I am ironically screen sucking right now, having failed to prioritize :'^) a whole pile of work awaits me yet i'm here hahhaha.

Marie, you really help get to the root of the matter. Love working with you! let's do it again. Ned

my goals keep changing, sometimes they disappear and re-appear after opportunities are missed.

Smart people underperform because they over analyze! 😔

I've failed at everything in life. Guess I must be a fucking genius lol

3 Short term Goals. 3 Medium Term Goals. 3 Long Term Goals. Definitely an easy way to prioritize!

Guys! I figured out what my problem is... I'm too damn smart.

I was 'let go' yesterday because I was 'insubordinate' over calling out my OCD boss politely in him feeling free to group text us micromanaging issues in a passive aggressive way off the clock...having to deal with my autistic son's issues and my phone alerts me: 'you should not be sitting down on the clock at all, please refer back to the handbook for any questions' which hadn't applied to me at all and embarrassed a co-worker. I had responded 'it is not appropriate to contact me about a non-specific matter while I'm off the clock please; and thank you'. It's like we are not allowed to draw boundaries if someone has control over your paycheck...I am smart enough to know this wasn't my loss in the end; and start my new job fist thing Monday.

#4. "Never worry alone, get the facts and make a plan." I just did that this afternoon. You're not kidding about how it helps to share worries with a friend. I can now take action and no need to worry! Thanks, Marie and Ned.

-My name is Chris. -Hey Chris! -I'm here because I'm a victim of screensucking on KZfaq.

Planning is the most important thing for me. The absence of expectations leads to insufficient productivity.

For me, it's #2: screen sucking!! I have to work on my computer... so it's this constant insidious challenge to be there - but NOT look at email and social media. I feel SOOO much better when I limit social peeking to a couple times a day... but it's astounding the way "social screen suck" creeps in without my looking! When it does... I'm scattered and can't concentrate.

But if it were't for Screen Sucking, I would never have seen this video.

The concept of "Never worry alone" will save lives. Brilliant interview Marie.

Thanks for the video. Ironically, screen sucking is what lead here...

I love it... "When you have a plan you feel more in control, and less vulnerable, which makes you more effective."

I felt like I was in church how many times I lifted my hands and said "preach". Thank you so much for introducing to Ned, great guest

I've had a crazy past few weeks. I'm in the habit of watching MarieTV to unwind. Aaand then the video started and I knew I clicked on the right thing! I always get so much out of MarieTV and have found it to be incredibly inspiring and helpful. Thanks for all you do!

"Avoid screen sucking" and "let me get back to you" are the most needed tips that I should apply to my life.

My experience suggests smart people do NOT underperform, but they DO ignore the value of sucking up to their bosses. Sadly, most bosses prefer to have ass kissers over talented workers. The only good thing about this is that sooner or later the ass kissers and the ass kissed are found out by their superiors to be useless, and out they go. I sure hope Gordon Anderson, Freddy the Freeloader WIlman, and Sue O' (expletive deleted) have other jobs lined up, because when corp. finds out what total liars, cowards and client-losing imbeciles they are, out they'll go!

I love the 3 goals technique. I've heard this before for the day, but not short, medium and long term. Love it!

Love this!! This was so needed. I have so many lilies/worthwhile projects that are all equally important to me. I think the point that Ned mentioned that really spoke to me was Defining and prioritizing my goals into term categories. That way I could get them all done while staying focused on those that are most urgent. Thanks!

I'm thrilled to find Marie! I've watched this video twice and shared it with my husband. Did me a world of good. As an entrepreneur I so appreciate having such an awesome resource as you, Marie! I cant wait to share this with my growing team!

Excellent interview, as always, Marie... I will follow you wherever you go, because you just keep getting better and better! The 5 Tips Dr. Hallowell shared I took notes on, and I must implement them as soon as possible, so that I can get my projects and goals done.. And then, next goals + projects..With much appreciation + admiration.. Cheers!

To be honest, i don't understand some opinions here. Dr. Ned was spot on, concise and powerful, useful advice .Thank you Marie you surprised me, and have a new subscriber.

LOVED THIS! I'm working on removing the leeches - which are not necessarily particular people, but unnecessary distractions that come at us from every direction through technology. It's not always easy, but it is happening, and it feels so good. Thanks Marie!

Marie, I love this segment. It really speaks to my life in so many ways. Being a young (but older :) entrepreneur, I find myself engulfed in projects, screen sucking (I am so accused of that!), and being connected to some significant people that use up your life energy on stuff that doesn't make any sense (emotions, drama, etc). Thanks for the segment I have watched this piece at least 5 times...Oh no..did I already say that...

This video is exactly what I need to watch! Focusing and making daily, weekly and even life goals is what I need to do asap. Also getting rid of leeches...

That end clip was awesome. The whole video was but the end clip was the cherry on top! (Subscribed)

Thank you Marie and Ned! Just... THANK YOU!!

Define clear and specific goals. Love ❤️ your powerful & supportive content!

I am rather intelligent, and I underperform because when I over performed there was no difference in my wage or any other thing... better off doing as little as possible, because people who actually perform are generally not appreciated.

Screen sucking is the epidemic of our time.

Thanks again Marie. The best advice today was regarding prioritizing. This activity helps us to refine crystal-clear goals and encourages true self-awareness.

Thank you so much Marie. Love to you. This video is absolutely useful. Everything about it.

Love it Marie, some great practical tips

wasn't suppose to be watching this but some how i got here and watching this

Thank you so much for this video. It's simple but amazing.. Love this. Again, Thanks a LOT

Thank you for answering my prayers!😇 This is so helpful at the moment! Love all ideas and will just start with the 3 goal-method.

there is nothing crazy or wierd about smart people underperforming, we under perform so people dont expect much and we dont have to work hard.

SO much to do, what am I doing watching these?

It's 2020 and I'm watching this and it is so good! If us "smarties" want to unlock our potential, it's essential that we learn the art of TRIAGE. Structure provides creativity

Love Neds comments regarding worring alone and yes it can cost lives. This message needs to be shared with more men.

i like the part were he says find someone to share yr worries with

Real quick just gonna pop in and help everyone out People could make a "Why smart people don't watch 'Why smart people X' videos", which they won't (because it would be bad advertising for similarly named content, as demonstrated below), and it would list some things like "smart people would already be smart enough to know why they do what they do" and "the videos are obvious click bait for the less intelligent to visit, self identify with via confirmation bias and speak out about how smart they are to feel more secure" the latter of which, of course, repels smart people For the record, I know exactly why I underperform, and have no business being on KZfaq, let alone commenting on it. I just feel like being dumb for a while because it's relaxing.

never worry alone, indeed. i love this episode! love love this.. i am acknowledging that im still depressed undr the quarter-life crisis. this should help me alot.. thank you Marie and Dr. Ned.

I didn't finish that message, THANKYOU so much for this invaluable work you do Marie.....YOU ARE AWAESOME.

This was very useful.

I feel so alone.. What if we have no one to worry with. I feel that my friends and family are so busy with their life... I feel bad when I discuss something with them and they just wanna just get it over with fast

Marie, Thank you once again. I need to watch this at least 5 more time with notes.

The first Advice, was the best for me. "Define Clear And Specific Goals" I think if I start doing that, from the moment now. I will be a much happier and content person. Thank you for sharing the invaluable advice.

Okay that 13 mintues whizzed by!!!!!! Amazing information! I will definitely be utilizing this tactic!!!!! Thank you!

I see a few smart people here discounting this information because they already "know" it.. Unfortunately for us knowledgeable people, there is a wide gap between knowing what we should do and actually doing it. Perhaps we would not be watching these videos if the strategies were already being practiced.

I love Ned Hallowell! I wish this was longer! I needed it going to watch more of your videos.

Goals - short term, mid and long term. Also never worry alone, get the facts. Thank u so much.

Oh, thank goodness it's over. Who would have known that all I had to do in order to solve my lifelong problem was watch this 12 minute video?

"never worry alone", uuuuuuuuuaaah , biiiig !

Dont know what took me so long to find your channel!! Super useful and helpful. Love it

the first one now sounds like a life saviour! definitely going to work on it. thank you so much Dr. Ned and Marie :) i will always owe you this!

Wasn't exactly what I expected but good advice regardless.

I'm sorry but 3 goals a day is too much for someone with depression. I have a hard time even taking care of my kid because even getting out of bed is one of the most terrible things

found this in suggestions and i think its going to be my fav channel. extend the discussions for an hour pls. :)

The 3 short terms goals really made an impact, it’s so easy to put 14 items on the daily goals and perform only half of it. Thanks to you 2 !

i have ADHD and aspergers so i can really relate to this. unfortunately for people like me its harder to control this.

But what goals have I supposed to refresh daily? Go to school, do homework, revise?

What a lovely man and so genuine. His words to you were so heartfelt and TRUE! Thanks for these videos, they are genuinely insightful, short and snappy and funny. Can't go wrong with that...

Marie, I find super inspiring how you make people feel valuable. I want to have that power too. Thank you.

this video was a screen sucker for me personally. alas, I realised it only I watched it in full

Can you give Dr. Ned a hug from me? He is so sweet and this was so inspiring and precious for me. Thank you very much, dear Marie.

Goal prioritizing, 3 short terms every week and then long term goals is what I need the most. Thank You.

We can and we should also get rid off our mother, if she is a leech. We are not obliged to spent our life with leeches of any sort. But we owe it to ourselves and to the world to live our lives in our highest vibration. This wouldn't be possible if we are stuck in a relation with a vampire - even if it is our mother. Thank you for the video. I agree with everything, except the mother stuff...*)))

3:35 what she did with her hand then said the word "sucking" my immature man mind kicked in.

Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize.... It really makes life easier .... Thanks Marie 👍👍👍😊

This is such amazing advice! I love the 3 goals per day idea especially since I have a tendency to totally get bogged down and overwhelmed by having too many things to do at any given time..

wow i paused now after she mentioned ADD 0:25, i was just diagnose with ADD 22/12 2016, and i don't like ADD, its so wasted, but i don't want to take drugs (medications, i'm scared of drugs), so i''ll be stupid for the rest of my life :(, i'm sad :( (so unproductive :(. so this information society is a dubble ADD for me? it feels like i'm becoming demented actually, i want to do a test for that. 4:12 so i'm i also being rubbed on dopamine cus of screen sucking? if i understood that right?, my native language aren't english.

Ever heard of Steve jobs, bill gates, mark Zuckerberg, jack Dorsey, etc?

Hey Marie, I love the tips shared by you. As a success coach from India, I work with a lot with smart women who have forgotten how smart and capable they really are due to years of conditioning.

Wow! So much insightful goodness! I"m guilty of the first 3 tips, but most specifically 2 and 3. There will be some serious cut back on screen sucking and allowing myself to say "no" to other people, since I find myself overwhelmed and feeling out of balance from always saying yes.

Avoid Screen Sucking

I'm so smart, I figured out that all teh stupid people think they're smart.

Hi, my dear. Came across this pearl just today. Thank you for this wonderful video. The "let me get back to you" really hit me, because that's my goal this year, with getting rid of the leeches. It's been really hard to get rid of it, oh gosh. But I'm getting there!

This is just GOLD. Don't worry alone... and so much more.Get the facts. Make a plan! Don't put up with leaches. What are your lilies? Mine are my kids. Love Marie!

ADD? I can not take my eyes off her legs and heels.

Imagine you go out to fancy shmancy dinner with some fancy shmancy people and you bring her as a date and then she laughs the way she does. In public.

Thankyou Marie 👍🤗 You are the best !🤗🙏

This video is ridiculously helpful! I wouldn't say I'm smart, but I do a lot of different things - I do acting and music along with studying an art course at university as well as maintaining a job and so sometimes when there's a lot to do it has a negative effect on me and I end up sitting around all day, thinking I'm busy but not really doing anything.. Setting these goals has structured my life and I get so much more done nowadays. Thank you so much!

There is very superficial information. I thought there would be psychological studies involved with this interview with a doctor. Waste of time watching this video.

I just love when americans talk about underperforming or underperformence . You would know wouldn't you . And no wonder the world leader on the topic is american ! Thanks for the video i had a good laugh . Smart people do not underperform , stupid people do not realize we are and think, that's all . we are not underperforming , we are just tired of trying to explain top you what you don't understand and it makes us waste precious hours every day . Just for the record I am Both an MD (medical doctor for the overperformers) sepecialized in the human brain , a vet, (veterinarian for the dumb cunts who watch too many war movies) and an ethologist (look it up i have already wasted enough time explaining to you what a vet and an MD are) . Graduated from La Sorbonnes and Pari 5 , from Cambridge and later on the royal veterinary school, and finally from Kyodai one of the two best university in Japan . (and yes i speak 7 languages and i am actually Icelandic, but i had the misfortune to be born in the US and leave there until puberty and i know a lot about this joke of a country and how it revels in its mediocrity yet refuse to acknowledge it ). There are two men i admire a lot (i am far from comparing myself to them) and both of them were deemed underperformers , they failed at their tests in school and their teachers relentlessly told them that they would never achieve anything in their life and were even called stupid and inefficient by their employers before they started becoming self employed . One of these men was Nikola Tesla and the other was Albert Eisntein . So i guess i'd rather have the world filled with underperformers like them .

Short, sweet, and to the point. Great video with excellent advice.

Wow thank you so much marie very great info this has opened my eyes.

feel like you have ADHD. oh please. how do you think it is for someone with ADHD! you can't really just turn your mind of like you can do with your phone.

Get rid of the leeches!!!

Thank you so much for this!!

LOVE this episode - simple but highly effective advice. I'll be implementing 1 and 2 immediately. With gratitude ~ Danielle x

Because they're smart enough to realize that unless you like getting everything getting dumped on your table, it's better to be lowkey at your job. If you want to get a job done well, you give em to smart people, because you know they're smart and won't mess up. And if you're a boss and you want something done, but the person you gave that job to is fucking it up, because you want it done, you'll give that job to someone smart. That means more work for smart people, while the fuck-ups lean back and smile, because now you're doing their job for them. Of course, the kicker here is that we don't really know if these fuck-ups are doing it on purpose, which begs the question of "Who's smarter now when you're doing my job for me?". And what's worse is if it's no longer peer-to-peer, but boss-to-employee. You do their job, then they take all the credit. Really, it's a combination of people who want shit done well, and people who knows how to take advantage of this dynamic.

If her hair is real, I like it. And she's nice. Hey, lady, you're fine looking, hello.

He's so sweet! Loved it! Thank you.

So so insightful and worth it! No 1 and 5 really stuck with me! Thanks Ned and Marie! 😊
