How I Studied 600 hrs + Watched 300 hrs of Anime in 4 Months (The ULTIMATE Study Technique) 😲 

watch how my parents only walk in during the anime breaks

RU-vid is more concerned about my studies than I am

plot twist: he's using the animedoro technique to make this video and is going to watch an anime right after

I've only been doing the bare minimum (working for only like 3 hours a day max) this whole semester and then came across your video and thought I would give it a try. I extended the breaks to 30 minutes so I'd have time to make food and tea/coffee as well and I was just mindblown! This method worked so well for me. I was able to get over 7 hours of work done every day and aced the assignments and tests I had to complete during that time. And I didn't even feel the need to procrastinate because I had those 30 minute breaks. And I had a good few hours to spare at the end of each day for relaxing and watching anime. It's the most productive I've been in ages. I highly recommend this method to anyone who struggles with procrastination. Thank you for making this video!

Bruhh I thought I was the only one who felt like 5 minutes wasn't rewarding at all, you couldn't even watch a whole youtube video.

I'm the type of guy that when I take studying seriously I would not stop for 3-4 hours and when I take a break I would not study again after that break

Pomodoro may get more work done in the short-term, but you may get burnt out from the intensity and unsatisfying rewards, ultimately leading up to large periods of neglect. I think, with the anime pomodoro, what matters is that it gives a satisfying reward. Though it may get less done in the short-term, by preventing a burnout in the long-term, it paradoxically gets more work done.

“The average anime episode would be 19-20 minutes without the opening or ending” Re Zero: *has 29 minute episodes with no endings or openings*

40-60 mnt : Study chemstry 20 mnt : watch dr.stone You already studying in 80mnt

"studies for 40 mins" *Aight! time to binge an entire season-*

I started following this "animedoro" thing a year ago (but for me, studying sessions of at least 60+ minutes work better). At first, I just wanted to keep up with the new shows, but still prepare myself for university entry exams. Moreover, I needed a fixed routine to help me find time to work on other tasks I wanted. Another thing I've been doing for years is watching anime during meals and cardio workout... It feels good to accomplish an important task while doing something you enjoy in the process. By the end of the day, you get like 5 more anime episodes watched just by not wasting the time you would normally spend eating and keeping fit. Although quite obvious, I want to mention that break intervals work for much more than anime. There were times I've chosen to play games instead and on some other days I felt like reading was a better use of my time. With all that being said, my strategy was as followed: Study for *at least* an hour (always pushing myself to complete the task I started); An anime episode; Repeat until meal time~ Eat; Work on something I want for half an hour (cardio/piano/Mandarin/Spanish/programming/stock market/etc.); Repeat from start~ I also created a couple reminders for myself (some were being followed way before the strategy above): Weekends and weekdays are basically the same; Practicing something everyday for 15 minutes is far better than doing it once a week for 2 hours straight; There is barely no excuse for not separating *at least* an hour per day to study; Life is like a very complex game with an infinite amount of variables. *Everything* you do impact directly on your performance as a player, so act accordingly. Following those things I listed above I was able to keep up with (+/-)15 animes every season, complete a bunch of other shows, read over 100 books and, most importantly, succeed in the entrance exam for Aerospace Engineering. Currently, I'm in my first period and I gotta admit that it has been hard to follow my previous routine. Some days I can't watch a single episode (besides during meals), let alone do other things I like. However, I'm not trying to scare anyone (like most uni students like to do, for whatever reason), because having no spare time is completely my fault. Since I want to make the most out of all the opportunities I get during my college years, I am studying much more than I am expected to. If you don't aim that high (and that's totally fine, each person have their own priorities) and just do the minimum, you will have plenty of free time and still graduate without much worries. In case anyone tells you otherwise, this person is lying, simple as that. University is not as hard as people portrait it... But it definitely *can* be, depending on your goals. There are many more things I learned along the way that help with my productivity, but I feel like I've already written too much. I hope this commentary can be useful to you... How I wish someone had thaught me those things when I was younger. edit: Due to the repercussion of this commentary and following some requests, I wrote my overall thoughts about my first period at college on a blog. I might write more in the future if I feel like I have anything important to share. lifeisacomplexgame.blogspot.com/

My suggestion - 2 hrs studying (especially you have to finish an assignment or past paper) - 40 mins rest (2 episode s) - 5 mins more for stretching your body(you already sit for 2hrs and 40 mins!!!) - start studying again! Use it when you are preparing for your exam or chasing deadlines😂

nobody: me: How I watched 300 hrs of anime in 4 months without studying at all

Pro tip: Don't accidentally set your break reminder in 40 hours and wonder how long can 40 minutes take

I do mangadoro. You could easily read a chapter in 5 minutes or less. In my 25 minutes break, I watch an entire anime episode

I did the 900 hrs of anime strat and passed all my classes. That's a win in my book.

"How to Finish One Piece and Pass Your Classes at the Same Time Explained"

This man is on a whole nother level

There is no bigger heartbreak then having to skip the Your lie in April intro

I study exactly like this! I figured the pomodoro time was too short for me (as an engineering student, having to stop a problem in the middle or rush through it to finish in time was hell), so I stretched to around 60/15, and I thought "might as well watch something" and put on anime because it matched the break time. I really like the sh*tty draft method, will 100% try this!!

*The Pomodoro:* • 25 min work • 5 min break *The Animedoro:* • 40-60 min work • 20 min break (anime episode ♥)

It is time to start my anime training/studying arc

Bruh just completed AoT S4 and aced my test with 243 out of 300 in my JEE mock test ( ik its a flex but I usually got 140-150 in those). Thanks to you I have been consistent for 4 weeks almost rather than preparing for the test 2 days before the date.

The perfect study strategy doesn't exis.....

Alternative title: Weeb teaches other weebs how to study more.

OMG! I used to do this in school and college, only, with books and not anime... I'd read 20 pages and get back to my work. I'd always pick a book that's not a thriller, or maybe something I have been wanting to re-read for some time( the harry potter series)... This used to work out great

I actually commenced this amazing technique last term; I managed to complete 100+ pages of a chemistry textbook and also improve in my other areas of study (then I when into quarantine and deter studying). I recommend this technique to anyone who has a terrible attitude towards timetables/ reserving time. I have major exams in June/ July and from today I'm continuing this technique(2x harder) and commencing Rurouni kenshin (1996-1998).

Someone give this man a reward for the best studying tactic in anime history. We are all evolved weebs now

My problem is my “study breaks” usually last the whole semester 😂 😂

this guy just made a post graduate level thesis on watching anime and balancing studies 😂 i wish we had him during my university days

I'M GONNA DO THIS WHILE I'M WATCHING ONE PIECE, LET'S GO!

I’m watching this while procrastinating on my work

When the nerd and geek lifestyle finally reach a middle ground, he is a man that can truly bring peace to this world

that was brilliant!!!!!!! I followed your advice for a month and managed to get a 92.2% in my tests while watching my favourite animes. Thank you so much

This actually helped me out, like you said the whole hour I studied I was looking forward to watching the episode but that didn't take my attention off my studies and my productivity level went up, thank you for this video, love it!! Life changer!!

-During 60 minutes of studying: no one is coming into my room. -during anime time: (mom) why is she silent. Let's go and see .

This might be the biggest flex yet, studying for a midterm while getting thru 8 seasons of One Piece

Really enjoyed your take on studying Josh. I'm trying to learn animation, and just couldn't figure out why the 25/5 method wasn't appealing to me. Thank you for thoughts on longer studying chunks

I needed this video. I’m starting up school again next semester and I was worried about not having enough time for my shows but this. I love this.

The 5 min pomodoro breaks are so unsatisfying it feels like it’s over the second I get comfortable on the couch.

There’s just some endings and openings you can’t skip, for example, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, and Demon Slayer. I refuse to ever skip.

Will definitly try this, thank you. Also, i appreciate the bloopers at the end because it is important to let the natural flow of the video recording dictate how long the video will be.

Before I came across your video I had SO MUCH problem with focusing and just play games whole day but after trying out your idea after my midterms I aced the whole term! I never thought this was possible thank you so much!

This is hilarious! Good job! I do this too actually.

did this last term and I didn't even realize it. ended up with a 4.0 sooooo he might be onto something here.

That's so true, I tried to do the animedoro before I have even seen your video and it was soo effective. Since I like short animes I was able to finish a bunch of them in one semester while keeping myself on track. But lately, I've been using Pomodoro and I do believe that this pooped up in my recommendation to only remind me of my effective old technique. Thank you, Josh.

Hi Josh, thank you for sharing your study technique. I've done something similar to this before but I loved how you laid it out as a structured system. Best of luck on your studies!

We must protect this man at all costs

to simplify he studies 5 hrs a day and watches 2.5 hours of anime

I’ve seen so many Productivity Guru videos about this topic. but you are the best buddy love this practical and simple use of Pomodoro alteration. I knew about Pomodoro technique since years but it was so hard to practice. But yours makes it so much easier I want to give it a shot from today thanks buddy!

I was recently thinking of doing something very similar to this and after watching your video - I've decided to follow through with it. Thank you, Josh! Best wishes to you and anyone who reads this!

quite funny how i get this recommended the minute i start doing bad at school due to watching so much anime

def gonna have to give animedoro a try this semester

Thank you for this fun technique! I tried this today and was surprised that it was psychologically more satisfying and motivating than the usual Podomoro! I now look forward to the entertaining breaks for my rewards 👍

Love it! I have a vicious cycle of binging and burn-out, so this should help. Btw love the bloopers at the end hha, you're very humble and authentic :D

i'm not in school but definitely going to use this for work and personal goals

Animedoro principles lol

Thanks Josh! My friend told me about your technique and I'm looking forward to trying it out!

dude be talking about how he enjoys alone time and only hangs out w/ friends once a week wow, that's extremely extroverted of you, I do that once every half a year lol

"I studied for 5 hours a day" Remind me to never major in chemistry

If I use the "animedoro" technique to watch Dorohedoro, would it be called a "Dorohedorodoro?"

I totally love your animedoro concept because I personally pomodoro kind of like a rushed up or hurried up. By the time I get to actually focus on what I'm studying and actually get into the momentum, the timer goes of and it's time for break which I don't really need. So I follow the 60-20 pomodoro. It works for me and I squeeze in stuff like stretching, small workouts, a nap, meal, RU-vid and Netflix. 7-9 cycles of this side a day doesn't feel tiring at all. So yay.

I must say this is really good and I was just taking a break from studies and youtube recommended this video to me and I think I will use it thank you very much Josh ^^

glad i wasn’t the only one who felt that a 5 min break was too short

This feels so validating lol, those 5 minute breaks never made sense to me

thank you for including the bloopers. great vid!

I did this before during my 2nd year in college and this was really helpful! It really motivated me and made my learning experience really fun. Thanks Josh for this creative idea of yours.

Animedoro is like on a whole different level of studying and watching anime

My main issue with studying is my ADD monke brain. I read for 5-10 minutes, get distracted, watch RU-vid for an hour and wonder what happened to the part where I was supposed to study.

Thanks for making a vid about this! I'm going to try this out. Also just a tip - make sure to leave some head room when you are talking directly to the camera. Keep it up!

Hey man thanks for the vid! I tried this out today, and made a lot of progress with my final project. Thank you for the first non zero day in a while!

I'd rather be a happy productivity demigod than a miserable productivity god.

okay I’m convinced that this guy can change the world by binging anime

I mean this in the most positive way-- congrats on reinventing the rough draft for gifted kid burnouts lol. It can be really hard for us to do rough drafts because we developed such perfectionism throughout grade and potentially middle school, when our rough draft was already basically enough to get us a perfect score. In later school, it's cojnterintuitive (to us) to turn in something imperfect, even when the whole point of the assignment is for it not to be perfect. The Shitty Draft TM is the solution: It shouldn't be rough, it's shitty!

ty for including bloopers in this, made you even more authentic if anything

I started using this method and I can finally say *DON’T FUCK WITH ME. I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME ON MY SIDE. AAAAAAAH*

Bro deadass is saving my semester before it even begins

Ok i need to try this to catch up on all the anime and shows I've been missing. Great video!

I Am in love with you really. Your ideas are so much appealing and satisfying to me. Waiting for the movement to try it out Animedoro.

Thank you for making this video :) hope this reaches out to others who needs this too

It's the same method I use, I like twisting things to my own goals and it is pretty effective. Thanks for uploading such a cool idea to the community, keep up the good content!

how are you not one of the big doctor youtubers yet ?? and damn i’ve been doing it the opposite this whole time, 4-5 hours of anime and 30 mins studying :/

The way he is naturally talking but then suddenly stops and stares to the script a few seconds before the video cuts just blow my sides off lmaoooooooooo

Woah, i didnt know there were other geniuses out there developing the same technique i discovered by myself in high school! Great strategy, great video!

this gave me soo much will to study thank you so much!! and omg the bloopers are so funny i love your contents

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels like sometimes 25 minutes is too short to actually concentrate. I do 40-50 min of studying and 10-20 min break, but I don’t watch anime lol I think I should start reading books in between

What convinces me even more is that this guy got into med school now congrats btw

Ever since I saw your video, I've been able to study much longer and with more focus as compared to before. I used to be lazy but thanks to you, I am able to reach my goals. Although for me, I go for 65 minutes studying plus 25 minutes Anime (OP and ED included), I find that your technique is a complete life saver. I can't describe how much in words am I grateful to have you in my life. You saved everyone, you are a legend, bro!

This is life-changing!!! Thank you for this ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I’ve wondered how on Earth ppl chill in 5 mins!! Like doesn’t the rly short time period stress you out bc all ur thinking of is how little time u have left? I mean, Ik most ppl can eat a granola bar in like 2 mins, but I wld v much like to enjoy it

For me, it is 1 minute of study then watch the entire naruto series.

love those running references. good luck!!

Thank you so much for making this video, for sharing this method of yours. Animedoro

My problem with anime is that it _lingers_ in my brain even after I'm done watching an episode. If I watch an anime episode, it says on in my mind for an entire day. Even when I study, my mind keeps thinking over the anime and I CANNOT CONCENTRATE.

in my school in russia we always had 45 min lecture followed by 15 min break. the workflow was incredible. when i transferred schools and started studying in europe, i noticed that there were NO BREAKS?????? like we could have 2 hour lecture and then only 10 min break and after another 2 hrs a big lunch break? which always seemed so confusing to me.. needless to say, i couldnt keep myself focused

Yo, i randomly stumbled upon this vid and im glad i did! I been needing motivation to get me work done, this is absolute genius thanks

Finally a study schedule I can follow. Thank you so much
