    And sometimes when you go to project plan... that's when you have to have the bravery, to look at where you're actually going and face it. You wanted the dream and now it's like "How much do you really want it? How much are you prepared to step outside your comfort zone and do this completely new thing and be in this completely new space?" It's easy to say "100%!" when you're not looking at it square in the eye. When you really get close to your dream there's the sudden last minute doubt, the creeping insecurities that say "Wow, that WILL be different, so much new responsibility, so many new things....Can I really handle this?" But you can, you just gotta break through the barrier of breaking it down into managable chunks, seeing it for what it is, and GOING FOR IT :)

    Procrastination makes easy things hard and the hard things harder. The greatest amount of wasted time is the time not getting started. A year from now, you wish you had started today. Hi guys! It's me again :) You might have seen me before but my desire to inspire more people is what keeps me pushing to reach out more. We own a cookie shop business in our college town. When we first started it, we just graduated college and were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. I started it out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second one currently under construction but launching soon!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams.

    Project Plan + YES,
    Visualization + YES,
    Socialize:
    I understand the accountability factor, but I think it also gives BIG PROCRASTINATORS a false sense of acomplishment...so I personally would heed caution about that one. But Brendon is the expert ;)

    • @FutileGrief
      @FutileGrief 5 лет назад +1

      I was going to say the same exact thing. Studies have shown that if you speak your goals, it will give a false sense of accomplishment that will make them think they already did the thing so they don't act upon it.

  • @leonguan1015

    Great tips, Brendon. I have a major objective coming up: cracking the Google Tech Interview in April & May. Initially, I was honestly overwhelmed by the opportunity on an hourly basis. Luckily, I watched your previous video on dealing with overwhelming. Since then, I have been consistently meditating every day. It does help along with some positive affirmation in the morning. Regarding procrastination, I have a timeline for each week until the end of April and I have been visualising what happens after I get an offer. I guess what I am lacking are a) visualising the preparation process - that's why I am procrastinating on harder algorithm topics, b) socialise my agenda with others - I guess I wasn't sure how to handle the "shame" if I don't get in and others might make joke about me because of it. So I would like to change and to share with you guys my objective. Thanks for reading this long thread.

  • @PracticalInspiration
    @PracticalInspiration 5 лет назад +114

    What I find amazing is procrastination is often a self defense mechanism to avoid stress or pain. The thing is our brain stops us taking action to avoid pain or difficulty, instead choosing comfort

    Making my bed is a big process, taking bedding off my bed washing my sheets blankets pillowcases underlay blah blah and than entails me hanging it on clothesline waiting all day for it to dry, the hard part putting underlay back on fitted sheet top sheet quilt cover on quilt, than on bed, pillows ugh 😩 pillowcases on pillows , finally decoration pillows ! End of this process is rewarding! Comfy bed and the very much needed vital sleep cause sleep is goals and sleep is life

    Just though about it, I am an achiever and has been like that from early on ....whenever I though something was hard and I still achieved it...came with a lag time, the procrastination time.... I keep trying and failing miserably even In the simplest stuff ....then suddenly it happens one day... I don’t even have to try ... I am on it.... feels like this three steps will help me cut that by huge margin

    Brendon, the first two factors you said is completely true and I can't agree with you anymore (and thanks for sharing it with us ) but the third one, I don't approve of it. When you tell people the thing that you're going to do, probably because they (your friends ) will give you a positive response like "oh that's great", your mind starts to consider that as a finished task and make you feel satisfied and accomplished. Thus when it comes to doing the task, you're out of motivation because your mind has already rewarded you!

    I am disabled and have difficulty recalling what is said or read. I have found taking notes and telling people about what I am learning from the notes really helos. And since I started sharing about my intentions I am doing more than just sitting. I am crocheting a baby snuggle blanket, and creating an Easter tree from papier maché. It really does motivate me to plan what I will do each day. Walking to check the mail and socialize is very challenging because I have learned that it means an entire evening and a day or two severe back and hip pain with fatigue. There are so many things that I can not do but The Brendon Show is really making g a difference in my life, one that I can share with friends and family too. You are really making the difference I want to make and I'm hooked on your presentations Brendon. You personal growth speeches on your show are priceless.

    Start recording your stream of consciousness.
    Do it for five minutes every day.
    Share your true self on RUclips
    And see how it'll turn into something
    you've never dreamed of.
