Start reading the third section of the book, first

@dzzzzzt 4 күн бұрын

Please don't do that. Internet memes are funny but the video and the message of the book are incredible if you're really interested in dealing with procrastination. As someone before me said the third chapter is the practical stuff so if you can, get the book and read the third chapter.

Every youtuber who talks about this all make videos with bait that they have "the definitive solution", as if they are likely the first or only ones who have finally cracked it and the viewer has just been so lucky and blessed to have stumbled upon their channel with the life-changing answer. And then this happens: The "solution" is basically all the same tired talking points that all the others offer with the same baity notions, and like all the rest are either 1. Drawn out long enough for ads and sponsorships, 2. Incomplete in their consideration, 3. Poorly communicated in some way, 4. Overly scripted but still misses major points somehow or 5. All the above. I got half way through this and correctly predicted this to be just another one of those videos, but in a "trust me bro, let me speak at ya with my face right in the cam so I look more personal and real about it."

Reading a book on procrastination is procrastination…”JUST DO IT”

@kevingeoghegan294 Күн бұрын

Or don't do it. You may never need to do what you are procrastinating about. And maybe it wasn't worth doing in the first place?

@LinkEX Күн бұрын

It isn't if you consistently struggle with procrastination and don't understand why. In that regard, reading the book on procrastination is already one step of the process to fight procrastination outlined in this video.

There are certain concerns about privacy, when it comes to Opera. If you are an average Joe, then its less of an issue, but, if you delved deeper into privacy space and find out that keeping your data more secure is important, then, check the cons and pros of Opera. PS: Thanks for the video, btw.

Video Games are one of the worst forms of procrastination because it makes you feel like you're accomplishing A LOT! Because your character is progressing or YOU are progressing in the game. AND this feels exactly like days when I've been VERY productive and got a lot done. There's literally NO DIFFERENCE. BUT what you realize later is that while you feel like you got a lot done, you actually accomplished NOTHING in real life. Absolutely NOTHING. AND the age old excuse of "well I could sell this account online" is bunk cuz 99% of gamers never do this. The same thing goes for other hobbies. However don't get it twisted, hobbies are great and essential for a balanced life. So as long as the gaming is kept in proportion to other things, great. But it's all too easy to retreat from life into games that give HUGE dopamine hits on a regular basis.

When "checking" a book off the shelf I often separate the references pages from the rest of the book. If it is about roughly 1/3 references to 2/3 material in thickness I give it a peruse, scan the Table of Contents, fast scan/fan the pages, and make a decision. If I choose against getting it, I make a point of memorizing the cover or writing down the title and author. Something made me pull it off the shelf to look, so I'll do a quick online research session on it - and maybe return to buy it. For those I choose, I carefully scrutinize the references notes as I reaad. Sometimes I'll head to a reference and check. If an author takes a quote out of context, and blatantly so, I'm probably done with the author. NOwadays that involves a quick, "I'm disappionted," email or message to them, not a whiny socmedia post. For all the books I go through come copious notes that I review periodically, add to a Google Drive doc, and share with peers. You videos seem to fit smoothly with my own, problably nutsy-gefooly, way of choosing and consuming material. Thank you!

The sound doesn't match the video style. The sound is amazing and has an ASMR feel to it... But the video style is casual, down to earth, and no nonsense... Personally I prefer the casual, no-nonsense style of your videos over the soft, sensual style your audio is suited for. Just my $0.02

Ehhh, I get that, but it's also totally wrong. He's never shied away from tangents or holistic thinking; this is just another example of his channel addressing the big picture of people learning Python and implementing it in their lives. For a lot of people, procrastination is a much bigger impediment to coding than math or logic, for example. Hence, it's totally on-topic. Can it apply to other aspects of life, too? Yep 👍
