I look forward to part 2! I'm just starting my PhD and need to read a lot but I'm finding I get way too tired by the early afternoon with an overwhelming sense of physical and mental fatigue and can't carry on. I listened to Deep Work by Cal Newport (which also you mentioned in a recent vid) and it was a bit tricky to be told our limit is 4 hours when really I need to do more than that right now (however true it might be!). The people who make these videos talk lots about motivation, but I have plenty of that, nobody seems to talk about the tiredness? Would love to know what you think about that.

That's so relatable!! Btw, I've also started listening ro Cal and reading his book, but, guess what, I dont manage to have enough time even to do that...

As someone who used Cal Newport's advice to accomplish my candency but also had to work 10+ hour days every day for a few months, I think I can offer some ideas on this. Feel free to agree or disagree. 1. Your first 4 hours are where you will do your best work. This means if you have to do 10, then make the first 4 your PhD work. Also know it's just a reality that your 5th+ hours of work are going to be produced more slowly and with less quality. That's fine. If that means on the 5th hour you need to take an hour break after every hour you work, then do whatever you need to. 2. If you work 10+ hours of work everyday, you will need more and more rest to recover as time goes on. This is just a constraint you must deal with. Prioritize sleep and activities that make life worth living. 3. Have a shutdown ritual to adequately recover. This habit, if done consistently, will let your body and mind know you don't need to think of work further. I drink a particlar brand of beverage and oragnize my desk for the next day. You need lowered anxiety and mental arousal to relax, sleep, and make this sustainable. 4. Finally the biggest point is that working on ONE thing at a time saves you the most time by making you produce better quality of work faster. BUT IT WILL FEEL YOU ARE BEING SLOW, while time flies. This is good and part of the process. Hope this helps.

@@RonniiV Wow you did a lot of work! Thank you for sharing your experience, thankfully I don't quite need to do 10 hours a day I hope it all went well for you! Those are great tips and certainly recalibrating my expectations around the post-4 hour mark will help. I listened to Atomic Habits after Deep Work and really liked it, already started some rewards and habit stacking (in the mid afternoon when I get tired I've started walking home from the library to get some exercise and listen to a fun audiobook). I'm just at the start so I'll try to develop and keep up these good habits 😀

Chaining habits with easy triggers like waking up and fun rewards like solving puzzles, coloring and reading, along with a habit tracker that makes want not to break the streaks, has worked to me.

Hi Charlotte! I've been watching your videos for a really long time and I certainly enjoy them. What I particularly love about this video is that it provides a narrative based on scientific studies rather than everyday experiences. I used to believe that the mental resource that offers us motivation is a limited one. You, as a neuroscientist, said no and provided useful suggestions. I really appreciate that.

Hello Charlotte, I have been following you for a long time, even when I first saw your channel, I put all your videos in the watch later section without realizing it. I live in Turkey and i graduated psychological counselor this year. Even as a child, my other friends wanted professions such as police, firefighter, spider man :D as a requirement of their psychological development. But I always wanted to be a scientist, I observed nature, I always watched the surroundings silently, trying to understand what was going on. As a child, my biggest dream was to live a life in the attic with my test tubes and books. I look now and see that what I want it's hasn't changed much. I did a lot of research outside of my own country to become a scientist that field and develop in neuropsychology. This area reaally attracts me so much, Charlotte, you wouldn't believe it. Can you recommend any guide or a course, book or anything? Because I really want to be a scientist working on this subject. Your recommendations are gold to me.

I think it is amazing to want to become a scientist, and instead of a book I would try to follow some of your favourite scientists on Twitter, as they post most of their work on there. For example you can start here: Neuro_Skeptic, @fMRI_today, @russpoldrack. Good luck 🌸

Hello Charlotte, Great video again. If possible can you discard the transition effect that you use inbetween each section of the video as I felt it breaks my concentration. Also I saw an earlier video on your channel where you have not used any transition effect and background music and that video felt great as I could concentrate for long on the contents that you had to share rather that anything else. Best wishes!!! P.S ignore my comment if you don't agree with it.
