Cr1tikal applied this point to eating healthy which I thought was cool. The time is takes to eat the slice of cake will pass anyway whether you have it or not.
Hey Jordan. Big fan of all your content, but the quote that went something like "getting 3 things done in a day is great" really resinated with me. Been feeling a bit guilty because i've been playing video games 2-3 hours a day, even though i've been getting all my commitments done beforehand and only doing it at the end of the day, feel alot better after reading that. From the bottom of my heart, thank you
Just to clarify, I'm reading in my field for an hour and another hour out of it, excercising 6 days a week, putting an hour a day aside for each of my classes outside of class, and meditating while working and studying, the video games are just a end of the day relaxent.
Bwahaha thats what i found myself during assignment crunchtimes do some assignment, get my dishes done, a lil bit more assignment, then some other quick house work, back to assignment then do some warhammer modelling etc haha
Hey Mr. Shanks, that was really helpful! Setting up a safety net to fall on due to distraction, loss of focus or becoming bored; you can fall back onto your predetermined agreed upon second subject of study. Elon Musk reckons he does that too. As soon as you feel a loss in focus, then change, don't fight yourself, listen. I find when i lose focus I will feel disappointed and millisecond later I am opening youtube to avoid my disappointment. A predetermined second piece of work may be my saviour, thank you Mr. Shanks all is not lost.
Thanks man You remind me of a few teachers when I was growing up that I loved. They managed to always just capture my attention because they were so spontaneous and genuine & knew how to have a laugh. I got to get better at producing vidoes more often on my channel so that's why I was looking through this channel for some motivation. Gonna take your advice and work in 10 minute blocks & just start working on SOMETHING for 3 minutes. You're an absolute legend!!
Il be honest I think because attention spans have decreased over time, it's probably much more valuable to be able to focus on tasks for longer periods of time
Yes we have to truly become balanced internally and make sure that we are committed to our goals and to our visions! We have all the power within us! Sending love, happiness and peace to everyone! 🙏
So I red pill my students, we constantly discuss higher order topics that involve concepts such as misinformation, political ethics, media, right/left wing extremism and the psychology behind, environmental concerns, etc. This is in Eng/Hum for reference. I've managed to do it so far and alleviate student concerns, but can't quite verbalise how...how do we deal with existential dread brought on by such concepts and ideas and then input that energy into attempting to resolve said issues? Essentially, any advice for introducing complex existential topics to those around us while inspiring to solve rather than freaking out. As I said, I think I've done well but I've struggled to identify what's working and what's not (work in progress). This advice could assist others in influencing their social spheres for a net positive impact in society as a whole.
I've resolved to comment on every video you release, hopefully, it will help the RUclips Gods smile on your channel. I liked the content in this video, I've certainly known the procrastination demon for a long time. Normally I battle it till I get into the 'zone' which is a state where it's blissfully easy to work on something, in fact, it's all I can think about. Having kids reaaaaaaallllly messes that up though, as now I have massive drains on my time. I'm trying to juggle studying medicine in Sydney (which is sadly all online at the moment due to lockdown) with parenthood. I use these videos as a refresher on morality and pragmatism. It means a lot to me that you're a self-made Australian of an age with me, because it shows me what I can be out and doing. Your success inspires mine, thanks for the channel!
Going down to the water, looking at nature and letting the great computer in your head unwind is also really helpful…..you don’t have to be going on…..it’s all there…..you don’t have to do anything for most of it……
Hey jordan what do i do in lockdown the days are melting together im losing track of time and i have had minimal social interaction i am keeping up with my tafe study online just scraping by with it and i cant even go to the gym something i do 6 days a week i feel so alone i dont have any family at home im 18 fresh out of high school and i feel like im just fucked
Aussie legend Mick Gordon talked about this in the URM Podcast (EP 261). He goes into detail about this Blocking Method and why it's so effective. I highly recommend listening to that podcast episode.
I must well have a problem procrastinating, mid-way through this I watched a whole-ass 13 minute long funny chinese music video just to procrastinate watching this video
I like the idea of trying to give up video games (even if its just a little bit) because they have pretty much taken over my life and i think i would do well to spend more of my day doing something productive than spending it behind a computer screen.
Apparently the best thing for everyone's productivity would be if Jordan stopped making these video because everyone's here instead of studying for their exams lol
Won't lie I think my boyfriends dexterity from gaming actually helps in the bedroom. But it's disturbing watching him play shoot em ups at the arcade for the same reason.

My favourite thing youve said is
The time will pass anyway. The question is, what are you going to be doing with that time.
you're going to be using that time to get to egypt
Cr1tikal applied this point to eating healthy which I thought was cool. The time is takes to eat the slice of cake will pass anyway whether you have it or not.
Yes. Let's stop procrastinating. Penny Wong for PM.
Certainly suffering from procrastination and loss of motivation after so much online schooling
Thinking of suing Jordan for defamation over all these insults he's thrown at me in these videos
Why hello there, Bruz

Every moment of the day I am looking deeply into the matter. deeper and deeper I will look now, deeper and deeper evermore.
Bwahaha thats what i found myself during assignment crunchtimes do some assignment, get my dishes done, a lil bit more assignment, then some other quick house work, back to assignment then do some warhammer modelling etc haha
Hearing "3 things a day is really good" was a weird punch to the gut but I love it, makes me wanna do 5 things a day now
Fuck yeah bro
I saved this video to my watch later list, ill get around to watching it eventually..
I needed this advice. Thanks Jordieboii
Like every other person commenting, I'm watching this instead of studying for my statistics exam 🙃

Jordan's starting to grow a bit of facial hair and so is his camera lense. Nah legit, great vid, procrastination advice is always handy
I wish you were on Locals instead of Patreon :( X
Let's put off what we need to get done by watching videos on how to stop procrastinating. 😄
Jordan Shanks is like if the bad guy from Red Eye started a self help channel.
I was just about to ask if anyone else was getting Cillian Murphy vibes?
Aussie legend Mick Gordon talked about this in the URM Podcast (EP 261). He goes into detail about this Blocking Method and why it's so effective. I highly recommend listening to that podcast episode.
you've convinced me, I'm signing up. I feel it's only fair as I've been watching your content for years.
Can you do a video on how to be a leader? I like leading and would like to improve
How do I stop looking at the bad sides of everyone,
I'll try this while working out today
Thank you
This video smooshed me with a brick
I must well have a problem procrastinating, mid-way through this I watched a whole-ass 13 minute long funny chinese music video just to procrastinate watching this video
How funny, I'm procrastinating my psychology essay to watch this

Oh shit watching this video is procrastinating.
THERE'S NO END TO THIS.
Oh lol I was thinking I only have 3 things to accomplish that’s not worth writing down... then you said 3 is good
Good idea mate i cant do half hour either.
I'm procrastinating while watching this.
I literally watch RUclips all fucking day.
I thought people used to die by getting crushed by pianos.
ty.
So does death. Unless you can procrastinate on dying.
We are the new goldfish.
@7:54 plus that half hour of videogaming will feel better because you won't be wracked with guilt for procrastinating and achieving nothing
haha you flapping your hands worked, Instantly got distracted when opening this video, and now I am an idiot XD also good advice thanks
Added to watch later
I like the idea of trying to give up video games (even if its just a little bit) because they have pretty much taken over my life and i think i would do well to spend more of my day doing something productive than spending it behind a computer screen.
Apparently the best thing for everyone's productivity would be if Jordan stopped making these video because everyone's here instead of studying for their exams lol
Every comment on videos about procrastinating: "I'm procrastinating by watching this video 🤪🤪🤪"
Won't lie I think my boyfriends dexterity from gaming actually helps in the bedroom. But it's disturbing watching him play shoot em ups at the arcade for the same reason.
I watch your videos at 1.5x speed exactly because I know my attention will die if I play it at normal speed.
I'll just watch this later
He seems stoned
I could watch the other procrastination vids.......just feels like to much effort.
i cant even keep my attention on this video
Talk to Destiny
Can't remember anything after the first 8 seconds
How come your fingertips look orange

Please write a script before you record and publish a video. Then your video's will be more succinct.
Then I'll subscribe.
jokes on you cause my attention span isn't fucked B)
does making even more procrastination videos make it procrastination?
Fine I'll give you money because of the last 3 minutes of pleading and the accent at the end of an old guy who must be wise because he is old.
Quick question, no shade - do you think you might have ADHD?
ahhhhhh. tell me in 10 words or less or I'm out
