What if the problem was never your intelligence — but your method?

In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with study coach Tom Vorselen to dismantle the biggest myths about learning, productivity, and procrastination.

After failing five university exams and nearly being academically dismissed, Tom transformed his results — not by studying harder, but by learning how to learn. Today, he has helped over 175 students achieve 90%+ grades in demanding fields like medicine, engineering, and law, built a 500K+ global community, and generated over $323,000 in coaching revenue in under three years.

Together, they unpack:

• Why effort does not equal effectiveness
• Why rereading and highlighting fail most students
• The science of active recall and why it works
• Procrastination as a feedback loop — not laziness
• ADHD and structured systems for focus
• Study systems for working professionals
• The five-minute rule to break overwhelm
• Identity shifts required for real success

This episode is for students, professionals, parents, and educators ready to replace guilt with structure and chaos with clarity.

Because learning isn’t about willpower.
✨ It’s about design.
