Hi everyone,

If anyone suffers with procrastination, or if people are just looking for another quite interesting perspective on the phenomonom you should watch this brief discussion of the subject, which could end up helping on matters related with procrastination.

YouTube - Procrastination...

You have absolutely no ****ing idea how much your post helped me at the right moment in my life.

I am starting university in 2 days, and even before trying I knew that I was bound to fail because I felt that I HAVE TO go to college and get good marks.

I am not exaggerating. This particular advice ,that I don't have to do anything in my life , was the exact thing that I needed for my whole life.

I had even purchased the book "The Now Habit", and it didn't work.

Thank you so much for this.

Again you don't have the slightest idea how much your post helped me in this crucial point in my life.

Like most things with personnal growth or development sometimes it all tends to get very complicated and with all honesty thats what I found with this video, and is probably why I only made it through about ten minutes of it.

There seems to be a trend to delve deep down into our pasts to find answers to modern day problems, when all I recomend is around thirty minutes of looking at your belief on the matter.

Why we procrastinate

We will do this with almost anything that appears work like, boring or tedious etc, we will even do it if it is an interest, past-time or hobby.

We never procastinate when it comes to a good night out, a holiday or a date
even as these are associated with pleasure and excitment.

What we need to do when we procastinate is find something that will make the task more fun, look at what the finished article will look like and how it will improve you life.

Its only work when you look at it as work and it is always fun when you look at it as fun.

The answer is very simple, and it's in at the 22 minute mark. The explaination is just to lay the foundation of the simple truth the presents. Then spends 8 minutes enhancing and enforcing the simple truth. The way he puts it together seems more complicated, but it really has the message sink in.

If he just had the message, which fits in 6 words, then it wouldn't have the impact it did.

Im glad you liked it. Seeing all those 30 day challenge threads made me think of the idea presented in this video. But im glad for those who found it helpful. It is really the original creater you should thank though

Something I am finding really helpful right now is whenever I think "I should ..." or "I have to ..." I immediately stop myself and repeat "No I don't. I don't have to do anything. I want to do ..... because ....." This picks me right back up and gives me the motivation to do it.

It doesn't mean I don't put things of for another time, but even over the past two days I've been spending my time more productively.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO...
lol!

I made this thread today and this "have to" is my problem.

What's wrong with me? Great business but..

I feel like I have to do the promotion to finish the project but really if I think about it, of course I don't need to but hey I want! Once the promotion is in place, the marketing will be done by others (affiliates).

Thanks for the video!
