If it's still asking for your card details, then try opening the link in an incognito tab on your laptop (not your phone). That should do it :)
Hi I watch your video and thanks for your video because I have a struggle in learning
How many awards have you won as procrastinator ?🧐
Love from India

Bro I want to ask a question??please answer..I study financial engineering ...in Kenya...and want to pass all my exams and start forex trading....can I just study everyday and skip class...is this a good idea???
No you are not😀😀
" I never loose either I win or I learn" 😉
@Student no, it was said by Nelson Mandela.
lose*
Yeah that's pretty good but I don't want to learn everytime. I want to win too.
Can you give me some tips for increasing confidence?
@@The_Tormented_One What's your age??

1. Minimum Viable Action, Break a very big task in a smaller tasks and complete those smaller tasks in a specific intervals, Imp things must be done first hence maintain a priority list by myself everyday.
2. Procrastination is a Choice, Do the opposite of what the brain wants, focusing on Long term rather than Short term, Jus like David goggins.
3. Be aware that your Procrastinating... and start doing coz starting instead of procrastinating drops the anxiety levels down to the point where it will almost be over.
4. Be aware of emotion of Procrastinating, Compare fear of doing(FOD) and fear of regretting(FOR) in the future and if FOR > FOD, you will get the motivation to do it.
5. Pay attention to my excuses, write down pros and cons within 2mins and do them according.
6. Remove all Distractions internal thoughts as well as external
Thanks. You saved me a lot of time.
Great day 🌞🌞
*Life is a book, where some chapters are hard, some are easy, some happy, some sad and some of them are exciting. If you never turn the page, then you will never know what the next chapter holds. All depends on the way of your preparation! Keep patience and never let your confidence go vain🙂... Trust me nothing is beyond your reach if you have strong motive to achieve something👍*
That is so true!
Yeah but I can't overcome low confidence yet...
@@The_Tormented_One Brother u can.. Try more and more, put efforts on this over and over again..... Never make your mind feel that " *My glass is half empty* ", Rather make sure that your mind always emits a positive vibe " *My glass is half-full* "
What a saying!
The easiest way to beat procrastination is remembering the 5 second rule.
Whenever you are going to procrastinate or distracted. Count quickly for 5 and get ur mind back to work quickly. Hope it helps.
@@astrielle446OH, I didn't know it doesn't work for few. But it worked out for me and my friends. Whenever we are about to get distracted or we feel we're carried away by distractions. We count for 5 and get back to work. I'm not sure if that could be the reason or not but it works out well for me
@@adoringprogress761 the mention of speed😂😂💯👌
It works for me when waking up In the morning when I don't want to wake up
@@Snowflake_flora it really does and another technique to wake up in the morning is keeping the alarm away from you so that you'll have a distance to turn it off and automatically you'll not have the feeling sleep again and you'll get to work
@@soumilswapna That helps you to get back to work soon :)
your previous title is now mine....." the worlds' greatest procrastinator"
Hand it to me it’s mine now 🥲

@@godscreature265 not really army but I love them
@@godscreature265 you know the ones who are real armys support BTS in any way possible like going to their concerts or by streaming their music videos and help them to reach top and they know about them so much , they love them and show interest in everything they do or the things which are related to them. But here I am , I do listen to their songs but I don't ever stream as much as others do. And I'm really scared to be called a fake army. Because you know Army is so important for them and I don't wanna call myself that if I don't deserve it . I hope you understand 😊
And I'm really sorry for this long reply or story 👉👈
But you asked for it😜😂

Appreciate the content bro. Just wanted to know whats your take on Nofap/Semen retention? Did it have any affect on your performance in college /in life?
My procrastination for me is doing chores or activities that I been postponed for a long time and then I finally got exhausted and didn't focus in the main task that would made my day.
Another motivating video 💖.
I've been procastinating on learning vocabulary to widen my active vocabulary in german. I know that learning vocabulary is my only way to jmprove my skills because that's what i've been lacking on. I'm scared that my strategies arent effective that's why i've been procastinating. I hope you can also give some advices or tips on how to study languages too. I'm gonna start this minimum variable action today. Wish me luck!

"Starting" is the hardest thing which makes you think that you can't do it. But after getting the start you become used to of that and it seems easier.
Lovely thanks a lot. I have subscribed

Thanks brother love form india to your videos
Bro you have a great communication and story telling skill make a video on how as a introvert we can develop that. It would help a lot
Appreciate your work man ❤️
Hello...thanks for your videos...they're very informative. Personally, I've been having troubles with studies. I used to study quite hard but recently, it's been overwhelming. I get lazy and bored right after I pick up a book to study. Usually, I feel uncomfortable with the environment, be it classroom or anywhere else. I just don't have the urge to study. I did try a lot of motivational videos including yours. I do get motivated right at the point of watching but then sometime later, the feeling comes back. It's just a mixture of a whole lot. I don't know how to study. Can you please help me with that? Thank you.
Thx a lot
Please make video on how to we healthy with studying for ours goals.
Thanks
The tips are great specially the first one
I'll watch this tomorrow.
I still haven't been able to end procrastination completely i still do it a lot but mostly because my focus span isn't very good, for which im trying out the pomodoro timer. Im not sure if its helping but we'll have to see for longer. However im doing better in terms of starting something which is basically the main problem of procrastination. Imma share what i did:
So firstly u need to understand why u procrastinate. Its because the task u need to do seems very overwhelming and difficult to do or u just don't know what to do. Or if the task seems too small and trivial u think u can do it later. So u want to do something easy like watching Yt or sleeping. But what if the task at hand didn't seem so hard, unknown and time consuming, yes you would probably not have such a hard time to start.
So say u gotta do a long 1000 words or 10 page essay/assignment or a 50 slide presentation. That sounds pretty hard so of course u wouldn't wanna start. So u need to divide the work in way u do only a portion of work. Not the way like u do one page a day like everyone says no because it doesn't make any sense. But basically start by on one session, plan out how ur gonna divide the work in different sessions, next session brainstorm ideas about ur project topic, another session seperate subtopics and think about the contents and how much to include, next session basically plan out whatever uve thought of how ur gonna execute it. See how many parts we've divided just the starting out part yes we purposely dwelled for a long time in preparations to begin. This familiarizes u with the whole project and gives u avery clear idea about what, where and how much u wanna do, u will also have an estimate of how long it will take it will also be easier to get urself to actually begin. One this noone mentions is its hard to start also if u have no idea what to do in the task. Now finally make up ur mind to do just one topic or even subtopic in one session. Since uve minimized the burden of such an overwhelming task to a clear and small amount per session, it will be easier to get urself to start. And maybe if ur in the grove u might even do more than intended.
But some might still face a problem with starting because the task is too small to ve considered a priority. For that what u can do is think ur gonna do one topic instead of just a subtopic so the task seems imp enough to make it a priority but not too overwhelming. But do it late at night or just with a time limit. Lets say u sleep at 12 or have to go out at 3, then start like an hour or 2 before the deadline so u can't get a full topic done. Let say u only got 2 subtopics done but u have to stop because u have to sleep or go out. But u actually startd doing it though bit was trivial. Doing this is like training ur brain to make urself start even if its unimportant and overtime u will be able to aleast do something per day ao in the long run u will have done a lot.
Your vid help me lot tq so much
🤜🤛 powerful words
please make a video on how to get not tired while studying and not to feel sleepy while studying
I am sure this vedio is so usually for Every one
3 days in lockdown already did me dirty. You guys don't understand how stressed out I am right now.
I have a really important exam and was procastinating about it's studying process.. but I guess I can manage to pull up my socks again towards it..
He has a really lit setup
I read the title and saved it to watch later and watched this after 1 month and you are saying that you are the biggest procrastinator
Hey Elon your videos are really nice, inspiring and straight to the point. But what about those of us who when studying hit a particular aspect we don't understand and loose all motivation to continue studying , what do you have to say about that
Yo...I like ur videos very much. Just one question is your class in skill share going to be free..like for how many days.
In my country which is the Philippines 🇵🇭 we call it a “MAÑANA HABIT”. Mañana is a Spanish word for “Later or Tomorrow “. Mañana Habit is procrastination turned into a lifestyle.
