the same routine. It takes you like
ten days to put in 10 hours of pure work. Procrastination. Procrastination is a
problem that lots of creators suffer from. Like I mean, who is
going to punish you if you didn't post
that video. If you didn't take
that freelance job, if you didn't
finish that design, if you delay your
study to the next day, if you delay your work,
to the next week. I know how you feel, the
guilt Dragging you down. I knew how hard it can be
because I have been there, like 6 months ago, I was falling into the depth
of procrastination every day and every night
until like one day, I decided to delay all the work and
problems I need to face just for me to face my
biggest problem, Procrastination. I read books and articles
on procrastination. What should hundreds
of videos try? hundreds of strategies applied

will walk you through. 1- the psychology behind Procrastination. and why you procrastinate. And 2- the systems to use
to win over Procrastination. hopefully decided that
you are going to stick throughout this
class because I can promise you there is a lot
waiting for you.
00:01:54.890 --> 00:01:57.935
I genually spent 50 days
creating this class. coming up with examples
and short stories to help my points across
making the class as short and as concise as possible.
So that you don't have to go through the same struggles that I already went through.
2. The Procrastination Scale : You are not allowed to
get up from the chair. You are not allowed to sleep. You can always want to be born. Those are the rules
provided by Timothy Wilson, a social psychologist at
the University of Virginia. Most of the
participants considers the electrocute themselves
during our experiment. And some actually
did 67% of men and 25% of women inflicted
beam on themselves. Fusion just to escape boredom. Study showed that if you were in a situation where you have
to choose between one, being bored, like writing
your 100 beige SA2, inflicting hormone
yourself likes benders Empire amongst wasting
time watching TikToks, you probably would end up doing the one thing
you hate the most. You will procrastination. Procrastination is a force dragging you toward these
Ellis Boolean activity. This is the
procrastination scale. On the left, you have
the shorter Durham, a pleasure activities that
temptations the video games, watching TikToks, distractions,
and Dunes, right? You have the longer-term
of leisure activities. Zach, cleaning your house.
They are finishing. The Boolean work
you need to do is add finishing your essay. Your goal is if the restrictions are heavier than your motivation to work, work will feel like
pushing a rock up a hill. You want to be able
to get yourself out of bed to finish your work. But if you have
systems in place, systems that make work
look more desirable, systems that keep you
disciplined work. We feel like pushing
a rock, don't. Work will feel like fun, which is exactly the
goal of this course. Hi, my name is Jamaica. I have been a
content creator and a huge board for eight years. As you can tell by the
straightest introduction. I'm a procrastination expert, the movement of regret. Looking back at all the volume you wasted in the
Boston few months, the temptation out
the day to day your work to the next hour. There's an XD. Does any case, the helpless
feeling of not being able to bring
yourself to get out of bed to finish the work. You promised yourself
to complete, finding out that you have
to complete your goals. Now that you have
failed yourself. All because of procrastination. Having this law is in making decisions that lead
to fewer regrets. Now, after months of this thing, I can come here on Skillshare
and introduce you. Upgrade. Upgrade is a seven letter word. Each little upgrades symbolizes an effective system you can use white brokerage
commission is this class. We are going to cover each different system and
how to use it or immediate that simplified so that upgrade bows with you beyond this class. So that upgrade rules used to out any period of your life, whether you are procrastinating
from your essay, procrastinating for
finishing your design. Procrastinating from
starting your company. Procrastinating from
exchanging the value of your future kids, you can just think of upgrade, bake one of the seven
different systems, and get back on track finishing the work you are
procrastinating from. If you were to implement, there's just the two
of those systems. You would just do the backbone, finishing whatever work you
have been procrastinating.
3. The First Step For Change: The late nights where you finally decide to
not get changed, the days where you wake
up, extremely energized. I worked with, on the way
I like to think of with the vision is as waltzes in
regime throughout the month, you get shorter boxes open the division here and z
are closer the times. What do you achieve your maximum productivity
suddenly enough, those motivational forces
are extremely short. The only lost, like
two or three days. You imagine your life. Who's an attractive ELC body? You get motivated to start the bone does a dream
will make it through e raised to the second power. But sometime during
your workout, your motivation boar runs dry. You store the message.
Workouts, you start coming up with excuses. You procrastinate random
division moles is here and z are not enough to beat
procrastination just because you woke
up one day motivated, finished all your
overview work is that you have been broke as
David, about four months. Doesn't mean that you have between BlueCast
z-scores overseas. That helps you win more
battles, agonists, the procrastination, Zen new systems that can help you
extend this at short words. And they connected to the NIC is the box that you can put
months of work and the achieves a state of
flow so that you can wake up every day excited to start working again is
the most important action you can get from this
entire class is to admit, admit that you procrastinate, admits that there is a
problem that needs solving, admits that there is
a need for a change, admits that you have to face procrastination will
just your willpower and you have filled
the multiple point, you procrastinate
four-line days, then you get to shoot the ball. Self-motivation. You
work for an entire day. The new fields that
you have meeting procrastination and there is no need for any food is our
effort to visit Z noon, the broker system
for nine days and the loop keeps going
on and on and on. Willpower is not
enough on its own. You need systems because
willpower runs dry. Brush defaults if you don't
give up your bride and accept this FU horseshoe
decisions that you might need to make
during this class, you will just keep
falling into this loop. Is that I know
that you have been through multiple times and I knew I definitely went
through with a lot of times.
4. Goals : Seeking Challenge: I wanted to learn how to
create 3D animations. When I was 19, I was researching for skill share class to
figure out how to do so. The lucky me, I found one, we certainly students,
actually really great. And I decided that I
will start this class. Not today obviously, but someday in the future
for months later. I didn't watch I think
the lesson of the class. I got busy and so the distracted
me from my primary goal, deleting something you
wanted to do that you know, you need to do from
one day to the next, from one week, there is an x. One day throughout
my procrastination was learning 3D animation. I was talking to a
friend of mine about me wanting to run
this 3D animation. You lost me a random
question that actually struck an extreme
amount of motivation in me. He asked me, how long is
the glass and it just hit me is a class in
total which just like 5 h of learning
material, let's say 10 h. If I need to keep your brain
lessons every now and z, let's say z as the hours equals, I will need to
practice the material while I'm watching the class. I can learn how to
create 3D animations. That rush, that excitement, that urge to move yourself, to use self can be
your shining knight. To win over
procrastination, upgrade, G, goals, sit long
term, impossible goals. This system is my
favorite system of volume instead of me
was the new video. Whenever I finish one, I can challenge myself to
boost it in videos this month. Instead of me studying
for my math exam 1 h every day for
an entire month. Why don't I finish my entire massive study
in the next three days. The width of groove
in your bride wizard, challenging yourself
who's an impossible goal, we'll totally flips the
skills in your favor. Impossible goals will
push you to limits. You never knew existed. I had an essay I needed to
complete when I was 17, I had more than
13 h to complete. That five-page essay ends up like was more
than enough time. And I already had
a pretty good idea of how I want it to turn about. I would spend a few
hours insertion is the topic of the essay. A few hours trying to write the draft xin or
you would submit it. Well, I got distracted
some way during the first hour and while I was wasting time
chicken my emails, 09:00 A.M. it was
09:00 A.M. not mine. I only have 20 min
left to finish. That is a reason why I'm
writing at the speed of light using my brain spooky the abilities to try to
finish that is n by n, I actually did the essay
turn it quiet or right? Actually, it turned out better than I
originally expected. And that was my first encounter
with Parkinson's law. Work expands to fill the time selected
for its completion. Upgrade G, goals, short
term impossible goals. Challenge yourself. Finish your entire
work before lunch. Challenge yourself to finish
your essay in Xenopus, the 60 min, set a timer and the challenge yourself to
finish working for as a dimer. Artificial deadline to
finish your work day before. An artificial time goal to
raise agonist will help you stay focused and not become an easy way for procrastination, how to use goals with overbooking destination
on my YouTube. If I was procrastinating
from making YouTube videos, I will challenge myself to make YouTube videos this month. That is like one YouTube video every single day.
Now, that's hard. That's a challenging
for me to prove myself. Myself making a video
for me is three boards, scripting, shooting,
and editing. I would keep a diary
or a Google Sheet, and I will keep track of
how long it takes me to complete every single
word in every single day and do each day I will wake up and the challenge
myself to finish those posts for store with
tighter and tighter the lines. This is a short-term goal, will help me avoid any of these directions
throughout my day. And the long term goal
will help me stay disciplined for long
periods of time.
5. Pause : Organize, Prioritize: I had a very bad habits and was devastating to my football
career when I was a kid. Once I get the ball from
my teammates or you would just keep running and
running towards the goal. I wouldn't disturb until
I'm near the goal, Xin, I will take my shot. And if you've ever
played football, running around with no idea of the surrounding bilayer
is a very terrible idea. A professional footballer needs to stop every now and then, even for a few femtoseconds while he's running any to stop, to scan the field, to search for his teammates, to determine that this deeply, you can do those few insignificant moments
of woodblock takes to scan the field would be the
best moments of his game. If he didn't stop there, you would end up making a bad shot, getting the bullet
stolen from him, making a bet bleed,
or even worse, he might just completely in the branding outside the
border of the field, just like video games. Every few minutes you need to take a moment to
look at them Ebb, to make sure everything
is included, you need to take those few
moments to that you can make the right blade and not end up being lost dead by
your teammates, boss or your phone
and jump on your bed. Buzzing could be one of the
greatest ways you can win over and procrastination
those few moments you take to get bored, to calibrate, to re-establish reasons why you are fighting, could reignite a fire. You forgot existed. Upgrade, be boss. Here is why you started
procrastinating. Will use pub divorcing, like if you were
stuck in a long line, the first thing your body
unconsciously do is just reach out for your phone
and they check your favorite stimulating gab. If a YouTube video you are watching gotta connection error, you'd immediately
reach for your phone to ship your notification
software developers entire beam into creating a sophisticated algorithm
with only one goal NICU, stay on the application longer. How to use both in to
win over grass donation. Buzzing is one of my
favorite systems. Urine, longer-term
destination and most importantly, urine sure. Determine the destination when I feel that I'm
getting hung up on site tours can get him behind
the schedule or a boss. That moment of
boredom helps me have tunnel vision on my
goals and my poem, I quickly run through
mitosis of the day, which she can easily have
been broiled eyes is the origin tossed from
Zona scissor inside those, I arrange my trustees of
the day so that I have a clear vision on
what I should be doing and when I
should be doing. If I quickly run
through upgrade, I will look at g from upgrade, which is sit in short the
term challenging goals. And I will challenge
myself to finish the first draft of my
essay before to be M e.g. sometimes I try to reestablish
where I started career in Sepphoris stably
is I'll try to find the beauty in my career. I'll try to remember as a fun
times I had with my career, I tried to look at
the positive side of making videos so that I can re-establish my motivation to keep on working for
months and months. I know that you
are hard-working. I know that you
love just to keep both ends up A4
and keep running. But sometimes you just
need to stabilize. You need to re-establish the reasons why is stored
in separate place. You need to you need to adjust this through
your phone away, through your work
away, and just Boss.
6. Distractions : The Weights: Upgrade D, distractions. Distractions is the
entire left side of the procrastination scale. This directions, you
will show the term of leisure activities,
your temptations, Washington Dec box,
playing video games, distractions is the core
source of procrastination. And you need to take
a step and limit your access to
those distractions. But Jim icon, how can limit in my access to the distractions helped me with over
procrastination or either I can't
remember the name for, had a very unique way of
writing book destination is measured actually could be
the most effective system. Within procrastination,
he would rent a hotel room or room
free from distractions. A room with nothing but is necessary equipment for writing. And he would go there
for a few days and you would end up achieving months
of breweries on his book. The reason that hotel room flips the procrastination
scale is there for him, is a way Z is because
you got rid of the entire leaf decided
observed procrastination scale. Being motivated to work
is no longer an issue because work is your
own skin from boredom, just like the electrocution, zombie humans who will
draw other infective, been on Zoom syllabus. Zen to be bored. If you were locked
up in jail cell with nothing to do with
only your thoughts, with only wore them
to keep you company. And one day I were to
give you a bar and B bar and asking you to
draw, you would just did. We'll draw when would be such an entertaining
suit for you and Zach movement in that
situation, in that comparison. But if you would
like if you were you having a smart phones that is backed up
with distractions in all shapes and colors. Having a new series came out on Netflix and you are
excited about having somewhat over freedom
to delay work the next day and the width to give you the same bin and B, but you'd probably, will you do, you would probably throw
them back at my face. It, it's actually unfair
to work in this century. Imagine a situation
when I woke up and decided that I
wanted to lose weight. But here's the catch. My house. Next, everywhere,
all over the place. Chocolate cakes on every table, bags of chips in every cup board needs as everywhere I looked, there are going to lose weight, will be like swimming. Again, this is a current. Odds are extremely
stacked against me. Now, imagine the same situation, but your goal was
not to lose weight. It was like to write a 100-page essay to finish
a project for your client. But you are surrounded by all those entertainment
platforms that are all big and full attention
that are one click away. When the exotic extremely
stacked against you, this directions is a
problem you need to face if you are serious about
beating book resignation. But Jamaica, my role
model found success. It originates all those
short-term original activities. When I was 12, I want it to become a
professional footballer, just like every other kid
in my age in my country, I started in vaccine
and local club, but there was another kid,
was extremely talented, was a scoring goals
the left and right, but zero or something
weird about him. He was wearing jeans and
outperforming the other kids. Like that was just the
scientifically impossible, even a thin these are trials were in jeans and shockingly, he did qualify and he got
accepted in the trials. Yes. He found a success
while carrying tons of good way
over his shoulder. Does that mean that wearing shorts wouldn't have
felt differently? It would imagine beaten in
the race while having to win the bounds of unnecessary
weight on your shoulder. I mean, you can still win, you can still win. But the odds are
stacked against you. The width of having YouTube,
TikTok and Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, will I click
away from your finger? All begin fuller attention. 2047 or width on the
other side of the scale, dragging you down to the
lives of procrastination? Yes, you can find
the success while having unlimited access to all your favorite distractions. Wouldn't the limiting
access to Zim help? Definitely it would. I know that Elon Musk plays video
games to animate, but still manages
to somehow within 18 h of work every single day. But here's the thing. Everyone see Procrastination is scales are different
on British food. It's much more
motivating for you to wake up being accountable by hundreds of millions
or looking up to you than for you to wake up, looking back at all the things
you feel that and throw in just one more time to sit
down and push harder. Because it just might
work out this time. All we can do is to use systems
to increase the battles. We win over procrastination. But carrying all of
that dead weight on your emotions will see
villi do the opposite. Successes. Successes is difficult. I know that you have seen
this with your own noise. There is like 100 words between you and
achieving success. And the success takes
making sacrifices. You can make it while having unlimited access to all
your favorite distractions. But why make it harder on yourself when it's
already hard enough. But Jamaica has many benefits. It may indulge in those shorter term of
leisure activities, social media can be beneficial. You can connect
with your friends. You might be inspired
to start a new project or experiment in your
work in a new way. But this is an any
benefit approach. Is any benefit approach
to decision-making says that anything good
can possibly come. New strategy or lesson, or unit, or unit or
initiative, zenith, words using, it's all about how much value you get
for the time you invest. Unlimited social media axis
is the word investment. You can make a new life. That is basically the same, like saying that it's okay
for you to derive 1,000 mi, just did because you will get a free bag of chips
as a YouTuber, I can tell you that I'm watching YouTube videos to learn
more about my competitors. But I know that
barely happens like once every 8 h of
watching YouTube content. But Jamaica, I don't have
to put those platforms. I can just use them from
like six BAM every day. I don't drink, but I know how drinking affect
other people. Mostly people drink
catenoid salad when Zr Bertin schedule a
time for drinking. But the new case study, you will wake up, sabotaged by the
hangover effects rooms or previous night
residual urges. My problem was
video games is not the 4 h I designate for
my usage to video games. My problem is the NIC std, what I wake up feeling the urge to blaze
just one more game before starting
my work and I end up taking legs and they all
believe in video games. You might experience a similar
thing with social media. What do you wake up and
say It's okay for you to watch tick box for like
five-minutes and move. We're getting up and you end up watching TikToks
for an entire hour, you wake up on a loss and that loss can easily
smooth wall to you feeling demotivated through
out the day and you decided to just the delay work to when you are feeling better. The method of scheduling
about of your day for your distractions will work
only if you are motivated. And as we already established, motivation runs
dry, pretty false. You get sure towards his own motivation
throughout your months. Today, you might be able to
hold yourself accountable to only 4 h of distractions
at the end of the day. But the next week, you might not be as
motivated to do so. You might have woken
up with a headache, with a bad email for
more and you find that your air conditioner is not
working in this situation, you will probably fall
back to your old habits. You will be vulnerable and
your inner urges can easily take control and decide for you if you want to
do work or not. But Jamaica alive, who
is our short there? My pleasure activities,
look-see coin and the blessing. You remember why you started? Like me being a YouTuber. I always loved the film mimicking may contain
many videos septic 100 h to be created somehow
throughout our journeys. We forgot the release when
we started our careers. We forgot how exciting
wish to find our careers. All because of comparison. Y makes this video today when
I can just jump on Netflix, watches the new shows that
came out while eating popcorn. I don't know about
you, but both of those options are definitely
much more fun than misbehave than 6
h is kidnapped in a YouTube video or live
without distractions, arrive without short term of leisure activities is
not a settled life. That couldn't be
further from the truth, the secret to explain
in my extreme point of view that you don't have to
follow is the first sentence. Class, have any
slow is in making decisions that lead
to fewer regrets. The sadness you
experience when you realize you haven't achieved is a bare minimum of the goals he decided
upon last ten months. The suddenness you experience, what do you look at, how
much work we have? Both. And you find that it
is just the three days of work in the bus demands that aggregates you accumulate because all
of the time you'll read, boy, all the access time you wasted in social media
and watching movies. Or not worth your time just for the sake of
north-facing War, exceeded in your
syllabus to take days off when you know
you need it anymore. My final year in high school, I made like 100 YouTube
videos in that year. And it was an important
year in my education. I was studying all the time. I was finishing my study work, taking a break from z by
making YouTube videos. Taking a break from
z by studying, it was the happiest of my life. I work it for my
future self so that my future self gets to be
proud about that year, the year after that,
I got comfortable. I made like ten videos
in the entire year. It's been the most of that year indulgent in short-term
of leisure activities. It was the worst
year of my life. If you want to go out with your friends on
Saturday at 07:00 P.M. Don't go watch and tick box over 6 h. If you
want to be heavy, schedule a holiday with
your friends at the end. Months, don't go watch in 400 episodes of animate if you want to be having a schedule,
a day off in your mind, who are you rewatch the
Harry Potter series when you first started your career is like Zen
of beautifully woody. We're working 2047,
what do you did? Nothing but war cones
at new endeavor. And you can reignite that flame.
7. Distractions : Dropping The Weights: Oh my God, get to
sub 0 in how to use distractions to win
overbook destination, entire bulb is off. This lesson is for me to
tell you that seeking a life free from distractions is the
greatest book destination, eliminator of all time. The greatest day fever you
can do to your future self. You don't have to quit, but you have to limit
access to them. I will now walk you through my five-step formula to within
any distraction you have, within any addiction
you have H one. Admit that willpower
is not enough just to, because you hopefully
read some short term of leisure activities
are not healthy to your future self,
is not enough. Willpower is not enough. Willpower runs the,
draw it pretty fast. You might be able
to hold yourself to today from watching TikToks. But tomorrow, when
you get a bad grade, when you have a bad day at work, you will be definitely watch it. **** talks to all day long. It's tip to identify
is the distractions. Throughout this lesson,
I have been referring to the distractions as watching TikToks or playing video games. But your distractions can
be totally different. What is your go-to
escape when you get the urge to stop working
and book Resonate, what do you reach for? You reach for your phone
and go on Instagram. You reach for a Rubik's cube, you Richard for food, what is your district? You don t need to finish
all your this directions at the same time just
to try and develop into one distraction
every Friday, e.g. Tip three G, the rigorous, high exact, rigorous,
you see a cookie, your brain gets disregarded. It remains to use
this fun activity. So you go and eat it and you feel the pleasure of the reward. Well, let's hide. The cookie, gets the distractions
out of your sight, turn off the notifications of
your favorite distractions. Distractions into forbearance, removes them from your eyesight. You will still
procrastinate using them. It is just the less
likely for you to get triggered to try and use them if something
is important and you can turn off the
notifications for, well, that's the exception. Zone one is a lower, is that all applications on your phone should have
notifications turned off. For C, complicated, drawing the mic axises
and distractions, more complicated on
Install video games, e.g. that way you need
to download zip. Want to play better yet logout of every social media
application you have. That way you will need to
go through a five-minutes the struggle every time
you need to access them, you can also show
your phone away. That way you need to go to the other room to
switch your phone. That extra effort
to make the reward of chicken your
phone less bleeding, which will bring you
to use in your fall. Or unit matters. If you make the root to that cookie will do with
nails on the ground, will most likely you
want to reach for it unless you are starving to
this and really need it, whatever this direction
you are struggling with, you will find a software that helps you limit the usage
of that distraction. I have a Chrome extension
called the DFW, that application extra minutes, the YouTube homepage and the YouTube videos
suggested board. That way I can
only access videos from my notifications,
from creators. I find these are content
words while there is almost an extension called
the newsfeed eradication, that extension removes the
newsfeed or Instagram. I don't think it
easily distracted, making the task
more complicated. Mckinsey journey to the shorter
term of leisure activity, longer will give you more time, more time fourier to sink. If watching TikToks right now is actually the best
use of your time. You only need to convince
yourself once to go back and stop indulging in the short term of
leisure activity. If every distraction
is one click away, you won't have enough time to reason with yourself throwing
the phone and having softwares that you need to disable tax is application json having to look back into the application while
getting blasted, those multiplications that tell you that you are
wasting your time, complicated and you access
to that distraction will guarantee that you
only use it with zeros. Studying value for you to do
so is the last step is who you want to with the distraction or the
addiction forever, stay five h height from the distraction behind
the another distraction. Every experience I had
with squid in video games, the first few days without them, I feel my body origins
just there for me to go back on valor and makes an excellent the blaze that gets to my team winning that urge is at Zeki streams a few days
after you decide to quit. The meu wave is height from the distraction behind the
nose or this direction. This is the ladder
of distractions. At the top you have the most
valuable time activities like doing your work is
in reading books, e.g. and that's affordable
and you have your water addictions for me, that would be
playing video games. Let's say I wanted
to quit video games. Then I would go on
to the next step. I've been designing a few days, loved working, not
making videos. It's been there's
any guest today is extremely in biology
and analysts. Addictive activity like
watching a new series, e.g. it's just they came
out with this bin, this as three days after I
decide to quit video games, watching a new series that
I know is only 20 episodes long and it's going to end the eventually
end-users, the client, Bob's a ladder until you eventually get back
to you Ranking how addictive habits or will it just depends on how good
you are at video games. But no matter what you do, don't indulge in the same
bad habit or in a habit, worse is at one, just the vote, then your urges for
like three days. And the after is that
you will find Zach controlling the urge
is much less severe than it used to be every
few weeks you might feel an urge to indulge in those activities
every now and then. But if you keep the
LSE environment and working on your
self-improvement, you can find those residuals are going to come up
every now and again, even if you fail with the distraction as the
first time around, when you are more
experienced and you can quit it the next time around is just to
whatever you do. Don't stop fighting.
8. Accountability : Risk Your Pride: My final high-school
year, if you remember, was the year when I
was working everyday. If we awaken our I always either studying or
filming a YouTube video. I would like 150 YouTube videos a fourth year using a system
I didn't know I was using. Instagram is the same thing. I'm telling you not to use during that entire
class in Instagram. I used to tell me stories about my daily life on Instagram. If I had a video due tomorrow, I will unconsciously
holding myself accountable by telling
my Instagram followers I didn't mean to do it, but it was crucial to
my success that year, upgrade, accountability as
30 made phones and be bold. Who told someone they are
going to do something. Our topic is defined very simply more likely to accomplish that thing then the ones I didn't delete any one,
No, I didn't know it. But unconsciously, I
helped them myself accountable by making
those Instagram stories. Most of my followers
wouldn't really care if I fail to
complete the goal. But a small percentage of
them will notice and do look at me as someone who
is not disabling your bro, it is something that you unconsciously the ROI and
deliver up to both in it at risk will totally flips the procrastination
skin in your favor. If you didn't let
anyone know and you fail to meet the task with like, who cares, you are the only one that knows
that you are undisciplined. But if you let someone know and you fail to
complete that task, you will feel that
this very soon we'll give you a look
of disappointment, which can hurt us. Bright accountability to
win overbook destination, if you want to get
an, a great shape, let your followers on Instagram that you
are going to the gym every single day of
this month and you are going to boost the student
group that you went today. It doesn't even need
to be social media. You can just tell your Bay
runs it, tell your friends, tell just one friend, Wooster, just to
one tweet about it, is that one tweet
will push you to limits you never knew before, but you know what is heavier
than risking your bride, risking loss if you have a goal and you
fail to achieve it, when you stay where you are, you don't Deleuze, but let's say you had an exam
in your college. Well, you don't
stay where you are. You lose. You lose
college expenses. You lose when you have to do that class again in the summer, you might even lose your
friends and have to repeat the entire year
was younger students. If you failed, you lose. That risk of loss will severely bush you to
achieve your goals. How to use laws, accountability, when overbooked estimation, find the relative or
a friend of yours, tell him your goal. Publishing lifetime value as before is an extra month e.g. and gave him a good
amount of your money and amount of money.
You will debrief. Be sad about losing e.g. like $100 and tell him
to take that $100. If you fail to complete,
if you can believe it, he will give you back
your $100 reaching out to someone who might not
understand your situation, can feel a bit uncomfortable. And it always will be, but I will provide you with a temporary solution in the next lesson in
the class project.
9. The Class Project: The class project of this class is actually pretty simple
and straightforward. We are going to implement
these three systems of the systems we already
discussed during this class. Bars, bars the class
jumbo neural bid and try and answer this
nick is the question, what is your impossible
goal for the next 30 days? How many days is are you challenging yourself
to finish in Zurich is how many Instagram boasts are you challenging
yourself to boost? And after you finish
the question, you are going to hold
yourself accountable. You are going to hold
yourself accountable to us as a community
Procrastination fighters that this glass managed
to grab too bizarre, moderately, you will hold
yourself accountable to me. Share your goal for
the next three months with us in the class
project down below. And I'm very active
on Skillshare, so I will definitely see your
boost and even rubble IQ. You might feel that
class projects doesn't matter that much. And you're right,
they don't wear. It comes to how
much money you make or what how much Broglie's
you managed to get. But if you learn, one thing from
this class is that success is not just
a vesicle wall. It's Seminole War. Treat yourself like someone. You are responsible for helping you procrastinate
because you knew that yourself failed in
many different areas before in your life, you feel that you were never meant to succeed in your life. And that feeling directs you to the depths
of procrastination. The reason I like
participating in class projects is that I want to move to my syllabus
that I'm omitted. I know that I have built
myself a lot before. Bottom here, I'm back, I'm ready. I'm ready
to move to myself. Visible I am better. Can be.
10. Hey, Easy On Yourself: I had a script sometime last year and the scriptings
that video take me like 6 h complete everyday
I would wake up and push myself to sit down for 6 h to complete
description of the video. But no matter what I do, scripting is really
the singular thought. Would I procrastinate for
days? And guess what? I did, I kept on
the lens of task genic is day one after it ends, the one after that one
till a week later, I found myself will
do is regrets. I forced myself down
to complete the task. I still felt as a procrastination urge
working against me, but I just force it myself. It goes through the toes.
Here is the game changer. After exactly 2 min. I didn't need to resist anymore. I didn't need to resist
the procrastination my hand do is just deploy
the rover as a keyboard. I was extremely motivated to script and the film
is a video of me setting that one is kept in for 6 h was extremely overwhelming. Even though all I needed to do was just sit there for 10 min, all I needed was to
go easy on myself, upgrade ie, easy on yourself. A while back. I was trying to
get into the habit of writing every day for 6 h, trying to guess what happened. I did not wake up. I did not get out of my
bed side of me writing for 6 h was too great for me to
convince myself to do it. Then I decided to use
a certain system. I will challenge your myself instead of writing for 6 h to only write for silky minutes every single day
after the 30 min, I have the total freedom to continue writing or
to take the day off. This system is just
like appetizers. Something to Subway
is your appetite, something to warm you up? And once you are warm, you are more likely to trim. Objects in motion, tend
to stay in motion. Ryan, with Vince your brain, sit down and write
for five or 6 h with Vince your brain
to sit down and write for just the 30 min. You don't even need to do
the same task to warm up, you can just do Amazon
productive thoughts like cleaning your disk, e.g. Zemo deviation, snowball effect. Your motivation is this
smallest new ball on the hill. Once you take an action, once you clean your desk, the motivation wound
starts rolling. Your motivation starts
increasing the more thirsty. And I know that you have built an effect when you are
just running through tasks and decide to take
more on than you ever took. A much larger, this
ballroom division gets, the much more you
are energized to continue or D productively Xin, and only then you
can go with them. Mentally challenging thoughts on these in your snowball is large enough to be able to afford this mentally
overwhelming thoughts. You can also use this
system longer-term for me when I have been off, you'd you always start
by making the video. I am most excited for the ones that is going
to get them most of you is. The reason for that is that
if I started with all, I'm most excited for a
few videos down the line. I can have the greatest
snowball effect. And you can actually take
on that meant that it's shiny video that is going
to get me the most abused, helped you use easy on yourself to win over
procrastination. If one day you woke up, not being able to bring
yourself out of bed to finish your work will
go easy on yourself, give yourself as an entire
day to finish just the two of the easiest cost on that list as the minimum work required to take the rest of the day off. That would be a much more
Bayesian sawtooth up to, once you did, your motivation
would start rolling, urging you to continue
productivity and maybe taking some of the other doors if you are struggling with
sitting down to finish, I mean Telecon, human torso, challenge yourself
only 10 min to work. And after you do so, give you reserve is
a total freedom to continue working or
to take the day off. But most likely, objects in motion tend to stay in motion. This way you will win
over more of these, then you lose with
procrastination. If you click on this class than you are onto
something great, seeking strategies that
make you more productive is something that
most of you will are too arrogant to do. So try to not blame yourself
if you miss a day or two. Try and go easy on yourself
every once in a while.
11. Routines : The Gains Of Tomorrow: A few months earlier, I decided to stick
to a new routine. Every day at 7AM, I would make a milkshake. I will put some effort
in grabbing the shaker, grabbing all the
different ingredients from all around the
kitchen is the first day. I kept forgetting
how to do the steps. I kept three blades editorial while my hand who is
wet to extremists, those my phone, I
kept the drawing towards the video
again and again. It felt like such
a tedious process. It was too mentally
consuming that I hated it. The second day. I knew the process of making a milkshake was
miserable for me, but I pushed this route anyways instead of
the day as well. The force CD, even Zach density. A few weeks later while I was making my milkshake as usual, I still remember
something that I forgot. I remember that I hated the
process of making milkshakes. I forgot. It just became such
a normal part of my routine is that I just
somehow accepted it. It's the hardest thing to leave any DB routine life
even if you ate it, the bluegrass, the initial scale is a pretty dangerous territory. But imagine if you
didn't have to go through the procrastination
scale at all. You love brushing your
teeth will be sunni. I don't know. I forgot. I stopped the
making the decision whether I should
brush my teeth or no, I do defeasible
presentation skill of brushing my teeth anymore. But something I still
remember how I used to feel about taking showers
when I was a kid. I used to hate taking showers, CVD procrastinate
from taking showers, the tedious process of grabbing my clothes and go into the
shower and the turning on the heat or it's just
difficult to Mintel consuming compared to the other fun
activities I could do. As a point, I would go days
without taking a shower. And everyone around
me notice Xin and only then the blue
crustaceans skill will flip. And I will go on
taking a shower. Taking a shower is something that I used to
procrastinate about. But nowadays, they were
I don't take a shower, just feels weird
and unproductive. I mean, I don't
have short today. I mean, I do spend the most
of the day is in-house, so it wouldn't really
matter longer-term, or it can just delay
those executes. These are similar to say, ex excuses we make
when we delay our war, but making something
that habit will just be deeply engraved
with in your brain, that you will stop making the decision whether you
should do it or not. I have it won't necessarily
convince you to spend 8 h do when you're
mentally consuming task. But it will definitely
help reduce the amount of willpower needed
to complete the task. Here is how I like
to think about it. 17, you consume and those will normally take you
with your willpower, Boeing's for you to get
motivated to do it. Some days you sleep well
and you wake up motivated. And you might have those boys, but some days you might feel tired and don't have
enough boys lose about, here is we're habits
come to blame if you force yourself for
a few days to do that mentality with human
thoughts as part of a habit is a willpower
boys needed for you to complete the task will decrease as you do the task
ideally at the same time, after the same rituals. Eventually, it will take you just about 20 willpower
to do the same task. Wish more days or not, you will be able to afford any tips on how to
create a habit. One, it gets easier every day you will have to
Horace Abbott density, you will have to force it. But the 100th day when you
will also have to force it, that difference is the
willpower needed to horses that 100 cd will be much, much, much less than are
needed the first day. It will be hard at first, but the more days you go
for synopsis that habit, the easier it becomes
to you to keep up with Zach momentum to
create a sequence. The wounds of force
at a specific time every single day to day includes the past
as bar to sequence. Here is mine. I wake up, take a
shower, grab a coffee. Script for 60 min. That is my biggest
winner sequence. After I do so, sometimes
I grabbed a proper meal. Sometimes I watch
YouTube videos, but moves the times objects in motion tend to
stay in motion and the snowball effect comes into play and they
continue on boot in like two or 3 h in this supposedly mentally
consuming thoughts, if you do subtask as a sequence that is already
established as a habit, it is much easier for
you to become obese and forget about any
mint that resistance. A software application I really like using is an
application called iron. Well, it is just a
simple application with when you first
get into the habit, you start as a timer and
throughout your day, you can see how long have
you been into that habit. There is just something
really motivating about seeing how long have you been
keeping up with that habit. And some sin really harsh about the thought of even trying
to receive a time-honored, you only need to
do it for 21 days. That wouldn't you want
to rule after 21 days of committing to a specific
dose in a specific routine. It will become a habit after 90 days of committing
to that habit, it will be a permanent
lifestyle change. Use routines, pool over procrastination in
your schedule or edit as a board over
already established the sequence for
your specific meant that equals human toasts. They will be off
the fifths as well. But the hundreds, they
will be much easier. This system is an
investment in your future, is the same way as
going to the gym. You don't see is the result
of accessing the U3. But if you trust the
process long enough, eventually will
eventually forget what procrastination even is.
12. Unsolved Problems : The Trigger: After high school, I had a big procrastination issue with my YouTube videos in the
ability to four months, I need only seven videos. I keep the blame myself for
my loudness and laziness, how I always avoided work and went for the short-term
bridge or activity. I wanted to
investigate something. I wanted to find out
how much time on average it took me to
edit a YouTube video. I found that I finished
the edit for a new video, whizzing around the
two days of work. I can do it again for
more trying to find out how much time it took me to record and they scrape
the singularity. And I found that
it takes me around one day of work to
record the video. And shockingly, it takes me ten days of work to
write a single script. A single YouTube video in d is just to write two
pages worth of words. I wasn't fascinating from zap basically it challenging
those glial, setting up the camera and
say they love the lighting. I was procrastinating
from writing the script. Writing a script for a video can be one of the most
elemental equal human. Tossed over the words
you are writing can be arranged in a
different symbol ward. They can exchange
the environment. You are imagining Joshua, you are going to fill in water. And then it just hit me. You only procrastinate with
Mintel equal human posts. Once you do your messages, you don't procrastinate from shaking your friends
funny bookshelf. You need from your blood
into your employer. You procrastinate from
Riblah into your body. If you just add an argument, you procrastinate
from your blood into your classmate who is
demanding extra work for me. You might even
through your phone away just like
films and message, you want to move away
from the actin messaging. You are procrastinating from the unsolved problems
that specific Oscar has. Procrastination is avoiding
on solving problems. One of my friends wants
to become a YouTuber. And there has been a year. Here is why I want to do, but what am I going
to do about writing? Well, what about
the camera gear? And I have my broken graphics. What about value capturing? What about the
software licenses? What about Lalla with my phone? Just let me check Instagram real quick and I will
get back to that later. He was not Brook Estate in from the act of making
a YouTube video. It was broke. I saved
it, swims up 5 min. It will take him to break down a bigger mentally consuming
task into smaller steps. This out of me asking
you to watch this video, to read this article. And this group is much more digestible than me telling
you to learn yoga, e.g. when should I start? Should I watch the tutorial? What should I boy on
solving problems? Upgrade you? Unsolvable problems, and solving problems also
can happen short-term. A lot of times I
procrastinate from making a YouTube video
because I didn't take the 5 min it needs for me to figure out what am I
making a video about? Is that a five minute video or is that your
key minute video? I didn't take the time
to figure out and determine the width of Zappos. I'm supposed to do how to use unsolved problems when
overbook destination, our brain didn't exactly have
a visa specific cost is all we need to do is just
to grab and being a beaver and the breakdowns
of work we need to do. If I had an essay that I
need to write next morning, I would pick 10 min
before going to sleep to figure out how
large is the essay is, how much research needed to
be done to finish that essay. That way, I have a pretty
good idea of the size and Zackie viability of the enemy
on fighting next morning, which will make the salt we
cannot much more digestible. Let's say my goal was to
have a better muscular body. When that is a very
big cost to work on, I'm very likely to keyboard
resonates in this, in this task and delineate what is the benefit
muscular body, let us break down mentally
overwhelming task that we don't know the actual
width of for me right now, I think I've got to have a better fit muscular body
by doing silly things, getting thin
kilograms of weight, a healthy diet, building muscle. Cheetos are very vague. How will I again think
through rums a week? How will I have L slide? We need to break
down this mental overwhelming task again to figure out its actual weight
in kilograms is a few doors, like sign up for a healthcare delivery system of some sort. Researching the best guy
at scheduling the time of each meal binds the ingredients
I need to make my meals. Must have board is
going to the gym five times a week at ABM, is me searching for a bestseller coach to probably guide me. So it is no longer than identify toss of having
a bitter masculine body. It is having a meal at two VM that I ordered
these ingredients for. It is going to the
gym at ADM Institute. Me saying I need to study mess, which is very vague. I should take some
time to figure out how much I actually show
the studies that I can get to see myself is that
I only need to study differential equations from
light beige 57 to basic ST2. And I only need
to watch a video, x and y and z. To help me with those 5 min, you take to break down the
bigger task into smaller tasks has a very big impact on you winning over
procrastination.
13. How I Face Procrastination: Thank you for sticking
out. So I'll just close every single
step I mentioned. You will find in the materials, the
Lincoln that would blow. You will find Alice to
actionable tips that you can go through to help
you get back on track. And this table, dr. this glass is definitely
a special one. I mean, for me, I spent 15
days script in this class. And to be honest with you, I don't care if this class
was successful or not. I already got enough
value by writing. If you want to master something Egypt before making this gloss, or you like dividends on
willpower and the like, one or two systems. Procrastination is one of the
biggest regrets of my life. Procrastination can
just shred the meaning of why you started your
career in the first place. But it seems like it goes all
for good reason after all, for me to come here
on Skillshare to package every single I
learned in this class, I will be definitely making more clauses on
topics like this one that it challenged
me to break through barriers I never knew existed. You can give this clause
editing if you like. It will definitely help business gloss performance
on Skillshare. And I will deeply
appreciated and also I always
appreciate construct. We're ready in the course. You can tell me what to
improve on next to that, you can help me improve during my neck is less and
most importantly, it will definitely make my
day to find out which one of you actually got some benefits
from watching my class. Thank you. And now I
will show you how I will implement upgrade
in my own life. If my goal was to
most YouTube videos, I will try and decrease the
EU on solving problems, making it simpler
and more digestible. I will take a few
minutes to create. The next level is
the process for making a video into
smaller steps. Then I would be bought. It will throw my phone
away and jump on my bed. I would ask myself
the question to try and figure out why am
I committing to this task? What my life would be like
if I could achieve it. And most importantly, create a gene pool for myself for the fixed route urines
upcoming 70 days, I would like boosting their
videos and among that will motivate me to stay focused
throughout the month. I will accomplish that goal
by following on our routines. Ms. Griffin, upset, I wake up, but the goal would still
be harsh to follow and that's why I would hold
myself accountable. I would boost in my
Instagram, live in my pool. What is my goal? That the hold me accountable? And I know that the distractions will be waiting for me the
next time I wake up. That's why I made
access to my phone. Complicated to that. I make sure that I get out of bed and we stick to my routine. And most importantly, I
would go easy on myself. Let me skip down. But when you could
be exhausting. So why not just the
challenging myself descriptive or 60
min and after that, I could decide with that
I would continue or not. His mother ******
that you ever say.
