Hey fellow binger. About a month ago I stopped buying cookies and pastries altogether. At first it was strictly to keep myself from indulging in eating fattning foods. I then realized that over time I was saving quite a bit of money in the process. By the way I still do have binge days. They just don't include eating junk food. I just eat the healthy foods that are in the house.I am not really very strong though. If someone comes to visit and brings me a pastry, I am going to eat that sucker.
@@patriciafisher3108 when it comes to binge-eating certain food, a lot of times it comes to food being forbidden and as we all know - forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. A really good advice is to legalize these types of food and give yourself full permission to eat as much of it as you want without feeling guilty. So you buy mych more of this food that you realistically could eat in a week. At first you're gonna eat a lot of it, so the next week you buy the same amount, but you end up eating less. After some time the appel of this product will wear off because it's not a guilty pleasure anymore. Chocolate used to be my favourite sweet but now I have a chocolate shelf. I didn't started it conciously, I was just buying a lot of different chocolate bars that were on sale randomly so I ended up having A LOT OF IT. Now I almost never crave it because I know that any time that I want it it's right there and I just have a piece or two and I won't binge and eat all of the bar. The downside is that most of the chocolate bars taste too sweet to me now because I started paying more attention to the way it tasted after it stopped being a way for me to escape in eating :( The advice in this video is on point, but I think that the relashionship with food is much more complicated topic and getting yourself inquires not just strating habits but reflecting on your eating behaviour in general. Also I just used watching this video about procrastination and writing this long ass comment as a way of procratination from studying for my exams. (Obligatory SoRrY FoR mY eNgLiSh note)
@@patriciafisher3108 Good for you. I am glad. This never worked for me, unfourtunately. I simply walked out of the door, even in the middle of the night, and bought something. Lucky for me I consider myself "healed", although I still have the urge sometimes.
Forbid yourself from buying them and always have ingredients to make your favourite type of cookies in the house. So if you really crave it, you have to bake it. When they're done, you either have a beautiful cheap batch of cookies you may indulge on, or, and that's more likely, you won't even be hungry enough to really binge and only have a few. After a while you'll stop making them altogether.
I mean, discipline for what? She could just wear her dirty laundry for work, but she wont do that, cause she is living with our society, and finds some rules for living with people. Procrastinating people are more productiv tho unhappier with what they are doing.
@@user-zv9no2my6j I used to be in your shoes. I used to unsubscribe from channels that put all caps in their titles etc etc... but one day I realised that that doesn't define the video or the channel. There was a channel called "Liam4theWinter", which made funny CoD zombies content, and so I overlooked my policy of full-caps titles. At the end of the day, I feel like annoyance is just a human emotion that gets in the way of something that can be overwise genuinely entertaining. For me, whenever I hear "Remember to like and subscribe!" I always consider it, even if I didn't already. And from research made by one of the Kliksphilip channels, discovered that it does genuinely persuade most people to like and subscribe. I think people like us who don't like it are the minority. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But I've gotta say it's certainly annoying when tutorials spend a minute telling you "Welcome!" And "Like and subscribe!" instead of getting to the point.
"Hack" indeed, though. It's great if you already have the ability to be constructive most of your time, with just some procrastination in-between. Then this method helps you re-establish the priority of doing the right thing first, and only when that's done do something else. And even if you have next to no productive habits in you, this will help establishing some better habits. But you should then be aware you are still major work away from making a real ingrained habit to do these things, as opposed to just doing them because you have no other options. So if you know you are not living life in accordance with your values, take the advice from this video, but integrate it into establishing your schedule (or priorities, or concentration on your tasks, or whatever it is that you want to get in order), and know you still need to do those things deliberately.
Eh in some situations we need our phones tho like emergency calls/texts, alarms or flashlight. Unless we buy those items but ain’t nobody got time for DAT. It’s a good concept though
if I throw the blanket back against the bed when I get up to turn off my alarm (aka "make my bed") that means I'll have to ruin that in order to get back in bed. works for me 🤷♀️
I have to set multiple annoying alarms on two separate phones, I will shut off the main alarm and not snooze but go right back to bed... across the room.
This reminded me of a very interesting Gabriel García Márquez quote i love, from his book "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" "i discovered that my obsession with having everything in its right place, in its right time, in its right manner, wasn't the reward of having an organized mind, but rather the opposite. It's a simulated system i created to hide the clutter of my nature. i discovered that discipline is not my natural virtue, but rather a reaction against my negligence, that i appear to be generous to hide my stinginess, that i appear to be prudent to hide my gutter mind, that i appear peaceful to hide my anger, that i'm always on time just so no one notices how little i care about other's time."
Whoa! Yes - exactly! Amazing quote. And so true. Thanks for sharing that, Pedro. It's an important thing to recognize, and I know personally I'm hardly conscious of it except for when looking backward.
Ok, I graduated college last year, but it literally took me until college to realize i didn’t understand studying. I think the path of least resistance is treating studying like going to a class or another activity. Block out the time in your schedule, and dedicate a specific place for studying. (“I’m going to work at the library, from 2-4pm, saturday”) Maybe beyond that, making sure that specific websites are blocked and putting your phone on do not disturb and burying it at the bottom of your bag. And also break down your studying into tasks. Yes, sometimes studying is reading, but it does absolutely nothing to stare at a book for two hours. Have a plan. When you’re terrible at self discipline it’s so much easier to just check things off a list. (i know it was long but hope this helped!)
I live with a roommate so the alarm clock trail wouldn't work for me (without pissing my roommate off) so I went out and bought a lock-box, cut a hole for a charging cable, and then set 5 alarms on my phone; 4 very quiet ones (just enough to wake me up) and one max volume, chaotic, screeching one.. at night I put my phone in the box, run the charging cable through the hole and then lock it, leaving the key next to the coffee maker. When the first alarm goes off I know I have 4 minutes to get up, get half-dressed, and get to the coffee maker or I'm gonna have to listen to that horrid screeching alarm.... and now that I'm standing by the coffee maker I might as well make coffee.
I’m wondering... surely you should have an alarm that goes off, and then another set 10 minutes in the future where your roommate would hear it? And so, whenever you wake up, you think “Shoot! I gotta stop that alarm before I wake them up!”
this video is only a guide that teaches people to hack THEIR habits. The one works for her, does not necessarily mean will work for you, You need to hack your own habit using the same formula, but different method. Maybe your problem is you order too much takeout, and that is the one thing that you need to hack. Maybe, deleting takeout apps, or something that will make it too hard for you to order.
@@vittoria4913 I think it could involve an other person like making them change your phone password and they would tell you it only when you sent them the finished essay ;)
I disagree with that. I don't work that way at all. I am motivation-driven. If I stay up late, there's a higher chance I will wake up by the alarm clock, cutting me off mid-sleep-cycle, potentially making me underperform to where I lose out on shit tons of money. If I sleep in, I lose out on shit tons of money. If I browse RUclips during certain hours of my job, I lose out on shit tons of money. If I eat anything on the job, I will be tired and I may lose out on shit tons of money. If I get too spendy, then it's taken out of my networth, which means I make less shit tons of money. If I wake up too early, I won't even play video games before a set ETA before work, because it will affect my dopamine and I may lose out on shit tons of money. So, get a better job, one that makes you want to get up before the alarm clock. I think most people are lazy because their lives suck and they don't see a way out.
@@alexde1619 Set the alarm clock one hour earlier (with snooze function every 5min) = morning workout and get up in time in one ;-) ... perfect for lazy minimalist morning grouches (like me)
Maybe make your bed right after you get out of it so you won't have to get back in and then have to make it again? Or maybe try making a coffee, it's definitely a good habit to wake up early in the morning. I've been doing it for a while, and it makes me feel like I have more time in the day.
Me though like nothing works. Sometimes I make my bed, wash my face, drink water and still decide « nope fuck this I’m going back to bed ». There was a time in high school when I would actually get fully dressed, shoes and all, and go back to bed until it was time to leave 😭
As a absolute procrastinator, who has gotten worse because of the pandemic, I am actually willing to give this a try. That says a lot and is a huge compliment, because self-motivation at this point means pretty much nothing to me, so doing something just because I have no other choice would actually work. Thank you!
iam liking, saving, and even downloading this video ❤️, my friends kept judging me for deactivating my social media accounts so i can focus more " and have no other choices but to get my things done"
@@りさ-j5q bruh HAHAHAH my room could only fit my bed and a desk. Very smallm so every night i would put my alarm clock in a box and tape it multiple times, put motivational quotes on top and around it, put chains and all that shit. By the time i had the clock out my sleepiness has already passed lmao
This is what I do with my breakfast. I hate leaving my bed in the morning, so normaly I would wake up at the last possible moment before I had to leave for work and stuff a piece of bread in my face. But now because I put all the ingredients for my oatmeal in a pan before I go to bed, I know I have to leave my bed earlier to cook my breakfast. And I look forward to the warm food, so leaving bed is way easier now. It feels relaxing now that I take time for myself before work.
Finally youtube did something good today no weird videos and horrible rip vine videos Thank you for recommending this to me i needed this good job RUclips 👏
Forcing yourself to be self-disciplined in the smart ways you have just portrayed takes way more brain power than I want to be using I wouldn’t ever have thought of setting different alarms in different places in my house. That’s a good one. Usually I would walk to where I placed the alarm and then flop back onto my bed, but setting separate alarms in separate rooms. GENIUS
Well, I've heard that the word determination is derived from Latin meaning literally "ruling out all other options/outcomes other than the one(s) you want to achieve ".
I've been living on my lazy ass since a couple of months having no job or not going to college. I've been depressed the whole time and I'm so sick of it now, that's how I got up to change things. It will get better!
I was in the same condition in 2016, after a short while I got severe depression as I had no goal or purpose. You’ll see right after you pick up something you’ll feel amazing! Wishing you the best of luck ❤️
I genuinely am so happy I don't need an alarm to stay up because I've been waking up at 5-6 ever since I was a little girl. Also, here's a tip. If you ever want to get into the habit of Waking up Early, then you should set your alarm for 6, or 7 am. Nothing later. Then, when your alarm goes off do not ignore it or turn it off and go back to sleep. It definitely makes you feel better when you have self discipline and get up right when your alarm goes off, even if you want to go back to sleep. That's usually what I do. And over the course of doing this daily for a couple months then you probably won't need an alarm anymore.
@@bublehnoodlez4469 You're like my husband. I think some people have biological clocks suited to waking up super early. For people like me, my body wants to stay up late and then wake up late. But being married has helped a little, now I feel pressured to sleep earlier because my husband does.
I've been doing this for years. There's nothing wrong with taking the path of least resistance if at the end of it you still reach your goal. The reality is that not everyone works the same way, this can be applied to studying as well. The method doesn't matter, what matters is that you reach your goal. For me it's very difficult to commit to one thing for more than like 20 minutes, but I figured out that I pay more attention to something if it's presented as a distraction, so I took up sculpting, just to keep my hands busy while listening and being focused on certain lectures. It worked.
Great video! Here's another hack for waking up early in the morning: lock your phone in a small box for the night, and put the key in the other room. This way, first you have to find the key to open the box and push the snooze button. This is the only way thay worked for me - putting the alarm clock or my phone in the other room wasn't enough (hitting the snooze and walking back to my bed to sleep was easier). Finding the key first helps me in the waking up process.
it's hard to apply this to studying, but try and appreciate how amazing you'll feel once you've just done it/finally started, meticulously plan so you know what you're going to do each day so you know you're on track. Try switching your phone off or putting it on airplane mode and make a rule for yourself that you're only allowed to switch it on once you get to the library, it's not exactly path of least resistance, but it'll help you get out of the house in the morning which deals with the hardest part - getting started
No but I’m always booked Friday and Monday because my assignments are due those nights. On a serious note I find it best if I restrict social media including RUclips until I finish and use it as a reward. That helps!
Block scheduling, break things up into smaller bite sized pieces or time blocks like giving it 30 minutes per subject daily or however much you can do so it gets done slowly over time vs all at once-and isn't overwhelming and still gets done without procrastinating because it seems too daunting to do.
Create separate users on your computer: one for studying and one for fun. Block social media and everything that distracts you on your work account. You *can* log out of it and log in into the fun account, but the path of least resistance is having your work done first. In extreme cases, have your roommate/friend/significant other make up a password for your fun account and log in for you every time
Ulysses pact! He made his crew tie him to the mast of the ship so he would not be tempted by the sirens song and subsequently lead them into destruction. Set your future self up for success by giving yourself little to no other option. Yes!
Dude I started watching your videos because I was procrastinating a lot. Now I just watch your videos on repeat because the cinematography is amazing. Also you’re extremely attractive. Has anyone mentioned that yet? Trust me, they’re thinking it even if they haven’t.
I'm 45. I absolutely LOVE that I'm not weird anymore. Lmao. The amount of stress one reduces in their lives living minimally and with really clear and easy ways to ensure tasks get done? Seriously don't know why more don't. Not cool enough yet I suppose. Hahaha.
Ha, cool ways! I always do things in parallel, so if I need to do Project 1, I procrastinate by working on Project 2 (because I‘d even rather do that than P1) 😅 so sth is always moving forward!
Now that I watched to end, I’m doing the same thing with my laundry. At my dorm, I got rid of all my clothes except for a weeks worth, that way I’m forced to do my laundry. I think the only thing to improve this, is also making it a positive feedback cycle. For example, I organize my closet by best fit clothes to least fit clothes. And I end up wearing my clothes in that order, cause I try to procrastinate wearing badly fit clothes. By the time I start wearing my badly fit clothes, I know I have to do laundry, and I get rewarded with getting to wear my comfortable clothes again.
I don't remember why or how this wound up in my To Watch, but finally watched this, and I will definitely be checking out more videos. Useful but also humorous!
This is awesome! Prepare yourself up to engage. Exactly what I do for work in the morning. Set the alarm with 3 staggered notifications and put it on the table out of reach
Can’t say I learned much, but instead this was a wonderful vindication of what I’ve been thinking. People will only do things if you give a good reason for them to do those things, and vice versa. Really nice video.
I genuinely appreciate you not stretching this out for 10 minutes. Not asking me to like and subscribe at the beginning, middle, and end. Not using a click-bait title with no substance (after wasting 10 minutes). And lastly that the content was actually good and applicable. Thank you so much! Reminds me of how youtube was 5-6 years ago (or however long it's been).
That last line just summs it all up really well. And also I love it when a youtuber doesn't waste your time to get viewing time and just tells what she gotta tell and leave. You, ma'am, have a well deserved like and subscribe
I watched this video and I loved it. I was sure that I clicked subscribe. Later I settled myself with a cup of tea, ready, to really binge your videos and no my dodgy trackpad had failed. I got RUclips distracted. But this video lived on in my consciousness and I refound your channel by searching my history. I'm properly subscribed now :) Thanks for making this vid
This concept works 100%. In the end, you will only do things that you really want to do. Make sure you know WHY you want to do something. Remind yourself (with notes) often so you have concrete reasons.
@@descai10 yea, studying math independently/distance is way more fun than anything when you don't have a phone/social media or favorite games (and anything else when it's good flow for that matter)
basically don't think of it as punishment or something to dread but instead, think of self-discipline as an improvement method that will provide you positive growth
The consecutive alarm clocks is actually genius. Put an alarm clock in the bathroom, so that when you go turn it off, you'll take less energy to just pour water on your face than going back to bed !
Wow! You found the key to my discipline! Self restraint in eating & buying and self punishment for an impending reward and treat later on. P.S: A tip for doing laundry earlier in the day is to run the machine while you run a mile in the neighborhood so that when you finish, the laundry is done! :)
Reminds me of how i couldn’t stop ordering out food all the time (mostly junk food) so I went vegan to nix out all my favorite places/go-to meals (burger/milkshake, chinese food, breakfast bagels, etc)
I stopped smoking by running out of cigarettes and not buying more (laziness win). I went on a 7 hour trip to New York on a whim after about an hours worth of consideration beforehand (impulsiveness win). I think the key is just knowing how your brain operates and exploiting it where necessary
I workout and eat well. Does that make me disciplined? I don't really feel like it, I guess I was told I'm lazy all of my life and now even when I am not, I still feel lazy.
Yep that's me. I will do it, but only if i have to. The problem is, there's a surprising amount of things i can live without doing... however, there's always consequences.
Throw your books all over your bed or wherever you're sitting after getting home so your fav spot will be occupied and you won't sit there so you won't get yourself too comy before you're done with your school work. And try to study just after getting home but ofc eat first and DRINK. SOME. WATER. I sometimes start watching some Netflix "I'll be watching only while I'm eating" and then I can be stuck until the midnight (no joke) so maybe try to don't use your phone after getting home? Just focus on the exact moment, absorb and feel this amazing flavour of your food. And when you're done, do your homework with focused and relaxed mind. And remember that your brain connects places with tasks, so always have one place where you focus, another to eat, other to sleep, other to relax etc., etc. so your brain won't mix these tasks
Instal "stay focus" app, instal app of your internet access, block internet on you'r pc at certain time of the day then block the app of your internet access with stay focus (and also chrome/instagram/fb and others stuff u use to distract urself aswell as playstore). Then u have no other choice than going outside, clean the house or studying. :) Edit : oh and if u have a TV, throw it in the ben, u dont need this shit in ur life :x
@@monkiram Another method is to not think about it and just let your body move for you. Don't think whether you feel like it or not and don't contemplate, just let your body do the work for you, your brain included because you'll be needing to remember the information.
This theory is hard to structure around your life because it is strictly circumstantial so no one can tailor a plan for you which means that in the process of making these plans, you will have a bias against some of the things that you very much dislike but are seemingly beneficial. I like this theory regardless, it's hard to execute properly but makes life less dreadful in the long run because of the benefits. The question is how can we decide what to do to implement this for our own benefit.
I tried the alarm clock thing and now I sleep in the bathroom.

Thats the realy question.

I’m wondering... surely you should have an alarm that goes off, and then another set 10 minutes in the future where your roommate would hear it? And so, whenever you wake up, you think “Shoot! I gotta stop that alarm before I wake them up!”
@@MrRobotman That's a good idea too!
@@P4R4D0X1337 Thanks! 👍
We're reaching levels of laziness that are breaking the laws of physics.
😱what! 😂
"the least resistrance" phrase 😂
I used to put the clock alarm out of my bedroom, then I just had to wake up, turn it off and go to bed again. She is just a begginer...
if there ain't nothing but salad in my fridge I am 3000 times more likely to order takeaway
Same, unless it's the end of the month and I'm short on money. Then I'm eating that dumb salad, but you can be sure I won't be enjoying it xD
this video is only a guide that teaches people to hack THEIR habits. The one works for her, does not necessarily mean will work for you, You need to hack your own habit using the same formula, but different method. Maybe your problem is you order too much takeout, and that is the one thing that you need to hack. Maybe, deleting takeout apps, or something that will make it too hard for you to order.
Not so funny fun fact: I watch this video instead of writing a 3000 words essay which I have to send to my professor tomorrow...
Oh nooooo! Don't do that! 😧
Same here 🙈 my phone is my biggest distraction. I think I will turn it off now and but it some place in the house that is hard to reach :p

Your video reminded of this quote that I once read- "We don't rise up to the level our goals, we fall to the level of our systems!"
Thank you!
from book Atomic habits.
Great!
M T good quote
I disagree with that.
I don't work that way at all. I am motivation-driven.
If I stay up late, there's a higher chance I will wake up by the alarm clock, cutting me off mid-sleep-cycle, potentially making me underperform to where I lose out on shit tons of money.
If I sleep in, I lose out on shit tons of money.
If I browse RUclips during certain hours of my job, I lose out on shit tons of money.
If I eat anything on the job, I will be tired and I may lose out on shit tons of money.
If I get too spendy, then it's taken out of my networth, which means I make less shit tons of money.
If I wake up too early, I won't even play video games before a set ETA before work, because it will affect my dopamine and I may lose out on shit tons of money.
So, get a better job, one that makes you want to get up before the alarm clock.
I think most people are lazy because their lives suck and they don't see a way out.
Thanks great quote. As an IT designer really hits home
If I only have salad in the fridge, I definitely just order delivery. I have tried to trick myself many, many times and I always outwit myself.
try to make salads tasty? throw in some spinach or other green stuff you wanna use with some pasta and it's easier and fills me up for longer
Spend all your money and max your credit card limit , when you have no money you wont order delivery 🤣🤣😂
Stephanie R try eatting one candy a day. Do it for a month. You like candy and limiting your self to one per day make you more discipline.
I actually like salad.
Then you have to outwit yourself outwitting your self.
Thank you, RUclips algorithm. She can definitely stay.
Yup lol

Me: Went back to bed, after stopped the alarm clock. -.-
Omg, so me! ;-; Maybe there is a way for that too though
@@alexde1619 Set the alarm clock one hour earlier (with snooze function every 5min) = morning workout and get up in time in one ;-) ... perfect for lazy minimalist morning grouches (like me)
Maybe make your bed right after you get out of it so you won't have to get back in and then have to make it again? Or maybe try making a coffee, it's definitely a good habit to wake up early in the morning. I've been doing it for a while, and it makes me feel like I have more time in the day.
Place the alarm clock beside the sink
Me though like nothing works. Sometimes I make my bed, wash my face, drink water and still decide « nope fuck this I’m going back to bed ». There was a time in high school when I would actually get fully dressed, shoes and all, and go back to bed until it was time to leave 😭

ive been procrastinating like, a lot and suddenly, baam, this is on my recommendation. is this a sign or is god or what ever tf is mocking my life
Or the RUclips algorithm
Google knows which people are the absolutely lazy morons like us, so we get suggested this.
It's a sign of google knowing you spend too much time on Netflix and RUclips.
Google watching u bruh thts it... u have a web cam dont ya
Its a sign that the extra time you've been spending on RUclips has not gone unnoticed by Google's analytics
As a absolute procrastinator, who has gotten worse because of the pandemic, I am actually willing to give this a try. That says a lot and is a huge compliment, because self-motivation at this point means pretty much nothing to me, so doing something just because I have no other choice would actually work. Thank you!
iam liking, saving, and even downloading this video ❤️, my friends kept judging me for deactivating my social media accounts so i can focus more " and have no other choices but to get my things done"
Same, some people are just not built like that, not strong enough to resist urges
"put your alarm clock on the opposite of your room" well the opposite of my room doesn't even require me to stand up that's how small my room is lmao
Tape it to the ceiling lmao

@@りさ-j5q bruh HAHAHAH my room could only fit my bed and a desk.

Also putnin under the bed
the best anti-procrastination video on the internet (and now i might have to turn it off to actually DO the stuff :D thank you for a kick)
This is what I do with my breakfast. I hate leaving my bed in the morning, so normaly I would wake up at the last possible moment before I had to leave for work and stuff a piece of bread in my face. But now because I put all the ingredients for my oatmeal in a pan before I go to bed, I know I have to leave my bed earlier to cook my breakfast. And I look forward to the warm food, so leaving bed is way easier now. It feels relaxing now that I take time for myself before work.
Category should be "hacking" lmfao.
Quality advice
Lol
"Atomic Habits" by James Clear is a great book about this! love this vid
Elizabeth Sluka I thought of the same book throughout the video! I have the book and will start to read it... sometime.... sooon?
Finally youtube did something good today no weird videos and horrible rip vine videos
Thank you for recommending this to me i needed this good job RUclips 👏
Excellent video. Well-spoken, shot and paced. Very simple. Very clean ^^ Very helpful
This works. I can confirm. I've been doing stuff like these for over 2 years
Forcing yourself to be self-disciplined in the smart ways you have just portrayed takes way more brain power than I want to be using I wouldn’t ever have thought of setting different alarms in different places in my house. That’s a good one. Usually I would walk to where I placed the alarm and then flop back onto my bed, but setting separate alarms in separate rooms. GENIUS
Well, I've heard that the word determination is derived from Latin meaning literally "ruling out all other options/outcomes other than the one(s) you want to achieve ".
I've been living on my lazy ass since a couple of months having no job or not going to college. I've been depressed the whole time and I'm so sick of it now, that's how I got up to change things.
It will get better!

@@gilly_axolotl thank you so much, that means a lot to me!
@@kdark6309 thank you so much! I will try :)
I think I need to try the multiple alarms leading me to the bathroom or something cause I still go back to sleep when my alarm is across the room.
Yeah, either bathroom or the fridge :D
In my case I think I need them to lead me outside my house or sth >.
I genuinely am so happy I don't need an alarm to stay up because I've been waking up at 5-6 ever since I was a little girl. Also, here's a tip. If you ever want to get into the habit of Waking up Early, then you should set your alarm for 6, or 7 am. Nothing later. Then, when your alarm goes off do not ignore it or turn it off and go back to sleep. It definitely makes you feel better when you have self discipline and get up right when your alarm goes off, even if you want to go back to sleep. That's usually what I do. And over the course of doing this daily for a couple months then you probably won't need an alarm anymore.
@@bublehnoodlez4469 At what time do you go to bed?
@@bublehnoodlez4469 You're like my husband. I think some people have biological clocks suited to waking up super early. For people like me, my body wants to stay up late and then wake up late. But being married has helped a little, now I feel pressured to sleep earlier because my husband does.
How to achieve "Supreme Procrastination"
I've been doing this for years. There's nothing wrong with taking the path of least resistance if at the end of it you still reach your goal. The reality is that not everyone works the same way, this can be applied to studying as well. The method doesn't matter, what matters is that you reach your goal.
For me it's very difficult to commit to one thing for more than like 20 minutes, but I figured out that I pay more attention to something if it's presented as a distraction, so I took up sculpting, just to keep my hands busy while listening and being focused on certain lectures. It worked.
i like you!
Same here 😍
Get in the line
Is this a pickup line?
Great video!
Here's another hack for waking up early in the morning: lock your phone in a small box for the night, and put the key in the other room. This way, first you have to find the key to open the box and push the snooze button. This is the only way thay worked for me - putting the alarm clock or my phone in the other room wasn't enough (hitting the snooze and walking back to my bed to sleep was easier). Finding the key first helps me in the waking up process.
thats genius but does anyone have advice on how to apply this in studying/reading/getting applications done?
stay at a library. i feel like i can't NOT do something if everyone around me is studying so hard lol
it's hard to apply this to studying, but try and appreciate how amazing you'll feel once you've just done it/finally started, meticulously plan so you know what you're going to do each day so you know you're on track. Try switching your phone off or putting it on airplane mode and make a rule for yourself that you're only allowed to switch it on once you get to the library, it's not exactly path of least resistance, but it'll help you get out of the house in the morning which deals with the hardest part - getting started
No but I’m always booked Friday and Monday because my assignments are due those nights.
On a serious note I find it best if I restrict social media including RUclips until I finish and use it as a reward. That helps!
Block scheduling, break things up into smaller bite sized pieces or time blocks like giving it 30 minutes per subject daily or however much you can do so it gets done slowly over time vs all at once-and isn't overwhelming and still gets done without procrastinating because it seems too daunting to do.
Create separate users on your computer: one for studying and one for fun. Block social media and everything that distracts you on your work account. You *can* log out of it and log in into the fun account, but the path of least resistance is having your work done first. In extreme cases, have your roommate/friend/significant other make up a password for your fun account and log in for you every time

I don't want to be the "this video changed my life" guy, but this video has definitely impacted my life positively. Thanks!
Dude I started watching your videos because I was procrastinating a lot. Now I just watch your videos on repeat because the cinematography is amazing. Also you’re extremely attractive. Has anyone mentioned that yet? Trust me, they’re thinking it even if they haven’t.
I'm 45.
I absolutely LOVE that I'm not weird anymore. Lmao.
The amount of stress one reduces in their lives living minimally and with really clear and easy ways to ensure tasks get done? Seriously don't know why more don't.
Not cool enough yet I suppose. Hahaha.
Ha, cool ways! I always do things in parallel, so if I need to do Project 1, I procrastinate by working on Project 2 (because I‘d even rather do that than P1) 😅 so sth is always moving forward!
I do the same thing! I call it productive procrastination.
Now that I watched to end, I’m doing the same thing with my laundry. At my dorm, I got rid of all my clothes except for a weeks worth, that way I’m forced to do my laundry. I think the only thing to improve this, is also making it a positive feedback cycle. For example, I organize my closet by best fit clothes to least fit clothes. And I end up wearing my clothes in that order, cause I try to procrastinate wearing badly fit clothes. By the time I start wearing my badly fit clothes, I know I have to do laundry, and I get rewarded with getting to wear my comfortable clothes again.
I don't remember why or how this wound up in my To Watch, but finally watched this, and I will definitely be checking out more videos. Useful but also humorous!
This is awesome! Prepare yourself up to engage. Exactly what I do for work in the morning. Set the alarm with 3 staggered notifications and put it on the table out of reach
Could not concentrate on your talking because I was too focused on Oscar Petersons C Jam Blues

I agree with you 100 percent. This is exactly what I've been researching and trying for the past year
Let's spread this!
Can’t say I learned much, but instead this was a wonderful vindication of what I’ve been thinking.
People will only do things if you give a good reason for them to do those things, and vice versa.
Really nice video.
I relate. If I don't have a good reason for something, then I have zero motivation for it
I love how minimalist your flat is.
I genuinely appreciate you not stretching this out for 10 minutes. Not asking me to like and subscribe at the beginning, middle, and end.

Reminds me of how youtube was 5-6 years ago (or however long it's been).
Very interesting idea. I am going to look for ways to incorporate this concept into my life. Consecutive alarms - ha, that's a good one!!

Great advice. First heard it from Scott Adam's in How to Fail at Everythi g and Still Win Big when he talks about systems over goals.

I watched this video and I loved it. I was sure that I clicked subscribe. Later I settled myself with a cup of tea, ready, to really binge your videos and no my dodgy trackpad had failed. I got RUclips distracted. But this video lived on in my consciousness and I refound your channel by searching my history. I'm properly subscribed now :) Thanks for making this vid
This concept works 100%.
In the end, you will only do things that you really want to do. Make sure you know WHY you want to do something. Remind yourself (with notes) often so you have concrete reasons.

Wow! You found the key to my discipline! Self restraint in eating & buying and self punishment for an impending reward and treat later on. P.S: A tip for doing laundry earlier in the day is to run the machine while you run a mile in the neighborhood so that when you finish, the laundry is done! :)
this is how i try to approach most problems, i like ur thought process
Loving your videos! Binge watching while procrastinating 🤣 That radiator won’t paint itself 🙁

Hi 😊 I just found your channel & I love your videos! Such a fresh perspective ✨🙌
Reminds me of how i couldn’t stop ordering out food all the time (mostly junk food) so I went vegan to nix out all my favorite places/go-to meals (burger/milkshake, chinese food, breakfast bagels, etc)
I stopped smoking by running out of cigarettes and not buying more (laziness win). I went on a 7 hour trip to New York on a whim after about an hours worth of consideration beforehand (impulsiveness win).
I think the key is just knowing how your brain operates and exploiting it where necessary
I workout and eat well. Does that make me disciplined? I don't really feel like it, I guess I was told I'm lazy all of my life and now even when I am not, I still feel lazy.
basically my work philosophy, outsmarting the weak willpower, cheers for spreading the message! ;p
Loved it!!
This video has changed my life
Bloody brilliant. This makes great use of our weaknesses, and uses it to our advantage, turning procrastination around.
Yep that's me. I will do it, but only if i have to. The problem is, there's a surprising amount of things i can live without doing... however, there's always consequences.
*sing* a whole new woooorrrlldddd!!
but how do i plan studying with this method?
Throw your books all over your bed or wherever you're sitting after getting home so your fav spot will be occupied and you won't sit there so you won't get yourself too comy before you're done with your school work.
And try to study just after getting home but ofc eat first and DRINK. SOME. WATER. I sometimes start watching some Netflix "I'll be watching only while I'm eating" and then I can be stuck until the midnight (no joke) so maybe try to don't use your phone after getting home? Just focus on the exact moment, absorb and feel this amazing flavour of your food. And when you're done, do your homework with focused and relaxed mind.
And remember that your brain connects places with tasks, so always have one place where you focus, another to eat, other to sleep, other to relax etc., etc. so your brain won't mix these tasks
Instal "stay focus" app, instal app of your internet access, block internet on you'r pc at certain time of the day then block the app of your internet access with stay focus (and also chrome/instagram/fb and others stuff u use to distract urself aswell as playstore). Then u have no other choice than going outside, clean the house or studying.
:)
Edit : oh and if u have a TV, throw it in the ben, u dont need this shit in ur life :x
Study just for 5 minutes and as much as you can. That will trick your laziness and you'll want to do a whole study session.
@@Pumpkin0_0 That doesn't work for me. My brain isn't fooled, it worked a couple of times but now it's on to me.
@@monkiram
Another method is to not think about it and just let your body move for you. Don't think whether you feel like it or not and don't contemplate, just let your body do the work for you, your brain included because you'll be needing to remember the information.
This left me smiling , thank you 👌❤
THIS. IS. GENIUS.
Omg this is SO similar to my theory called "Setting Yourself Up for Success"! Thank you for sharing this in such a comprehensive way
This theory is hard to structure around your life because it is strictly circumstantial so no one can tailor a plan for you which means that in the process of making these plans, you will have a bias against some of the things that you very much dislike but are seemingly beneficial. I like this theory regardless, it's hard to execute properly but makes life less dreadful in the long run because of the benefits. The question is how can we decide what to do to implement this for our own benefit.
