Listen "103. How Long Should I Study and How Do I Stay Motivated? (Q&A)"
Episode Synopsis
In this month's Q&A episode, I'm answering two questions that hit on some of the biggest study and productivity myths out there. Question One: A college student asks how to study for six to eight hours straight without crashing. My answer? Don't. Question Two: Someone asks about staying motivated to finish projects once the initial excitement wears off. Spoiler: motivation isn't the answer.
