    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

    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

      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.

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.

      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.

    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 :)

    I love it! You just helped me, I was about to skip "IT" for today, after all I am on my way...but you helped me to sit at my desk and make it happen. When you know what's behind it's much easier to act the proper way... Many thanks for the video and the book!

    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 :)
