My name is Jaël and I am a 23-year-old educational sciences student from the Netherlands. Drawing from my knowledge as an educational scientist to-be, I create videos on study tips, planning, organization, mental health, and occasionally the meaning of life. So that we might all live life, love what we do, and never stop learning ❤️
Hi Jaël! I really like your setup! I have tried different ways to organize tasks and to connect GC with Todoist. Looks like your solution is the best for me. Thanks a lot ❤
I'm so stressed and feel like it's impossible to do mine. It's a weird feeling I feel empty and lost, yet I know this is the last work I have to get done to finish uni and get my degree. This still isn't enough of a thought to push me at this last stage. I've done 4,000 out of 9,000 and I have 5 1/2 days to finish and submit which is terrifying. Thanks for the video and words of support! You've given me some optimism I've been missing this last month.
You can do it! Although I am very terrified as well, the thought of not having to submit a perfect thesis calms me down. And in the end, it's 'just' a thesis.
I am in the process of correcting my thesis and it has been difficult for me to get started. I know that I am capable of doing everything, it just has been a longer process than I thought and that is why I have become frustrated. But I'm totally capable of finishing this. Thanks for your video
Sounds like Complex PTSD might be a useful term to include here. Possibly a way to differentiate from PTSD without having to call it "little-t trauma."
Je hebt mooie naam en mooie karakter! Als je interesse hebt om te know wat betekent Jaël. Het komt uit Syrians taal. J+ëal J uit Jamal en betekent Schoonheid. ëal betekent de creëer en Naam van God. Jaël = Schoonheid van God Een van de Engelen naam. 💚💚💚
Watched this video in my final year of master's and I'm back here after successfully defending my dissertation. Thank you for this video and the encouragement. It did help me alot
I have a month to go and spent the last however long completely paralyzed with a worry that stopped me from doing ANYTHING (i gotta get that adhd diagnosis). But this video helped immensely so THANK U 💞💞
Thanks for this video! Been feeling so scared in writing my dissertation and a big part of this is because I'm coming to the end and am emotional about it.
my thesis due is in 11 days. I barely did the introduction part and I have no motivation to do this. I always wait for a perfect time to get my thesis done which never happens. Start now and I really advise u all to wake up early in the morning to write your thesis. I don't know how I am going to get this done. But I would definitely do this well.
Thank you for sharing, great video! I’m also a gifted woman from The Netherlands and I only found out at age 25 that I am gifted. It explained so much for me, but I’m still discovering how it has impacted me. I was never given the support I needed and have some pretty bad anxiety because of this. Back in the 90s there just wasn’t much knowledge about these things. I recognize all of the things you mention, like the constant need to prove myself and the extreme perfectionism. For me it’s also the feeling of “i’m not good enough”. I’m now in therapy again and my therapist suggested EMDR. I started looking into it and found your video, which gives me a lot of hope. So thank you 🙏🏼 will also be looking into the tiktok content you mentioned ☺️
My friend was 6 days from the deadline and she hadn't even written the literature review. It'd be an understatement to say she was stressed. Long story short she called me and asked me for a favor. 2 days to the deadline, everything was done and she got a distinction. Check my bio if you're in the same situation.
its 3 days before deadline, and literally i am so close all i need to write is the conclusion, references and abstract THATS IT. But I can't stop thinking about its imperfection and what if I started earlier I could have made it perfect blahblah. Thank for telling me that it doesnt need to be perfect 😭
My thesis was due on Monday. I got an extension for Friday. It's still not done nor have I even handed in a draft. I'm a biomedical science student. This is the worst my procrastination has ever been. Mainly due to being done so over this uni and also because of perfectionism. Everyone else have sent and receinved corrected drafts, finished their thesis and submitted it except for me. I hope I graduate lol 💀 Thesis is worth 70% of 4th year. 3rd year was 30%. Grades were an average of 60% which is alright. It's this thesis I'm worried about. I've emailed my module coordinator that I've been sick and couldn't finish my thesis and provided a medical certificate. Hopefully I get an extension. I really don't want to repeat this year. Wish me luck/ pray for me, I'll do the same for anyone else who can relate 😂 I feel a lot better after this video. Knowing it doesn't need to be perfect motivates me to get it done and submitted 😊
My thesis deadline is in 3 weeks and I'm only at the beginning of my thesis because of my mental health. But I have managed to do everything else up til now so I know I can do this too. Thank you for this video.
@stonejo unfortunately I couldn't meet the deadline because of some other things suddenly happening in my life, but I managed to write like 75% of the thesis and my supervisor was very understanding. This video was still very helpful!
I was watching this video a month before, when struggling to write my thesis. Today results announced and I passed! If I can do it, you can do it too 😊🎉
I am currently doing an undergraduate degree in psychology, and I think that it may be important for me to retain the course content in the long-term, especially for some courses (e.g., Research Methods). After the courses conclude, should I continue to do spaced retrieval on the content that I learned? If so, what intervals would you recommend? Currently, I do 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month (repeatedly, until the course ends). Maybe 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 7 months, etc.? I fear that I will eventually get overloaded with retrieval practice and eventually forget it anyhow - if I do not use it in my profession. Much appreciated, Cole
I moved to Germany to do a masters. The system is different but nevertheless it's the European credit transfer system (ECTS). I have 240 ECTS out of 4 years bachelors and in Germany is 3 years bachelors 180 ECTS. So I have to study 2 years instead of 1. I have found myself in this really unfortunate situation where I'm studying things that I already studied, irrelevant things and the stress is unnecessarily high. It took a lot from me and I'm not so sure what I'm even getting...
