Trying different enviroments is something that helps me a lot now in college. Working in a space where I can visibly see other people working like in a library or even with a few friends boosts my productivity a lot especially in college. obviously, you need to learn how to work by yourself as those things aren't always available but I trained myself to eventually lock in and concentrate by myself.

Absolutely love your videos!!! I’m so happy that I found your channel. I can’t stop watching your content. Thank you so much for sharing all of your amazing and valuable tips!!! I have been feeling inspired and motivated again which I haven’t felt in a while now. I have been struggling with productivity over the past few years. I used to be able to find time and energy for everything (studying, working, developing my RU-vid channel, working out, volunteering, cleaning, cooking, etc). I thought that I will finally have free time after getting my doctorate to seriously focus on growing my channel. I used to love making RU-vid videos. It would bring me so much joy to film and edit them and to interact with my viewers. I miss feeling like that but have been struggling to get myself back into that productive mode despite the fact that I have more free time than I can ever remember. Thank you for not only motivating and inspiring me but for helping me restore hope and belief in myself🙏☺️🤗🥰

in brief: This video discusses how to improve focus and productivity by optimizing your workspace, based on tips from the Japanese book "The Reason Why You Can't Focus is Your Room." The main points include: 1. Analyze your current workspace by taking a picture of your desk to objectively evaluate it. 2. Remove unnecessary items from your desk to create a clutter-free environment. 3. Avoid having multiple tasks and objects in your line of sight to minimize distractions. 4. Change your working environment to stimulate creativity and maintain focus. 5. Tidy your desk for 5 minutes at the end of each day to keep it organized. 6. Change your desk position to receive natural light, which improves mood and energy levels. 7. Use quality productivity tools, such as the Asus ZenScreen MB249C monitor, iQunix F96 keyboard, and GrowMate notepads. The video highlights the importance of creating a clean, organized workspace that promotes efficiency, concentration, and overall well-being. By following these tips, viewers can experience significant improvements in focus and productivity.

With the advent of social networks, I noticed that I was constantly distracted by unimportant things: messages, notifications It's important to learn to stay focused, it's not about productivity, it's about mental health

You deserve this ate Rai!! You look so light and glowing💗💗💗

Excellent... You've obviously put in some due diligence here. Very well done! I am definitely convinced... I will be making some changes! Thanks for sharing this, James

For me I just have to have background music in my room and I get motivated really fast :D

Perfectionism and not being able to move through the work was the reason for me. You can't concentrate when there is no clear "why" to aim at. It is important to have strategic and operational level clarity. Your perception of the process may change, but you still need to start from some framework Procrastination and lack of concentration are one of the major obstacles that I have in my life for as long as I remember myself and recently it feels like awareness and maturity which I gained with time are helping me adress the causes of these problems and start solving them Thank you for sharing your tips, I as well noticed that it is important to have clear framework, both physical and mental It is a pleasure to listen to you 🙏🏻

Although I’ve heard of all of what you mentioned in this video,your putting them in order helped me a lot! Thank you all the time!

THANKS FOR THIS. I'M ALMOST 63 YRS OLD, LIVE IN NYC MY WHOLE LIFE, AND HAVE BEEN A MUSICIAN FOR MOST OF IT TOO. COVID CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR ME. NOW, LEARNING A NEW INSTRUMENT: GUITAR AND GET BACK TO WORK ON STAGE, THIS IS VERY HELPFUL. FIXING WORK ENVIRONMENT AND PRACTICE AREA. GREAT TIPS.

One extra tip: take short breaks between tasks or just to refresh your mental energy. For example, 5-10 min break for 45-60 min of work of concentration. In this case "taking a break" means: leave your mobile device at the desk, take a short walk away from it and just do anything else for a while - get a drink, go to another room to do something else or just go outside to get fresh air for a few minutes.

It is the first time Im watching a video from you but I find your voice and the accent somehow nice and your advises are actually good!

Happy to see how far you have come and thanks for the helpful video.

I have been watching you growing from around 100k subscribers and now you are almost 1 million subscribers. Congratulations my dear sister🎉🎉🎉. Back then I also noticed that your content are really unique when compared with others. To all those people out there let’s help her to achieve one millions subscribers as soon as possible. She really deserved much more than this. We must support a moral person like this who is devoting her time to create content like this which help a lot for all of us. Keep it up🥳🥳🥳

I've been doing this for a while, and it really helps, especially taking away sources of distraction from my side, thanks for your content, it really helps 😁

Thank you for existing and helping people ❤

Excellent advice! I surprisingly found that using an adjustable work desk (allowing me to stand or sit)really helped me focus.

Thank you so much for this Ruri, lately I've been feeling so frustrated because I can't just seem to get any task done, I work from home in a small room that's so so packed with things beyond my control, I have no desk, I stay on my bed everyday trying to work, now I know where the problem is coming from and I will make amends.

Focusing can be crucial part to get a successful outcome of a workload. Thanks for the tips and logistics you shared for a intent concentration.

Thanks Ruri, i did this last night. Its a better working environment. Appreciate it

I just wanted to comment and say thank you. If your channel/videos hadn't reached me when they did, I probably wouldn't have made the same amount of progress in the time that I did recently. This is a personal thank you, as your style of videos and the way you provide information specifically is what kept me engaged in your content, helping me learn a lot in the grand scheme of things. From one person shaping their image and brand to the next, Thank you.

Love it how you decide the title of your videos based on our feedback 😊

I completely support the 5 minutes tidy up. Sometimes I am so saturated and already burned out when working at home that just removing dished, cups or thing I am not using helps me clean my mind and reduce my burn out.

I literally cleared my drastically and all of a sudden bumped into your video now! What a coincidence. Great tip, thx.

Your video broadened my horizons. I found these tips very interesting and kinda new to me. I'm extremely excited to try them immediately and see how they will work. Thank u so much😍

I'm not one to comment on videos, but yours sure as hell deserves praise. From the scientific studies backing up the arguments to the camera work, video editing, audio quality, labeling of each part of the video along with its duration, and the overall aesthetic, everything is just awesome tnx

Just thought you'd like to hear it directly: you're one of my go-to self care/mental health youtubers, and I really appreciate it, so thanks, I'm going through a lot, and while I procrastinate a lot, the information you provide will be put to use when I get one of those moments where feel the urge to take action.

This is so helpful Ruri. Thanks a lot I really need to clean my desk.

Hi Ruri! 🙂 1. Gratitude - your videos get me maintaining and increasing motivation, thanks you for it! 2. Tip - pronunciations of the word "ALLOW", btw your speech is very nice and comfy and easy to listen to and there's almost no hearable accent for me 🙂 Have a nice day :))))

I just took advice from a girl that can easily be my daughter and it's great! Never close yourself to advice from younger people, they usually have clearer minds... thank you young lady, yes, the video was/is very helpfull and I love how you say "productIvitY", just love it!

I'm not very often on Yotube recently but somehow it seems I always have a hunch when you upload a video. This is basically Feng Shui that you described. I heard a story when someone completely rearranged her room and this increased her productivity by 67% percent. Love the screen by the way, that's a great choice!

now i know why i was poor in focus and concentration!! i always suspected my desk was partly to blame...now i know for sure!! you have motivated me to tidy it up and to keep it clean. thank you! (btw, i think you are so beautiful, outside and in! 😍❤)

Thanks Ruri for the tips. Hopefully i can be productive and discipline again on my study after arranging my study desk.

Thanks for sharing with us so much lessons ( not only tips, yeah, I consider all those like real lessons). Thank you!

ok this is seriously incredibly helpful. its no news that environment is important when it comes to focused work but some of these things i actually didnt know (eg the desk position Oo) - thank you ruri for this 🙏

I never thought about to picture my desk before. Very insightful! Thanks for the video

Last year, I was 90% close to achieving my biggest dream (to be an ambassador for my country) but when i failed, i broke down and i felt like a miserable failure, i have been losing focus on my goals and it's been detailing me from achieving it. Now I've got to wait a year to give it another shot. And then i found this video a week ago, and I've started focusing again on the things that matter. Thanks Riru!

I had previously been unable to focus on my studies until I found my ambition to become an independent developer. Now I can study for hours every day without interruption and focus. I think intrinsic motivation is also a key factor for focus.

Honestly ruri your video quality & Editing like START TO END Very PRODUCTIVE ✨💟

First video of your channel. Well it was very informative video. Also I find your voice very charming and pronunciation is just as good as native speaker. Keep up the good work.

My thinkings are so matching with you, that's why I Love you 💞

When I was a kid we used to sit down on the floor when revising for an exam or doing our homework’s. Usually I’d say this may get tougher as we grow older but sitting down on the floor has its benefits health wise and makes your options to change your place easier. Just grab a cushion and a small table

Finally, I a detailed explanation as to why Im struggling doing my architectural projects. I knew that having a clean and organized workspace would be very efficient in improving work performance but I never knew to what extent until I got to experience the struggle. Having to handle heavy and demanding workloads I never really even bothered to just tidy up my space just because I think its a waste of time and I i can still do my work even with my tools, books, and gadgets are on my desk convincing myself that I can clean this after my work is done. But boy as I was wrong, I never really understood why or maybe Im in just in the state of denial that I have OCD, but after watching this video I finally have someone convince me that what Ive been doing the whole time was unproductive and somehow unhealthy in some aspects. I am grateful for this video and it really has helped me understand and improve my performance and progress in my work in the architecture industry.

Thank you Ruri, once I put my computer on my desk my productivity sky rocketed.

Almost 1m 🎉 yeay!! Keep Upload quality content. I love all of your content ❤️ from Malaysia

In short: 1. Keep your workspace decluttered. 2. Avoid multitasking and compartmentalize your task to increase productivity. 3. Change your working environment. 4. Tidy your workspace at the end of the day. 5. Change your desk position to get more sun exposure. 6. Utilize productivity tools.

One important thing that you forgot to say is that you have to have a job/career that you enjoy. You can clean up your space all day but, if whatever you are focused on isn't keeping you attention or isn't keeping you motivated, then cleaning the workspace will have little to no affect. Thanks for the video, i'm new here and will subscribe.

Wow, a great video. I just clicked on it to get it in my history to watch it later because I am up late. So good and shorter than I thought I stayed for the whole thing. Great ideas for focus at your desk! 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

Some years ago I would be pissed off there was a merch in this video. But now I actually get happy cause I know creators are being supported. Also, this is the BEST kind of merch. The girl is not interrupting you with bullshit. Shes producing a content and inserted a product that makes sense

As somewhat of a minimalist for the last 10 years, I can guarantee your productivity will improve if you have less things around you. House, room, desktop, inside the computer (apps running, etc.) and get rid of that smartphone when trying to do anything! Awesome video and super beautiful and intelligent as always, dear Ruri Ohama.

I've done a lot of this already. I'd like to add a couple things. Keep your phone in another room when you want to focus. A 15 minute brisk walk is usually about 1 mile for me and it helps me feel better and more focused when I was at the office. Drinking lots of water is also better for your brains functionality. I believe your brain can work 30% better when you're hydrated (don't quote me on that number though I am remember this study on it so...)

best commercial ever, I sincerely loved it. I will seriously consider this monitor, the only drawback is that it is only 1080 pix vertical, I would have preferred 1200 at least

Your video is wonderful. I'm going to make changes to my workplace later today.. Thanks for the video. I'm grateful. Stay in peace!

One extra tip: take short breaks between tasks or just to refresh your mental energy. For example, 5-10 min break for 45-60 min of work of concentration. In this case "taking a break" means: leave your mobile device at the desk, take a short walk away from it and just do anything else for a while - get a drink, go to another room to do something else or just go outside to get fresh air for a few minutes.☺☺

First..🎉Yeayy New Video From Ruri

Ruri, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your wholesome work, It's because of you I'm making some progress in my English language ... Wish you and your family the best

Thanks you Mikasa :) There are actually some good tips there

These tips are amazing. Girl I love your content. I just want to add something more. Most of standart/neurotypical people can highly benefit from this video and I'm glad you create it. But people like me might work/study a lot better when it's full of chaos :D I have ADHD and all my life I wantted my room and my desk to be perfectly organized but I couldn't do that. Not for once. The thing is whenever I need to study I have to tidy around and guess what?.... I usually end up with organizing my paperworks, writings all day long... not studying.. not even cleaning anything properly. So that never works for me. Instead these days I gave up about the idea of a perfect set up. I do not change anything. I mean I wish I colud share a photo of my desk.. Notes spread everywhere. Like table cloth :) Books piled up right and left to my laptop etc. but now I feel more comfortable more relaxed cause I don't stress myself thinking about the mess. Plus (A BIG PLUS) seeing my notes and my daily schedule right in front of me allows me to remember my tasks and plans. I mean that probably would create pressure on normal people but for ADHD'ers it's really helpful. Because most of us struggle with short term task memory a.k.a working memory problems (in brief forgetting things, tasks , to do's constantly). So what I wanted to say we're all different in a way. And please do try these tips and others but keep in mind ''not everything works for everyone''. So please don't stress out yourself. I believe you will find the right way. Stay safe, take care.

I'll say that if you're a creative person, have that balance of clutter and clean in your room. This helps with focus while also sparking new innovative ideas :)

this is a great video. thanks ruri

ruri u help me alot to be focused, and give all i can do, thanks :) for ur videos

If I had a dollar for every time you said Asus zenscreen I would be chilling hard right now. Great and informative video as always!

Let's gooooo

I really love your voice and I also follow your tisp every time. Thanks Alot. It's really helping my channel 😊

damm u actually smart to know your audience, we living in 1B of people, and i believe not all need what u think, u keep mention desk, monitor, works out, space, books, like we are all academic and office workers , as pilot, costumer services, retail cashier , waitress, driver, chef and many more u dont need that much.. good ur really targeting segmented market really well and really consistent

How can i focus if you are that beautiful?

This was 95% a commercial

Omg. This is what I always do.

Thank you very much for your valuable help

Actually Ruri improving concentration is a crucial part of our daily lives, especially in today's fast-paced world. Here are some scientifically proven ways to fix your concentration which are as follows:- 1. PRACTICE MINDFULNESS like yoga & meditation🧘‍♂️. 2. EXERCISE🏋️‍♂️ REGULARLY 1 or 2 hours a day. 3. 7 to 8 hours sleep😴. 4. MANAGE STRESS through meditation🧘‍♂️ or deep breathing exercise. 5. MINIMIZE DISTRACTIONS. 6. STAY HYDRATED by drinking water. 7. BETTER TASKS INTO SMALLER CHUNKS like breaking very complex task into smaller to improve your over all concentration. In short, improving concentration requires a holistic approach, including regular exercise, mindfulness practice, stress management, proper sleep is very important & minimizing distractions. By incorporating these scientifically proven methods into your daily routine, you can fix your concentration & easily enhance your overall cognitive function. 🤍❤ all your videos #RURI👍

Changing location has done so much for me.

Awesome video! Easier said than done, of course. I think most people have some sort of distraction one way or another throughout the day, and it causes productivity to lack. It takes a lot to view your own set-up through a different viewpoint and actually tackle and solve the problem. Great job with that, I hope to be successful with this sooner rather than later.

why do you always look like you want to kll yourself lol.

fun fact : your wasting your time reading a random fun fact

Daha onceki bir videondan bildigim icin Turkce yaziyorum. Inglizceyi cok guzel konusuyorsun. Sadece listening calismak icin senin videonu acmistim, sayende daha da faydali hale geldi. Tesekkurler ve iyi calismalar.

I really appreciate that you're sharing with us Chinese books they are really valuable.

Here's a tip: Most of you dont need tips, you just need to realize you're all a bunch of lazy bums. Once you realize that the possibilities open up.

Second, shoulda done other title ngl

Thanks Ruri for sharing this 🙂

I just thinking about this topic then your video pop up. Really helpful. Thank you ☺️☺️👍

How can i focus when you're this hot?

your pretty face made me lose focus

really great video. kind of reminds me of fung shui, a stagnant desk stagnates the mind kinda thing. You broke the book down really well. Hope they make a english translation

Thanks for your video. After doing the recomendations of the video i sensed a higher dose of concentration

Good advice, well done with the research.

Thank you for sharing this, i hope i can get what i want

Even though I find it interesting that a clean enviroment might help me with focus(I tried it :P), I like to have things on my table that I dont use, but things that calm me down looking at them. Like I have a lil cute own statue, also a lava lamp, and keyboard with rainbow lights that keep moving. I rather this way since I'm living a super high stress and sadning life. And having this things improved my productivity, since its calms my mind Also, I loved the other tips and that monitor D: just subscribed!

Ill try, thanks!

I'm glad I watch this video....holy smokes, I have times of stuff one my desk and I've been wondering why it is so hard to focus on studying.

Its really works. Thank you for the video. I like listen something scientific and new for me.

I decided to follow your advice just now, and man has my room not been so tidy in a long time *_*

You are my lifesaver and thanks!!!

Thank you Ruri Ohama.

thank you for this video. really helps me alot. I love you.

Thank you for sharing this 🤗

You don't need to know japanese or read books for this advice. Googling how to gain motivation this is a huge thing that pops up as advice a lot. Having a clean and organized room/space motivates one to stay on the right track because in our minds and our values having things clean and tidy is a good thing to us and we want to keep having good things happen. Great video though

thanks, this video came out at the right time
