Amy can you please give me tips on how to study many subjects a video on

how to study for many subject tips to study subject please make a video about how
to AUD on multiple subjects in high school my English teacher refused to sign off
on my class selection for the next year that's because not only was I asking to
take so many classes but every single one of them was a weighted 5.0 GPA out of
four I was literally maxing out the difficulty of my course schedule and she was
scared for me however I was so confident that I could

handle it that I convinced her she handed my class proposal back to me

with a sticky note saying you're crazy Amy and guess what I didn't regret my
decision instead I aced every single class while maintaining my sleep schedule of
an average of 8 hours per night while still playing Varsity Sports so how did I
study so many subjects at once that's what you'll find out today woo didn't know I
could aberrate huh well did you also know that I'm an Olympic level ping pong star
no I'm not nearly as cool as that Amy Wang but I do

have the best team The A Team which you are a part of if you watch my
channel that's because my videos teach you how to get A's the cool way with
holistic mindsets and habits that serve you beyond school if you're committed to
excelling in all of your many classes while stressing less then turn this video on
full screen mode and prepare to lock in if you listen to the last tip you've got
what it takes let's go you're going to love this first one I assume you don't want
to study for entire days on end I certainly did not want to study

for a full day guess what you shouldn't I rarely had days where I spent
the whole chunk of my waking hours studying that's because I wanted to watch a K
drama with my sister or in college I wanted to visit Hollywood with my friends when
I had something to look forward to every weekend or after school I was even more
efficient and motivated to work that's because I wasn't hating life when you're
happier you're more productive even if you feel like you need to study for a whole
day to handle all of your many classes plan a nice

walk or dinner for quality time with your loved ones and I promise the
hour you squeeze out will be worth it people brag online like oh how I study 12
hours in a row and here's how you can do it too as if there's an award for running
yourself into the ground or something they make it feel like you're doing something
wrong if you're not studying all day but if I was studying happily and sustainably
while getting top grades I had to be doing something right breaking up my days with
fun in between the coolest way to get A's isn't

to study 24/7 because ironically that wouldn't be very smart but you know
who is smart lazy people the laziest people are the smartest people think about the
dishwasher if someone wasn't lazy enough to be like ew I don't want to wash the
dishes by hand then we probably wouldn't have this amazing invention today so I
think of lazy as the following when faced with a difficult situation try to work
smarter before working harder so find shortcuts AP Government sophomore year was so
tedious and really hard we

had to fill out gigantic packets of information for homework every single
week these packets were literally 20 Pages thick as thick as my eyeball and if
you're doing so many classes is one tedious timeconsuming class can drag everything
else down so I took that packet I went to lovely Google and typed out one of the
questions in the exact wording oh my gosh guess what happened I found quizlets with
the exact questions from the packets with the answers in full complete explanations
now no this is not cheating because I still would

have had to dig through the text to end up getting the exact same answers
it's not like I was getting greater understanding from searching the answers myself
rather than just using Quizlet if a shortcut gives you the same result and the same
learning you gain from it then don't reinvent the wheel cut your losses maybe you
like making presentations pretty but if it's going to be timec consuming it's not
worth it because it's no longer going to be fun when it's sucking time away from
your other classes so think how can I be the

laziest possible while still getting the same results when you go to the
gym do you think you're going to be able to do 100 sets of bicep curls 50 sets of
squats no because at one point when you try to overload yourself you get
diminishing returns the same thing with studying so don't overload your brain this
means don't do all of your memorization subjects in one day when I tried to
memorize history facts and biology terms in the same study session eventually my
brain felt like it was going to explode and it couldn't retain

a single new piece of information I tried to shove in there your brain

physically cannot encode that much at once however please note that problem solving
classes are okay to do in a day or study session in high school and at Caltech my
class schedule was filled with 80 to 90% science and math classes and I found that
actually by studying them together I can make connections between math and physics
for example and still learn effectively when you have too many classes it's really
easy to let one assignment slip through the cracks

and that can make a big difference to your grade that is why I use a
Tracker in addition to the usual days of the week in my planner I would draw my own
grid system for each week I would have a blue and green section for blue and green
days cuz my school was on a block schedule for each of my blue and green days I had
four classes so one 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 not kidding my makeshift grid on my planner was
actually as messy and freestyle like this next I have Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday Friday seven days a

week at the top as I'm going about each day I would check off whether
each class's to-dos were done for example if I am on Monday and I've already done
everything I need for class one on Blue days and I didn't have anything for Class 2
I finished my class three things blah blah blah then I would check them all off
this way even if I didn't write an assignment down in the regular planner section I
would ensure that every single class is captured so I next on Tuesday as I'm doing
my work okay I did blue two then I did green one okay

didn't have any work for green two blah blah blah until for every single
day I make sure that the entire column has full check marks systems like these
trackers are the core of time management that's why I also recommend this specific
class on skillshare called productivity and time management strategies for goal
setting and eliminating distractions that title literally sounds like it was made
for us right thanks so much skillshare for sponsoring this portion of the video if
you don't know they're an online

learning community where experts from various Industries teach you art
entrepreneurship productivity and more common question students have when handling
so many things is where do I start how do I even do this daunting task Patrick Deng
shares how to create the Snowball Effect so progress becomes EAS easier and easier
once you take your tasks Bird by bird making it less stressful and having many
classes makes prioritization even more important dang Patrick D also teaches you
how to prioritize and set smart goals with his

worksheet I especially like how he calls all of this together a

productivity machine because being productive should feel easier and almost
automatic if you're using the right mindsets and habits you can never learn learn
too much about how to organize your ideal life so I've been going through Patrick's
sections and I really enjoy learning in a more structured way than perhaps random
videos on YouTube and lucky you because you can actually listen to his class for
free because the first 500 people can get a free one

month of skillshare Premium with a link in my description as a private

tutor I've seen how students make the mistake of putting an equal amount of effort
on all subjects and all Concepts instead you should adapt by weight and difficulty
like I share in this video about how to cram effectively you should spend the most
time firstly on items that will give you the most points on assignments and tests
you can find out which Concepts have the highest weight by looking in your syllabus
or explicitly asking your teacher never be

afraid to talk to your teacher next you prioritize by difficulty review

the classes or concepts that you struggle the most with resist the temptation to
always look back at what you already understand I know it feels great and you get a
dopamine hit when you review that page again that you already know because wow you
feel so smart but it's better to feel dumb now and review what you don't know than
feel dumb on the test imagine tackling one class as sawing down a tree well it
would be very helpful if your

saw was sharp right then if you spend time sharpening the saw you can saw
down your trees even faster so what happens when you have many classes well you're
going to have to saw down a whole heck of a lot of trees so it's even more
important that you sharpen the saw how do you do this being healthy is not optional
I repeat being healthy is not optional that's why even when I had a lot of classes
or extracurriculars working out taking supplements eating veggies and protein at
every meal these are all non-negotiables

your body your physical and mental state are all parts of the saw you
need in order to tackle each of your classes it's well worth the time and effort to
sharpen your saw because that's going to save you time and effort when you're
actually sawing down the trees why do I always say I sleep an average of 8 hours a
night I don't sleep enough just because I'm efficient at studying I'm efficient at
studying because I sleep enough mic drop the golden mindset here we go go back to
the basics oh ew that's

boring what what do you even mean see that's the thing the basics that
everyone has heard hundreds of times before are boring but the boring tips are what
work that's why every single person says the same thing Basics are do active recall
ask for help take care of your body and many more that I just don't have the time
for to list all of them in this video stop looking for for that magical new tip
with the time you're spending watching new videos you could have made a lot more
progress by following basic boring advice this is

cool okay listen to this when you watch any one of my videos even if it
doesn't say explicitly this is how you handle many subjects all of my advice will
help you handle many different subjects that's because this is the core of all of
my advice to handle things efficiently effectively and sustainably since I took the
hardest classes each year of high school and studied chemical engineering at one of
the hardest schools in the world naturally all of my advice helps you excel in
tough stressful situations that's why I tell

you my background in the intros I've made videos on how to study

efficiently how to take notes quickly and time management yet people still
specifically want a video titled how to handle many subjects but have you you used
every single efficient studying technique for an individual class because if you
cut down the study time for each class it's automatically going to be easier to
study for more classes you will be amazed that if you follow my note taking advice
of annotating it will automatically be easier to study for
 many different tests on the same day if you use my digital planner you
will automatically be making a cheat sheet study guide for each of your classes we
have to be thoughtful and holistically make connections between different problems
in our lives the same good habits are solutions to multiple problems you're having
each little habit makes a difference you may not think that efficient note taking
is relevant to handling many subjects because well I didn't explicitly say that but
of course it will help you the magic behind basic

advice isn't how magical the tips actually are but it's in how much you
actually convert them you determine how magical the advice is if you're here
congrats you got through my big preaching session didn't have one of those in a
while you have also got what it takes so comment I like the swoosh because you're
already so smart and you know what you have to do so just do it by commenting this
we confuse the people who just half-butted this video and went down to the comments
then they will feel like they missed out on some team

bonding but let's be real you do miss out if you skip some part to my
video because why would I leave them in if I didn't think they were helpful in some
way good job remember you can hone your time management skills in a structured way
with skillshare as well as learn about many different things like art design
entrepreneurship the first 500 people who use my link can try for free I also want
to say thank you so much to you for giving me opportunities to work with helpful
resources like skillshare

Partnerships like these truly truly make it possible for me to continue

putting in so much ever and make these videos for you so thank you very much great
job I'll see you next time 18 peace sorry flowers balance surprise face ooh look at
that look at that okay just kidding un M un M the longer I do this the figer it
looks feel sleeping I feel the com recently I've been journaling a lot think what I
really realized is I am an extroverted person and I love knowing that people are
grinding alongside me

which is probably why even though work was so hard and difficult at
Caltech that I didn't feel this uneasiness that I do right now another source of my
milrom of emotions in side is I recently visited the Harvard Business School campus
and it's so beautiful oh my gosh I might have just set myself up for major
disappointment I can totally see myself going there I took a photo with a sign that
might have been another mistake but I'm just trying to manifest here yeah it makes
me worried because I'm getting my hopes up and the higher

your hopes the farther you fall but I'm also thinking I want to try even
hard harder but how do I do that and it's like life has not been dealing me such
easy cards recently mentally I'm not as strong as I used to be feel like I should
be able to handle all of this and I'm trying really hard so I just have to trust
myself that at the end of the day I'm still going to submit a product that I feel
like is 10% up to my standards if my written application is good and I pass on to
the next stage of actually

getting an interview when I think about that I have PTSD from my mock
interview with Sandy the only HBS version interview I had that was a few user few
years ago and I actually had a migraine right before that started oh my gosh it
went so bad so there my embarrassment lives on the internet forever applying to
something is so stressful by also don't want it to be stressful because I know that
the actual result has many things outside of my control even so now I'm just going
to share you know some

stats for HPS the acceptance rate is around 12% the average GPA is a 3.73
a median GMAT score of 740 I have a 4.0 and chemical engineering from Caltech and I
got a GMAT score of 760 another fun fact during that virtual GMAT test taking I
actually had three technical difficulties it was so stressful and disrupted my flow
of taking a test but you know we still made it through miraculously so
theoretically I should be in pretty good shape when it comes to Stats that also
puts even more pressure on myself like I have to be so perfect

to not botch my application HBS along with Stanford GSB are the two
hardest MBA programs to apply to HBS especially because they look really closely at
your short answer questions just as closely as the essay and they're going to grill
you I mean ask you very deep questions on the interview even though I have all
these emotions the only thing I can do is to continue going and adjust my State of
Mind by going to the gym meditating doing what I can do because you know it's just
a push I'm going to have

to do and when it's over I'm going to be so grateful the only thing I
would regret after the deadline is if I didn't give my all I feel like I end all of
these mini Vlogs like this let's go confidence sugar and spice I
