Hey.

1
00:01.260 --> 00:04.280
Well done for completing yet another module.

2
00:04.290 --> 00:08.390
Man you're really getting these like modules like out of the way.

3
00:08.420 --> 00:15.240
Now I want to share with you another tip of mine that has really helped me to be able to concentrate

4
00:15.240 --> 00:16.240
better.

5
00:16.470 --> 00:25.650
And the trick is to basically study or, when I'm working, work on something that's hard, that I've put

6
00:25.650 --> 00:27.290
off,

7
00:27.420 --> 00:34.740
when I'm in a fasted state, so that means the first thing when I wake up in the morning. I brush my teeth,

8
00:34.890 --> 00:44.190
and I sit down, and I just do this difficult thing. And I find that, you know, when you have lunch, and especially

9
00:44.190 --> 00:53.370
if you have something quite heavy, like in carbs, like a pizza or something, you feel your brain like going

10
00:53.370 --> 01:01.050
to sleep, right? It's like really really hard to concentrate and everything just feels so, 'Oh, like I can't

11
01:01.050 --> 01:02.550
wait to just go home.

12
01:02.550 --> 01:11.370
I can't think.'. And I find that if you try to work when you're in like the opposite of that, when you've

13
01:11.370 --> 01:18.180
just woken up, you haven't eaten anything yet, maybe you've had a black coffee but nothing that has any

14
01:18.180 --> 01:21.850
sort of calorific value, right? In that moment,

15
01:22.860 --> 01:30.320
I am like the sharpest as can be, and I found that, you know, through tweaking with my diet sometimes, like

16
01:30.420 --> 01:35.910
especially like not having such a heavy lunch or not having so much carbs for lunch,

17
01:36.240 --> 01:44.310
I find that I can think more clearly, but nothing beats that early morning and fasted, that early morning

18
01:44.310 --> 01:45.650
fasted state,

19
01:45.870 --> 01:52.350
and I'm just able to think more clearly. Now make sure, be safe, if you have diabetes or if you have

20
01:52.350 --> 01:57.180
some other condition that like, that doesn't allow you to do this, then don't do it.

21
01:57.180 --> 02:00.100
It's just a suggestion. It's just something that works for me.

22
02:00.330 --> 02:03.000
So have a go at that and keep going.

23
02:03.000 --> 02:05.370
You're getting really really far in the course now.
