[Generic comment on how I procrastinate by watching this video]

Procrastinating by watching this 😂

Fear of failure can be a strong motivator, but it can also be incredibly dangerous. If you still manage to fail despite your best efforts, in particular when it's because of factors outside of your control, it can completely destroy you and lead you down the path of depression, apathy and suicidality. _"If my life is fucked, and all of my efforts and sacrifices are worth nothing, why even bother trying?"_

For half the interview the camera was procrastinating whether to focus properly on JP.

I've had this tab open for three days now.

I'll watch this later....

"Why should you listen to yourself if you're an idiot?!" - spot on, sir 😂

"You don't have to see the whole staircase. You just have to take the first step. " ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

8:45 Cathy Newman: "So you're saying that terror is great..."

“If you want to run towards something you want, you better be running away from something you don’t want” amazing. I took the advice to heart and implemented them in my KZfaq vids and my life in general.

"Playing videogames not because they want to, but because they can't stop." This hits way too close home... damn Jordan

**stops the video in the middle and gets back to work**

Procrastination is probably just a modern ailment, an ailment of what to do with excess free time. In the past all you had to focus on was simply surviving. Most people in the west are on a higher tier of Maslos Hierarchy of needs.

Man really been healing generational traumas of people. I wish he he was immortal. We need people like him because a lot of us are lost due to traumas and there’s literally no one to show us a way or path to look forward to. Watching his videos give us hope and makes us optimistic and makes us willing to change for good. God bless this man! Hats off! 🙏🏻

I'm procrastinating by learning about how to not procrastinate.

My usual answer to the job interview question regarding what motivates me is exactly this - fear and desperation.

this part definitely resonate with me so much 6:00 - 6:31 ✔too much pornographies ✔too much video games ✔too much youtube videos ✔wasting my life away time to change my life...

"If it gets measured, it gets managed." Good!

I sometimes feel like homework is wasting time when I could be working out, being outside in the sun, Instead of being hunched over staring at a computer screen for 8 hours a day

Saved this one for later. Should be great some day.

This was very needed. It’s 4:30 and I haven’t gotten out of bed yet.

Almost every time I listen to Jordan Peterson he will say something that completely resonates with me and describes the tornado of thoughts and feelings in my mind at exactly the right moment when I need it. He is truly formidable.

For me, it always comes back to “cleaning my room” to get through my anxiety-paralysis and actually accomplish something.

Anybody else watching this while procrastinating?

Here are my 4 reasons for procrastinating: 1)

I put it on my "watch later" list.

Why is this in my feed? Damn KZfaq, you always know what I need. Frigging genious YT analytics. I'm writing a final exam tommorrow.

Since some days I'm not procrastinating and this is a really nice feeling. My productivity is pushing up. I think, that you can only really relax, if you are not procrastinating. Thanks for uploading this video!

Watching this while procrastinating

I have found that over time threatening myself with something negative to motivate myself caused anxiety.

I was saving this for awhile

Finally got round to watching this... Great advice!

" If wanna run towards something you want it’s truly useful to be running away from something you don’t want. " - JBP

Been meaning to get around to watching this sometime real soon .

2:20 ... boom! Nailed it! If where you are is doable... then changing anything could cause a horrible disaster. But if where you are is untenable, then you must make a change, in spite of the valid risk of making a mistake.

Another brilliant video! Thank you.

I bought a book on procrastination once 40 years ago, never got around to reading it

Great! I must add this my watch later list sometime!

Great info - Thanks

"Why should I listen to myself if I'm an idiot?" - classic.

I added this to "watch later"

Great information.

Education shouldn't be about reaching goals, but to avoid unwanted consequences if you don't get an education.

I'll watch this tomorrow.

2nd year of college - I figured out that the hardest thing to do for me was pulling out my binder and getting out the work on my desk. Then, once I see something is unfinished, I can easily get to work. I'm very focused when I work too, I just sit down for a few hours and write a report or a paper. DONE. I don't have a problem actually doing the work, but, the action of getting out my work is just very difficult for some reason.

Another way to motivate yourself to take action is just decide to act right now, whether you feel motivated or not. There is a principle called, "Work comes first, motivation second." This is just another way of being more productive.

Thank you

i have been using the Procrastination Elimination Method by john isaac! its life changing... you guys should check it out.

Added this to my watch later list

Yes! Very good

Just added to watch later

Added to watch later list...

Congratulations PhilosophyInsights! for having a JP interview without a sensational misleading title. I guess there is still a grain of sanity in this digital sea of deception. And ultimately, that's the problem with the internet: there's no educational prerequisites required, just a PC and a connection. 😉

What if the brain knows that you will die sooner or later, no matter what you do and procrastination is the state of flow and happieness?

Why do people not like this guy. I always find him saying something that is positive and beneficial. He tries to tell the truth. I really like him because he holds me accountable.

I needed this

Added this video to my watch-later list

Terrific Video, Keep up the good work!

Good words, but the last part about the vision was very good

Wow - the singer from REM has so much money he has J. Peterson give him personal motivation talks...

I have 250k in gold in Warcraft :(

What a powerful interview. I am a pathological proctrastinator. I am not good to anyone, I feel useless and frustrated. .

Having energy and good goals would help.

I wish KZfaq had a x3 speed. So I can absorb as much of these kinds of video as quickly as possible

Ohh I'll definitely have to watch this later, I often have problems with finishing stuff tha

nice camera focus

I might watch this later

The value i place on my time is not based on money but on how i develop myself, that includes work, play, sitting watching these and other lectures, or going out and doing activities, as such i dont really consider any of my time actually wasted just bringing different values and experiance. Sometimes its nice to just sit, watch the trees and think, am i planning or just sitting in neutral, sometimes both, i think for me a perod of procrastination (yes i had to cut and paste that) is part of the final preperation before action.

I think I'll just watch this video every day until I do what I should, back to work!

Completely explains why I wait until the last minute to thrash on my race car, I could work on it weeks before a race but instead I end up waiting until the week before because the idea of missing the race (fear) pushes me to work on the car Even now in rebuilding the car after I wrecked it I find myself lacking the motivation, this video explains so much

Fear of failing and no fear of death means that you have to work harder, Mr.

Fear is a powerful motivator.

I’ll watch it later

Had to go clean my room after this

From my life expierence anyone I knew that was 100% on worked super hard played super hard and never just chilled have eventually burnt out. And life did not end up being their dream they can be angry. Only 2 or 3 people I have known in my life were truly 100% focused. I wasn't one I ended up being that mix of weight lifting, loving 420, dog walking type of average Joe. And I love it

Put this vid in my watch later list.

This should be the last YT video that I ever watch! Well it won't be, because I know that JP can teach me a lot more. I will however try to stop watching videos that are just helping me to procrastinate. I hope I manage to keep it up.

Was procrastinating and this helped. Use both a future vision, and counter vision. Do you want a good future, or bad future? FYI the 2nd camera was confused between the microphone and guest Dr Peterson. Put it on a higher angle or lower the microphone arm.

Time spent should either be productive or enjoyable; ideally, both. While prioritizing, do the enjoyable things last to maximize enjoyment.

I see several problems with these arguments but here are the top two: 1. Fear can potentially ruffle your mind and push you into a state of being absolutely petrified, yielding next to nothing by way of results. Most tasks that demand cognitive investment need a certain calm that's conducive to giving structure to your thoughts and rightly orienting your psychic energy. This is my issue with Peterson: he keeps analogizing with rats and lobsters and other elementary life forms to define humans, which is a fundamental fallacy. We aren't cheese-chasing rodents any longer; we're into the business of consciously pursuing value. Inflicting pain and fear by oneself or externally may work for an ancient Egyptian slave but not for a modern human, a highly evolved intellectual and creative organism. 2. On all those 'wasted' hours--what's meant by 'waste'? Any serious cognitive activity would have two modes, the focused mode when you are sort of hands-on, and then what could be called the 'diffused' mode, which is when all the free mental association of ideas really take place. Unless your are a hapless slogger, you must get up from your chair and let your mind be free for a time, thereby galvanizing your creative and mnemonic powers. So, not every free hour is an hour wasted, but can well be one of necessary distraction giving your subconscious mind its due.

im procrastinating by watching this

Holy shit; what are the odds. I was listening to a podcast about how to stop procrastinating just before I saw this in my subscription feed.

Sir, if your camera is in a fixed position and at a constant equal distance to the subject, I recommend setting up manual focus in advance. It's how movies do it. Great interview :)

Almost added this to my watch later....

"Get used to the bear behind you" - Werner Herzog

Procrastination is simply your brain carrying out a cost-benefit analysis and subconsciously concluding that doing nothing 'now' is fair, as long as the completion of the task is still possible and not too costly in the future.

it seems like such an obviously better motivation then just setting positive goals yet why is this the first im hearing.

Added to 'watch later'

I put it in my Watch Later list.

i was going to watch this but I figure I can do it tomorrow.

Man I’m always going “faaaack!” Whenever I watch dr Peterson Jaw dropping amazing

Video starts and I look nervously around my room to see if it's in order. IT ISNT!!! :0 :0

And yes... Yes I am

I’ll watch this later.

I stopped being driven and started to procrastinate more. Never been happier.

Adding this to my watch later list.

My Notes: Write out the worst case scenario: How your lack of action will affect you, your family, and friends. Conjure up all the shame, the guilt, the I Told You So's, the looks of disappointment on there faces, the bill collection calls, the moment you get the call into the boss' office telling you "You're Fired!", the moment your spouse or sig other tells you they are out of here, the stress and anxiety, the burden of asking for help, the amount of work it will take to climb out of the hole you dug for yourself. Do the math! How much time do I waste in a week x what my time is worth in $. "We are not Lions waiting for an Antelope, we are squirrels gathering nuts before the Winter storm."
