Such a great short talk! Love how you explained procrastination and how simple your action plan is to overcome it. I will definitely be using some of these techniques... Time to start forgiving myself on any past procrastination 😉 thanks for sharing!
the technique ``one space one use`` has been very handy for me during bringing up my child, but never thought of it in relation to productive and focused work, which is just great. The highlight of this video for me is the technique 10-10-10, which will definitely help me to picture myself in future, as well as reflect on my behaviours and actions afterwards. Thank you Nanuli.
Thanks a lot for your comment, Janne! Music, in general, tends to divide people. So does background music - some like it, others don't. Personally I'd like to see RUclips introduce a feature where the viewer can toggle the music on and off like one can do with subtitles. I will put more time into finding relaxing music. Please share if you have any recommendation or examples where it is done right.
@@DrNanuli In my humble opinion, the general best practice is not to use any background music when you are talking. You may use music in intro, outro, or when you show video clips and are not talking at the same time. If you still choose to use continuous background music throughout your video, you should at least tune the volume very low, when you are talking (and it makes more sense to mute it altogether, than have this low 'noise', I think). A tip here is to gradually increase/lower the volume during transitions, so that the changes are not too abrupt. What makes background music worse in your situation is that your microphone setup is not as good as it could be. The reason some people use background music, when they are talking, is to muffle their speech a little bit. They think it makes them sound better, hiding some pronunciation errors or vocal hiccups. It is precisely this muffling effect that makes listening to the information more difficult, and does a disservice to your message. Any good example I could show you would have no background music during talking. You have a good speaking voice, trust it to carry your message.
I think it's impossible to have study or work breaks especially where you're working in a restraint society. And for international students who also double as workers in low paying jobs the issue of procrastination is replaced by outright despair. Even study psychologists worsen the situation because they only discuss how to balance studies and work and nothing more. Sadly the student who's forced to work more with their hands and never their brain will not make it well in both indulging and restraint societies.
Thank you very much, Sharon, for your insightful comment! I can totally relate to what you are saying. During my Master's studies I worked in a restaurant as a waitress to support myself. And I agree that what you describe is a very common experience for a lot of students, having to constantly balance myriad of jobs and responsibilities. I believe most of us have been in the state of despair, me included. What helps me in these situations is to remind myself of all the things that I am grateful for, all the opportunities that await us and that this is a very brief life and I should do my best to be joyful and enjoy it. How do you deal with such situations?
Once again an excellent video Dr. Nanuli!
Dear Dr. Malmberg, I appreciate your feedback greatly!

Excellent and helpful video, thank you. Horrible, distracting background music, though.
