aim

• see how legit this vid is
• find some nickles
• real tips from diff culture

though

• legit: not that much
  • sounded very ai generated
    • it’s like mapping western’s existing normal productivity tips with their chinese word counterpart. i don’t think this clip contain that much of real ‘what makes asian students different’ kinda tips
• is it useful: 50%
  • i find most tips derived from justin sung’s learning principles more grounded , refined, and fleasible
  • but it’s fun vid for recognize each study tips with existing tips i knew

tips

1. plan ahead and reduce micro decisions from phone noti
   1. vid-justinsung-productivity_system
2. flow matching and rest
   1. don’t do high cognitive tasks when you already exhaust from previous long study session.
   2. do physical rest (nap)
   3. note: for me it’s better to do high effort rest like justin sung’s video about rest vid-justinsung-rest
3. time blocking
   1. strict time blocking, make use of a deadline effect
4. deadtime
   1. use deadtime for hobbies, not study
   2. can devide: some for hobbies, some for rest
5. protect real free time (make it on your real time table), prevent revenge bedtime procrastination
   1. bedtime procrastination : academic usage
   2. revenge bedtime : originate from china

wisdom

• oh revenge bedtime (not bedtime procrastination) came from china weibo
• deadtime
  • hobby (something like language learning, music practice, sketching, etc.)
  • rest
• big rest time
  • hobby
  • rest vid-justinsung-rest
• i’m half disagree to the nap part, for my own context it might be better for do a short walk
