  • There's a reason why people are such bad procrastinators. It's easy: Procrastinating feels great. But it's not so great for your brain since it pits two of your brain's heavy hitters, your limbic system, and your prefrontal cortex into a literal head-to-head match.

    What Happens When You Procrastinate Too Much
    Following is a transcript of the video:
    Most of us have procrastinated at some point in our lives. But about one in every five of us are compulsive about it. Putting off tasks and chores nearly every chance they get.
    They’re called chronic procrastinators. And it turns out, this behavior does a lot more damage than you might think.
    We get it, doing work is hard.
    But when you choose to watch tv over doing laundry or washing the dishes you’ve just launched an all-out battle in your brain.
    On one side is your prefrontal cortex. That’s the part of your brain that sets long-term goals and regulates self-control. It’s telling you that those dishes aren’t going to clean themselves.
    On the opposing side is your limbic system. It deals with pleasure, arousal, and reward.
    And it’s telling you that washing dishes is no fun, and you’ll have a better time doing something else. So, procrastination essentially puts your brain in its happy place.
    It feels good. That’s why you do it. But just because it feels good doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good for you.
    For example, several studies have found that undergraduate college students who procrastinated had a lower GPA in the latter half of the semester compared to non-procrastinators.
    They were also more likely to get sick, based on their healthcare visits.
    Moreover, other studies have found that procrastinators report higher levels of guilt and anxiety when they choose to procrastinate in the first place.
    And if you keep it up, researchers have found that chronic procrastination is linked to: low self-confidence, Low energy, And depression.
    Overall, your quality of life will probably be worse, than if you just listened to your prefrontal cortex. And you may think that you just have a different workflow or that you perform better under pressure.
    But, sorry to say, there are no studies to support any benefits of chronic procrastination. Bottom line: it’s unhealthy. But not all hope is lost.
    In fact, researchers have conducted dozens of scientific studies in search for ways to help procrastinators. What they’ve found time and again is that how you think about tasks can make a huge difference in how likely you are to procrastinate on them.
    Tasks like saving for retirement, for example, can be abstract: There’s no immediate deadline, so you can always start tomorrow. And it’s this mentality that can lead you to procrastinate.
    Instead, make your tasks more concrete in your mind.
    For example, a study in 2011 discovered that people given an illustration of how they might look at retirement age were more likely to say they would save money for retirement, than people without an illustration.
    The image was something tangible. And, therefore, painted a more concrete picture of their inevitable future.
    Whatever the task, do your health a favor and do the work. You might just enjoy that tv show even more once you get to it.

    It's the worst when you feel too guilty to do something fun, but can't get yourself to work either, so you're stuck in this unpleant state of wasting time while you could have been working or at least procrastinating in a fun way.

    So many people act as if we choose to procrastinate. Or as if it's just some behavior ir mentality that we do. Chronic procrastination is a real issue that we have no control over. We can't just break the habit and we can't just do our work. That's like telling a depressed person that going outside will make them feel better. It's not that simple. We genuinely cannot bring ourselves to do it.

I hate having to keep people waiting if I’m helping their case in some capacity but I’ve been telling myself that it’s going to improve for the longest time and it just doesn’t budge as a rule. The only thing I’ve found that helps is impractical on a day-to-day basis.

    “If you had just listened to that good ole pre-frontal cortex”
    Saying things like this just exacerbates the problem and contributed to even higher levels of “guilt, low confidence, and depression”. The persuasion by fear only goes so far before it becomes even more paralyzing than before watching the video at all. Chronic procrastination is a product of fear and irrationality. By trying to scare the scared more and saying this like “Just...” probably isn’t the best technique.

It’s weird because I have tried so many times and people say like “just forgive yourself” “don’t be harsh” but then I try doing that and it doesn’t help at all, I feel no difference afterwards. I feel like I’m wasting my time, but when im procrastinating it’s like I have no power to stop it, and then boom, wasted like another day of my life just playing videogames and nothing else.

    I once did an arts and crafts project at like 11:00 pm (the night before).
    And I got like a 95% on it.

      I once had to create a Physics project that involved creating a Rube Goldberg machine - I had gotten so far behind in schoolwork that I ended up staying home from school for a few days both to actually finish the project and deal with the self-induced stress. Procrastination is never truly fun, but in the end, the Physics teacher said I had one of the best projects he had seen, so I guess I did something right.

    I think what many scientists neglect in these studies is how anhedonia, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental conditions, caused by the daily grind or adverse/abusive conditioning throughout youth development, can compel ppl to NOTwork hard, not try, desperately cling to positive stimulants because we're so starved for the healthy, standard, regulated dose of dopamine, we're mistreated enough to go from extroverts as kids, to introverts (or those with implosive emotional reactions) as adults due to oppression in or outside the home. So we now drudge ourselves along out of obligation to survive, but still crippled by our circumstances enough that we put off important things for just a bit more of a vice or distraction.

      @KarmaPolice42_28 5 лет назад +27

      @@KhalerJex Sometimes you just feel overwhelmed with all the stuff you have to do, for example, in my first year at college I was having a hard time with the subjects and I didn't want to sit down to study and do the exercises because I didn't understand shit. Therefore, I started studying too late, I did bad in the exams and I felt horrible because I knew I had wasted my time and that everything would had been right if I'd started studying earlier. Then I felt lack of self-confidance because I thought I wasn't good enough for my degree. As soon as I stopped procrastinating that much and I improved my grades, I started feeling fine again. So, in my case, the reason of chronical procrastination was having to do many things at the same time without knowing how to start.

    “And then before you know an hour has gone by.”
    I’m 15. In 2nd class from my school system I used to procrastinate sometimes, but just an hour or some. If I came out of school at 2:15, I would do an hour of procrastinating and sometimes more. If I was at around 4:30, I would feel really guilty that I hadn’t done anything at all, which is good, cuz otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get myself together. This only happened once in a few weeks, so it wasn’t a big deal really.
    Now in third class (diff school system to England), also at the end (I hope) of corona, I also procrastinate. Not a bit or 2 hours or so, but a WHOLE day. Then I start with working at 10pm, and am done at 12, then I would ‘relaxe’ in my dark room till 1 am and after sleep. It’s quite extreme, also for if u have a school day starting at 8 am. When I’m procrastinating homework, I only do it on my phone.
    Has anyone got a solution or something useful that might help? Or does anyone have about the same problem? Would really appreciate an answer from someone. Life is shit at the moment ehheh

    I have found that most people don’t procrastinate on purpose. It’s actually a stress response and also a huge symptom of adhd especially if you desire to do the tasks - yet just can’t execute them with willpower alone- also known as executive dysfunction disorder. So be kind to yourself and get tested as well.

    I think procrastination is linked to the inability to know from where to start the particular. You can either mentally prepare yourself before starting it by planning it and breaking it down into smaller tasks. Also, listening music especially rock or metallica helps with concentration and anxiety.

    If you want to stop procrastinating then in the long run you have to stop using social media or watching TV shows all day long or every time when you have time.
    These dopamine secretion inducing "activities" make you feel everything is boring and/or unnecessarry and/or stressful compared to watching a yt video or scroll tiktok.
    You have to assign a time window to these, for example 1 hour per day and/or after 6 pm.
    Not doing these things will make you bored for a while, 5 minutes, 15 or 25 minutes but eventually you will get the job done because even that thing you were procrastinating on is more fun than boredom.

  • @somethingandahalf

    at first i agreed but then my opinion changed.. why? i am addicted to procrastination and i hate short term tasks.. but i find it easier to focus on long term tasks because they require less immediate commitment. i can do ti bit by bit when i get a sudden surge of desire to do something for about half an hour, sometimes a bit more. on the other hand, procrastination has massively helped me in other ways for example i had more time to think and figure out how i could achieve acceptable results with less effort. it took years but looking back it was worth it of course at the expense of good grades but surprise surprise.. grades arent everything. i feel my thinking has become more flexible and adaptable thanks to procrastinating all these years. in the end it matters where you draw the line - being lazy and procrastinating are not the same thing
