Kay and I were talking the other day and she was discussing an email exchange she was having with a student. She wanted to figure out how to help this student but she wanted to see what I was thinking about it…
I’ll call the student J…
J was saying something like:
“I want to study better but I don’t want to use active recall or flashcards…”
That’s tough for a study “gooroo” like myself to listen to because active recall is kind of like my superpower.
And J doesn’t like it. I get that… I didn’t always love it…
I wrote a whole book on the subject…
101 Strategies To Improve Your Grades Without Studying More
This is an ebook that’s been downloaded tens of thousands of times. I literally have emails in my inbox from readers telling me this book changed their life. I guess it’s easy to get caught up thinking there is only 1 way to do something.
There is a world of possibilities. Don’t miss out.

P.S.
Since J gave me this helpful reminder that I lose focus on the real goals sometimes too, here is a coupon that will get you J’s Super Special Discount until Friday: EXPIRED
Have you ever sabotaged your success doing this silly little thing?
Ever procrastinate?
You only procrastinate the stuff that sucks. You don’t say, “Ahhh… I’ll read that text from my crush later.” Nope. Now… Any pause is intentional and coordinated to respond better.
Here is the problem with academics:
You probably think most academic stuff sucks – at least a little. (Especially compared to other things you could be doing.)
And the thing is:
FORCING YOURSELF TO STUDY JUST MAKES IT WORSE!
You’re slowly hardening your association of school and being miserable.
You need to create positive associations with academics. You want your brain to be getting hyped up and positive when you’re thinking about studying and giving into this internal oligarchical instinct to force yourself to studying – ain’t helpin’.
Chill the internal dictator for a moment…
A big secret: You need to STOP forcing yourself to study so much.
But, if you’re not forcing yourself then how are you going to see those killer straight-a’s that you’re always dreaming about?
WAKE UP!
Get your copy of my book about How To Get Happier Straight A’s.
It only costs $4.99 (and if these strategies don’t work like magic like it has for thousands of other students then you can get a full refund.)
