    SUMMARY
    -The more distractions there are in your work environment, the fewer chances you have of getting anything done.
    -If the thought of doing a major task is overwhelming, try to break it into a couple of smaller ones.
    -Grab a timer, set it for 15 minutes, and start working. Once you begin, you'll get into it and forget about the time frames.
    -Pick the hardest task on your list, and do it first. The most difficult task is usually the one you'll procrastinate about the most.
    -If you have to study for a test, review one question, and then watch one RUclips video or 10 minutes of your favorite TV show.
    -When you surround yourself with driven and inspiring people, you want to do more to work toward your dreams.
    -Specialists say that the best way to manage your time is to write down everything from your tasks to your daily routines.
    -Moreover, research has confirmed that students who procrastinated during their academic term lowered their immune system's protection, developing way more colds, gastrointestinal problems, and even insomnia. Procrastination can also ruin your social relationships and destroy team projects.

    I agree. This video is very helpful. I think we get so caught up in work and school and making sure family is taken care of that we forget to take care of our own self task that will actually make life better for us and everyone around us.

    You become like the five people that you spend much of your time with. Choose your friends wisely. Do not accompany lazy people because they will affect you.
    Always tell your mind to focus on a specific task. When listening for example, do not think of the reply you're going to say, just listen.

  • @improvementhacker7024
    @improvementhacker7024 6 лет назад +3

    Great!
    I would like to add something. My recommendation is to focus on action. Procrastination are thoughts that prevent you from starting with the tasks/project.
    Action drives out thoughts. So I really recommend to start forming a habit that involves action regarding the tasks in stead of thinking about if you should start with the tasks. The tips Bright Side provides are great to get some action.

    Thanks bright side i really like all the videos you've made. I'm struggling from depression without knowing that the only reason is that from procasting something i should have done with. It cause me to have anxiety and fear in everthing. It is just something that eats me inside and just ruin my life. It affects also my social life i'm bounded with bitterness. Thanks a lot hope you inspire more and make videos that would relate many of us. Especially on this simple but serious problem. I also hope that everyone who just watched this video will make some great changes in their lives;) .

  • @tylerscudder9358
    @tylerscudder9358 6 лет назад

    I like the idea of trying to get stuff done in 15 minutes one because it gives you a sense of competition with other people and motivates you to try to do the work in 15 minutes. Not only that but you can get it done faster in a shorter period of time, less time spending on other stuff like video games or anime which is my weakness.

    I keep telling myself "ur gonna finish this 1 minute long animation today... or stay up all night doing this" and whenever I get time to draw or animate I don't want to do it anymore and just want to watch youtube. And no I don't have a artblock or animationblock. I'm a young furry artist that procastinates alot XD
