Fr it’s been 3 years of slowly slipping into depression and not having motivation to do anything I just always want to go back to bed even when I’m not even tired sleep you get to escape reality for a while
@Francesco D'Alonzo Anger is very powerful. It has evoked change for centuries in different communities! It's not fun to have, but it's definitely the most motivating.
Getting heavier and heavier in your life that it is so hard to stop it. I'm there right now. It is fuqin hard to start, but it feels amazing when you are already there.
As a developer I had been getting lazy lately procastinating every time I wasgonna start scripting. This inspired me to just start working and I got more done than ever before
I genuinely have a huge problem for example my mom will say I can’t do what I want until my homework is done and my homework is usually easy but I don’t want to do it because I think it will take me about a hour but then I will spend 10-11 hours doing nothing because I am unable to do what I want because my homework isn’t done so I will put off 1 hour homework because I think I will be bored but I will then sit around for the entire day doing nothing and be sad at night that I haven’t done anything all day
yeah this is why the "I am gonna Just Do It now and whine about it later" mentality works better than the "aw I did a sentence of the essay I deserve a 3 week break" mentality. And yet its always seeming to be that second option
This channel is the tipping point of my life. Everything is finally making sense. My circumstances are not the problem, I am the problem. The way I am is the problem. Time to redesign me.

There's another brain hack that can work: Break things down in two minute tasks. When we have chores and things to do, break them down into 2 minutes of work. Then we can't use the excuse that there isn't enough time. Everyone can spare 2 minutes. It doesn't feel as daunting. We don't have to complete the task, just spend 2 minutes on it. Often once we start doing it, we will just continue until it's done. Even if we don't we are closer to having finished it than we were before.

Well, currently i'm on my free time schedule. So it's fine But this video really telling the truth, sometimes I procrastinating even at my work time schedule
If it's something you really care about or think it is important, I think you can procrastinate because you very afraid of failing. I've done this. The thing matters so much to you that failing is such a horrible prospect that you can't bear to even try.
That's true. I procrastinate because I want to give up on studying because I'm afraid I'm going to fail something I'm struggling with. It puts me out of my misery. But that just makes matters worse
Don't think of your goal is a 100% success rate. Think of it as 100% failure rate because expecting too much and it will hurt. For example, when you apply for a new job, don't expect them to hire you, expect them to reject you and with that expectation you can ready 1000 more job application or if you think 1000 more application will get rejected, make another thousand application until luck is on your side. This is a hard concept to understand because we don't want to lose. We want to win, but what if I told you the only way to win is to lose a hundred times? Tldr don't give up, don't be afraid to lose, don't be afraid to try

@PixelLightShow I think of it this way: Gaming is not something you should do all the time. Not to say you should never sit down and spend the time to play a game, but to not do it so much that you can't achieve your dreams.
Procrastinating for too long can definately make you very anxious about the thing you need/should do! And this in return makes you overall really anxious and physically nervous
Me too. The concept of "just do it, regardless of motivation" is nothing new to me, but the addition "use resistance as a compass because that's often where the most important thing to do is", now that was new & enlightening.
hi joey. i just wanted to thank you for this video. i never realized how much i let resistance rule my life. awareness is the first step. now i actually have to do something about it. also, much love to a fellow canadian
This applies so much to revision, thinking about it physically and mentally makes you uncomfortable, until you actually start revising and you get into a flow of carrying on and enjoying it.

Actually right now i dont have any urgent work to do but i do have some homework for the week and this video helped me, now i want to do it all right now instead of procrastinating so its doing quite the opposite of making me procrastinate.
I'm procrastinating because I'm here watching the video. I'm procrastinating watching the video because I'm reading the comments while watching said video. I'm procrastinating watching the video as well as procrastinating with reading the comments because I'm replying to a comment instead. Soon I'll be procrastinating doing even that by staring at a blank wall. Sweet, sweet resistance
I was called out twice, then procrastinated more by reading the reply's to this comment, now I'm procrastinating by replying to this comment, at this point I'm calling my self out abt the fact I'm procrastinating, which in its self is procrastinating, I just fell into a loophole of procrastinating, and I'm still going on for some rsn, I prob. need to stop this, but the thing is not only am I procrastinating via writing all this, you are now procrastinating by reading this long reply, on a comment that you also procrastinated by reading, on a video that you most likely are watching while procrastinating, and the fact that you have read this long into my reply on a comment just shows how much you are procrastinating rn, honestly why are you still reading this, you know your procrastinating something rn, you could be doing that thing instead of reading a reply of someone who is procrastinating by writing this long reply, you know you should be doing it so why aren't you? the real question is why are you still reading this, at this point there's no point in convincing you to stop reading this, well I should prob. stop procrastinating and go do stuff, why are you still reading this, I've been typing for like 10min straight, which just shows maybe I'm the one who should just stop procrastinating, I mean tbh you do you, you've gotten this far so I see you have dedication, but tbh you should go do that thing your procrastinating, there's no way you have read this far and are not procrastinating lol, I'm kind of running out of things to say, well what's funny is most likely no ones gonna read this far so I kind of wasted all this time, oh well, that's kind of the point of procrastination xD, still not sure why I'm still typing, I have to insist you stop reading tho, I mean even if your gonna continue procrastinating there are better ways to do it then continue reading this long reply, well I guess your thinking I've made it this far I might as well continue, or your just curious what I'm gonna say or how am I still continuing to continue coming up with ideas of semi pointless stuff to continue talking abt while procrastinating, at this point I'm genuinely impressed that you have read this far, well all I have left to say at this point is, well, since you've made it this far, have a good time procrastinating I guess, and I'm happy that you spent the time reading my reply

One thing i do, which has helped me, is just write down what i want to accomplish every week, and then telling myself that i owe all that work to myself. For example going to the gym 5 times a week. I write which days are push, pull and leg days, and which days i do cardio, because then i will know on the day, that i owe myself that workout. It has helped a lot, because i used to say to myself on the day that i was too tired ro run after that hard workout. Now i just do it without no second thoughts.
When you said the thing about your perfectionism I actually laughed out loud because I literally left a long-ass comment on your “quick ways to get out of a rut” video about how my perfectionism immobilizes me and I always feel like I struggle with this more than other people/feel very alone in that struggle. Your vulnerability about your own struggles with perfectionism is so SO helpful you have no idea!
I've been putting off a VERY important paper I should've wrote a year and a half ago. Yes, for almost two years, I've been fighting daily against this, so far I've had two deadlines which I didn't meet. I haven't even started writing it, as I'm currently writing this, I have my desk ready, my computer, I've spent the last week understanding the why's, how to overcome it and making it so easy to begin that I won't be able to find another excuse. This video wasn't everything but It sure was part of it. I'm ready to start, wish me luck :)
I think I just can't force myself to "just do it" Because it feels like that "resistance" triggers the anxiety in me and it paralyzes me until there's only like 20mins left to do the thing I'm supposed to do.
Read something recently that said that there's no way to think your way out of anxiety. Your only chance besides just waiting it out is to actually do something, anything. Been trying to do that lately and it's been helpful :)
This vid, came in at the right time I've been feeling this so-called resistance for quite some time now. I'm currently in school and for some reason, I can't seem to find the inspiration or meaning to why I need to do the things I need to do, this has brought my grades down and it just seems harder and harder to just get things done, but listening to this made me interested in reading the war of art. It completely changed the way I look at my objectives now, I used to feel this immense pressure whenever I would think about school work for example, but now I just do it without letting resistance even have a chance to begin nagging at me. Consequently not only have my grades gone up but my self-esteem has too, I don't feel as hopeless anymore.
as much as i tried to implement this, ADHD is a different beast. this advice helps a great deal. but i didnt know i had ADHD till now, and i felt bad not being able to do the things i want to do.
This really speaks to me in regards to seeking mental therapy, the thought of it is scary, feel the resistance to go almost immediately as the thought passes through my mind. Knowing its something incredibly crucial to my growth and would eliminate a lot of the hurdles in my path to actually achieving more in life, even then I find myself feeling the strong pull back from following through on actually seeking help. Along with my ADHD, having executive dysfunction being one of the biggest issues I face when trying to start some sort of project or advancing on some sort of idea, i find myself constantly feeling stuck in the same place. Rejection sensitive dysphoria or the fear of failing is also one of my biggest hurdles, but i feel is unrelated to the subject in this video. I found this video to be extremely profound and motivational for me to actually push through the bullshit my mind tricks me into believeing and makes me feel more comfortable with facing the resistance head on and following through with aiding my mental health. Thank you man. I love your channel and come back to it from time to time whwn im feeling as though im not tapping into any productive behaviors. I appreciate you a lot man.

I... I've needed this video. So many things in my day-to-day life it felt like I had this hill of "I don't wanna" in front of me. I thought my laziness was just because I have low energy.
@PixelLightShow no one's arguing that "men whom play video games are filth" (also u should've used WHO play video games but whatever). He's just saying that he's doing something to pass the time instead of doing something to benefit himself, even though at that moment he should be doing something better. I'm playing Minecraft rn and I'm a girl, but you didn't even watch the video at all. That was not a point or argument made anywhere in it, and no one said there's anything wrong with playing video games. The vast majority of men I know play video games, and I don't think I know anyone who has a problem with that. You seem very offended over a point that was never made.
@PixelLightShow Dude, why tf should anyone even listen to you? You didn't even watch the damn vid and are just assuming what the content is by the title and random comments. Incel troll.
My favorite quote from this book is: "The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, that the battle must be fought anew every day." go out and beat the sh*t out of resistance.
bro i posted almost this exact video with almost the exact same title just 2-3 weeks ago. this is real!!! resistance is a killer, and it’s stronger than you think it is. thank you for putting this into your own words, another great video!
Rook Rose hey thank you! i seriously can’t appreciate you enough!! it’s so hard to get people to notice your videos, and i appreciate you watching mine
This was precious... my stomach turned when I realized resistance has been the reason for some *terrible* decisions. Scary how powerful this resistance can get, it's like a monster with it's own intelligence. Unnerving, but great to put a name to it. Edit: gave video title advice but then remembered I'm not a RUclipsr.
I really do like how this channel tells you exactly the right thing, straightforward, without dancing around many but ultimately unhelpful suggestions. I’ve found this to be right for me anyway. This year I found out how to finally do schoolwork without massive procrastination and it was basically getting past resistance. It wasn’t indecision or because I didn’t believe in myself or anything complicated, it was simply that it was uncomfortable. All I had to do was just start. This video got it exactly right I’ve been a bit lazy over Christmas and since my semester finished but I think you’ve pointed me in the right direction to start this year

Me too. The concept of "just do it, regardless of motivation" is nothing new to me, but the addition "use resistance as a compass because that's often where the most important thing to do is", now that was new & enlightening.
Brain: *HOW BOUT NO!*
Think I will too.
@@jjQlLlLq Just do it!
This is a useful comment on this video.
“Using resistance as a guide” is SUCH a genius concept. Thank you for that!
hi joey. i just wanted to thank you for this video. i never realized how much i let resistance rule my life.
awareness is the first step. now i actually have to do something about it.
also, much love to a fellow canadian
I’m supposed to be writing a paper on irony.
Michael Benson write a sentence. Ill write a sentence for my own paper...the resistance
I blew air out of my nose on this one
Michael Benson
Is there a word for this irony? Double irony maybe?
First hand research is important. What a scholar!
I should research video game addiction and write a paper on it >.>
yeah you could write that it is ironic that the more constructive a activity is, the more resistence is there.
This applies so much to revision, thinking about it physically and mentally makes you uncomfortable, until you actually start revising and you get into a flow of carrying on and enjoying it.
ikr, its so weird?
“Video games are a waste of time”

@Vayne Carudas Solidor lol
Arrowinaknee 277 youre god damn right
Some people buy gaming laptops just because they're extremely powerful, they retain a good resale value and can endure long high CPU sessions without overheating issue. They're great for people doing 3D rendering, mechanical engineering analysis etc. My coworker owns a gaming laptop but never played a single game on it.
Jose Carreras I work in video editing, and honestly, people in the creative professional industry like this guy should stick with MacBooks for laptops.
Lol That’s cool Depends on multiple things. I’d say go with Mac as a second option unless your work environment requires it.

Not only have you just procrastinated by watching this video but you've procrastinated by reading the comments. Honestly guys.
....the fact that you called me out not once, but twice👀 .... fineeeee I'll go do my work
Actually right now i dont have any urgent work to do but i do have some homework for the week and this video helped me, now i want to do it all right now instead of procrastinating so its doing quite the opposite of making me procrastinate.
I'm procrastinating because I'm here watching the video.
I'm procrastinating watching the video because I'm reading the comments while watching said video.
I'm procrastinating watching the video as well as procrastinating with reading the comments because I'm replying to a comment instead.
Soon I'll be procrastinating doing even that by staring at a blank wall.
Sweet, sweet resistance
I was called out twice, then procrastinated more by reading the reply's to this comment, now I'm procrastinating by replying to this comment, at this point I'm calling my self out abt the fact I'm procrastinating, which in its self is procrastinating, I just fell into a loophole of procrastinating, and I'm still going on for some rsn, I prob. need to stop this, but the thing is not only am I procrastinating via writing all this, you are now procrastinating by reading this long reply, on a comment that you also procrastinated by reading, on a video that you most likely are watching while procrastinating, and the fact that you have read this long into my reply on a comment just shows how much you are procrastinating rn, honestly why are you still reading this, you know your procrastinating something rn, you could be doing that thing instead of reading a reply of someone who is procrastinating by writing this long reply, you know you should be doing it so why aren't you? the real question is why are you still reading this, at this point there's no point in convincing you to stop reading this, well I should prob. stop procrastinating and go do stuff, why are you still reading this, I've been typing for like 10min straight, which just shows maybe I'm the one who should just stop procrastinating, I mean tbh you do you, you've gotten this far so I see you have dedication, but tbh you should go do that thing your procrastinating, there's no way you have read this far and are not procrastinating lol, I'm kind of running out of things to say, well what's funny is most likely no ones gonna read this far so I kind of wasted all this time, oh well, that's kind of the point of procrastination xD, still not sure why I'm still typing, I have to insist you stop reading tho, I mean even if your gonna continue procrastinating there are better ways to do it then continue reading this long reply, well I guess your thinking I've made it this far I might as well continue, or your just curious what I'm gonna say or how am I still continuing to continue coming up with ideas of semi pointless stuff to continue talking abt while procrastinating, at this point I'm genuinely impressed that you have read this far, well all I have left to say at this point is, well, since you've made it this far, have a good time procrastinating I guess, and I'm happy that you spent the time reading my reply

Resistance is two things: fear or lack of motivation caused from exessive dopamine consumption.
That's way too deep. I need to read it a few times. :)
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
"lack of motivation from excessive dopamine consumption."
where did the excessive dopamine consumption come from? where was I consuming dopamine too much and then I got LESS motivated? How does that even work?
@@kevingosselin2277 You get used to dopamine. You need more to be motivated and happy the more you usually get.
This can be caused by anything, lots of social interactions, drugs, internet, games, addictions
TY, makes complete sense to me. Wow🎉👏 Ah-ha!! #HumanRace 🙏
“International chest day”
Hits legs....
WTF
Boi low key procrastinated right in front of us hoping we wouldn’t notice
I thought he said chess day huh!
I'm a hockey player, striving to go pro.. Resistance is everything it seems in life, really appreciate your insight on all these topics!!
One thing i do, which has helped me, is just write down what i want to accomplish every week, and then telling myself that i owe all that work to myself. For example going to the gym 5 times a week. I write which days are push, pull and leg days, and which days i do cardio, because then i will know on the day, that i owe myself that workout. It has helped a lot, because i used to say to myself on the day that i was too tired ro run after that hard workout. Now i just do it without no second thoughts.
When you said the thing about your perfectionism I actually laughed out loud because I literally left a long-ass comment on your “quick ways to get out of a rut” video about how my perfectionism immobilizes me and I always feel like I struggle with this more than other people/feel very alone in that struggle. Your vulnerability about your own struggles with perfectionism is so SO helpful you have no idea!
Why am I procrastinating on video that's supposed to help me
Because its a happy medium its informational without doing it. Its less procrastinating than porn or shit internet but not as good going to the gym.
The first example is SO RELATABLE!!!!!
this is what mark zuckerberg would look like in real life

I've been putting off a VERY important paper I should've wrote a year and a half ago. Yes, for almost two years, I've been fighting daily against this, so far I've had two deadlines which I didn't meet. I haven't even started writing it, as I'm currently writing this, I have my desk ready, my computer, I've spent the last week understanding the why's, how to overcome it and making it so easy to begin that I won't be able to find another excuse. This video wasn't everything but It sure was part of it. I'm ready to start, wish me luck :)
I hope it goes well!

I came onto your channel purposely because I have things to do and I needed a Joey boost. I received it! Thanks Joey! 🙏🙏
I think I just can't force myself to "just do it"
Because it feels like that "resistance" triggers the anxiety in me and it paralyzes me until there's only like 20mins left to do the thing I'm supposed to do.
now imagine being pessimistic at that very moment since anxiety usually pairs with depression lmao the s u f f e r i n g
Read something recently that said that there's no way to think your way out of anxiety. Your only chance besides just waiting it out is to actually do something, anything. Been trying to do that lately and it's been helpful :)
This thing really helped me LOL
I procrastinate too much.
Just start the action. thank you
Just start it and mantain it, its the only way to stop procratinating honestly 😃
This vid, came in at the right time I've been feeling this so-called resistance for quite some time now. I'm currently in school and for some reason, I can't seem to find the inspiration or meaning to why I need to do the things I need to do, this has brought my grades down and it just seems harder and harder to just get things done, but listening to this made me interested in reading the war of art. It completely changed the way I look at my objectives now, I used to feel this immense pressure whenever I would think about school work for example, but now I just do it without letting resistance even have a chance to begin nagging at me. Consequently not only have my grades gone up but my self-esteem has too, I don't feel as hopeless anymore.
as much as i tried to implement this, ADHD is a different beast. this advice helps a great deal. but i didnt know i had ADHD till now, and i felt bad not being able to do the things i want to do.
This really speaks to me in regards to seeking mental therapy, the thought of it is scary, feel the resistance to go almost immediately as the thought passes through my mind. Knowing its something incredibly crucial to my growth and would eliminate a lot of the hurdles in my path to actually achieving more in life, even then I find myself feeling the strong pull back from following through on actually seeking help.
Along with my ADHD, having executive dysfunction being one of the biggest issues I face when trying to start some sort of project or advancing on some sort of idea, i find myself constantly feeling stuck in the same place. Rejection sensitive dysphoria or the fear of failing is also one of my biggest hurdles, but i feel is unrelated to the subject in this video.
I found this video to be extremely profound and motivational for me to actually push through the bullshit my mind tricks me into believeing and makes me feel more comfortable with facing the resistance head on and following through with aiding my mental health.
Thank you man. I love your channel and come back to it from time to time whwn im feeling as though im not tapping into any productive behaviors. I appreciate you a lot man.

Binary Greenhouse I know the feeling😔
@PixelLightShow That was a long rationalization lol. Also, don't take it personally.
@PixelLightShow no one's arguing that "men whom play video games are filth" (also u should've used WHO play video games but whatever). He's just saying that he's doing something to pass the time instead of doing something to benefit himself, even though at that moment he should be doing something better. I'm playing Minecraft rn and I'm a girl, but you didn't even watch the video at all. That was not a point or argument made anywhere in it, and no one said there's anything wrong with playing video games. The vast majority of men I know play video games, and I don't think I know anyone who has a problem with that. You seem very offended over a point that was never made.
Nice joke
Unless you play fortnite
@PixelLightShow Dude, why tf should anyone even listen to you? You didn't even watch the damn vid and are just assuming what the content is by the title and random comments. Incel troll.
My favorite quote from this book is: "The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, that the battle must be fought anew every day." go out and beat the sh*t out of resistance.

This was precious... my stomach turned when I realized resistance has been the reason for some *terrible* decisions. Scary how powerful this resistance can get, it's like a monster with it's own intelligence. Unnerving, but great to put a name to it.
Edit: gave video title advice but then remembered I'm not a RUclipsr.
I really do like how this channel tells you exactly the right thing, straightforward, without dancing around many but ultimately unhelpful suggestions. I’ve found this to be right for me anyway.
This year I found out how to finally do schoolwork without massive procrastination and it was basically getting past resistance. It wasn’t indecision or because I didn’t believe in myself or anything complicated, it was simply that it was uncomfortable. All I had to do was just start. This video got it exactly right
I’ve been a bit lazy over Christmas and since my semester finished but I think you’ve pointed me in the right direction to start this year
