      This is actually true. If I have a large project to do over a long period for my college work then I actually have an easier time right before it's due because I understand the concepts within.
      It's like being tasked to do a project on Nazi Germany and then waiting for all the lectures to happen and after you have all the knowledge you have an easier time writing about it.

    I once went to a class where there were 5 essays due that day. I, being the lazy person that I am, hadn't done any of them. Yet, I managed to do them while every other student was reciting their essays. I didn't even know what the subject of every essay was, I just heard what other people were saying, and wrote similar stuff. It was quite bad because I was anxious at first, but the feeling of getting away with something you absolutely shouldn't is exhilirating.

      Not really, LSD and Marijuana as well as Shrooms and Salvia are Hallucinogenics. LSD is more likely to give you nausea and it will make it very hard to focus on anything. You are also likely to start hearing or seeing things which is less than ideal. Cocaine however, causes hyper alertness and extreme happiness and energy. The hallucinogenic drugs I mentioned before will definitely make you less productive. Cocaine is different as it is a stimulant drug such as Amphetamine, Meth and Heroin, and has completely different effects to hallucinogenics. The third type of drugs, the empathogens, or "social drugs" such as Ecstasy won't really help either with procrastination, but it shouldn't have as negative effects on procrastinators as hallucinogenics as hallucinogenics usually relieve the taker of worries and stress so they are way less likely to do anything about their problems as they simply forget about them. Ecstasy is just more likely to make you socialize and make you more emotional than usual, which might help while writing a poem or song, or doing any art for that matter.

    In high school I didn’t start any of my Biology 2 power points until the night before. I read up on the subject and watched videos on it casually throughout the week, and the night before I would make the entire PowerPoint in 2 hours. I was the only one that could talk about each slide for several minutes even though I only had a sentence or two on them because I just remembered so much of all the random facts I read. Got an A. Every time. Classmates hated that the teacher would praise my work all the time for “being so well thought out and hard worked.” 😂

But, when I'd finished the to-do list, I realised it was useless since I had spent three weeks making it and now only had a week to do all those tasks. I spent the last week making a new to-do list for the week... Procrastination Paradox.

      Maybe try the “ABC-123 to-do list” method. Try Googling it & seeing if it works for ya. It’s all about figuring out your urgent priorities, but also making sure you’re still doing things you enjoy so you can hopefully avoid burnout & that feeling of overwhelming avoidance.

    Procrastinated by procrastinating on watching this video..lol. Jokes apart, nice video there Thoughty2. I kinda not agree with the title - Procrastination can never be good for you. I was a procrastinator all my life..right from school, college then uni and then the job life... i've just been "keeping things for later" and that kinda not help me in progressing in life. Took me long time to realize but i finally found my path. A life without procrastination, where "getting things done" become your second nature... is so amazing! A bliss. I play a little mind "Game" that I learned from John Isaac's amazing book "Procrastination Elimination Method"...so whenever i feel that im gona procrastinate on a task, i start playing this "game" in my mind that reframes the whole task and makes it a whole lot easier for me to work on the task, instead of letting my mind say "i'll do it later". It's not the same as visualizations, which is less powerful IMO.

      My way of procrastinating is by writing. I want to be an author. I found a loophole in it. I start two books (now on to 5) and when I procrastinate on writing one, I write the other. Then when I don't do that and figure out what i'm doing, I do homework. Then when I realize i'm procrastinating, I go back to writing. Idk how it works, but it does. Not to mention, watching random videos to procrastinate give me ideas for the book where I continue them and stop procrastinating. So in reality i'm a non procrastinating procrastinator (if that makes sense).

    I wont think that thoughty2's videos will ever be a waste of my time.
    Even if it was I wont mind to waste my time watching his videos.
    It's far more interesting, educational and informative for me than the few things discussed at school with only little to no more ideas or information give.👌🏻🧏🏻‍♀️

    Thanks for the advice. Stopped at 01:30 and decided to procrastinate for a long while, before continuing with the rest of the video. Shouldn't be a problem, since I already heard your important recommendation.

    This video is a year old. It has kept on popping up in my recommended videos, but I kept putting off watching it until now. I was going to just watch the first five minutes of it, but ended up watching the whole thing in one sitting!

    I just realized I procrastinate everyday. I'll study later, I'll do that later, so on. My parents get so mad at me. Now I have an excuse.

      An excuse they still won't want to hear or accept. It's not whether you are right or wrong. It's that they're convinced they know better.

    Ive also noticed that alot of times when im procrastinating, im also thinking about maybe a current project im working on, and the next step to accomplish it. I think about the road blocks that might occur and how to get past them too. Ive always been a procrastinator. I think alot of times it is a hinderence, but also helps to have that blue print in my brain instead of blindly diving in

    Very inspiring video, I will give a try to the „start for 5 minutes“ rule...
    I only want to mention that - as far as I know the story - Ulysses was tied up in order to be able to hear the sirens, only his crew had their ears blocked...
    ...so if the sirens sing seductively their invitation to procrastinate you can either listen to them and do nothing (to alleviate your stress) or you can block your ears and start rowing...
