Cleaning just becomes more interesting if I need to study

You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead??*

"The worst part of being a master procrastinator is the amount of guilt you endure everyday" It got me traumatised...

Crazy how I'm watching this video while procrastinating 😂

Procrastination really affects you, when you do a lot of work and take a break onwards. That break is never-ending. You just look at the time and reset your studying schedule again and again to the point that when the day ends, you never end up doing Anything. The same cycle is repeated the next day, and the worst thing about it is that you rarely get tired of it and stress starts building up, due to your huge pile of work being left uncompleted.

1. Use your failures as rocket fuel 2. Take concrete steps to boost your self-confidence 3. Surround yourself with greatness (motivating books from "legends" in sports, business, anything) 4. Obey the law of forced efficiency (there is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing)

😭😭😭😭 Although I got rid of the phone addiction, I was still procrastinating by doing unimportant and small tasks and then doing the important tasks the day before which was stressful because I know I had been working. I totally needed this video to learn that there is never time to do everything but there is time to accomplish the important ones... Thank you so much, Mike. You changed my life :))

You know you're a serious procrastinator when you procrastinate watching videos on how to get rid of procrastination- makes sense? It does, to me. Finally watching this after keeping it in my watch later for a week :")

I'm absolutely suffering of procrastination and phone addiction. I was always procrastinating since i was a kid but that didn't affect my school result i was actually an excellent student (i could have done even better). But ofc with the years study became harder, if you don't work you'll not get what you want. So my grades are becoming worst I'm feeling bad and disappointed because i know i could do better but i'm unable to change myself. I'm able to ignore all the work i have to do until last minute : i'll watch a series, check social media for hours, clean my room or even read a book instead of studying. So i'm promising myself in front of y'all that i'll change. The third semester in school is gonna start and i promise i'll try my best. ❤️

As a procrastinator you know exactly what is the reason of your failure, it makes you angry with yourself, you know you'd be one of the best if you just tried harder, and yet instead of changing the habitual behaviour you just keep procrastination going on and on...

Parkinson's law, and gamifying my life into checking off boxes in Notion. That's how I fixed my procrastination

*Perfect is the enemy of good” - Voltaire* - Really helps me overcome feelings of procrastination

In fact, we only procrastinate when we have to do things we dont like to do. Doing things we dont like makes us suffer, and our brain is smart enough to make us avoid this suffering. With that in mind, change your focus from the suffering of doing the tasks itself to the relief you'll get when the tasks are done. It works for me.

Was studying and now it’s a break. Should get back after 10 minutes. Thank you Elon, your videos are really helpful ❤️

"REJECTION is the most powerful motivation" Thanks Elon

this self-confidence thing is so true!! it's literally the main reason why i procrastinate so much!

This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks for the great content Elon! Your channel has come a really long way.

Productivity tip: Just enjoy what you are doing; productivity will take care of itself. Just think how much do you procrastinate while watching Netflix and how much you procrastinate while watching a *boring documentary. Well, which one is more fun?

Thank you for bringing this Mike. We appreciate your efforts. The best way to beat procrastination is REMEMBERING your "WHY." It works for me all the time.

You are really an inspiration. Your videos helped me get through this lockdown when I had zero motivation. Thanks for that Elon! ❤️

0:41 He : am the world's worst procastinator Me : i literally added this video in my watch later list a week ago😑

The video no one really thought they want, but this is the video everyone needs to see. Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to hear.

1. Use your failure as motivation - remind yourself the feeling of failure 2. Take steps to boost confidence and self-esteem - The less confident you are, the more likely you are to procrastinate. 3. Surround yourself with greatness, listen to what good people say - watch podcasts - read books 4. Obey the law of forced efficiency. - Instead of long todo list, create 1-4 most important tasks. As long as we complete these tasks, it is okay.

Hey Elon, I just wanted to say your videos are helping me and encouraging me to do better. Thank you for doing this

What I learned: 1. Use failures as rocket fuel → use defeat as motivation to get better. - My idea: each time I fall into procrastination, think of it as a temporary setback that motivates me to improve. 2. Take steps to boost confidence and self-esteem. Read inspirational books about successful people. - My idea: read The Miracle Morning 3. The law of forced efficiency: there is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing. - Simplify your to-do list to only include 1-3 IMPORTANT things per day. - Be less busy while getting more of the important things done. - My idea: re-organize my Notion task manager to make it easier to separate critical tasks from non-critical tasks (i.e. ideas)

Hey ELON!! Literally I was suffering with this and you made a video on it. Loved it Keep growing

Thank you so much for sharing this and helping those who are going through it !!

This is exactly what I have; a procrastination ADDICTION. Perfectly worded. It ruined my life

Wow! This video felt so different! The way you merged all the clips together looks AMAZING! it feels like I'm watching a movie 😂

You're such an inspiration to everyone. Thank you for your content.

I just discovered your channel and the content is pure gold. Thank you for sharing your experience. I send you a hug from Colmbia

I am in love with the vulnerability. The part about the marks to get to uni brought me back to the same part of my life and man they were shit, I lack so much confidence in myself but now it's over

The self confidence and procrastination relationship is damn true . Never realised it. An eye opener 😍

*Love the new background Elon! It looks amazing!*

I have watched lots of people made you tube videos how to overcome obstacles and be effective, productive but Elon is the best and most sincerely among all those videos. You are inspiration. I sincerely thank you. By the way I usually never comment on you tube but for you I did. Your honesty and the way you present to show examples are great. Thank you again

Gotta add this video to Watch Later playlist... wait, it's already filled

I don't know how to thank you.your videos helped me a lot and now I can see how I've improved since last week till now🙏🙏

When i was feeling down in the dump i found this video ..you motivated me thanks my friend ..🙏

Thanks a lot for this magical content! Means a lot 🥺❤️

The second point he mentioned is probably the most important message in this video. Before watching this video I doubted if I will take away anything really useful, but the second point really opened my eyes. I realized it's so true in my case, and possibly for most other people too.

thank you so much for making this channel and thank you for using this topic

*Crushing it brother, super helpful every time!*

I need to eliminate this habit slowly while the school year is not starting. Thanks for this!!

Very useful tips! Thank you for making such an amazing video for us! 🤩

One way of avoiding procrastination is to think that the skills and achievements you are doing or making are for you, not vice versa. Thinking opposite makes us feel to do them perfectly and since we know that we can't do it in first try, we try to avoid and delay them as much as possible thereby fueling our procrastination. I used to have the same weak mindset while exercise, which made me lose a lot of important time. But once I corrected my mindset, I corrected my life and overcame my procrastination evil.....

Thank you!!! Very very helpful. Thank you for sharing!! 🤗

Just saved this to my watch later playlist. I'll definitely watch it later.

The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual's list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy

Thanks for sharing, Elon! Good luck with your studying - and avoiding procrastination - everyone!

thanks for sharing your gift with us sir

Thank you for this.

OMG that background looks 😍 Wow!

wow.... its fabulous.

Anyone else noticed the adorable kitten in the thumbnail ? 😺 Just me?......

Thank you bro, I suffer from this a lot. And I have been thinking about it for a while now. I lack motivation, I have no inspiration. Life is happening to me instead of me happening to life. I lack discipline,I eat junk food. I can't manage my expenses. I have been blessed with great jobs. I don't particularly think I am a complete idiot, otherwise I would not be a manager in one of the leading FMCG companies in South Africa but I am a zombie. I don't even know how to communicate with women anymore. Cause all I do is work and go to my house and sleep, netflix, go to work. Repeat. I wish to be a productive human being. I wish to have something to look forward to. I am just a bag of meat hurtling towards certain death.

Very good. Thank you.

I don't know I just love this channel sooooo much 💖 its give me motivation so much....

Helped alot 😊

surround myself with greatness . read / watch about other people who had the same problems and still achieved massively . a deaf actress . NFL player with only 1 foot . blind woman summiting mt. Everest . 1 armed surfing champion . inspiration !

thank you for helping

Thanks a lot!!

Thanks soo much elon

Thank you so much for helping us. ❤️🐭

Looks like good vid.. I'll save to watch later

New Location is amazing 🤠 Loved it!! I guess you've moved to another place🙂

This video essay is far better than all those other fancy KZfaq content

Putting it to the side really only makes things harder. Also I find that information procrastination is a thing too, where you try to gather so much information before doing something and in the end no action was taken. Sort of like analysis paralysis, another obstacle.

thank you!

You are kind of a face of motivation.. When I see your face , environment in the video, I procrastination gone !!

The inspiration from Project Elon has helped me a lot, with the help of God and watching your videos and following the techniques and tips you gave in different videos, reading effectively, memorizing books and working hard in studies. I got the first grade in the national exams and entered the list of top ten students in 2022 in Tanzania in business studies (A level) thank you very much god bless you

Finally you changed the background!. I thought you were uploading the same videos again and again! XD

Thanks!!

Procrastination is neither a lack of motivation nor of discipline. It is simply a natural response to overwhelm, too much pressure, sometimes induced by trauma. We avoid the task in order to recharge and recover. In our primary nature the task would go away if we go away (eg crossing a river, climbing a tree, avoiding an opponent etc). In our civilised surroundings it doesn't. The tasks keep piling up. In order to overcome procrastination we need to learn how to deal with the stress first, otherwise all superficial behavioural changes are doomed to failure. Also we need to relearn how to recharge, because distraction like TV etc doesn't to the trick and is highly addictive.

I'm afraid I will procrastinate for the rest of my life and die not having done anything, not just procrastinating doing chores or assignments, but like procrastinating living life. What if I never go to the places I wanted to go to, or never reconnect with people I meant to get back in touch with, or what if i spent my whole life taking pictures/videos of things instead of living in the moment only to never go back and watch those pictures/videos??

Random but your living space is very aesthetically pleasing! Like damn!

I knew I had to watch this video when I caught myself reading the title and adding the video to "Watch Later" 😂

1 million soon❤️🔜

Hey Mike 👋 Could you please tell which app did you used for setting daily and weekly goals .😊

The thing that you said about Law of Efficiency is actually true When I set up 5 tasks a days, I am hardly able to complete one but when o set up 4 tasks or less I am able to complete all... . . . Well maybe this is my superstition also... As now I know this is gonna happen so maybe this actually happens

Yes the point that almost no one give attention to, as its so obvious.. But it's highly important to be repeated out loud and to stop and think about it When you do work on yourself whether the problem is procrastination or whatever It's all about having a good quality life
