what I do when I don’t want to study 

It is SOO easy to lose motivation with studying which is why it’s important to make studying a habit, not something you only do when you’re feeling motivated. Thanks for the tips Ruby! 🙏🏽💛

1:27 go outside 1:48 have shower 1:57 make your workspace pleasant 2:36 study w/ me videos 3:08 meditate or journal 3:14 positive affirmations 3:17 building things into routine 4:38 do easier taks 7:25 setting 5 min timer 7:59 timer as per task Thank you so much Ruby for the efforts you put into the video!

The perfectionism thing and editing line by line was exactly what I did and Ruby is complete right. My way of getting round that was to hand write my essays. Because I was handwriting, I would obviously have to type it all up afterwards, and so it functionally separated the writing and the editing, so when I was typing, the meat was done and THEN I could edit them sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph. I also found it gave me the freedom to jump around the essay and write out of order and just get the good ideas down (something I really struggled with when writing directly onto a word doc). I used felt tip pens because they're really good for fast movements (vs a thinner point pen) and I colour coded by sections I thought I wanted that paragraph to go in so there was some order in the word soup. Honestly, saved my masters, I wrote every essay AND my 14k word dissertation this way.

This is exactly what I was talking about today with my mom, the fact that I have troubles to start studying and stick to a schedule and that I will need to find solutions for the next semester/ next school year Can't wait to see the video! Thank you Ruby 🌻

I literally needed this so much. Thank you for always helping us and sharing your tips. During exam season, this couldn’t have come at a better time. ❤️

I'm in the midst of exams and it's generally quite stressful with the expectations that I have of my grades. Especially since I'm in my second year which means that these grades contribute to my overall degree mark. So the end of this video really hit me and gave me more perspective to be kinder to myself and I'm just really thankful for that ❤ Good luck to everyone who's currently having exams, I'm sure we'll all do our best!

Also, read something about a topic that really interests you. I'm really into Astrophysics, sadly we never do Astrophysics in Physics classes. So, when I'm not motivated to study for anything at all and I have time, I give myself 15 min - 30 min to read something about Astrophysics and then I'm already in the studying mode, so I can easily change the subject as well

10:25 thank you, Ruby for making me realize my problem! because this past week, I had to submit 2 long drafts and I was just sitting in front of my laptop, writing and deleting it, which resulted in not having them done AT ALL! You can't imagine the stress I've experienced. Perfectionism in essay writing is HELL! thanks, ruby (and thanks to IB for making my life miserable)

I needed this badly right now! Thank you Ruby for constantly being a motivation for me since years.

This came at just the right time: literally procrastinating my essay as I watch this (guess fate wants me to write about Thatcher then…)! 💛

I love the perspective that your first draft of anything doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s comforting knowing that I’m not the only one who stresses about making every word count!! Thank you for all the study tips Ruby!!

The motivation to do comes after you start.

As this is my third and final week of exams, I really needed this video!!! Thanks Ruby :)

I watch your videos whenever I get bored studying. I wanna study like you and be succeed.

Fear of failure and poverty is a fabulous motivator...

I was feeling very stressed because my exam starts next week. Your videos makes me motivated.Thank you Ruby❤️

So nice to hear that you too spent a long time on essays at univeristy! I've had essays for the last two weeks which we've been given 24hrs to complete, which allows for waaaaay too much time for me to write it!! My inner perfectionist has shone through!!! :')

Maybe it's weird but i've never actually felt motivated for anything. No matter if it's something I like doing or not, I never feel like doing it. It's a constant battle of wits WANTING to do something but not feeling like it. I tend to just force myself through it and get to the feeling productive. These tips are definitely good! Love seeing how others deal with it.

Something that always worked to motivate me to do school work was a desire to impress my professors with my work ethic. I would get an assignment to write an essay that would be due a month later and I would ask them to review a first draft a day or two later. I always enjoyed the look of shock they had when I handed it to them.

I guess I have never been this fast for anyone's video. Thanks for this video. I literally needed a little push now.

Yes study blogs and notes flip through a are what got me through school! 100%

Love your channel… you’re so driven, organized and motivated. Really helpful videos!

Perfect timing for me Ruby! Thanks so much for the video😊 got 2 A level exams on Monday and I’m hitting he revision👍🏼 Actually hoping to get the grades for my firm choice of Exeter to study economics! Thx again🙏 xx

Having shower, tidying my room and feeling clean really helps my motivation but the problem is i can't find the motivation to do all of those things😂 Sometimes i have to psychologically prepare myself before an hour in order to have a shower.

watching this and hoping it will help me finish my two term papers I have left :) I've already written 4 others and I'm so burnt out. gotta push through!

Thanks so much for this video Ruby! I've got my first lot of exams coming up and the workload is a lot more than I expected! Your videos really help me to stay positive. Also a quick request: would you please do another readathon vlog? I love watching these videos and they are probably my favorite of your videos!

Watching this to start today's paper-writing session. Thanks for the amazing tipps. Another thing I've found to be effective, is to just write down a question like "Why is this important?" "What is one thing that is interesing about this?" etc. Great to get going, and, if you're writing a paper, you take away the pressure of writing a decent first sentence.

Dear Ruby, thank you so much for this video!

thank you for the tips! I always feel unmotivated and lazy to study and I need this, I'll try it right now

Hi! Loved this video, I've been in a very unmotivated state recently. Another thing that works for me is changing my workspace! If I feel unmotivated, a lot of times it's because of my space. I'd recommend going to a coffeeshop or library, or if that's not possible, work in another room or outside!

I feel calm when I watch your video

Throughout this video, I feel like you resemble a bird flying out freely, happy to be let out of any confinements. Not that academic responsibilities are always binding, but you know what I mean. Just you travelling around in the video and your energy here made me think of it ☺️. Thank you soo much for all the tips. I have important exams right now and will try out all of your suggestions

I really needed this video, finals are coming in a week! Thanks, Ruby. 💛

I just needed this so much ,I have exams in a week from now and i can't get myself to finish everything .. Thank you so much Ruby ..

I really needed this. Thanks Ruby :)

Happy Birthday Ruby!!!! (for yesterday :)

i can't believe it. you did it again girl!!!!!! you read my mind ruby you are ❤SUCH a life-saver❤. thank you for this

I’m on a very practical course but I also had a breakdown today lol so this video came at the right time also x

Your room looks so cozy!

I've read studies that having to many choices leave people paralyzed and distressed. Having less choices can really improve people's mental health. I know it's sort of a paradox. I'm really happy to see someone Acknowledge this besides psychologists and modern philosophers.

Wasn't it your birthday yesterday ? Many happy returns of the day. Best wishes.

Something in her voice just motivates me to study... She is a my inspiration...

This was perfect timing !! I have lots of projects due over the summer and it's exam season too So tysm!!

Hi ruby, please make more detailed review videos about the books you have read both classics and contemporary

Thank you very much for this video!

Would you say you have more motivation now than when you were GCSE's, or less? If so, how have you maintained your motivation for so long?

I have figured that if I perform a few push ups or sit ups and meditate for 2-3 minutes my motivations comes back, of course take a break after 45 minutes or so if you need it

How did you know I needed this hahahah 😅 Thank you!!

This is so helpful, thanks a lot Ruby 😊 There's an important deadline coming up and I have been procrastinating. The 5 minute timer seems like a really good option for me. Thank you!

Thanks for your positive video!!!

Simple tips and yet so inspirational.

I loved the style of this video so much!! The first few minutes in particular were particularly great 😊

I recommend you all to read the book ‘How to be an imperfectionist’ by Stephen Guise. You’re welcome ❣️

to anyone who listens to music on RU-vid while studying: please, try to use Spotify or any music platform because it pollutes way less! thank you :) (usually there is the link to the Spotify playlist in the description box)

It’s as if you know just when we need help with something Ruby. You’re absolutely amazing!

I’ve just finished exam season of second year uni, still clicked straight away

Ruby I think you should do a home tour ASAP I'm dying to see every part of your home

I absolutely LOVE all kinds of ur videos but could u pls make a video on "HOW TO BECOME A BOOKWORM" as I really want to but I just don't sit down to read anything

Hello ruby! so I know you did your dissertation on Lewis Carrol's letters and I reccomend watching absolute history's was there a true story behind Alice in wonderland. Its on youtube but it is a bit long about an hour. It is really informative and it really puts a new perspective on Lewis himself.

a review on the remarkable would be amazing, boo!

I love that cosy intro so much! ❤️

Right Video at Right time 🤗

Sooo good love you rubyy❤❤

OMG YOUR DOG IS SOO CUTE 🥰

This was actually super helpful, thanks :)

Hi Ruby, would you be able to do a video about text books that you found particularly useful during your degree? I'm coming to the end of my second year of teacher training and would love to focus more on children's literature in year three. Thanks!

Always book in her Hand, She lives in Countryside!! Isn't she a real life Belle?🥀

Hey Ruby could you make a video on how to get into classic books like a tale of two cities.

What is the name of the symphony that plays at the end?

This was super helpful for me! Tysm!!

Impeccable timing, Ruby, as I've got my master's exam coming up and I'm stressed and catch myself procrastinating quite a bit. Would you mind sharing some of your study affirmations?

Thank youuuu

What an extraordinary teapot!!!!

hi ruby. how are u? actually i wanna ask to you pleaseee upload new series of dark academia videos🪐 by the way much loves from australia 🤍🌷

Hello from Galicia (Spain) I love your content. I'm an ESL teacher and sometimes writer -mostly ad honorem- buuuut I'm dying to know more about your tea set: where did you get it?! You'd be an amazing ESL teacher... think about it. There's a program with the Spanish government for speaking aids (auxiliaries de conversación) and as an experience it might come in handy. Gracias!

Ruby, it has been 6 days since you posted your last video. Are you alright? Please come back to do more routines of yours please? Support you always!
