Was waiting for this one since you announced on Instagram stories 💚.

So what's the difference between a " Behavioural Scientist " and a Psychologist ❓🧐🤔 ✏📋ℹ♑

I think through the steps of things I've been putting off, but that just makes me feel like it's already been done, so I procrastinate even more. It doesn't help that I view time as the one thing I can never get back, so giving it up to do something I don't really want to do is a very hard sell. I'd rather give someone money instead. I can always get more of that. 😊

@@Friendship1nmillion this is a really great question! A psychologist is on the practice side, and a behavioural scientist is on the research side. In most countries, "psychologist" is a practising health professional, like a counsellor or therapist, and they need to have certain licenses. A behavioural scientist studies human behaviour: some are researchers, some work in companies. Some people also go by cognitive scientist or psychological scientist depending on their specialty/country.

Yeah, and half way through I paused this video to procrastinate on some other video...

Weirdly, I'm actually not procrastinating by watching it. I'm watching it on my phone while I get ready for work

truth.

tell me about it 😑

@@chestersnap 👍🏻👍🏻

Great tip!

Great tip. Thank u.

That's a great method, instead of running headfirst into the seemingly impossible task and hitting a brick wall, nibble the edges.

I do the same thing when I have an overwhelmingly long to-do list. I look to find the easiest task and do that, then the next easiest. My list keeps shrinking until it's only the big, scary things left. Those things aren't so big and scary when they aren't surrounded by the clutter of other little tasks.

Yes, I've found that the longer I avoid doing something, the more anxiety I get about doing it, but the anxiety comes more from the avoidance than from the task itself. Once I take a small action towards it, lots of the anxiety just starts to go away.

stole my joke

@@betabenja did you saved the rights on it?

"I feel better not using should" :)

@@Sandsack2311 How do you make that look so easy? ☹

@@Sandsack2311 "I should feel better not using should" Back to square one with me.

@@RosheenQuynh I should be able to make things look easy.

As soon as I heard that pun I began scrolling for a comment about the pun

Which notebook should I illaminate so I could be more of a wreck havoc procrastinator?

This is the thought process that I use to manage things, life is way too short to get hung up on the minutiae of the everyday

@@Hollytargaryen Totally agreed.

The problem with this logic is twofold. One you are deciding it isn't urgent enough but other people might be counting on you to chip in on that end so that they can do their part and it becomes a problem if you don't do your part by the time they need you to do it even though technically you could do it later that puts a stress on other people wondering if you'll really do your part in time. The other problem is that if you leave things for the last minute you're always going to do the minimum of a task because you won't have time to do a better job and you're running a risk of not doing it at all because of some unforseen complication, let's say a power shortage or an emergency then you won't have time to do it... So my advice is...do what you have to whenever you can. sometimes that can be hard...you have to fight the feeling of - i have time... I'll do it "later" - If later means on the last minute i stop myself...

@@dementiasorrow Most things in life are only important if you think they are. Structurally as a society, most needs are human made and not basic needs. Thus many people seem to feel they have to do things because that’s what society says you need to do. In reality life can be as simple or complicated as you wish. I choose not to clutter my life with the unimportant or mundane. Yet here I am thriving by my standards and not anyone else’s

💯

good job using gotta instead of "should". XD PS: Actually, it doesn't matter dude as long as you and your colleagues have a fun time grasping this idea.

As soon as something you love becomes work, you'll start "procrastinating". In fact, you simply don't want to do that work. So don't. Find something else that you enjoy doing.

That would have been such a productive move :)

Break your large task into smaller ones. Work on each small task 30 min at a time, twice or thrice a day. In a few days , you will be done. 😁

My father in law actually did his dr thesis on procrastination....

That's basically what Vanessa did too

It's almost as if we are wired not to be active haha

LOL, I wanted to give it 5 thumbs-up :D

English is such a weird language! Just look at the "tough though" (pronounce it in your head, too)

Of course, you simply don't enjoy your life in its current form. So figure out what you enjoy doing and do that. Don't care about the money, that's a poor people trap.

that info about the non-existent completion high feels so relatable to me. did you read research about this? I'm curious to learn more about it :)

Get out of academia, it's shithole where youth goes to die. Don't waste your time on a broken system.

@@levyroth too late for me. Definitely have seen what you mean but might as well finish it

@@levyroth Says a high school dropout

Spot on 😄

Honestly, people should just do that period... I don't get why people comment beforehand

Sounds like it's connected to anxiety. If you do things in a rush at the last minute, you can tell yourself that if you had spent your time the 'proper way' then you would have gotten a perfect result. Therefore, actually taking the full amount of time to work on the paper is a big risk to your sense of self - you have to give up on the imaginary you that could have been perfect and face reality. You are a normal person, not a superhuman who just lacks willpower. And any attack on our identity is TERRIFYING, so of course you're anxious, and when you're anxious you come up with anything to avoid facing that threat.

Kind of the same. It happened so many times that I'd get so close to the deadline that I would decide to just not do the work at all, despite the fact that objectively, a flawed work is better in the long term than a 0. It's also still better to give the work two days late and lose 20 to 40% depending on the teacher than having a zero.

I like that, but I have a different motto: "Never put off until tomorrow anything you can put off until the day after".

Soon you will be replaced by an AI system and you won't be singing the same tune.

@@levyroth smh, I build AI systems…get outta here with your irrelevant grumpy comment

@@mikeroni Soon you will be replaced, and Skynet will be active ;)

@@mikeroni People building them will get replaced, too. All once we have general AI. Obviously, machine learning today is not even close to that, if it ever will be, but eventually true AI will exist, and no one is safe. Not even the programmers.

@@cortster12the point is the last to go the last to worry 🤷‍♂️ by the time it comes for my job it won’t matter

Happy to facilitate

I could never with what I do... 😩

Any papers you’d recommend other than the one Vanessa showed in her video?

That's why in some works you are overwhelmed by tasks to be under pressure all the time not to waist it and keep you productive:p

If you start earlier, you have time to revise and refine aspects of your work. So no.
