If you want to check out the book I'm reading, by Steven Pinker, I highly recommend it: amzn.to/2CZUJSs Also: don't have the idea in your mind that I'm a robot because I plan some days carefully. I explained this in a reply to another comment, but essentially the goal of planning like this is to reduce the background noise in my mind. If I'm able to make a plan that allows me to do everything that I need to do, then I can find time to do things like get coffee with friends and not have to worry about the fact that I'm "wasting time"... because I have a plan that I know will let me achieve what I want to achieve. This allows me to be more in the present and reduces stress for me. I also don't plan every day like this. I didn't plan anything formally today, like most Saturdays, I just went where the day took me and chilled out. Rest is super important. tl;dr: I plan meticulously so that when I'm on, I'm on, and when I'm off, I'm off.

John Fish is the most Harvard name I’ve ever heard

“I’d like to get to bed by 10” *me watching this video at 2am*

“After I read the book I’m going to meet up with the author of the book. “ 😭😭😭

*Plot twist* He’s homeschooled and his mums name is Harvard

Where’s the part where u scroll through Instagram, Reddit for 3 hours and watch random UKposts vids for 4 hours while procrastinating on all your work. Or is that just me.......

John flexin on us with the airpods 😳😤

that day keeping notebook is an example of why he’s at havard

I'm getting stressed out and anxious by just looking at his to-do list.

The alarm in the beginning got me triggered

Oh no he got airpods, he can't hear us

The “happiness” section being empty is a big mood 💀💀

*Sow a thought, and you reap an act;* *Sow an act, and you reap a habit;* *Sow a habit, and you reap a character;* *Sow a character, and you reap a destiny*

wow alarm gave me ptsd !!!!

on your first "a day in a life of a harvard student..." you were drinking tea. and now that youre a sophomore, you're drinking coffee. lol just noticed it anyway. great inspiring vids :)

60% of my day is napping

Make a video about a Harvard party pls. Friend of mine is a Kappa Sig at Harvard and said Malia Obama gets pretty wild on the weekends, you should to get her in a vid asap

My guy still didn’t snooze is this guy even human

I'm a grad student across the river at BU (hello, neighbor!), but I still watch your videos for organizational tips haha. I read some comments suggesting that being so scheduled makes one's life too predictable/boring. I find it just the opposite. When I am properly scheduled, my life opens up. I can actually do MORE fun things because my core priorities are already taken care of. When it's noon and I've already done my workout, class work, and house chores, I can say yes to dinner out that night, or stay in and binge Netflix without worrying about still needing to do this or that. It's worth it to be so organized like yourself. You're obviously going to be (and already are) very successful in life because of it!

This makes want to go do my homework

John, the fact that you have such a structured life, doesn't ever affect your mental stability negatively? I'm genuinely curious. Doesn't this lack of spontaneity kind of cause suffocation? Like knowing everything in advance 24/7. I'm not talking about extreme procrastination and to be honest it's awesome that it doesn't affect you but I don't know, while I have some more vague schedule, structuring to such a detail simply makes me anxious. Doesn't this whole rush to get everything (because we're talking about a lot of things) in time, make you unable to relax in a therapeutic way (if that makes sense)?

Ordered your growth book, very excited! :)

I was super scared to start school again (I’m 25 and dropped out of college at 18), but I’ve found your videos to be really encouraging. I started back up again in the fall and have really been enjoying it. Your positive presence has been really influential, so thank you! I hope your year is going well so far.

He should ask Lil pump for advice

But like, when do you look at your phone and procrastinate?🤔😅

Your videos make me want to be a more enthusiastic student and enjoy books more. Thank you for making them

I want to be this productive with my life one day

John, you are a legend. I am very happy to be on this journey vicariously with you across the country. Keep doing you man, I am rooting for you.

It is really awesome that you create these videos, even as you are going through highly demanding education there at Harvard. Thank you for your energy! I enjoy them greatly here in Finland!

I saw you today, fellow UKpostsr! I was browsing at the Harvard Bookstore, and I walked over to the remainders by the front window, and there you were, on the other side of the glass, looking at the books in the window! One of the first times I've ever seen a UKpostsr in the real world - I'd have loved to say hi, but I had an arm-load of books!

This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way

*anxiety and frequent panic attacks have entered the chat*

So happy that you are posting again after a small break :)

I have one of your journals and I love it so much so that I bought another one 🥰 thanks for the advice about the motivation section. I usually just leave it blank 😁

I’m so jealous you have a course with Steven Pinker! He’s someone I love to listen to and I’m planning on reading his book. Perks of going to school at Harvard I guess haha. Keep up the good work man

Best end card I’ve seen to date; it’s hard to beat a great sense of humour. Thank you for such a personal day in the life. It’s informative, inspirational and motivational to those also committed to personal growth!

Hey man... really appreciate the content !!!😍

hoping to go to harvard 😂 but the closest thing i’ll get to going to harvard is watching your video 😂

Office hours with Steven Pinker... so awesome, man. I'll relish in some imagined great conversation vicariously through you. :)

I’m happy you’re living a good life man, I hope everything goes well for you in the future!

Oh my, I'm so jealous... Psychology with Steven Pinker... That's like the most amazing thing I have ever heard of.

Hi John, I love the new video! I was just accepted to the class of 2023 at Harvard and your videos were a big inspiration for me to apply 😊

I love your channel. Although I’m not a student. I watch your channel as some of the tips you provide can still be implemented in everyday life for me.

I remember watching your Harvard vlog first when I discovered you and I'm glad you made another, very interesting to see your way to organise and to motivate yourself.

Those pros and cons in the end

1:23 that perfection though!!!!

That moment when you find yourself watching someone working when you know you're supposed to be doing work yourself.

This was awesome. I got my masters in psychology from Otago (New Zealand) just recently, and I would've died if someone like Steven Pinker lectured or held office hours. Such a privilige, and good on you for trying to absorb as much from him as you can.

you are planning every hour of the day..impressive.. i don't even have "a pla" for tomorrow.

This was a great video. Thanks John. I don't know why but you do really motivate me 😃. 😮 Thanks for hearting my comment 😄.

Hello John, I have to say I enjoy your videos very much. I look forward and love watching especially your day of the life videos. I too am a University student, definitely not Harvard but watching how you go about your day motivates me to be better as a student and even personal growth. After watching your videos, I have been inspired to plan out my day, set goals, and reward myself when I achieve them. As well as making lists, tips and tricks for studying, and to stay in the right mind set. I look forward to more videos from you!

Thanks bro you are able to inspire people to fulfill their goals in a day and be happy

Hey, John, I'm a recent subscriber and I'm loving it here! Anyways, I'm a Computer Science student, sophomore as well, although in Serbia. I was wondering, why don't you give us at least a bit of insight in what you're actually studying and working on, rather that where are you going all day? I am really curious about what do CS students in the US study, compared to Serbia. Have a good one!

Hi John, this is Braj from India. I Never miss your videos, you really really inspire me to grow and endure more. Even I made a resolution to complete 2 books a Month! Hope your MRI results were good!! Thanks for making these videos! It's really helps me grow..!! Take care!!

These videos are doing so much for me as a student, just figuring out small things that help me keep up and such. Awesome channel

One of my favorite UKposts channel. Gets to see the real practical life of this guy.

I just woke up from a 4 hour long nap

I really enjoyed this video! So energetic and refreshing

Raise your hand if you never used ur planner in high school 🤚

I love your videos 😁 hope you continue making those because they are amazing and motivating!!

Steven Pinker actually came to my school! He gave his lecture about progress, and proved how world has improved in many facets despite the medias negative tone. I also thought it was pretty neat. U may find this cool: I actually took notes on the lecture in my field notes book(which u reccomended awhile back).

You uploaded just as I was rewatching your day in the life of a Harvard CS student 😁

My favourite video of yours so far! Love this!

YES the second edition we've all been waiting for

Hey John just wanted to give u a suggestion that release this type of videos more frequently like once in 3 months or so....and keep up the good work

You are an inspiration to me. I'm a sophomore in high school who recently discovered your videos and instantly subscribed. Whenever things are not going well academically at school, I come home and watch your videos and I feel motivated again. Any thoughts on applying to MIT? (Only if you know, if you don't then that's totally fine).

This is a really nice video! Keep it up~ Btw I really like the BGM you used it's really soothing, makes me think it's actually not that packed-up a day thou it kinda was lol. Thanks for the sharing!

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!!!!!

I never wanted to study soo bad in my life.Thanks John!!

Me: What about free time John: SORRYY THATS NOT IN MY VOCABULARYYYYYYYY

i bought the notebook and I am so pleased thank you John for making these videos. You really inpire me.

Hi John. I love this day in the life vlog format. Please do more of this.

music choice is always on point

What a shock Harvard gym is empty

I mean i REALLY enjoyed the vid, love the everyday things in a different environment. But like, WOW, Lizzy/lunch friend was a princess 👸🏼

I would literally loooooove to see "study with me" videos on your channel! You're so motivational!

Why dont you drop out of Harvard, get addicted to drugs, make some music, and get rich!

WOW it’s so unbelievable watching your VLOG. Anyway happy China Spring festival

This is so inspiring and motivating as always!!!! Keep up the hard work and keep inspiring us!!!! And I mean it.

Had fun waching this especially the part where u have ur own schedule for your day will start doing that thanks

Okay, this if my study motivation for my exams next week 😅

Nice to see you’re making coffee like we do in Italy 👍🏼😁

Just coming back to your videos after a year and you’ve changed a lot. 👍🏼

Thanks for making this video, was waiting for it :D

Not the first one. His voice sound different. Longer video plz

John knows the art of living..👌🏻

Hello John! I would like to say that this video literally helped me a lot to plan my daily schedule,, including both having a nice time with buddies, but at the same time not getting bothered that, this would reduce my study hours. So yaa! This video was of great help for me! Keep doing n uploading videos! I hope there will be something exciting in your next video! Looking forward to it 🙏❤🇮🇳

You have been a huge inspiration for me in the previous semester which ended up in very good gpa for me but apart from that I think my mindset also grow a lot, I made a lot of good decision from small to significant one thanks to your methods and advices. Keep up your good contents :D

The motivation part of your book is more motivating than when you read it. Most important part

God Bless you for telling temperature in Celsius!

hooooly shit i havent been on ur channel since your day in the life as a computer science student video and hearing your voice that deep was like whiplash

Love the edit on this ... gave a good vibe and flow of your day

Of course he’s wearing AirPods.

When you were about to say the weather and I was already bored by the fact I wasn't going to translate to Celsius, and then u say it in celsius. I'm really happy about it, don't know why hahaha

Haven't seen your videos in a bit. I have to say - your voice has deepened quite a lot!

You're so cool I love your videos! Thanks for all the information and the great content! Keep it up!!!

I thought Harvard students were the busiest people on planet but you have time to work out, read books and whole bunch of other stuff. I'm in 9th grade and I'm busy all the time. How do you manage to have "so much time"?

I have the same coffee maker thing you have. Harvard here I come!

I love this videos because you motivate me tons. Thanks John :)

Johns videos are highkey the best college videos out there !!
