It occurred to me that somehow I'd gotten through another Sunday, that mother was now buried and tomorrow I'd be going back to work as usual. Really nothing in my life had changed. All of us who are born into this world have one thing awaiting us for certain. It's that one day, no matter how smart, how rich, how popular we are, all of our lives will come to an end. The world does not stop. It'll keep moving whether we're here or not. The sun still rises and sets, the seasons come and go, everyone in the world, our friends, our family, and our loved ones will wake up the next day, go back to work, and keep on living. How does this make you feel? Some people find this truth very disturbing, making them feel very sad and even hopeless. This is called an existential crisis. For thousands of years, philosophers and writers have written about it, where they experience deep depression and sadness because of the pain they feel towards their existence. And some of us may be experiencing this today. So what can we do about this feeling? While taking long walks or breathing exercises can help reduce your anxiety, we believe that a shift in perspective is much more important when dealing with existential pain. So in this existential crisis series, we're going to look at the different ways that people have responded to their own experience of it. To do that, we want to examine three perspectives that people have used to deal with their existential pain. Starting with nihilism. Nihilism is a principle which rejects generally accepted beliefs of human existence like morality, values, and meaning. It is the belief that life is ultimately meaningless and that trying to find meaning is pointless. Some popular TV shows characters like Shinji Ikari, Tyler Darden, The Joker, Rick and Morty often display nihilistic behaviors. While nihilism is often portrayed in a negative light in most characters, there are some benefits to believing that life ultimately has no meaning. Because of this, people who are truly nihilistic are not afraid of what other people normally fear. It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. People who are truly nihilistic are free from the everyday expectations from society and others. They're not scared of how others perceive them, they're not scared to try new things, and they're certainly not scared of breaking traditions that most people feel obligated to follow. To live is to risk it all, otherwise you're just an inert chunk of randomly assembled molecules drifting wherever the universe blows you. Of course, there are some drawbacks to the belief that everything is ultimately pointless, especially when someone takes nihilism to extreme measures. Extreme nihilists can potentially make unpredictable and often destructive choices, regardless of the consequences. Their belief rejects everything that most people depend on, such as community, love, religion and law and order, which frees them from fear of making any type of decision. Extreme nihilists also believe they can do whatever they want, regardless of who might get hurt along the way. Their actions can be reckless, which often causes a lot of pain and harm to those around them, but sometimes even to themselves. Their belief that life is meaningless can drive them to push the definition of free will in a harsh, destructive pattern. In each of their worlds, Rick destroys several parallel universes whenever he deems it convenient. Tyler threatens and hurts other people for his pleasure. The Joker terrorizes Gotham City with his unpredictable nature. One of them are restricted by culture, religion or laws. Why? Let's be clear, all these characters and works of fiction are often exaggerated for entertainment. Not all nihilists behave like this, making one foolish choice after another, and while the belief that everything is meaningless can potentially be dangerous, it can also free you from the fear of trying new things or taking risks that would otherwise scare you. Just to tell you to go ask out that crush, travel the world or go do the thing you always wanted to do. Why be afraid to try new things if nothing matters in the end? Why be afraid of anything? So what about you? Would you consider yourself a nihilist? And what do you think of this video? Let us know in the comments below.

If there is someone here who seems to know many things that you right now do not know and do not understand, he becomes a mystic.    This is the most sophisticated machinery on the planet, this human mechanism. If this mechanism is made such a way that half the time it's in maintenance, you cannot call it the most sophisticated. What's really the purpose of life, if you can keep a little tired of that? To live totally means before you fall dead, every aspect of life has been explored. Nothing has been left unexplored. Even if you do not explore the cosmos, at least this piece of life you must know it in its entirety, that much you must do to yourself, that's living totally.


In today's video, we're going to go over the best solo builds for every single type in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with the seven star Terrarid seemingly taking a break at the moment in the game. It seems like a good opportunity for us to have a collective of solo builds for every single type to make beating six star Terrarid super easy in the game. We're going to cover a total of 22 Pokemon in today's video. And yes, that's more than the 18 types that we've got in the game. But there are some tricky raids that you can come up against in particular things like Covenite, Annihilator, Amungus and Donduzzo. So we're going to cover some extra builds to kind of make sure that you've got coverage for those. So when you're going into farm six star Terrarid in your game, it's going to be easy for farming Herbomistica, the level of Candies or any other item that you're going to get from six star Terrarid. Now, each of these builds is going to have a set criteria. Each of them is going to have the ability to debuff the raid boss as well as set up their own stats to maximize the damage that you're going to be able to do and speed the whole process of making this a really easy process to beating the six star Terrarid, which can be quite difficult at times. And throughout the guide, I'm going to go through the exact details of how each moveset will function as well as talk you through the EV spreads, as well as all of the details, the items and everything like that. All of the details, though, will be linked down in the description below. Every single build that we feature in today's video will be linked in a poker paste so you can go into that in a bit more detail and have a look at that if you want to after reviewing the video, as well as everything will be chaptered down below. So if you want to jump to a specific type, you can do that in the play bar, which will make it a lot easier for finding specific things that you need for six star Terrarid. Like I said, we've got 18 Pokemon that are going to cover every single one of the 18 types that we've got in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. And we'll start with one of the best builds for water type Pokemon. It's a very solid build, this one, and it is featuring Vaporeon. Of course, it is a water type. We have that water terra typing. The item of choice here is the shellbar item because we do need a line of recovery with Vaporeon, and that's quite an important thing. You'll see a common trend throughout this video today. We do need a line of recovery. It means that you're going to be able to set up, debuff the raid boss and stay on the field for a lot longer. So that is a really important thing, of course, as well. The more you get knocked out, the more chips down at that raid timer, which kind of makes it very difficult sometimes to kind of complete the raid. So every single Pokemon that we do feature as well is going to be level 100. So I won't have to repeat myself, but level 100 is the kind of standard for your raid build. So you want to make sure that you level up your Pokemon to that point. Water type, water terra typing on this one. Shellbell is the item. We have the moveset of acid armor, calm mind, fake tears, surf and an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 Special Attack. You can cater your EV spreads to be specifically in one defensive stat. But because you'll be taking on a variety of different special and physical attackers, it's best just to put that EV investment into the HP. So it kind of gives you the best coverage when you're going up against these raid bosses, and we have a modest nature as well. Just to maximize that damage output from the Vaporeon, because it is primarily a special attacker. The basic premise of this moveset is going to be trying to get your acid armor off, maybe just one acid armor. If you are going up against a strong physical attacker, turn one, then go for your three fake tears. Fake tears is going to lower the special defense on the target Pokemon by two stages every time you do that. So you want to maximize that, get it down to minus six. Then get about two to three Carmines up and then start attacking the Terraria boss. Now you're all going to have situations where you come across raid bosses where they do nullify their stack drops on their side of the field. And if the shield is up, fake tears is not going to be able to work through the shield. So just bear that in mind. But then you can rely a little bit more on your Carmines. Just maximize your stats. It is going to boost your special attack and special defense by one stage every time you use it. So just rely on that while the shield is up. Once the shield is broke, you can then revert back to going for those fake tears and then just use surf as your primary attacking move. But a very reliable Pokemon, very good defensively. I'm going to have a nice damage output as well when it's combined with that fake tears and the combined boosting from the Vaporeon. So this is my choice. Water type raid boss solo builds in the game. Next up is a familiar face. It is Appleton. We have seen it recently used against the Chestnut seven star turret event, and it did an incredible job against that. It is a grass and dragon type and we have the grass terror typing on there with the expert belt as the item, because we do have a line of recovery with one of its move options so we can kind of free up that item slot on here and just maximize our damage a little bit more with that expert belt. Again, level 100 with a move set of Sunny Day, Apple Acid, Growth and Gigadrin. We have an EV spread on this one of 252 special attack. And I would advise you to go for 252 HP, but you can, like we've mentioned before, maximize one of those defensive stats if you prefer to, if it helps you against specific raid bosses. We've got the ability ripe in here, but it doesn't really matter too much with the Appleton because we're not really relying too much on the ability in this one. So the basic premise is to go for those Apple Acids as soon as possible, you are going to be reducing the special defense on the target Pokemon on that raid boss by one stage every time you use it. So you're going to want to use six of those in total. The nice thing about Apple Acid is it works through the shield as well. So if that shield does go up, you can still reduce that special defensive stat on the raid boss by one stage every time you use it and then alternatively to boost yourself up, set your sunny day up and then rely on growth. Now growth will give you an attack boost and a special attack boost every time you use it. But if the sun is on the field, you get plus two rather than plus one, so cuts down the amount of turns that you're going to need to use it, meaning that you can boost your special attack up to plus six and then reduce the special defense on the target Pokemon with Apple Acid by minus six and then just fire out those Gigadrians, which is going to do huge damage and also at the same time, it's going to give you a line of recovery so you can stay on the field once you have kind of got that set up in motion. So that is the Appleton and your Grass type. The next one is going to be our fire type and for this one I'm picking armor rouge. So armor rouge, a fire and psychic type with the fire terror typing, of course, Shellbell is the item choice level 100 and we have the move set of clear smog, calm mind, acid spray and flamethrower.  If you're worried about that at all and then an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 special attack with a modest nature to maximize that special attacking output. So the basic premise of this one is going to be two acid spray that reduces the special defense on the target Pokemon by two stages every time you use it. Bear in mind, it won't work against steel types because it is a poison type attack. So if you're coming against steel terror type Pokemon, you can't really rely on the acid spray too much. You'll have to rely on that calm mind, which then boost your special attack and special defense by one stage every time you use it. But in combination, it's going to be a potent strategy for taking down terror raid bosses. The clear smog on there can be changed for something else, but I do like the ability to remove the stat boosts on the raid boss if they are using calm mind themselves or if they're using anything to boost their stats, which might maximize their damage. You can just remove those stats and that does work through the shield as well. And then you've got flamethrower. Once you are set up, you've used those three acid sprays to minimize the special defense on the target Pokemon. You've used about three to four calm minds yourself to maximize your special attack.  And once you thrash slides, you're going to be able to maximize that damage completely and have no trouble against a lot of terror raid bosses that are going to be weak to fire type attacks. Next up is our ice type for this video. And yes, I could have went with something like ice rider calyrex, but not everyone has access to those legendaries from sword and shield or other legendaries that we're now able to trade in from Pokemon home. So a nice reliable one that you can get in the game right now is going to be Glacian, a really good pick as well. Very good defensively has that ice terror typing. Of course, we've got the shell bell on it as usual for a line of recovery. So we can just keep on the field for as long as possible, level 100 with a move set of snowscape, calm mind, fake tears and blizzard with an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 special attack with that snarl clock ability and a modest nature. Basic premise of this move set is going to be to get those fake tears off as soon as possible. That's kind of the primary thing, reduce the special defense on the target Pokemon on that raid boss by two stages. So get three of those off, then start calm minding. Once you've kind of got your setup going, then launch your snowscape.  You've got a freeze chance on there as well. And once you've got that kind of combination setup between the fake tears and the calm mind, you're going to be doing ridiculous amounts of damage, which is always very good. And on top of that, once you can terastalize with the Glacian, you're going to be doing really good damage to any of those ice weak Pokemon, a really favorite Pokemon of mine. And I think a nice build to go in with if you're wanting an ice type to take into raid bosses. Next up is going to be a rock coverage and it is going to be Iron Thorns, a big pick here because it has got the ability to lower debuff the defensive stats on the raid boss, as well as boost its own, which very few rock types in the game actually have access to. So we've got the rock and electric typing, which Iron Thorns is. Terra typing is going to be rock, Shellbell the item and level 100. And the move set is going to be electric terrain, screech, sword stance, and rock slide. So an EV spread on this one of 252 HP, 252 attack with an adamant nature, and we have that quark drive ability as well. So the electric terrain works quite nicely too, not only activate the quark drive, it gives you an attack boost, but it also gives you that protection against sleep moves. So things that have yawn, things that have spore are going to be really handy to get around with that electric terrain. As long as the electric terrains on the field, you're not going to be susceptible to getting put to sleep, which is really good. To start off with, you're going to want to go for those screeches. It's going to allow the defensive stat on the target Pokemon by two stages every time you use it. So you want to use it three times, then use three swords dances.  And after you try slides, you're going to be ripping through anything rock week in these raid bosses. So a really nice build I think as well, and has everything that you kind of want in a solo build going into these raid bosses. Next up is a ground type, and it is going to be Ursuluna, and it is a ground and normal type. We have the ground typing on it as it's terra typing. We've given the item flame orb, but you can interchange this for a shell bell as well if you want a line of recovery because I feel like that's the one thing that you do miss sometimes with Ursuluna, especially with this set that we've got that we are running level 100. It is got an adamant nature, 252 HP, 252 attacking EVs, and then with that gut ability as well, which plays off the flame orb in particular. It is going to give you an attack boost and immunity to any status conditions once that flame orb activates, and the gut boost kind of plays along with that as well. So the move set that we've got is belly drum, layer, drain punch, and headlong rush.  It will cut your HP in half. So the next turn is probably advisable to go for something like a drain punch, try and get some health back, and then you can utilize the layer. It's going to reduce the defensive stat on the toggle Pokemon by one stage every time you use it, and then you've got headlong rush, which is going to be your big ground type stab going into these red bosses, which you're going to pretty heavily rely on. But like I've said, an adamant nature, 252 HP, 252 attack, and then the flame orb as the item on the Ursuluna with that ground terra typing. Next up is a familiar face, and it's going to be our psychic type, and it is going to be slow, bro. Probably one of the more reliable Pokemon that you've got access to in the games. We do have level 100. You can change the item here, can be expert belt, can be life orb, can be shell belt, even if you would like it to be. But left overs is a really reliable option as well, just to give you that recovery every turn while you are setting the slow bro up. It is going to have that psychic terra typing and a move set of slack off, iron defense, nasty plot, and stored power. Now you can change iron defense out from Nizia. It is another move that it does get access to. So if you're more preferably going into a raid that's a special attacker, then change iron defense for amnesia, and vice versa, if you're going up against a strong physical attacker, then you can use iron defense over amnesia to boost the defense stat rather than special defensive stat. Slack off gives you a line of recovery. So while you're setting up, if you are low health, you can use that when required. But the basic premise is to use that iron defense three times, boost, maximize your attacking stat, or if it's amnesia, maximize your special defensive stat, then go for those nasty plots, which is going to boost your special attack by two stages every time you use it, and then utilize stored power. And stored power works off the amount of boosts that you've got, the stronger that attack becomes.  You're not really going to be taking much damage from the Terraried Boss at all. We've got an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 special attack with a modest nature, and we have the on-tempo ability here. The ability can be interchanged. It doesn't really make too much difference on the slow bro, but a very nice build nonetheless, and a solid, solid psyche type for you to go in and beat six-star Terrarieds with pretty easily in your game. Next up is our electric type, and it is going to be one of the box legendaries from Scarlet and Violet, and it is going to be Mariah Dawn, and it is the electric and dragon type Pokemon with the electric Terraried type. I'm going to have the Shell Belt item on here, but you can go with something like Expert Belt as well, because we do have a line of recovery or an option for line of recovery in this. Level 100, as always, and a move set of electric terrain, mental sound, charge, and electric drift. Now, I do say that you can change the item Shell Belt to an Expert Belt or something like that, but you're going to have to go with parabolic charge over the electric drift. So this is why we've got the Shell Belt on this specific build. We have got the EV spread of 252 HP, 252 special attack, and a modest nature. Basic premise of this set is going to be when you come onto the field with a hidden engine, you're going to have that electric terrain set up. The electric terrain option there is if the electric terrain does run out and you want to reset it up, especially because it does, like we've already mentioned, give you nice immunity against spores, things like sleep powder spore, yawn, and things like that that can make these raids quite annoying if you don't have a way to get around those. So just being able to set that up again throughout the battle once it does fade from the field after five turns is a really nice option to have.  It reduces the special defense on the target Pokemon by two stages every time you use it.  The nice thing about electric terrain, it doesn't only give you immunity to sleep moves, but it also boosts the power of your electric type attacks as well. So electric drift is going to be doing some big damage as well with that Shell Belt item that it's holding. It's going to give you nice line of recovery every time you do some big damage to those raid bosses. So a really nice option all together and a very strong option if you've got one in your game to take in against electric weak Pokemon. And our bug type choice for this video is going to be low takes. I really like this, and it does fall into that criteria where it's got a good option to reduce or debuff the stats on the Terraried Boss as well as boost its own stats as well. It's got a unique typing, obviously bug and dark, but the terror typing we've opted for for that bug typing is bug. Shell Belt is the item of choice, of course we've mentioned for that line of recovery, level 100, and we have the moveset of taunt, screech, sword stance, and leech life. Now you can go with something like the expert belt here if you prefer to, but it does maximise that health recovery alongside leech life, which does restore 50% of the damage that you do. So if you want to maximise damage here, then be my guest to switch on something like an expert belt or a life orb if you prefer to. Shell Belt is just a bit more reliable in this scenario. So the moveset, basic premise of this one is gonna be taunt, shuts down the opposing raid boss setting up, being disruptive with any kind of statless moves or anything like that, and then you go for those three screeches.  And then the EV spread that we've got on this one is gonna be 252 HP, 252 attack with an adamant nature and the ability swarm as well, because none of the other abilities really make too much difference on the low ticks, but really nice choice. Nonetheless, if you need a specific bug type to go in against these terrarium bosses or anything that's particularly weak to bug, it gives you a nice option to go in against these terrarium bosses with and make pretty easy work of them with low ticks. And it will surprise you how good and effective it can be if you do do this build in your game. And you probably guessed the ghost type that we're gonna include in this video. Of course, it is gonna be annihilate. It is one of the best raid solo builds that you can have in the game for a multitude of different Pokemon that you're gonna come up against. But of course, as a ghost herotype, it is gonna be one of the best things that you can pick in the game. We've got the shell bell as the item, ghost herotyping on their level 100, move set of drain punch, bulk up, screech, and rage fist. We have the defiant ability on this one. Of course, if you are having problems against things that have spore, yawn, you can go for something like vital spirit on it as well. And that will just give you a way around the sleep status condition, which we like we keep mentioning is pretty annoying, but defiant's pretty nice. If they try and reduce any of the stats on your side of the field, then that defiant ability will proc, meaning your attacks that will get boosted two stages every time you take a stat drop. So it's a really nice ability to kind of expedite the damage output that you can do with an Islay. Basic premise of the move set is gonna be to screech three times, reduce that defense on the target Pokemon, bulk up two to three times, and then utilize rage fist. The nice thing about rage fist as well is the power of it increases by 50 base power every time you take an attack and that kind of accumulates throughout the battle. And if you faint, those buffs to rage fist don't get deleted.  We've got the EV spread of 252 HP, 252 attack with an adamant nature, but pretty straightforward with the Anilip and drain punch there is an option. If you want for recovery as well, after you've got set up with the screech and the bulk up combination outside of rage fist, but between rage fist and drain punch, it gives you pretty good coverage against most things that you're gonna come up against in the game. Now the Pokemon that we're gonna choose for our dark type is gonna be Miao Scarod. I really like this Pokemon a lot, grass and dark typing. Obviously we've got the dark terror typing on their shell belt as the item for that line of recovery, level 100 and the move set of skill swap.  Whereas if the skill swap, you can take those away so you can reduce those defense stats and not have to worry about kind of the consequences of doing that. But like I say, that can be changed out for something like taunt if you prefer, but the basic premise is gonna be fake tears that's reducing the special defense on the target Pokemon by two stages every time you use it. Then you will move on to using your nasty plot to maximize your special attack by two stages every time you use it.  Overgrow as the ability on here. You could go for that protein, but the fact is you probably won't overgrow because you're gonna be skill swapping it away. So it doesn't really matter if you're skill swapping overgrow onto the target Pokemon. We've got an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 special attack and a modest nature on the Meow's Garada. But a very nice option for dark type attackers as a solo build in these games. A steel type of choice for this video is gonna be Bronzong, a great Pokemon, steel and psychic typing, steel terror typing, level 100 with that shell bell item. Move set is gonna be skill swap. Again, a really good utility move just to be able to remove those annoying abilities from target Pokemon. Then we've got Calm Mind, Metal Sound and Flash Cannon. Now Metal Sound we have covered on Maraidon does reduce the special defense by two stages on the raid boss every time you use it. Then you combine that with that Calm Mind. And after you've got about two to three of those off, remember you can use six Calm Minds if you have time to do so, but then you just fire off those Flash Cannons when you have got set up. We have got that levitate ability. So keep that in mind as well. If you're gonna begin steel weak terror types in these raid dens, but maybe they have a ground typing attack, the levitate is gonna be really good against those particular Pokemon because their ground stabs aren't really gonna be able to touch you at all. Just don't utilize the skill swap and those matches. We've got an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 Special Attack. Bronze aren't very good defensively so you don't really need to worry about that defensive investment too much. Just maximizing this special attack will help out once you've got those Calm Minds off and those Metal Sounds off during the battle. And a poison Pokemon for this video is gonna be Gengar. So Ghost and Poison type, one of my favorite Pokemon as well. Poison terror typing Shellbell, four line of recovery, level 100 and the move set of Taunt, Nasty Plot, Acid Spray and Sludge Bomb. EV spread of 252 HP, 252 Special Attack with the Modest Nature and Cursed Bolly ability. So the basic premise is again, turn one Taunt, shut down any options for setup or status conditions from the raid boss. Then go for those Acid Sprayers every turn. Remember, Acid Spray will work through the shield reducing the special defense on the Toggle Pokemon by two stages every time you use it.   And even though, you know, Gengar is normally quite a frail Pokemon, you're gonna be surprised at how well it can take on some of these six star terror raid bosses. It is able to take a decent amount of attacks. Obviously not as well as some other things, but with 252 HP, 252 Special Attack and a Modest Nature, it does a very good job and a great option as a poison type attacker. That's got all of those things that you want, reducing debuffing stats on the opposing target as well as being able to set up pretty quickly on your end as well. The flying type that we've chosen for this video is gonna be Corviknight. It is a flying and steel type Pokemon. We've got the flying terror type on there. Shellbell is the item of choice. But again, you can choose something like the Expert Bell because we do have a line of recovery on the Corviknight and again, a level 100 as well. We've got the move set of Roost. This is what I was talking about with the line of recovery. So if you wanna go for a bit more damage, then opt for the Expert Bell on here as the item choice. Then we've got Screech, Bulk Up and Drill Peck as the main attacking option for its flying stab attack. We've got the Mirror Armor ability as well. So that's gonna block any stat drops on your side of the field. Really nice ability and kind of bounce them back onto the target Pokemon as well. We've got an Eevee spread of 252 HP, 252 attack and an Adamant Nature. Basic premise again is gonna be just go for those Screeches three times if you can get those off. Remember, Screech won't work through the shield.  Then get three to four Bulk Ups off and then just start launching your Drill Pecks and use Roost as in when you need to recover health throughout the raid battle. But Corviknight, a really solid pick and a nice option as a flying type stab for those flying weak Pokemon that you're gonna come up against. Dragon type choice is gonna be Corridon. We've covered Moraidon as our electric type choice. Corridon is gonna be our dragon type choice. Got the Shellbell as that line of recovery. Level 100 of course and the Dragon Terror type. Swordstand, Screech, Dragonclaw and Drain Punch. With an Eevee spread of 252 HP, 252 attack preferably with an Adamant Nature. This one might look a little bit different because it has got 252 in defense but that was built specifically for other raids and you can do this. This is something to remember. You can put the defensive Eevees into one of those specific stats if you'd like to but because it gives you such good coverage on doesn't matter the special or physical attack as HP is more preferable as you're going up against a wide range of different types that are gonna be Dragon weak out in the field. But like I say, 252 HP, 252 attack and the basic premise of this, like a lot of the other ones is gonna be going for that Screech as soon as possible. Then go for those Swordstands. That's gonna boost your attack stat by two stages every time you use it. You've got Drain Punch as an extra line of recovery if you need to and then Dragonclaw gonna be your main option of attack with the Corridon and a really nice option as well for a Dragon type if you need one going into these Terror bosses. Next up is our Fairy Choice and of course it is gonna be Izumaril, a great raid Pokemon, very good defensively and has some nice options to set up as well as debuff the opposing Terror boss. Shellbell is the item of choice on here. You can go Citrus Berry if you would prefer. Terror typing is of course Fairy, level 100 with a move set of Misty Terrain, Bellydrum, Tickle and Play Rough. Now I will just point out Tickle is an egg move. So if you need Tickle on your Izumaril as well as that Bellydrum you're gonna have to find Pokemon with these moves already in your boxes and then just give the Mirror Herb item to your Izumaril. Make sure you've removed two moves that it's already learned. You can just use it for get moves and then set up a picnic with the Pokemon that have Bellydrum, Tickle. Izumaril holding the Mirror Herb item and then it will just transfer those moves across to it. So it is a really easy process and you don't need to breed a whole new one with these egg moves. You just need to just use the Mirror Herb to get around that. The EV spread that we've got for this one is 252 HP, 252 Attack with an Adam and Nature. The huge part is the ability. So important that you have that. It doubles the Attack stat on the Izumaril with that huge power, just making sure that you can do a lot more damage.  It's gonna maximize your Attack stat by six. So maximizing it completely, it will cut your HP down by half. So the next thing you probably want to go for a play rough to utilize that Shell Bell, which will give you all of your HP back after the damage from a maximized Attack. And then you can utilize Tickle as and when you need to. Tickle reduces the Attack and the defensive stat on the Toggle Pokemon by one stage every time you use it. A really useful option to use as well in conjunction with the Bellydrum and then the play rough is gonna be your main attacking option that's gonna take advantage of that fairy typing on the Azumarill, especially after you terastalize. If you've got everything set up perfectly, you're gonna be knocking things out pretty quickly with the Azumarill and a really good option for a fairy type going into these Terrarid bosses. And yes, we haven't duplicated anything. We are covering a fighting type going in here. We've covered the ghost typing, but an eyelid is back because it is just so good at being a solo Pokemon for these raid bosses. And yes, it is gonna be our fighting type choice as well. Of course, a different build, pretty similar though. We've got black belt item on there that is gonna boost your fighting type attacks. Can be the expert belt life orb as well. And the move set is gonna be rage fist, screech, bulk up and drain punch, pretty similar to the one that we've already covered, but the ghost terra typing, this one of course has that fighting terra typing on it. And an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 attack with an Adam and Nature. Again, with that defiant ability, and it goes without saying the same things that we talked about in the ghost terra typing and eyelid can be adapted to this one. If you want vital spirit to get around anything that can put you to sleep or stuff like that, then vital spirit is the optimal choice here, but defiant always a very good ability just to expedite that attack stat. Again, you're gonna go for those screeches, turn one to three, then those bulk ups, turn four to six, and then just launch your drain punches off, which is gonna give you that health recovery as well as doing some big damage to the opposing target as well. We've covered the EV spread and the nature, but that is the annihilator in a nutshell, but just with that fighting terra type rather than the ghost terra typing. Now I did mention earlier on in the video, I was gonna cover all of the 18 typings that we have covered. I haven't covered the normal typing yet, we'll get to that in a moment, but as well as that, you do get some six star terror raid bosses that are pretty awkward to come up against. One of them in particular is Corviknight. It has a mirror armor ability, so you can't really debuff it stats, and that makes it a bit of a problem. As well as that, it does normally carry things like bulk up as well, so it can get our home claws, so it can get pretty powerful really quickly and start doing some big damage to you while you're not really able to get the kind of damage that you want onto it.  I feel like Bronzong is gonna resist all of its big attack and moves. Body press, it's Brave Birds, anything like that. You're gonna be able to resist with the Steel and Psychic typing. Now, we've got two Bronzongs, the other one we have featured, so if you're going up against the Corviknight that can be hit neutrally from a Steel type attacks, then you use the one that we've already covered, but if you're coming up against a one that's maybe a Water type Corviknight as well, that could be a little bit trickier, then rely on the Psychic one, because between the Psychic Terror type and the Steel Terror type Bronzongs that we feature in this video, no Corviknight's gonna be really too difficult for you to beat. We've got the Shell Belt item on it, it's a line of recovery as always, level 100, and then the Psychic Terror type on this one, Steel type on the other one. Now, this one's gonna differ slightly from the other Bronzong that we featured, but against that specific Corviknight, we've got 252 HP, 252 Special Attack with a modest nature. The whole premise of going up against a Corviknight is to steal that Mirror Armor ability turn one, so you want a skill swap turn one before the shield goes up. If the shield is up, you can't use skill swap, so it's really important that you kind of stay healthy and you don't faint, so you can keep that Mirror Armor ability, right? But the Mirror Armor, as soon as you stall it off the Corviknight with the skill swap, it's not gonna get it back for the remainder of the battle, making it a lot easier to go up against. Then you can go for those Iron Defenses, then you can go for those Calm Minds, and then you can launch those Stored Powers, which is gonna do a huge amount of damage to the Corviknight after that. And the similar thing works with the other Bronzong as well that we featured in the video, where you're gonna be able to just go for that turn one skill swap, steal that Mirror Armor, then go for the Metal Sounds onto the Corviknight, not need to worry about the Mirror Armor ability kind of preventing these drops, then you can go for your Calm Minds and then launch off the Flash Cannon. So it just depends on the terra typing of the Corviknight, but between these two Bronzongs, you're gonna have no trouble against them at all. The other Pokemon that we do have sometimes issues with is Annihilip. Now, for this one, we're going up with Wigglytuff, because it do feel like Wigglytuff depending on the terra typing of the Annihilip. Wigglytuff a really nice option if it is an Annihilip with the terra typing. They can be either mutually with Fairy Type attacks or super effectively with Fairy Type attacks. So we've got the Expert Belt item on this Wigglytuff, but the main thing that we're gonna be looking at for is that skill swap, because we wanna be taking away that Defined ability on the Annihilip. So that's what we would do turn one. You can change your Drain and Kiss to Dazzling Gleam, but the Drain and Kiss, if you do change it to Dazzling Gleam, I would replace the Expert Belt with the Shell Belt item, but you're gonna want to, after you've skill swapped away the Defined ability on the Annihilip, go for those fake tiers, reduce that Special Defensive stat down by minus six after three of those, then go for your Calm Minds, set yourself up so you're boosting your Special Attack on the Wigglytuff, and then you can go for either those Dazzling Gleams or the Drain and Kisses. The Drain and Kiss is gonna give you recovery every time you use it. So it's a really nice option against Annihilip with an EV spread here of 252 HP, 252 Special Attack with a modest nature, and it's just an alternate of option if you do come across Annihilip, and it is sometimes one of the more tricky six-star Terorates to come up against, because it is generally quite bulky, and it having that Defined ability with the coverage of Rage Fist as well, which is gonna get more powerful every time you do attack into Annihilip, and also the big fighting type attacks that can be a bit of an issue as well on there. Fairy Terotyping on this Wigglytuff, but like I say, the principles of taking away the Defined with the skill swap and then being able to kind of play off debuffing its stats while boosting your own is gonna be something that you're gonna try and do to the Annihilip to make that specific six-star Terorate a lot easier to deal with. And the other two Pokemon that we did mention at the start of the video were Mungus and also Don Dozo. Now, Mungus is really annoying for the fact that it has Spore, right? And it also has access to File Play, which can be really annoying to deal with it, especially if you are boosting your own attacking stat. File Play plays off your attacking stat rather than the opposing Pokemon that's using it. So if you're using a Pokemon like Harayama and you have something Bellydrum, then the File Play is coming off a attack stat so it's a maximized potential. So, you know, it's gonna be doing a lot of damage. The other thing that's annoying about Mungus is that it's got Spore, so you really wanna be taunting it or you can play off the fact that you can utilise something with Electric Terrain, Misty Terrain, or you can use a Pokemon with the guts ability with the Flame Orb or Toxic Orb if you want so you're not affected by any statless conditions, which makes it a lot easier to deal with. And the other thing to mention as well, you can utilise the Safety Goggles item as well. So that is something that you can utilise on any one of your Pokemon against a Mungus that will make it a lot easier to deal with but try and use more special attackers than those physical attackers because of the File Play. Now the Dondozo, I feel like there are two particular builds that can do really well against Dondozo. Dondozo does have your own, so that's something that you wanna have to have consideration against, but I feel like Harriyama is a great Pokemon to go up against Dondozo. You've got the Sunny Day to weaken the wave crashes coming out from it. It will try and set a brain down so you can nullify that with your own Sunny Day. You've got Bellydrum to maximise your attacking stat and you have the Flame Orb, which is gonna make it not able to yawn you.  It does get other coverage, so you can go for those if it's more preferable in that slot, but the basic premise is gonna be turn one Bellydrum, then go for your Sunny Day to weaken those wave crashes and then just fire off the attacks that are more preferable in that situation. There's a EV spread of 252 HP, 252 attack with an Admin nature and just make sure you have that gut's ability when you are attaching that Flame Orb, bit like the Oceluna as well that we've already covered and another good Pokemon that's gonna be good against Ondorzo that I found really effective against it is gonna be Ironhands. I had to squeeze this Pokemon in here somewhere. Fighting and Electric Typing, we've got Fighting, Terra Typing on this. Citrus Berry is the option for held item, although you can change that for something like Shellbell if you prefer and the move set of Electric Terrain Bellydrum, Thunder Punch and Drain Punch. EV spread of 252 HP, 252 attack with an Admin nature. We have that Cork Drive ability. Now, the reason why this is quite good against Ondorzo is because you have that Electric Terrain so you don't need to worry about the yawns. I think the yawn is probably the biggest threat from Ondorzo, in my opinion, because it slows you down, it prevents you being able to kind of consistently get good damage onto the field, especially if you're hitting those Drain Punches for a recovery or anything like that and the yawns really disrupt your kind of flaw in game but with the Electric Terrain up, if you set that up to turn one, then you're gonna be immune to yawn. It might be preferable to go for Bellydrum turn one, get that maximiser stat, then set your Electric Terrain up so you're not susceptible to being put to sleep and then fire off your attacking options, Drain Punch, Thunder Punch until you can terastalize and then just cut through. The Ondorzo pretty easily like that but that is the 22 builds that we are featuring today. The only one that we haven't covered yet is obviously Arcus. We covered a whole video on Arcus already on the channel but in case you missed that and if you need a normal type, the reason why we're not really covering normal types on the channel is because normal doesn't hit anything for super effective damage so you don't really need a normal type ever but Arcus has the ability to be any type with any one of the 17 plates that you can get access to in the game. If you wanna check out that video on Arcus, then you can, I'll link it up in the top right hand corner for you here but Arcus is gonna be a normal type. It's probably one of the best ones that you can get as well as one of the best options for pretty much most types in the game so the reason for this video was I could have yes just done Arcus as the best type for all of these but not everyone has access to this exclusive Pokemon from Pokemon Legends RCS or BDSP. You've got some players that are brand new to Scarlet and Violet and don't have access to these older Pokemon yet so these selection of builds give you coverage for everything that you're gonna need to come up against Instincts or Terrors but if you do have an Arcus, just give you an extra kind of help and hand in situations where you might not wanna bring some of the other options and you can just change the plate, the item on it to change it's typing. The move set of course is gonna be recover, calm mind, access, spirit and judgment, 252 HP, 252 special attack, modest nature with the ability multi-type which changes its type depending on the plate that it's holding but if you just want that normal type then you can just hold the shell bell for a nice line of recovery but that is everything that we're gonna cover in today's video and a haul that you've found these builds useful but with all of them together if you build them in your game you're gonna have perfect coverage against any Terra type that you're gonna come up against the specifically those six star Terra raid bosses that can be a little bit problematic at times and it's gonna make grinding for Herbomistica, level up candies and everything else that you get from these higher star rated Terra raids a lot easier in your game. So thank you so much for tuning in friends have a great rest of your day. I hope like I've said this is a useful guide for you but it's a collective altogether every single Pokemon that I feel covers every type is in one place and it's something that you can refer back to if you find it's gonna be useful for friends that you've got that like Terra raids and soloing in game then share this video with them it really will help the video out. Do drop a like if it has been useful subscribe to the channel so you stay up to date with all of our Pokemon scholar and violet content and I will see you all in another video very soon so until then friends take care of yourselves and bye bye.


Hey guys, we're here at the Air Venturi booth shot show 2018. This is the double shot. All right Why do they call it the double shot? two barrels of ultimate badassery right here This is of course first and foremost an air shotgun basically you can call this the big brother of the wing shot if you want to I am just calling it awesome. We have an air distributor system here This is going to allow you to quickly flip between the left and the right barrel It is absolutely fantastic.  They did let me play around with this before we came out to shot This is of course like one of two prototypes right now But guys, this is super awesome 18 inch pattern at 20 yards with both barrels And you're able to put four of these, you know one after the other with one reload in between Into about a three inch group at 35 yards. This thing is going to be a hunter's dream You got a quick follow-up shot with these air bolts. What more could you ask for guys? So really cool? Brand new. This is gonna be under the Seneca line the double shot one. You're gonna want to check out in 2018 All right guys, we are back at the air venturi booth This is a cool little rifle that caught my eye here at the booth. They're calling this the TR5 now This guy is a youth target rifle very reminiscent of the IZH 61 that we can no longer get here in the state So you got a five round repeating system. Of course, this is a spring piston side lever gun You can see that side lever right here You simply lift up on it and go to the side and you're able to go ahead pull that back And you can actually you just saw that index right there So this is all gonna work really really simply and smoothly for those junior shooters out there You got a rail underneath for mounting a sling accessory and of course we're gonna put target sights on this So I would imagine you're gonna probably see some sort of aperture sights, you know Probably similar to what we used to see on that IZH model But some updates they made a little update to the design as far as I can see here You have a quick adjusting buttstock and it feels like it's got about six positions in it As well as an up and down adjustable butt pad here via this thumbscrew on the back So you loosen it you can actually move that rubber butt pad up and down This one's gonna be a great option to get the kids into some target shooting with or if you're just looking to Plink in the backyard probably gonna be a really really good choice and one to keep an eye on as the year goes forward Back at the air venturi booth guys these guys keep coming out with new products. It's crazy. This is the hellboy All right, this is in their hellraiser line. They're calling it.  You can see you got the flip open dust port there the ejection port Here's all the features this thing has packed in guys You have the fully adjustable six point buttstock here and it this castle nut actually can't come loose So it does seem like at least you can change out your buffer tube and your buttstock if you so choose We do have a selector switch over here on this side now You'll notice it does say auto. They are telling me this does not function in full auto only semi automatic Even when you do have it on that auto selector, but that's all right They're telling me they're hitting good targets with this thing You know a 12 by 12 target at out to 40 yards with BBs. All right, that's pretty awesome You got a drop-free mag that's gonna house 18 BBs and one co2 cartridge or same 50 to 60 shots Guys it looks like honestly you could replace all of these accessories with just about anything you want on here And for those of you that want a little bit more precision You can even unscrew this and you got a flat top rail on top This is actually really awesome if you're looking to do some action shooting or practice For what you're gonna be doing out in the field Maybe in three gun with your real AR the hell boys gonna be one to check out stay tuned Hey guys, we're back at shot show 2018 still at the airventury booth We are taking a look at the brand new Seneca dragonfly. This actually looks a lot like the Diana storm rider Except that it is a multi pump. All right, so check that out You're able to get eight pumps with this in one seven seven. You're looking at about 800 feet per second They're telling me and about 622 Coolest thing about this though multi pump multi shot you slide just like the storm rider You slide the single shot tray out and a magazine fits right in here nine rounds into one seven seven and seven in 22 same magazines as a storm rider.  It's got me a little mesmerized. So I apologize if I zone out These are the dust double BBs. This is the world's first and only Frangible BB frangible means it breaks apart when it hits a hard target guys That means you could shoot your steel targets your plinking stuff We got a gong target, you know on the website there You can shoot any of these hard targets and these BBs break apart. He's working almost every BB gun you got out there I think they don't work in the MP 40, which was I was really bummed to hear that But any of your single-stack magazine BB pistols or rifles these are gonna work great in they're a little bit lighter than your Traditional 5.1 grain steel BB.  So that's really cool 1500 counts probably gonna be around 10 bucks Guys, these are gonna make shooting BB guns a lot more fun We're gonna be using these quite a bit here on the insider in 2018. So stay tuned All right guys, so I was about to leave the air venturi booth And they told me they got a licensing deal with Springfield Armory Pretty cool. Actually the first pistol I ever bought real steel 9 millimeter pistol was an xdm And this is the exact replica of that gun. Now. This is an airsoft version They're also gonna have BB versions full blowback Drop-free mag guys.  This is awesome. This is going to make Training at home if you have a Springfield pistol, there's gonna be some 1911s out there as well Awesome stuff here guys. This is really gonna open it up I can't think of many brands now that aren't represented with an air gun replica Springfield Armory was one of the last ones That wasn't and air venturi is gonna take care of that for us But not only do they have pistols guys that are coming, but they're doing rifles too Harkening back to a little bit of an older time here. We have the M1 carbine replica This is actually this is full metal and if this is a wood stock I'm told there's gonna be a synthetic stock option available for a little bit less probably around 199 or so, but this wood stock option is definitely gonna be available. They're telling me this is a full blowback gun In the airsoft version co2 cartridge looks like a drop-free mag again here. Yep co2 right in the bottom So I've been expecting the BB versions probably gonna be very similar and of course the venerable M1a Now this is a springer airsoft version that they have here for show But they tell me they're working on a bunch of other versions which includes co2 as well So if you are an M1a fan and looking for something not only an airsoft But also in steel BB to replicate the feel maybe your real M1a or an M14 Definitely one to check out guys. This is a huge deal for the guys at air venturi Really cool looking forward to seeing what they put out in 2018 We're gonna check out the rest of the show now guys stay tuned here with the insider at shot show Hey guys, we're here at the umarex booth Obviously umarex did big big things in the PCP world in 2017 and in 2018. They are not going to disappoint the hammer is here guys Very very impressive changes and upgrades in my opinion to this gun here now. They're saying made in America I don't know what exactly all qualifies as made in America. That's not really the important part Let's talk about some of the performance specs. They're talking about here You have a 4500 psi carbon fiber cylinder on this gun, which is regulated at 3000 psi Gun has a two-round magazine in it and that's gonna give you you should be able to get two to three good shots on a Phil at this at up to 700 foot pounds 700 guys that is a ton of power. This will be the world's most powerful production big bore And man, I can't wait to get my hands on this guys. I know it looks like a pretty big gun obviously fully shrouded barrel But this thing doesn't handle that heavy guys and quite frankly the balance throwing it up to the eye there is really really nice Talking about a brand new valve design their light speed valve in this gun Which should be able to deliver not only that big power, but also a very quick jolt sock shot cycle That should be really really shooter friendly and a two-pound cocking effort.  That's pretty good Overall the umrex hammer is definitely one you're gonna want to check out 50 caliber 700 foot pounds 2018 big things coming Stay tuned Hey guys, we're back at the umrex booth checking out some new RWS guns now These are going to be made in Germany and America So this is going to be an interesting kind of mashup between umrex Germany and umrex USA To deliver what is going to hopefully be a very high quality spring piston gun This is the 3400 and we have the 3500 right behind me Obviously you can tell some really nice stocks on here. You got some nice checkering in there It looks like we do have an adjustable trigger as well And you can definitely tell this is taking departure from the traditional RWS line as we have a fiber optic front sight up there And even as far as the safety goes this looks very similar to what they're doing with the Walther guns So we have a lot of new updated features kind of a mashup gun here between the historically Significant RWS line and what umrex is wanting to do with updating some of these features So definitely one we're going to be checking out on the insider here in 2018 Looking forward to this one a lot stay tuned All right guys back at umrex checking out some Glock stuff Umrex got the Glock license earlier in 2017 and Looking at these I got to tell you these feel pretty realistic now These are some early samples here, and it looks like we got a drop-free BB mag here So pretty nice CO2 is going to be housed in the grip You could see that piercing screw there at the bottom, but we don't have blowback on this particular version So this is probably going to be a lower price point gun right here But definitely some cool stuff going to be coming out of this umrex Glock relationship We're looking forward to hearing more about it in 2018 Guys check this out. I saw a video of this gun just before shot show lit up the internet This is the umrex legends cowboy rifle. You see that in there? You know what that's going to be doing That's ejecting shells you guys remember those shells that come with the the John Wayne pistols the Colt single action pistols Those are exactly what we're talking about you load those shells up right into here one BB Of course in each of those shells, and you are good to go Blast in with lever action fun to CO2 cartridges. I believe in the back of this thing Guys, this is the real deal. This is exactly what we've been looking for add that realism factor with that shell ejection I could do this all day guys umrex is going to nail this one very excited to get it on the insider in 2018

G'day all. I just wanted to take this opportunity to give you a bit of an update on where we CFA are at with the structural reform. So last couple of weeks being lots and lots of consultations with various groups, both staff and volunteers, both integrated stations and beyond. A real focus has been the integrated stations, it's fair to say, because I see the biggest impact will be our career staff and our volunteers at those particular locations. I'm really pleased to say that in all cases that we've been to and I've been to has been really constructive, healthy debate. A lot of the bluing has died down while people focus on the future to make sure that we're getting the best outcome we can for both our community and our people. I think now that the integrated stations have got some work to do and they're working on that. Our next area to focus on is the rest of CFA that probably won't have a great impact because we remain the same and we're looking for that autonomy. But the communications to that group, so the rest of CFA that are not integrated is where we're going to start to focus our attentions on. So we'll be getting out there doing more and more discussions as we go forward. But look, I just want to say to everybody out there that's been doing constructive, healthy discussion, stopping the bluing, that's constructive, that's positive and I thank you for that. Have a good day.


Alright guys, what is going on, luxury for an empty journey helping you succeed on your medical journey with less stress? This video we're going to talk about how to create frictionless learning in your daily life in medical school or as a pre-med. But first, let's get to that intro. Alright guys, what is going on, hopefully you guys have a great day. So the topic of this video was inspired by a question asked by one of my subscribers to my most recent video, which is how I study in medical school from start to finish. And I'll link it down below in case you want to check it out. But the question was, you know, I can follow these techniques, but I have such a struggle focusing and staying on task. And that may be you. You may be studying and have one of these situations come up. And yes, after watching that video, it's a little bit funny, but we have those forms of distraction every single time we sit down and study. So the question is how do you go from that distracted state to one which I like to call frictionless where you're sitting down and it's effortless. You know, there's momentum involved from start to finish. You don't have those common roadblocks. I'm going to give you a couple of tips that I've used in hindsight 2020. I wish I would have done sooner. So number one is that you need to identify the kind of tasks that you have on your to-do list for that day. So there's four kind of regions that a task can be. You can have things that are high impact, things that are low impact, things that require a lot of effort on your part and things that don't require a lot of effort. And so, you know, putting those four combinations, you can have things which require a lot of effort, but aren't very valuable. They're not very effective. You can have something that has requires a lot of effort, but they are impactful. And then on the flip side, you can have something that requires a little effort, but at the same time, they're not that helpful. And then you can have something that requires a little effort, but they're really effective. And it's this last category where things that are low effort, but high impact so that you want to spend a majority of your time on. So things that are high impact, but low effort are things like doing flash cards or doing practice questions. These are tasks that normally would have a huge threshold of resistance. You know, it's very easy for you to get started. And once you get started, it's very easy for you to continue, but you know, they're very effective. Things that are very low impact, but require a lot of effort are things like reading your syllabus, things where you have to spend a lot of time on to gain the information, but they're also activities that are very easy for you to be distracted that on Facebook and Instagram. So if you have tasks that are very time intensive, but also very demotivating, like reading a syllabus chapter, stack it or sandwich it with things that are very easy for you to kind of get into things like a flashcard system. Like I love doing flashcards. So I'll do flashcards before I read a syllabus chapter. Before I have to go to the next syllabus chapter, I would do more flashcards because then I'm able to do what is tip number two, which is build momentum as I'm doing the sandwich technique. I have things that are very easy to kind of do and things in the middle of that art is attractive. The second aspect of momentum is often the things that are the most helpful, right? Like practice questions, all of us know the practice question. They're huge in terms of what our final grades would be, but we often schedule those at the very end of our study day. We know we may say, I'm going to read the syllabus chapter, watch the lectures, do this, and then I'm going to do some practice questions. Often, more often than not, we never get to those practice questions because those first tasks are very heavy, very time intensive, and we just don't feel like working anymore.  So if it's practice questions, it's usually very easy, at least for me to get to practice questions and begin them. So I'll do half of them before I start any of my work for the day. And then I'll do the other half of the end of the day. So my first task of the day normally is to read a syllabus chapter or to watch a lecture. I'll first do half of the practice questions I intended to do in the morning, getting some momentum building, and then move on to tasks that I need to do, but you know, I'm not as excited to work on. And then I'll end my day with not a lot of practice questions left. So this kind of system is much easier to get through from start to finish versus something that's very front loaded with Tassie just don't care to do. So I wanted to touch on those two first, which is identify the type of tasks you're working on, make sure you're sandwiching them into using momentum to your advantage. So most people don't talk about that in medical school. You just kind of have to get through the work, but you can structure your work in a way that's very elegant and very easy for you to kind of go from start to finish. The next few things we'll be talking about are both tools and strategies that you can use to avoid the distractions, but also kind of have an end in site. Often when we're working, we basically say, I need to finish all this and then my day is over, but I'm going to give you something at the very end where you're going to have a clear depiction of what your day is going to look like from start to finish. And you'll know when your day is over. So first, let's get to kind of how we avoid the distractions. And I love using apps for this two apps that I'll recommend in particular one is called Forest, which is one app that I started using for the last month. And I love it. The concept of this app is that you'll set a timer of how long you want to work. 25 minutes is a good momentum time where you can get a good amount of work done without getting distracted. Every time you get through a 25 minute block using the app without going on Instagram or Facebook or YouTube, you basically will grow a tree.  But the more 25 minute blocks you have in a row, you start to grow a forest, hence the name.  And so that kind of represents the momentum you're losing. It's a very like visual way of understanding how well you're working. If you work five to seven hours a day in medical school, then you can put that timer on and realize how much of it was actually used effectively. And you have a nice visual representation of that. So try out the app. I'll link it down below. I love it. It's free on Android. I'm not sure about iOS, but make sure you guys check it out if you're interested in. The second is kind of an anti distraction app. So there's plenty of these on the market. They're also free, but something like Stay Focused, which can be found on iOS and Android is basically if you're using it on your phone, you choose the apps that you don't want to be distracted by.  And then the app allows you to schedule specific times of your day that you know you're going to be working. So typically maybe you get home at four or five o'clock in the evening and you typically study until seven or eight before you do dinner. You can schedule those time slots between five and eight o'clock for the app to turn on.  So if that sounds like something that you need in your study regimen or worked wonders for me, I highly recommend you guys check it out. I also link it down in the description. So I have two more tips for you guys. Number four is about creating an environment for those tasks that you just don't like doing. So for me, I absolutely hated watching and streaming lectures. I never found them to be that effective for how I learned. And so it was very easy for me when I streamed at home to get distracted, to end up on another website, be on my phone or like take a nap. Right. So the way I would go about it, it was creating an environment for those tasks, the tasks in particular. I would go to the library. My institution has like these little cubicles, which are pretty isolating. And I would just take my laptop, my headphones and nothing else. I'd leave my phone in my backpack and I would watch those lectures in that environment. Is that cubicle with nothing else going on? I could just focus on this task I needed doing. So then I could leave the cubicle after watching the lectures and feel pretty happy about myself that I got a huge kind of resistance task done of my day. Then I could go home and work on things that are very easy for me to work on. My flash card is my practice questions. So try to create an environment, whatever it may be for you. You may have to isolate yourself from home. You may have to go home if you tend to study with friends. So figure out what environment typically distracts you and try to stay away from those situations, in particular for these kinds of tasks that you just absolutely hate doing. So my final tip, tip number five is about scheduling your hours. Now, I've already made a video on this before and I'll link it down in the description of how I schedule my day from start to finish at medical school, as well as a pre-med.  You want to know when you're going to start working and when you're going to stop. You also know you also want to kind of have a plan like what am I going to be doing when and you just want to be able to just work without any resistance. So that's why I love scheduling my hours. Usually I do the night before sometimes in the morning of and I basically say, OK, these are all the tasks I want to do. You know, I try to sandwich my high impact and busy work in between, just like we talked about. And then I assign, you know, every 30 minute chunk of my free time to a specific task. I may assign 30 minutes to doing a specific amount of flashcards. And then I may assign an hour and a half to do the syllabus lecture. But the basic point is by the end of the day, I know, OK, I'm going to be working today till 5 p.m. I'm going to be working today to 8 p.m. It's very easy to stay motivated when you know there's an end to the site versus saying, I'm just going to finish all of this. It's very easy to get distracted if you don't have a finish line in the deadline. So try out that, you know, check out the video to form more specifics and more like you can see my Google calendar in that video. I'll link it down again in the description. But scheduling your hours, I've found to be super effective to remain motivated throughout the day. But those are my five tips, guys. Hopefully you guys enjoyed them. Again, the whole idea is to create a frictionless environment. So you want to identify what tasks are going to easily demotivate you and make sure you don't stack them. You want to be able to continue to use momentum in your day. Use apps if you have to, and you want a visual representation. Try an app like Forrest. Create environments for those particular tasks that really give you trouble. And are more likely to distract you.  So hopefully this video is helpful. Let me know what you guys think.
