Gohar Khan is probably that one kid at school that could play video games during the whole class and still gets the highest grades.

me watching this while avoiding hw: “a win is a win”

Timestamp Section 0:58 - You're Inflating Reality 1:56 - Gain some Sense of Control 2:32 - Create an After-School Routine 3:02 - Minimum Viable Step 3:43 - Fixed before Flexible 5:15 - Evenly Distribute Everything 5:48 - The Countdown Method Summary Section Point 1: You're Inflating Reality Look at your assignments and think of how long the assignment will take. Doing this will help you lower your expectations of how hard the assignment will take. Point 2: Gain some Sense of Control As soon as you get an assignment answer the first question. This will help you not dread about the idea about the hardwork you will face, all you need to do is to keep the momentum. Point 3: Create an After-School Routine Start your work as soon as you get home, you can take a break but use a timer. This will give a defined a cut-off point for when you stop relaxing and start working. Point 4: Minimum Viable Step Do the easiest & simplest thing to get started. Don't think off all the other things you have to do or all of the other steps of the process. Do whatever you have to do even the tiniest task Point 5: Fixed before Flexible Some tasks are fixed meaning they'll usually take some Concrete Defined Amount on Time. Flexible tasks can vary, they have indefinite time to be accomplished. Do your fixed tasks then the flexible tasks, starting flexible tasks first can take up all the time. Starting with fixed tasks can leave room for you to do the Flexible tasks. Point 6: Evenly Distribute Everything Pretty self explanatory, it could make your life alot easier and prevent you from doing all your work at the last minute. Point 7: The Countdown Method Use a timer. As soon as the countdown is over you should find the impulse to jump up and start your work. It won't work everytime but it can come in handy.

Ngl avoiding homework rn

When you’re watching when you should be doing homework.

had a feeling that y'all needed this...

My after school routine which could help some of you guys: - empty backpack and take out lunchbox -snack (I usually cut up some fruit and have a small piece of chocolate) - 15 mins wind down (colouring, reading, anything u enjoy really) - homework (all of these steps make it so much easier to start working) - 15 mins chores (putting laundry away, clean ur room) -free time/screen time (phone, tv)

Hey :) I just wanted to say to whoever’s reading this… I know school can get really tough and stressful sometimes, but you can do it! I believe in you

The second he started talking about that 30 min break turning into an hour long break, I was like, he literally defined my existence.

These videos are always so helpful thanks a lot Gohar!

Holy crap right timing. Avoiding homework is exactly what I was doing and all of the sudden this video popped up. Next thing I knew it I was finishing up a really late assignment. Thank you.

The way you explain the fixable before the flexible explain SO MUCH. I'm actually the type of person to immediately start and get everything done it one go. This barely leave anytime for my personal activities. And on those extra days when I finish early, I have a complete burnout crash. 😅 I'm going to try doing this, I sure hope this won't end up in disaster where things are left unfinished..

Me as a High School student, I honestly do need help with getting my assignments done, I'm also in some AP classes, so I can't procrastinate, thanks for making these vids Gohar!

Your videos are the thing I always watch before doing my homework because it helps me get motivated thanks for the help!

By the way Gohar, I motivated myself to getting up in the morning is when my body feels warn enough

thank you mate! i have 2 projects, 2 presentations, an essay, and a few exams this week. this really helped me :)

If you have a bit more time and planning, I’ve found body doubling to be really effective at giving me motivation

It's 11:23 and I have 3 assignments due by 11:59. Thanks for the tips!

i love how organized you are, you really inspire me.

One recommendation for those who will take breaks, if you find yourself unusually productive as your break gets closer, try to push through and continue working as to capitalize fully on the productivity and focus instead of losing it by forcing a break. I've learned this from doing a few too many assignments last minute.

This makes me feel like i finally can get things together, thank you

I was just thinking of Homework just now, then saw this. Thanks man.

Thank you so much, I noted down all of these strategies. Also, I have ADHD/depression and I am often very easily burnt out, so I really appreciate the fact that you kept on acknowledging that people have different ability/strength levels and that even these strategies aren't feasible all the time. It really helped diminish the pressure I felt when thinking about executing them. Keep it up :)

I was literally thinking to myself (ugh I need motivation to do my homework) and than I see this video. Lol thank you for this :)

Your advice is extremely useful to me as a postgraduate student- with so much to do daily,my brain would just switched off and grab the switch near me. Now I understand a bit on why it happens and try to sit in front of the books or just write the title of essay to start working. Looking forward to your vids

I was just done with my math assignment that was overdue like last week and then I saw this video in my recommendations... Thank you so much Khan! I'm definetly gonna use this in the future!! ❤

another tip is to set goals. when I study it can feel like an infinite and dreadful task, but setting goals helps you feel like its actually doable. make sure that your giving 100% effort towards those goals.

Thanks! this actually really helped me, especially the 'Getting Control' part.

before when I was in 9th grade I used to procrastinate, but not too much. Now that I am a sophomore and taking more advanced classes I try not to procrastinate.

When you said take breaks i got somehow really got motivated.

I've watched lots of productivity videos but this one is short AND super useful. It was seriously very helpful, thank you a lot!

well, this is an extremely well written video, but a flaw I see with one of the things that he says it to do the first question to gain control of the situation. Obviously this will make you feel much better about doing these assignments and lower the pressure, but one can get too relaxed. Once you feel that it is much easier than you thought, you will keep on procrastinating until the last minute thinking that it will be super easy and you can do it in a quick manner. Other than that, amazing tips and thank you for making videos like these

Actually, the fixed before flexible rule has been applied to my daily routine. I didn't know there's a theory about that until I watched your video. Thanks so much Gohar! Your tips & tricks contents are always useful and applicable!

Thank you bro, Ill definitley try some of these tactics

This was SUPER helpful!! Great points!

These videos help me feel capable of tackling my goals. Thank you Gohar!

this is REALLY good advice, its actually helpful, it is SO HELPFUL, THANK YOU!!

I’m avoiding homework by watching this video.

This was a great video with new ideas I hadn't heard. The gaining control was a really good one to keep the momentum kick started. Thanks!

thank you for blessing us with this video!!

My way of dealing with procrastination was short term planning based on what I had to do for the week. Especially for college where your schedule is what you make of it, and classes become formulaic, I would consider what I had for each particular week and spread it out depending on due dates, time constraints, and difficultly of the assignment. I don't have a physical todo list or planner, I use my head to plan things out instead. This probably only works so well with me because I like things concrete and down and can be a little inflexible at times, but it all comes down to self control and discipline in the end.

Thank you man my semester is ending and my grade are doing pretty bad this video has given me motivation

Thank you, I'm a college student listening to this. Very much needed

Great video! Appreciate you and everybody else here, keep up the hard work everyone! 💯👍🏻👊🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻💪🏻

Here's another tip: do your work in order, from what you want to do least to most. Hope this helps!🎉

High school starts tomorrow!!!

Now that you brought it up, there have been several occasions where I started my "flexible" work before "fixed" work, and I usually ended up using the majority of my day for only one assignment... Truly awesome advice!
