6 terrible study habits to quit, like, yesterday 

"Do not multitask " Me: watching her video and reading comments at the same time.

I guess my worst study habit is not even starting 😅

“Multitasking is bad” Me: *plucking my eyebrows, listening to a bio lecture and watching this RU-vid video* “Wat”

When your weak point is the whole subject 💀

Imagine being sponsored by your high school nemesis.

imagine getting your money back from college board AFTER taking the tests

-Don't multitask -Don't study on your bed -Study in silence Me: *Doing my homework on bed while watching this video while my cousins are screaming outside* 👁️👄👁️...

The thing is I'm a pretty anxious person, especially when I'm alone. I literally can't study without some music. I actually perfer some videos or the TV on the background to make me feel like I have company. Kinda weird but if it's silent I get super anxious and tend to quit or panic.

I love how jasmine is attacking my bad habits so nicely and calmly

Jasmine: “multitasking is not effective” Me, doing my writing assignment while watching this video: “... ah.”

jasmine: "focus on one thing at a time" my raging ADHD: *manic evil laughter*

"Multitasking is bad” Me: watching a k-drama, reading subtitles, writing notes and eating at the same time

jasmine: dont play background music me: _panik_ jasmine: but u can play music w/o words, or ambience me: _kalm_

RU-vid recommendations getting really personal huh

the last tip is so important! teachers, lecturers, they're your most valuable resource while you're a student, ask as many questions as you need, send emails, arrange meetings! it may seem intimidating at first but you are supposed to have questions, that's the whole point of learning

a terrible study habit: actually watching youtube videos while I'm pretending to study, or even worse while I'm supposed to be in class. Yes, I'm actually in online class right now

Jasmine: Study in silence My siblings: *screaming* Mom: *calling me to the kitchen every minute* Dad: *Watching TV on max volume* Me:😑😑

Not the thumbnail having "Stop it,get some help"😭

9:29 I've got my little thing to say about this! I personally study in my bed, mostly because 1: i use my tablet that has got some features to take notes, highlight and open documents and ect... I just noticed that im more productive on a screen, and i can use my tablet in my bed easily. I know that i might get distracted from staying on the same screen that I use to play around with, but i learnt how to switch mindsets! I bought this device for school, so whenever i start a task i keep going until i reached my goal for my study session, and if i can't focus now, then i just stop and do something relaxing then take my documents/files back easily!( I remember the purpose of me buying my device too. )Its easier because i don't have to search through papers and lose extra energy in that, i just have to type the keywords 2: I passively learn everyday on my tablet and social medias so make sure that everything i learn in my free time while in bed has the same goal as studying for uni: which is making me smarter, so i don't link being in my bed =/= being unproductive 3: As someone who has got some anxiety and depression , i just settled with the idea that i don't have to be somewhere else than in bed to start a task. I prefer staying in my comfort zone to minimize stress and exhaust myself less as well, because my mind is comfortable when im there and i feel safe, everything spot that isn't my bed somehow feels unfamiliar and creates some pressure linked with the mindset of "if im on my desk, ive got to be 100% serious" which is personally just stressing me out

1:33 forgetting to set goals & plans 2:41 sponsor 4:07 multitasking 5:53 passive study methods 7:22 only doing whats easy 9:20 studying in bed 11:31 refusing to get help 14:33 outro :)

me: i agree with all of these, this is good advice jasmine: don’t study in your bed me: no

Why do I love studying and all its aesthetic and studytube BUT once i sit to study i can't cause my brain prefers to procrastinate :(

POV: You are watching this when you're supposed to be studying...

“multitasking is not that effective” me : watch a whole season of an anime while i’m studying 👁👄👁

1- have clear goals, don't just simply study with no end goal. 2- Don't try to focus on two things at one, and try to avoid background noise. 3- Use active study methods. Don't just highlight or rewrite notes, that's passive. 4- Try harder question, don't just do what's easy and what you already know you know. Identify your weak points and then Focus on patching them up. 5- Make a space JUST for studying. don't study in your bed! Make a desk for studying so your brain can immediately associate studying with certain locations and this will help you motivate yourself. Make it COMFORTABLE and COZY. 6- get help! Work on your difficulties and look for resources by yourself, but if you really need outside help, don't hesistate to ask. Ask a REAL person, not from the internet.

"stop it get some help" she really CAME for me

That’s so true. When I listen to music during my studies, I often stuck in one question. And only after a while I realise that music is distracting me, so then I take off my earphones and do a task in a minute.

The best thing about end goals is that it tells you when to stop, so you'd be motivated to begin and give you peace of mind when you're under great pressure (for an exam let's say). Found this out during my Chinese high school entrance exam, otherwise it's just endless panic.

Me, a European: ah yes, AP Collegeboard, totally know what that is, yep

we love a dedicated queen who is willing to look like she's talking to herself to produce amazing content for us ❤

"Multitasking is not effective" Me who learns better when multitasking: 👽

Saw this now and I feel called out, but the sad thing is I have been seeking help, but well there's no one who could help me personally right now. It stresses me more that I know so little of our subject and I do want help but no one is there. Even told my father that I'm struggling in a certain subject but says nothing

I was gonna say “jasmine you didn’t need to call me out like this smh 💀” but..like.. you really *did* need to call me out 😔🧍🏻‍♀️

Jasmine: multitasking is not effective Me while listening to a podcast, doing homework and trying to perfect my Cypher rap: oops?

i love the way she speaks, its just so... soothing and calms down my anxiety

Classical music is great for studying and has been proven to help! There’s also tons of playlists without lyrics to help you study

Studying method that has been helpful for me: 1. take notes that contain relevant information. Don't fill your notes to the brim with every word, but instead focus on what the instructor is saying and what they are emphasizing. This is more than likely going to be what's on the test. 2. Organize your notes into distinct topics with headers that summarize the topic. For example, if there's a section about Romantic symbolism in Romeo and Juliet, then the header may be "Romantic Symbolism in Romeo and Juliet". 3. use those distinct headers as prompts, and pretend you're teaching someone else. Cover the info that is written below the headers, and practice using that brief header to explain the topic in depth. Jump around to different topics, make sure you can do it succinctly, and eventually, you'll be able to recall the important info from step 1 just by looking at a few key words. You'll associate those key words with the important info. This is a great way to turn note-reading into an active method, instead of just passively reading.

the power you have is immaculate... SPONSORED BY THE COLLEGE BOARD?!

i just discovered your channel during an academic anxiety crisis™ and i have to say i'm loving how you structure your videos! besides the content, this organization is an inspiration in itself

I love seeing how much your channel has grown! I binge watch these in the background while studying

"how am i famous enough to do this?" 🤣

"Avoid background noises" Me *religously listening to her Spotify Study playlist* uuhhh

i just watched the entire video and i am so happy, a few months ago i was really struggling with stress and bad studying habits and i just realized i stopped doing them all and im not stressed anymore !

You are so well spoken and humble and you are totally going places, friend! Thank you for this!

I got scared when she said not to listen to music cuz it really helps me focus but then she said it could be without lyrics. Lofi is amazingly soothing

The fact that Jasmine took the time to change locations for each habit and made the video so aesthetically nice shows the dedication she puts on her videos

Thank you for these tips. I think it kinda give me new impact towards my study style.

Thank you for this video! I was an awesome studier until my sophomore year in HS when I started watching RU-vid regularly. Now I find myself stuck with several very bad study habits as a senior and I am determined to get rid of them, which you are definitely helping me do.

The best thing that always helps me is trying to pretend to teach it to someone. When I'm at home I teach my dog and literally a day before the test I teach some of my classmates (while the teacher listens in so they can correct me if I'm wrong)

Me going throught the question paper: "hey I've seen that before, maybe I know that" Me when I try to write it's answer: *confused noises*

this is such a well-summerised video. they way you addressed the issues sort of led me to a comforting state in the end and motivated me to work on some weak aspects with regards to my study pattern. thank you.

Dude I love the time stamps, also thanks a lot for your advice I’ve improved a lot :D

Im in high school and procrastinating is killing me and my family keeps arguing so I can't focus 😌😌😌😌

me: clicking on this video instead of studying for three tests also me: my terrible study habits? There are none

I love how you film this outside, with uni vibes! 💓☁️ I never thought I'll miss the ambiance of school so bad, cuz I'm at my room 24/7 for classes now :(

Study groups helped me so much. I just finished my first year of university, and having people that help me focus helps immensely.

"stop refusing to get help" wow you really gonna come for my neck like that

I highly suggest watching the video for more information, but here’s the main points and timestamps if you’re short on time (hopefully because you want to study!) *1:33** - Forgetting to set goals and plans for studying.* Goals are important so that you can be more efficient while organizing your information and studying. ~2:13 - Instead, determine your and create a plan to reach the goal. *4:07** - Multitasking during study time.* Physiologically, your brain can’t multitask. So it takes more time to do the activities at the same time, rather than completing them individually. ~5:24 - Instead, focus on one task at a time. ~5:40 - Try studying without background noise, or with music that does not contain lyrics, such as ambient noise. *5:53** - Passive study methods.* These include rereading notes or your textbook. It’s more important to be able to recall information instead of just recognizing it in your notes. ~6:49 - Instead, use active studying methods, such as flashcards and practice tests. *7:21** - Only doing what’s easy.* Challenging yourself helps you learn! ~8:45 - Identify your weak points and address them. A good way to identify weak points is by doing a practice test. *9:20** - Studying in bed.* Our brains normally consider our beds a place to relax or sleep. ~10:41 - Pick a spot and make it your designated spot to study. Try making it cozy and happy so you’re encouraged to study! *11:49** - Always refusing help from others or neglect asking for help.* You can interact with people, which is much better than looking for answers online. ~12:35 - Overcome mental roadblocks like pride. Everyone needs help sometimes! People have different knowledge, so you can share your knowledge with each other. Keep in mind, some of these might work for you, and that’s okay. They are general guidelines to help you determine your studying issues. Have a nice time studying, everyone!

Your skin is sooooo clear!! Btw great tips, looking forward to implementing them!

I love how you change your location each time you change your point💕💕

omg i am soooo guilty of only doing the easy questions, especially when doing review stations in math class! i didn't even really realize that i did that until now, so thank you!

I really agree your last point Jasmine! I used to be shyyy and literally just ignore those topic that I just... can't do but here I am telling you guys to ASK! JUST ASK for real no one cares and some teachers are really surprisingly nice! (My teacher recorded a video specially for me about solving a past year paper and I'm quite shock about the effort my teacher put in!) It may be hard asking for the first time but it'll get better! And add some joy to your studying as well~ Good luck everyone

“Study where you will take the exam” Third mistake: don’t study in bed Me in 2020 with online classes: I study in bed 😭

Thanks! I love your explanation and how calm your voice is👍

tbh I find those “Lofi beats to study and relax to” livestream videos useful while studying / doing school work because my house is never quiet lol

Great video! I have ASD (potentially ADHD also) and I need to listen to music without words, it gives myself something to 'focus' on and stops myself from becoming distracted because I'm 'focused' on the music while studying.

Jasmine, your videos are so amazingly helpful! I'm a college freshman too struggling through this pandemic. I just wanted to say thank you for all your amazing tips! You're awesome!

I can't emphasize how many times I have to tell my friends that reaching out to professors doesn't lessen their value as a student, it was the most challenging yet rewarding thing I've learned since starting college! I will say, it does require a level of understanding of where you got lost in the material and trying to convey that in words can be REALLY difficult

"A real person, not Hank Green" Hank Green: :'/

"Do not study in your bed and multitask". Me: doing both right now.

These tips were so helpful, thank u so much studyquill!

Music with lyrics actually helps me ground myself to the work more because I tend to zone out a lot while trying to focus because I'm thinking about the topic and then it just branches out to something else and then 5 minutes later I'm thinking about the super Mario overworld theme sounding like green green.

me staring at the AP exam - it's stalking me

she's really rocking the thumbnail with her gorg hair!!!

oh really thank you for this video. It helped me tons and I will start cleaning my writing desk right now. I took notes of everything you said and now I'll have it in my room around to not forget. Thank you

Great video. I generally agree with all of the points, exept for the "rewriting your notes" part because it's honeslty one of my favourite ways to study and has been working out amazingly for me for the past years of both high school and university. Diferent things work for different people I guedd

me: procrastinating on youtube jasmine: S T O P I T ! G E T S O M E H E L P !

that moment when you realize ur multitasking watching this video and doing ur homework..

I love how casual this video was! With u just in the garden 😅 Brilliant

this was really helpful, thank you💜

Terrible study habits to avoid *1. Forgetting to set up goals* If you don't set up goals, you don't know what to study so you just wander around *2. Multitasking* Always focus on one thing. Including listening to music, it can distract you. Avoid sounds that can distract you, like TV sounds. *3. Passive study methods (re-reading)* Use active studying techniques, such as: - Flashcards - Practice tests - Teaching a friend *4. Only doing what's easy* Identify and address your weak points and focus on that topic. How to know your weak points: Take a full practice exam of that material (available online, taking tests from old midterms) and take a close look of what you tend to get wrong (certain topic or type of question) *5. Studying in bed* Studies have shown that if you learn the information and study in the same place as you are going to take the test (such as in the same classroom, same desk, etc.), you'll do better on that test. And of course, studying in bed can make you feel sleepy, or you even might fall asleep. Instead, create a comfy and productive workspace. Stay far from distractions (such as phones, TVs, etc.), and stay close to your studying essentials (notebook, textbooks, stationeries, etc.) *6. Refusing to get help* Start off by working through your difficulties individually and look for resources by yourself that way you don't get overly dependent on anybody else. But at a certain time, it might be time to acknowledge that you need outside help from a real person, not just Google and others. Teachers, tutors, or study groups have actual knowledge that they can help share with you, and you can actually interact with them, unlike the internet. So don't be afraid to ask help, because everyone needs help. Asking for help doesn't mean that you don't know enough or smart enough. People might sometimes be shy, but just remember, people generally want to help you, especially teachers and tutors because they are generally very nice and helpful people and they are made to help people with problems they can't solve themselves.

to the multitasking: there’s also research that some people (especially more extroverted ones) need more stimuli to work at their best, so to some degree background noise does help some people :)

you're like so calm, i love it

I hope this will make me improve my studying progress ! Thanks for the tips by the way :D

I just got back on my computer and saw this posted 1 minute ago; what timing

Person: You'll study better and get better grades if you study at a desk and not on your bed. My scoliosis: is this a ✨ challenge ✨

your voice is so comforting 🥺

This video is well made, clear, and to the point. Nice.

You’re such an inspiration, Jasmine! 🌟 I’m in grad school, currently working on my year long thesis, so I spend all my time in the lab. I feel like I have no free time at the moment, but when I have a few minutes to spare, I enjoy watching your videos 🥰

Not yt telling me there's 2 views, 11 likes, and 6 comments.

Tysm. This is actually really helpful!!

You’re so pretty 🤩 this video was extremely helpful you’re a lifesaver!!

Other than finding out that classes are canceled, this was a great thing to wake up to🌞💛

your filming and editing skills have improved so much over the year! This video was not only informative but also so calming to watch

i love how u included "what to do instead of the bad habits" in addition to what bad habits to quit

Thank you! It's really nice to actually hear these things. I never realised I was sabotaging myself I always study in bed, I can stay up for long time and when I fall asleep I take it as a signal from my body. Actually I feel more awake when I study on my desk… I don't fall asleep so I actually feel like a mummy in the morning.

Omg SO happy to see you call out re-writing notes! I feel like the visual studygram content out there is 98% aesthetic rewritten notes, and I tried it, like 3 years ago, but it was completely useless to me.

I can just imagine walking by and seeing someone you watch on RU-vid. and are to scared to talk to them. I refuse to believe that there was at least one person like that Also lots of love from Australia ❤️❤️❤️ you are so helpful.

I loved this video, thank you for sharing your best techniques with us! To be honest, even though highlighting notes and re-reading them might not be as effective as e. g. learning on Quizlet with flashcards and multi-choice questions, I found this method pretty much the easiest and probably the least time-consuming. I always learn with highlighters while re-reading, and then my A marks come naturally. For me, the worst study method that I follow sometimes is re-writing and copying my notes. Whenever I need some revision from an old notebook, I tend to copy and make the new notes aesthetic. But it's a complete waste of time.

Thank you so much, I began watching your videos from a couple of days ago and you are very helpful. I am wracking study video tips to get ready in the holiday for school. It is going to be my first year in middle school (but in the same school). I really wanna be a better version of myself so really thank you so much.
