"Procrastination is a way for your body to tell you that you're doing something that you are not really excited about." I totally agree!

Phenomenal video. Thank you for sharing so much. My husband and I recently had a good discussion about procrastination. In university he frequently procrastinated when it came to studying or in particular with writing papers. He told me his first year of university he'd procrastinate with writing papers not because he didn't want to do them but rather that he always wanted to have the perfect ideas for the paper before writing them. Ultimately though he'd find himself writing his papers one or two nights before they were due, which was stressful. He fixed this by starting papers the day they were assigned, even if he didn't have the perfect ideas for them right away, and then gradually working on them as time went on.

I can definitely relate to some of the points you mention (setting wrong goals which are not mine, trying to schedule too much, running several projects at the same time), but then who doesn't? 🙄 It today's world, the term "multipotentialite" should not come as a surprise. I have my little secrects to fight procrastination, most of the times they work 🙂 Thanks for the video, Marina!

"4:57 Trying to schedule every single minute..." THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING AND I KEEP GETTING DISTRACTED BY THINGS AROUND ME. I have so much to say about this particular point but words aren't enough to express through words. All I can say is, thank you very much, Marina Mogilko! Dang! That was powerful and I think I found the root of my problem and hidden errors. WOW!!!

Very interesting topic! Many people set too many goals at the same time! Or maybe they are not their real goals. I think that, as Marina said in another video, you have to set your goal based on something that you really love and enjoy doing it. Something that you can do for free, even without getting paid for it.

These are all great points, but sometimes procrastination is the result of the task being too ‘big’, so one doesn’t know how to attack it. It can cause an action paralysis. But breaking up a big task into smaller manageable tasks can help combat this particular issue.

2:13 of sponsoring in the beginning , that is too much !!!!

i think that the best way to avoid procrastination it's set goals and plan every day in advance. If you set SMART goals, you won't be able to start many projects or feel overwhelmed

I loveeeed this video Marina, I am now in a process to become more organized and I always encountered people that would recommend me to schedule every minute of my day to be productive. I tried but it made me feel stressed and bad about myself if I couldn't follow my schedule correctly or complete my activities. I felt like a failure whenever I decided to do something else. So, I stopped doing this and I just set up goals for the month and year. With your video, I realized that I wasn't the only one that thought in that way! THANK YOU SO MUCH❤❤❤

remember why you started. look in the mirror ... that's is you competition. abrazos Marina !

We procrastinate because of video like that and because it's our nature :)

Love the segmented of the timeline

Thanks for this . I really want someone to do video on this topic. It was really useful. 😄😄😄😄😄

I was literally thinking about this just today and came across your video. 😁

Love your vidoes! you're so informative! Please keep posting more videos like these

How are we supposed to find a goal without an inspiration... My biggest inspiration to be a future youtuber/entrepreneur is: Marina Gary vee Alex costa Jose zuniga Aaron marino...

I know that this is just an advertisement. But if you really learning how babies brain develops, that's really awesome!

Смотрел видео и понял, что прокрастинирую. Я пошел 😄

Oh, Marina! I am super excited about your every video! Why? Just because I like it, I enjoy watching videos in English, this is the best way for me to practice my speaking and to improve all my skills. Big thank's for all your tips and thoughts!

*saves this video on "Watch Later" list.

Thanks for sharing. I am really struggling so much in focusing given all the creative ideas I have . I end up not doing anything and tired thinking am performing yet am not showing results

Amazing......this was really very helpful......👍👍👍

Set own goals he exited by process Overthinking don't have to match plan make plan from reality Don't over plan day Starting to many projects at once takes away focus

Whatever you say it really motivates me, Iove your talking but i really need a native speaker partner like you to have daily conversations for improving of my speaking skills i know how to prevent proscanate i just need a native partner pleas help me.

Btw, I run 4 main projects as well :) I figured that's the maximum where I can stay kinda productive. But then again, I focus on one project more, and try to keep the rest alive till I get to push them. Find your way how it might work for you, and go get it. 🙃

Я очень многое смог понять, спасибо тебе, Марина

I think you are overthinking in this video. Pointing out problems after problems. Its very scattered. Just saying in the nicest way possible. 👍

I remembered I DM you in IG about this procrastination ☺️

Oh wow! Great timing. I actually just uploaded a video about productivity. Thanks for this one SVG! #notificationsquad

Thanks for the video

I admire you

I always watch your videos, its not easy for me to understand English, I mean I can but with sub titles 😊

Great video! Will be cool if it's appearing in Russian for those who don't understand English. And you look so beautiful!

Thanks you, I really need it

Thank you very much for those special videos

I liked your video so much! Its all true about points you mentioned about procrastination. I think i finally managed how it works for me, personally. I know what you mean when you say: when you feel excited... I have one question: when you were shooting this video, do you use teleprompter with your script or you memorize it? Or you just talk everything and then edit all the rubbish parts? Thanks.

i dont have any goals to set '_'

Trying to schedule every single minute.sister please telling alternative of this in your next video 🙂👌

Do you always have to be excited about what you are doing ? I didn't like to learn Japanese, but I was forcing myself, now when I'm reading books in Japanese, it feels really nice, but if I didn't push myself for a year and a half in the beginning how would I enjoy what I have now?

It was really useful 👍👍👏👏

thaaaaaanks :)

I love you my love

Do you have business with Israel startup?

Почему я четко понимаю английскую речь Марины, но когда я слышу как говорит носитель английского в обычной жизни я слышу какую-то кашу из слов?

How yo

How can we learn English for toefle ibt can u tell plz

Echo There a little echo 😌

💪😊❤

💙🌺

Marina! My Heart is saying to me that you are not alright. Something not right is happening to you. Your face is telling allot about you.

First :O

Maybe my opinion will not be popular... But I LOVE when the promotion is NOT HIDEN. Because is you promote smt really valuable, good quality, then, why not? Why me, as a cunsumer of info, not to learn about it and not to use a good quality product. So, yes... Yes, I like such promotions, it is true.

Cry me a river. ALL TALK NO ACTION. HOW ABOUT YOU SAVE OUR CITIES, OUR SHOPPING CENTERS, OUR PHARMACIES, OUR MALLS?????? Why don't you stop the looting before it starts? Why don't you stop the arsons and fires before they start? Because they are wussies. Protect city hall and the oh so important politicians but let the businesses of the normal people burn.

Sory. I dont agre if you say "i dont like it, so i procra. I think it just reason to deal with your self and dont agree you jus a lazy person. Sory for bad English
