0:00I find your approach to studying ,
0:01Morashi-sensei , the most human and
0:03reassuring . When I see other lawyers or
0:05teachers talking about studying on
0:07YouTube , they only ever suggest
0:08impossible things like studying 18
0:10hours a day , which feels fake and based
0:11on pure grit . Just as you suggested ,
0:13I’m using a stopwatch to track my
0:14actual study time and writing down my
0:15progress at home to visualize it . By
0:16studying for 30 minutes and taking a 30
0:18- minute break , I’ve been able to stay
0:19focused on my work . Thank you very much
0:21. Oh , thank you . You’re absolutely
0:23right that you have to put in the
0:24effort . However , the problem is that
0:27people use " grit " as if it’s a sprint
0:30rather than a marathon . Studying 18
0:33hours a day is exactly that — a sprint
0:35— and sure , you can pull it off for a
0:38day or two . I think people might have
0:41picked up that habit cramming for exams
0:43back when they were students .
0:46Personally , I never really pushed
0:48myself to study that hard for exams
0:50back then . I didn't really care about
0:52the exams , you see . Everyone got into
0:54the habit of thinking that " studying
0:56hard " means doing a massive amount of
0:58work all at once . I’ve talked before
1:00about how to handle slacking off for
1:02three days ; if you have 100 days left ,
1:04missing three days is only 3 % , right ?
1:06It’s the same principle — going
1:08all-out for three days when you have
1:10100 days left only accounts for 3 % . If
1:12you could actually keep up 18 hours a
1:14day for 100 days , that would be great ,
1:16but it’s simply impossible . There
1:19might be times when you need to push
1:21for 18 hours , but a strong
1:23long-distance runner saves their energy
1:25; they might have a final sprint , but
1:27they don't waste stamina along the way .
1:29Studying 18 hours a day is exactly that
1:31— a waste — and I don't think you
1:33should be doing that . What’s most
1:35important is to do it every single day
1:37for 100 days and compete based on the
1:40total volume . Yes . Please keep that
1:42image in mind as you go .
