Step 3 - "work with someone" has had the biggest impact on my productivity. Have you tried that?
Great idea! I have for bigger tasks that involve lots of collaboration, but I haven’t tried it for smaller tasks.
I work with people over Teams a lot. I’m going to try this for smaller tasks by sending an “Accountability message” to a colleague who is loosely aligned with the task (e.g. engineer for a feature I’m writing document for) to say I’m starting on a task and then send them a follow up message 25 minutes later to update them on the progress: finished, more work needed, etc.
Its a technique people with ADHD use.
In programming the version of that is Pair Programming where only one person can touch the work and the other talk. So can share learning and also talking more than acting often solves things quicker
If I’m procrastinating on deep work, I do something I call Game Time.
4 quarters of work, roughly 1 hour each. 5 min planning + 45 min working + 10 min review.
Planning is writing down smaller tasks that add up to 45 minutes, the first of which is a very easy low-friction “kick off” task to get started.
Working is timed using a playlist. 45 minutes of music + 5 minutes of silence track + applause track. The 5 minutes of silence helps me come to a natural stopping point, noticing the music stopped. The applause gets my attention if I don’t notice the music stopped, and celebrates I got a little extra work done.
Reviewing is writing down what went well, what didn’t go well, what I need to focus on next. The extra time is used to take a break and move around.
Each quarter gets scored, with a total score for today’s game. Sometimes I only get one quarter in, sometimes all 4, it just depends on what’s doing on, but I force myself to get at least one done.
This is amazing! I love the applause track! I totally want to try this.
That's a Great idea, good one thanks!!!
I will try this. Thank you
This is Fire! Thank you! ❤️🔥
Genius!!
For my work:
- I start with a mental blob of “I need to do X”
- I write down “X” on a piece of paper
- Under “X”, I write a list of what that means
- Once an item on the list is a task that needs to get done, “Y”, then I create a separate list for “Y”
Very quickly, I seem to get to a small and simple task that I can do right now.
Sometimes, the task to do is to research something or try something in order to answer a question.
Once I am done doing whatever that task is, I go back to the list. I either keep breaking down the list or I keep moving onto the next thing I already wrote down.
In the end, I end up finishing whatever it was without really thinking about doing it or not doing it. I’m just like, “oh, I’m done. Cool!”
Then, I move onto the next thing.
In summary:
1 - Write down what you need to do
2 - Break it down further
3 - When you get to an item that you “just have to do”, do it
4 - go back to your list and repeat
This is really good advice.
To everyone reading this...I'm sending you positive vibes, good luck charms, and all the best wishes for your exams. May you ace every question, achieve remarkable results, and pave the way for a future filled with success and fulfillment.
Ah that’s nice! Best of luck to you too!
Fantastic breakdown of the four-step system to tackle procrastination! 🕒 Setting a timer to break the inertia and defining tasks clearly can truly transform overwhelming challenges into manageable actions.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! We appreciate the hard work that went into making this
Ah, thank you!
I have to say, you are constantly producing great quality videos. I have to imagine so much work went into these videos and they are simple things but you explain them so well and how to practically apply the steps in your life. Can’t wait to try this one out. Really appreciate your content and videos, I know your channel will blow up!
Aww man, thank you so much! This is really nice to hear. This comment makes all the hard work worth it :)
Awesome content Jay!
Appreciate it!
+1 subscriber, great video and your other content looks great too! I’m a firm believer in motivation not being a stable driving force, so I appreciate you talking about this. Editing is awesome!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words.
These are great tips! Setting a timer and working with someone have been game-changers for me. Thank you!
You’re welcome! :)
Thanks Jay !
You're welcome!
I consider myself the most procrastinating person in the world. But when I used the first and second steps, I noticed a significant improvement. I was hoping to come to this video at a very advanced time. It could have saved me a lot of money and time. I strongly advise applying the advice.
Thanks for sharing!

Great content and experience ❤thank you
Thank you too!
Dude you’re so freaking positive, straight forward, and speaking a lot of my language. Happy to join your email list.
Where is it? All I saw is your RUclips channel when I googled ya
Let’s go!!!
1. Define the task. Break it down to small chunk.
2. Set a timer. Work or study for 30 mins. Write a task list. 25 mins on and 5 mins off.
3. Do it with somebody else. Ex. Study group.
4. Keep score as "men keep points." How many tasks did you do? Celebrate your milestones.
Thanks for the info!
Let’s go!
Thanks!🙏🏽
You're welcome!

I want to say something, as the only straight A student (at this stage), surrounded by mostly C-D students. I think that what I do is not good. That I prioritize grades too much, which means I have lack of relationships, for example. I feel like I make a mistake by being a nerd, studying things that actually will be pretty unuseful later in life. At the same time, it’s a challenge for me, I push myself to see what I can do, what is my maximum level. So, being with people that study less, I feel superior (which I’m not very proud about, because it is ego and so on, but it motivates me. I like being better than others). However, there are some people whom I want to show my effort, so they think or say that I’m brave. In conclusion, I like being better, but not being called a nerd.
Pushing yourself to see what you can do is always a great strategy
Adina, do you have any opportunities to surround yourself with others who are aiming for high grades? There’s a saying that a person is a reflection of the five people with whom they spend the most time.
@@username00009 it would be hard, but maybe I would find somebody. However, do I really need it? That is the question... Because people are happy without huge marks, people are happy without knowing calculus or physical chemistry. I wonder..
Bro, new to your channel and subscribed . Got inspired by your great content 👍
Would like to know, how old are you bro ? .. You look so energetic and active , On 1st meeting listening to you , i am already inspired 😊
In my 40’s. When you spend your days doing things you love it’s easy to have energy. It also helps to work out and eat right :)
@@jaydwilliams Thanks bro for reply 😊. Noted. You are a big inspiration for me 🙏🏻
kudos
Thx
Hey, do you think that using a simple journal for all your work and education like taking notes is better than a system in notion or obsidian let's say. If it is can this be made in an app like notion and obsidian or it will get me distracted and I will want to make it more fancy and bs like that. If you don't mind, where do you recomend to save all of my notes and things i've taken as notes to be safe?
I’ve always found it harder to use notion or obsidian because of the distractions. The big benefit of using them is it makes it easier to review notes later. I’ve tried both and I find that I’m more likely to take better notes and review them later if they are hand written. I’d try the hand written if you aren’t used to doing them, and I’d also try notion and see which one you like better
A member of the D clan 😮... One Piece is becoming more and more real...
What’s this?
@@jaydwilliams One Piece is an Amazing Anime/Series… one of the greatest fiction ever told.. and in One Piece there are mysteries people who has initial D in their name. These people defies all norms and are truly free spirited.. And what the D stands for is one of the main mysteries in One Piece…

Can you please make a video on @1:50 (how to deal with overwhelming feelings)
Tell me more! What overwhelming feelings should I talk about?
i want to eat a donut and go to sleep
lol!😂
I think your video/audio is not in sync here, I feel like something is slighty off
It does seem slightly off…great feedback for next video
Why put off until tomorrow what you can never do?
Love this
Is it me or is your video and audio not synced properly
There’s some issues, it’s not you :)
Ugh just pay attention to the message, jfc
The feedback was helpful, I didn’t notice until after live, so I changed the way I recorded to fix it :)
Now that you’ve mentioned this, I can’t stop saying it. I had to work on something else to listen.
Dang
1 min
