subjects and not others.

[prasannamaps]

[SpaghettiCatalyst]

[VNessGoddess]

[Twixgtx]

i watched this twice just because i like the way you gave the advice, i think i'm gonna sleep well tonight.

[olivers64]

Is your technique primarily accomplished by means of hypnotism?

[neeti1991]

good music distracts me...

[TheAbadaniBoy]

whenever i wanna study on my computer i end up on facebook -_-

[CARUIZ20071]

Hey great method!

[faezlimpbizkit]

nice hair

[firstplanet]

I love this guy..

[colinwar]

I like this message, but im thinking about it, and the thought that pops in my head is, "what i really need is a slap in the face" but that wouldent be pleasant. damnit life sucks when you have a PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY test in 12 hrs and you dont know up from down.

[theblueandyellow89]

I know i'm not the only one who started nodding when he did

[purplefonch]

Your logic is right on bro. I got some Bob Marley thumping right now after bullshittin for 9 hours dreading this paper. Of course my writing will be great, but the reason I put it off is because I overanalyze the indoctrination in educational curriculums and the thought of even submitting my writing to them is disgusting! I am an older student so it's especially bad. That's why they say school is easy when you're young. It's because you have no idea how the real world works. Back to BOB MARLEY..

[legend2kill]

hes getting a blowjob during this vid

[greenpokerchip]

that's classical conditioning. ivan pavlov.

[james87stephen]

The only thing that motivated me to do was write this.

[2Boios]

WTF is this a tim&eric skit?

[manicloaded]

[mrwan1173]

[Ravenby420]

weeeeee hahahahahhahahaha boze :D hahahahahahahahahhaha umirem ...

[MrStrauwinsky]

Hi, I just wanted to thank VERY MUCH for all the effort you give just to help us with our studies. I really appreciate your videos, and I want to thank you for motivating me more! I'm only in grade eight, and I hope that I'll be a successful student in the near future. Watching your vids are motivational enough for me. Thanks again (for the umpteenth time)!

[jvalentin18]

I HATE STUDYING but i NEEEED to get my shit done . so thanks ! aha

[yellowscorpion100]

Thanks a lot man :)

[Riwa003]

good video :)

[EigenX7]

When I start the music, I won't study.

I'll go crazy with the music.

[ShadyForce4]

we would attach the music to the boredum of studying...

[3mr51]

thanks

[Dolphidood]

I love maths but I love it even better with fast music! BOOGIE WONDERLAND! lmfao

[andie12serador]

Good Idea but whenever i got the good feeling from the music im listening to, I JUST CANT STOP THINKING or MOTIVATING MYSELF TO DANCE, not to STUDY. XD

[KhalidAlajaji92]

i feel good when I smoke weed, would it work too?

[Ihope1993]

Your study techniques are spot on man! Great point about associating study with a good feeling and not a negative feeling. Its classical conditioning

[05soltom]

doesnt that good music remind you of where you heard it.... most likely not when you were studying. wont it remind you of the club and make you feel the need to go out? make you wish you were dancing not studying?

not criticizing you but seriously....

[7T7T7T7T7T7T7T7T7]

That's a good idea.

For anyone interested in reading further into this idea of association it's called Anchoring in NLP(Neuro-linguistic programming) jargon. I haven't seen it used like this before so I'm impressed.

[dat913]

great tip!

[Ledarifique]

Finally a practical approach to motivation. I totally agree and thankyou

[McGix]

This is a really good idea but the problem is that when I start listening to the music i love i can't stop so i never really start to study but instead i dance or sing or i dunno, jump :D everything but study. :D

[bebe2ful]

i totally love how he was smiling through the whole video lmao.....

[StudentFortune]

So true, studies also prove that music helps the brain to focus! Google it.

[Sunnysuzuki]

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKK­KKKKKKKKK! :D I can't play my sort of music while studying. I'd remember the party going on somewhere, drop everything and go party!!! ;)

[cman88]

Hey great method! I was just wondering one thing...If you are listening to music while doing homework, would it make a difference if it is a song with no words? Like would it be different if I listened to a rap song with lyrics or a techno song with none? Thanks.

[faststudyskills]

@cman88 Great question. Our ancestors used music to inspire them (comes from the word "muse"). Though music generally didn't depend on words (think Beethoven or tribal pipes & drums). Words & numbers are left brain processed (logic) while music is right brain (emotion). I suggest if you're gonna keep listening to music while studying (instead of just using it to get you started) stick with songs without lyrics because you need your left brain free to take in all that info (not rapping w Jay-Z)

[cman88]

@faststudyskills Thanks so much for your help :)

[Bodysmoker]

@faststudyskills You know that the whole left and right brain theories is pretty much disprove? Music could help with studying because the individual will be able the ignore his surroundings a little more. This is a method primarily used by ADHD patients Its a method that doesn't work the same on everyone.I do think you have made a good point and therefore a good video. I'm going to subscribe and watch some more of your video's. Keep up the good work!

[PeaceUdo]

This is a good idea. I used to do that but then I would look for more music. Its a good idea to play the music then play more during your break. Thank you I will try this :)

[snmcdonald]

Great point! Music is a major emotive force. However, if I use music for work or studying eventually I start to resent those same songs.

[PeaceUdo]

@snmcdonald Don't you change the song? Also don't put it on repeat.

[eliot468]

im procrastinating right now by commenting on this and watching this video when is should be doing my homework

[theBestievahad]

are u hiiiii

[ashthegreat]

Or you play that music and get so distracted about the club that you cant even understand or think about what you're studying.

Best way to study is to kick your own damn arrogant stubborn ass. Only that works in reality.

There are many ways: Love to learn, but also put a lot of your life's effort into it. Literally your life's effort when I say it. This requires as much effort and mental strain as a professional fighter would pose on himself physical strain in training for a huge fight. Do it.

[queenofweaves916]

great video! Sometimes I will play light classical for my children. It's calming and makes them focus.

[chunkyxsushi]

I wish I could listen to music while working... But I find it incredibly distracting.

[Blad771]

Ninja like student haha

[Mrmoc7]

Well I've thought of it before, but I just never did it.

[iiHateSouljaBoy]

Ive never thought of it like that before lol. Thanx man

[bigfatdick5000]

i like his style of talking and i ain't gay.

[50kT]

is your brother will ferrell? get it ahaha

cuz u guys were like night of the roxbury

[not4resale]

Yeh I have been playing my party music for years when I sit down to study. Problem is I usually end up texting my friends and going out clubbing by that evening so I don't get that much study done :P

[Octiferrous]

Dynamite - Taio Cruz.

I have been listening to this song for over a week now, even though its school time and i really need to concentrate, i still cant keep my vacation clubbing in Mexico out of my head...

[loveizstrong]

@Octiferrous i love that song too... first heard it in Canada and played it the entired 6 hours for flying back home...!!!

[alimuha]

nice job!

[hybmu]

Yeah you are right man. This is a trick that I have been using long time ago.

[Godlystriker]

i never have good experience, therefore I don't have anything to relate to :(

[WoohooILoveDolphins]

Haha great advice ! Doesnt really work for me sometimes though- cause when the music comes on I just wanna daaaance not do study lol . But yeah its good to get geared upp- the good feelings rush etc.

[elpapisimo]

That guy is mad cool.

[BKByon]

Isn't this multi-tasking what Mr.A told us not to do?

[faststudyskills]

@BKByon Thanks for pointing this out BKByon. Once you get your momentum going, I do suggest turning the music off. It's just to get yourself pumped up especially if you're not in the mood :-)

Once you get yourself going, it's easier to keep going until you finish or are distracted. Your song play list can easily become a distraction. Single-tasking keeps this from happening (you finish much faster and get more out of studying).

[deartellman]

bring the Party wherever you go! "We attach things together even though they are not related".... a stong tool to work with. Thanks for the video. I feel like there is a lot more to think about with this concept... Applies to business and life too. :)

[sooooooooosexyphilly]

Yeah, well, that doesn't quite work for me cause then I become more focused on the music andthen I wouldn't remember what I was studying. : (

[CoolnSerious]

I like the way he speaks about it -its calm funny and gives you power to think over it- so play THAT MUSIC!!!!!!! :))))))

[MonSwon]

Hey cheers mate, that makes a lot of sense, I might check out the site too if I get round to it, motivational skills not being one of my strengths and all.

[Fighter2231]

OMG thank u SOOOO MUCH

[Incain10]

just listen to happy hardcore and your set

[nadanada123]

[riveraesteban10]

ive never thought of that before dude!!!

but it works... thank you soo much

[Lanceypoo8D]

pavalov's dog. same thing.

[uniquelegance]

@Lanceypoo8D ...that's exactly what i was thinking about, lol!

[Lanceypoo8D]

[youbodom]
