2 hacks I use to reduce procasination 1 - before starting your day write down top 3 priorities for the day and try to avoid taking up anything else until it's done 2 - keep a notepad and note down what you did in the last hour. You'll be surprised how much it helps in being accountable to yourself. Hope this helps some of you :)
If we write down 3 priorities before starting the day then we would actually be starting the day by writing down these priorities. How could we do that before starting the day. We would really, have to be asleep to be before starting the day, because the day starts upon waking. lol just playing. Your drift has been caught. :)
I think when it boils down this is one of the biggest principles to being successful at LITERALLY anything. It's putting off the instant gratification for the long term.
1. Don't sell out what you want most for what you want right now. 2. Step away from "being" and focus on "becoming". 3. Find joy in the process of turning potential into skill. 4. Don't let other people control your time or focus. 5. Sincerely pursue your goals.
Nice! This was a great video. 3 questions that I like to ask my clients to break the habit of procrastinating is: 1) What do I know that I need to be doing? 2) What do I want to be doing instead? 3) What are all the reasons I actually want to do what I know I need to do first? That competing goal is the truth.
Tom...I've only recently began watching videos with you alone...GREAT fan of you and Lisa...I have never heard you talk...OMG you are a wealth of WISDOM and INSPIRATION alone so glad I found you without any guests. Blessings to Lisa and you, keep setting the world ON FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤
Hey Ali @ 22:22- hope you’re watching. I used to have the same struggle of reading- i could not get through a single book... but we all learn differently! Some ppl are visual learners some are auditory learners. Start with audiobooks - I recommend SCRIBD . I went from 0 books a month to 4-6 books a month. Best decision ever.
I call BS on anyone that has indecision and keep second-guessing (going from idea you idea). I’ve dealt with this, it’s because we’re looking for an easy way out. We’re afraid of something. If it was easy, if we weren’t afraid, it would be done already. First step is to acknowledge this and then go. It’s gotta work or it’s gotta work.
This is definitely a true component of indecision, but it isn't only fear that's the cause of indecision my friend. The fact you can second guess and go from idea to idea to idea is a problem in and of itself. This also isn't taking into account belief systems, your understanding of thought and emotion etc.
definitely!! I was just analyzing procrastination and what actually causes it, and I got the same conclusion! By not being sure if your idea is the right one and being fearful of failure will make you not commit 100% to it, therefore, procrastinating
@@grancari4314 I think distraction in and of itself can be a piece here as well. Our minds move so quickly and we jump around like Jay Shetty says "The Monkey Mind" if we can learn to control it a bit more through meditation we'll have more control of how much it jumps around.
Glad you've figured out your priorities and don't have a brain that comes up with a different idea then goes back to an old idea then goes off on a tangent then oops I suddenly remember that I didn't put my socks in the laundry basket or something similar that if I don't do it now then I won't get back to it because I forgot about it.
I have the same problem as John - overthinking instead of trying it out. My problem is the cost of different materials involved with each idea. But, perhaps I can scale it down and make a sample of some sort. Seriously, that ICE thing was invaluable. Thank you John for asking that question and thank you Tom so much for answering. Huge help.
Thank you Tom, this Q&A of Procrastination has been a FOOD FOR THOUGHT for me, I am a mother of 3 Adult. I single handedly brought them up after their father died. I put my life on hold and now trying to get my life back as been very difficult because I procrastinate and end up doing nothing by the end of the day. I have being watching most of your videos on youtube and this inspires me everyday to do something new but it's difficult. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thanks Julie
The girl from Alta Dena...my heart went our to her, because of her courage to really lay it on the line and say "Help!!!".

PROPS to her, for digging, pushing, clawing, reaching for the answers through this channel. If you're reading this Pita, DO NOT STOP clawing,digging, pushing and looking for the answers...DEVOUR this channel, and DEVOUR ALL the content from Brendon Burchard, there is a lot of it online for FREE. LISTEN to them CONSTANTLY...NONSTOP, and I PROMISE...with some time you WILL see the needle moving. DO NOT GIVE UP! You can do this. And this community will support you as much as we can through this medium! Go get it girl! You can do it!
Hey Pima! I feel your pain! I’ve been there - I’m still there some days - being self employed & trying to build yourself as a business and then requiring that business to provide an income for you is extremely stressful which makes me just want to stay in bed some days- It’s a vicious circle! Just know you’re not alone - following Tom is a good move! Wishing you love & light! Viki
Tks Tom for so many useful tips I received from this video to overcome procrastination. Stay well. Stay safe, Stay blessed, Stay legendary and inspiring 🙏
Wow. I’m first going to have to desensitize myself to the anxiety I feel from the fast pace you guys are in. Procrastination for me is escape into unproductive things. I realize I don’t think I matter or what matters to me doesn’t matter. This is a self esteem problem. I know. My life’s purpose came to a halt with this virus. It will never be the same. I think I’ve mourned the end of it and the loss of the people I was close to. I am inspired by this. It’s fast paced for where I am. I think a new path is being revealed. I started meditating and exercising I have to believe and commit. I’m happy you are so high on life. Right now it looks a little manic to me but I get it. You’re excited and passionate. I’ve been there. I’m staying in the flow Thanks Bill.
Tom, thank you SOOOOOO much for ALL you have done for ME personally. I've been a subscriber for quite a while and I watch you almost every day. You and BB (Brendon) are my mentors and you've both helped me so much, and yet I've never met you. Thank you so so much. Really love you! Extremely grateful.
resistance is hellish, but can be beat with a clear mind, the right strategies and a willingness to just GO. thanks as always for inspiring and for the work you do, Tom and IT team!
It was SOOO GOOOOD to start the day with this video!! Procrastination: I relate with the cause! Before doing someting:I wanted/needed it to be really really prepared, waiting for the right / perfect time, make all thing perfectly lined up... and then... it was never as perfect as i wanted: so did not started, avoided and... NOW I take action and sometimes figured out as I'm doing! But I've stopped waiting for the perfect whatever! Not as often as I should but so much more then the passed month! Thank you, Tom
Thank you Tom for this great video you and Lisa are amazing I particularly loved the fact that you said to "value ourself for trying" this will help me a lot 👯😏. Hacks that help me are: -1 Just do it ( I have it painted in my house where I see it often ) ACTION is Motivation, just start even if I do not finish. 2- I ask myself if what I am doing is "paying me" and voilà peace and love from Paris France 🌼👌🏾
Thanks Tom. Found you because of Noah. Keep keeping on. the passion you have in presentation is palpable. From tomorrow Im leaping out of bed (its 2 pm just now) AND I already have a morning framework that I attend to EVERY SINGLE MORNING...now to build on it with actionable plans, forward motion and tasks. Thanks for your insights really really good

Also the rant about NO NOTIFICATIONS IT'S FUCKING MADNESS at the end 😂 I loved that and even though I have minimal notifications it made me realize the truth about being to know them. I'm going to shut them all down and they'll fit in a certain breaks in the day
I needed this. My whole life has been a procrastinating of what I wanted to do. I can tell its affecting me of who I am inside. That Senior in High School that asked that question was more like a senior in college.
It's interesting how the actions of procrastinating culminate to almost a physical feeling of weight, and when we quit procrastinating the physical weight seems to be lifted off our bodies.
@@LifeCoachRahulGarg know what you know to be giving you long term happiness over short term happiness. Thats how you know. E.g. Chocolate (short term immediate gratification) vs apple (long term health goals)
One of the most effective ways to nurture grit is setting a self-transcendent goal rather than a self-oriented goal. Most people set goals to achieve their self interests like getting a better job, a better house, a better car, a better grade or recognition from others. Research shows that rather than setting these self-oriented goals, setting a goal that transcends the self that benefits others is highly effective in sustaining effort and improving grit (Yeager et al., 2014).
Great video! Even though I am just now responding, I enjoyed watching all of your other videos as well. Do you want to read and not have enough time? Find the audio book of the book you want to read, then either: · listen to the audio book on the auxiliary input (AUX) if trucking on the road or to and from work · listen to the audio book with earplugs while jogging · listen to the audio book with a Bluetooth speaker while weightlifting · listen to audio books on surround sound while cleaning, repairing renovating, fortifying, or rehabilitating house. I listen to interviews, non-illustrative videos and audio books while I am in motion or on a long, slow drive. This has helped me save time in many ways over the years, I hope this strategy helps you all as much as it has helped me.
@@RyanFila I don't think so! Maybe they think it's good for themselves but of course they know it's not good for others! Think of drug dealers or thieves or.... They know they are doing harm for others but still doing it for money!
Holy shiatzenbürgens Tom...you absolutely read my damn mind. I was seriously kicking my own ass this morning about how much my constant procrasting has essentially ruined my life. I’m starting the rest of my non-procrastinating life with this video, RIGHT NOW! Thank you 🙏
It’s a question about negative feelings/associations towards a certain task and the mind drifting towards the easier, more stimulating option - moving away from pain and towards pleasure. The neural pathways associated with certain tasks is connected/remembered as highly pleasurable and others very hard. A biological mechanism that should make us more effective, but in reality, unconsciously takes down even the best of us 😅 very counterproductive. For me, flipping the script and realizing this biological process is happening helps me “transcend” that negative association or feeling towards the task I feel like procrastinating on, and helps me actually go through with; realizing the mind just wants the easiest and most stimulating option, and that in fact it’s not “me” that don’t want to do this - I would love to get it done, but my mind... that’s a different story 😄
Great video and a lot of value throughout. Love how towards the end you speak about not standing still, if you don't move and take action, it's impossible to make any progressive movement
Our minds will try to be the boss every time. Be very aware of your thoughts and you'll see what goes down! So messed up the self sabotage. As David Goggins says “Stay Hard” .... you be the boss!
Can't remember where I first read this idea, but I think it was James Clear. Procrastination happens for two reasons: the task is too boring, or it's too big. Find a way to make the thing more exciting, find something new, or break the thing into smaller chunks. This lesson has been a game-changer. I still find myself procrastinating, but I use the simple question, "Is it too boring or too big?" to get myself refocused.
“Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end.” ― Daisaku Ikeda
thanks tom, and thanks to all those who asked questions in this video-- I felt like you were reading my mind! procrastination has always been one of the things I always work on but have never fully conquered. love this episode!
The mantra that gets me to do things I dont want to do is already something I heard you say, Tom! DO HARD SHIT! This pulls me through when I DO NOT what to do things! I use it when i take cold showers and when i do not want to work out. So thank you for this and the reminder in this video to have a mantra!!
Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently Failure is the most data rich stream we will ever account. Glean the lessons and begin again. This is good, pure gold.
My God, Tom this is fucking briliant! At around minute 35' you answer a question and you mention a quote by Henry Ford and that made me pop out from my chair and stretch my eyes and ears. I have been struggling a lot with taking decisions small ones and big ones and often in order to start something I seek for more reassurances and information that do me no good because they do not come from my own experience and this often leads me into quitting and hating myself. I have written in my journals about what mistakes can really offer but I never took it seriously. Today you said it land reaffirmed it loud and clear and I so much thank you for that. Im starting implementing right now.
This is so great! It should honestly become a fixed series in the channel, where you talk to us normal people instead of the big coaches. Thanks for doing this!
Love this! You are of the few "influencer, thinker, digital mentor, podcaster" that I still listen to (since Inside Quest) because you put so much importance on your marriage. So many other people in this area come off so narcissistic. I went down that path and it was not good for my family and I. Take David Goggins for example. I like Goggins but he's so focued on himself that he's in his thrid marriage. Self-giving is a human natural law that gives us joy and meaning.
One thing I have learned is that no single influencer is going to be perfect in every aspect in my eyes. You take a bit of wisdom from each one and put it together in a way that fits you best. You can’t compare Goggins to Tom, that’s apples and oranges. They each bring value in such different ways. There are days I need to listen to Goggins, he kicks my ass in a beautiful way. On days like today, where I felt unfocused Tom’s message has encouraged me. His demeanor soothed me and gave me that loving push I needed.
Tom you are the man! I love your content and this is by far one of my fav segments you create. It’s actually affected me to the point where as the people ask their questions, I pretend I’m on the show answering them. Keep up the great work 👊
The best way to accomplish something is to begin. Planning our day everyday and start doing will help us gain momentum and give ourselves opportunities to get things done. We can deal with problems as they arise and little by little create the habit to make ourselves do the things we have to do when they ought to be done, whether we feel like it or not.
Wow! The procrastination on decisions was THE most powerful for me. All the tips are great but saying you’re right it could be better so just get it done, test it out.... learn and tweak .... you learn by doing not thinking. THANK YOU And 1000% yes I am also unreachable ... my son can call through on an emergency and that’s it. 👊
One of the very few in this field of life couching that i feel a relief with, and really find your content very compatible with my religion Islam and it's attributes in increasing your productivity and in matters of the kind of life style to adapt... Keep it up, we love you ❤️😍👌🙏
Great key takeaways from this one that are actionable and excellent quotes. I must stop fearing asking you a question and I hope that we get another chance soon. Please keep this style of content going. I have to say ( my opinion ) you not being in the studio with the majority of the guests due to the pandemic has changed my enthusiasm with the interviews because you work absolute Magic when the guest is with you and you speak great body language to dig deeper or change subjects. But this format was Captivating thank you brother as always for your content.
Thank you Tom. Thanks to all these people that put themselves out there and ask questions. I confident your answers will help their journey 🥰.The second best video I watched this week. @VusiThembekwayo interview was the Best one.🤗
Excellent video Tom. The potential of the average human being truly is limitless, and I have seldom come across a channel with a more inspiring foundation.
Loved the guy from Canada. Takes a lot of courage, esp for a guy, to stand there and ask for help. SO awesome, I LOVE seeing gentlemen like that, with heart and courage. I'm sure Tom's answer, really helped him. Awesome advice #DataSample
I turned off all e-mail notifications a month ago. Told my bosses, if it’s important call me. I get SO much more done. I feel like I have more control of my days.
My assessment is that John from Canada is an ideas guy. IDEA people are overflowing with great ideas that could all be successful but have a hard time committing to ONE single idea because they'll miss out on the other, or they get convinced the newest one is best, etc. My advice is to choose to commit to one biz idea regardless of how awesome your other ideas are. You have to trust that the biz plan you made was indeed worth pursuing and actively push out new ideas. Ideas are new and exciting and fun. Starting a business has frustrating, boring, and uninspiring parts to it. Instead of bouncing to the next idea you have to embrace the sucky parts, and get through them. Setting up your bank account, working on the website, coming up with a marketing strategy, the gritty details, etc.Knowing you may be an Ideas person, you can instead focus on the task at hand and try to get inspired and new creative ideas for that particular part. Doing the website? Let your ideas run free until you commit to the overall look. Then put it away and focus on your 'ideas' for the next thing. Hope this helps. I have the same issue. So many ideas, I'll never get to them all, but if I can do one or two really well in my lifetime, that'll be enough.
Love these tips, especially the ''reward yourself after you put in real effort''. One of mine is to watch a 25 min anime, however due to some external factors I couldn't do that today - so I watched this instead, stretched over three settings.
When in HS I noticed that notifications would greatly distract me. Some people wouldn't understand... till this day my personal phone is 98% of the time on silent. People still have made it a point to complain. I recommend checking in with the people in your "Top10" every now and then. Perhaps create special settings on your phone or protocols to follow in case of emergencies. ♡
Everyone procrastinates sometimes. It's the nature of the world. But this is a useful video because there ARE ways to push procrastination away when it's most important.
Thanks Tom! The quality of that front camera kept bugging me - not sure if it's a Lenovo camera, but I had one and replaced it with a Logitech C920s, and quality was tremendously clearer. Best Buy has them for 80 bucks from time to time. Thanks again for the powerful message!
Great value on this video! To speak with you must be a life changing experience, so much driven and powerful advises of a true life and productivity teacher. Thank you!!
This is magnificent! Love you Tom how you dissect these questions and show the structure of your thinking and approach. I would like to read your book and learn about how to get out of the matrix. From what I understand, it comes down to values and perceptions as in what you focus on when something happens.
Peta you should give a class every morning( to your friends at the beggining). This will help you so much with your practice and also will give you media content. This is something that I did and is helping me a lot. Is not perfect but it is a good start.
2 Hacks I use to reduce procrastination. 1 -Tell yourself that as soon as you're done you'll reward yourself. Then you are eager to get it done so that you can enjoy the reward. This is what they did with you when you were little. After you eat your vegetables you can have desert. LOL. 2 Hire a Coach to keep you accountable to your goals. 96% more productive.

Most people set goals to achieve their self interests like getting a better job, a better house, a better car, a better grade or recognition from others. Research shows that rather than setting these self-oriented goals, setting a goal that transcends the self that benefits others is highly effective in sustaining effort and improving grit (Yeager et al., 2014).
It depends on how selfish the person is
Great video! Even though I am just now responding, I enjoyed watching all of your other videos as well.
Do you want to read and not have enough time?
Find the audio book of the book you want to read, then either:
· listen to the audio book on the auxiliary input (AUX) if trucking on the road or to and from work
· listen to the audio book with earplugs while jogging
· listen to the audio book with a Bluetooth speaker while weightlifting
· listen to audio books on surround sound while cleaning, repairing renovating, fortifying, or rehabilitating house.
I listen to interviews, non-illustrative videos and audio books while I am in motion or on a long, slow drive.
This has helped me save time in many ways over the years, I hope this strategy helps you all as much as it has helped me.

That's a good one. Do you think people who enjoy evil sincerely believe they're searching for "good"?
@@RyanFila of course not! Satanists enjoy beeing evil! False quote!
@@user-ln8rz5wi8e But, in their mind, do you think they believe evil is actually good? That doing evil in the world is the "right" thing to do?
@@RyanFila I don't think so! Maybe they think it's good for themselves but of course they know it's not good for others! Think of drug dealers or thieves or.... They know they are doing harm for others but still doing it for money!

Holy shiatzenbürgens Tom...you absolutely read my damn mind. I was seriously kicking my own ass this morning about how much my constant procrasting has essentially ruined my life. I’m starting the rest of my non-procrastinating life with this video, RIGHT NOW! Thank you 🙏
That procrastinating will get you every time! Hope you're journey is going well 2 days in!
You’re still procrastinating like hell, aren’t you?
It’s a question about negative feelings/associations towards a certain task and the mind drifting towards the easier, more stimulating option - moving away from pain and towards pleasure. The neural pathways associated with certain tasks is connected/remembered as highly pleasurable and others very hard. A biological mechanism that should make us more effective, but in reality, unconsciously takes down even the best of us 😅 very counterproductive. For me, flipping the script and realizing this biological process is happening helps me “transcend” that negative association or feeling towards the task I feel like procrastinating on, and helps me actually go through with; realizing the mind just wants the easiest and most stimulating option, and that in fact it’s not “me” that don’t want to do this - I would love to get it done, but my mind... that’s a different story 😄
Great video and a lot of value throughout. Love how towards the end you speak about not standing still, if you don't move and take action, it's impossible to make any progressive movement
Our minds will try to be the boss every time. Be very aware of your thoughts and you'll see what goes down! So messed up the self sabotage. As David Goggins says “Stay Hard” .... you be the boss!
Can't remember where I first read this idea, but I think it was James Clear. Procrastination happens for two reasons: the task is too boring, or it's too big. Find a way to make the thing more exciting, find something new, or break the thing into smaller chunks. This lesson has been a game-changer. I still find myself procrastinating, but I use the simple question, "Is it too boring or too big?" to get myself refocused.

thanks tom, and
thanks to all those who asked questions in this video-- I felt like you were reading my mind! procrastination has always been one of the things I always work on but have never fully conquered. love this episode!
The mantra that gets me to do things I dont want to do is already something I heard you say, Tom! DO HARD SHIT! This pulls me through when I DO NOT what to do things! I use it when i take cold showers and when i do not want to work out. So thank you for this and the reminder in this video to have a mantra!!
ua-cam.com/video/n-zTWlSR5Yw/v-deo.html
Thanks a lot Tom!!!!YOu are the best!! I follow you since 2 years now!!! LOVE ALL YOUR CONTENTS AND GUESTS!! Cheers and bless up from France!
Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently
Failure is the most data rich stream we will ever account. Glean the lessons and begin again. This is good, pure gold.
My God, Tom this is fucking briliant!
At around minute 35' you answer a question and you mention a quote by Henry Ford and that made me pop out from my chair and stretch my eyes and ears.
I have been struggling a lot with taking decisions small ones and big ones and often in order to start something I seek for more reassurances and information that do me no good because they do not come from my own experience and this often leads me into quitting and hating myself.
I have written in my journals about what mistakes can really offer but I never took it seriously. Today you said it land reaffirmed it loud and clear and I so much thank you for that. Im starting implementing right now.
ua-cam.com/video/n-zTWlSR5Yw/v-deo.html
This is so great! It should honestly become a fixed series in the channel, where you talk to us normal people instead of the big coaches. Thanks for doing this!
ua-cam.com/video/n-zTWlSR5Yw/v-deo.html
I agree 1000 percent!
Love this! You are of the few "influencer, thinker, digital mentor, podcaster" that I still listen to (since Inside Quest) because you put so much importance on your marriage. So many other people in this area come off so narcissistic. I went down that path and it was not good for my family and I. Take David Goggins for example. I like Goggins but he's so focued on himself that he's in his thrid marriage. Self-giving is a human natural law that gives us joy and meaning.
Interesting
One thing I have learned is that no single influencer is going to be perfect in every aspect in my eyes. You take a bit of wisdom from each one and put it together in a way that fits you best.
You can’t compare Goggins to Tom, that’s apples and oranges. They each bring value in such different ways. There are days I need to listen to Goggins, he kicks my ass in a beautiful way. On days like today, where I felt unfocused Tom’s message has encouraged me. His demeanor soothed me and gave me that loving push I needed.

Thank you for these videos Tom. I do not feel alone ❤️
Tom you are the man! I love your content and this is by far one of my fav segments you create. It’s actually affected me to the point where as the people ask their questions, I pretend I’m on the show answering them. Keep up the great work 👊
Love this Tom! Thank you so much for all of your amazing content and insight, you are truly an inspiration and a role model!
Q&A’s with Tom are my favourite !!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The best way to accomplish something is to begin. Planning our day everyday and start doing will help us gain momentum and give ourselves opportunities to get things done. We can deal with problems as they arise and little by little create the habit to make ourselves do the things we have to do when they ought to be done, whether we feel like it or not.
Wow, your responses are SO phenomenal. Priceless insights all over the place! Thank you TOM!

You look healthier in this video than I've ever witnessed you. Blessings on your journey && thank you for your commitment.

Thank you so much for your time and rich impactful actionable information. Love love love your shows!!!
Respectfully
Wow! The procrastination on decisions was THE most powerful for me. All the tips are great but saying you’re right it could be better so just get it done, test it out.... learn and tweak .... you learn by doing not thinking. THANK YOU And 1000% yes I am also unreachable ... my son can call through on an emergency and that’s it. 👊
I am so happy and grateful I found his channel 💓 always love watching and being inspired 💪
So much wisdom and knowledge. This has me amped up. Thank you Tom for all the content!
Oh yeah... I work retail right now.
I am focusing on what I want most.
Thank you for the encouragement.
Yes no notification. I've been feeling this for a long time. No one around me understands this. Thank you for good habits. 💥
One of the very few in this field of life couching that i feel a relief with, and really find your content very compatible with my religion Islam and it's attributes in increasing your productivity and in matters of the kind of life style to adapt... Keep it up, we love you ❤️😍👌🙏
Great key takeaways from this one that are actionable and excellent quotes. I must stop fearing asking you a question and I hope that we get another chance soon. Please keep this style of content going. I have to say ( my opinion ) you not being in the studio with the majority of the guests due to the pandemic has changed my enthusiasm with the interviews because you work absolute Magic when the guest is with you and you speak great body language to dig deeper or change subjects. But this format was Captivating thank you brother as always for your content.
Thank you Tom. Thanks to all these people that put themselves out there and ask questions. I confident your answers will help their journey 🥰.The second best video I watched this week. @VusiThembekwayo interview was the Best one.🤗
Procrastinating brought me here🤷🏾♂️
OMG. It is true!
Hahha. Let's work.
Lol 😂

Excellent video Tom. The potential of the average human being truly is limitless, and I have seldom come across a channel with a more inspiring foundation.
Loved the guy from Canada. Takes a lot of courage, esp for a guy, to stand there and ask for help. SO awesome, I LOVE seeing gentlemen like that, with heart and courage. I'm sure Tom's answer, really helped him. Awesome advice #DataSample
This is sooo powerful thanks Tom I really appreciate valuable tools you give to all of us trying to accomplish our goals. all LOVE ❤️

This was amazingly good. Lots of takeaways. Thank you Tom so much!
Let's just say this video has helped me more than all the courses that I have paid for. I ain't spending another dime on "quick fix" anymore
Please don't! If you ever feel like wasting money for no reason I'll send you my Venmo;)
@@RyanFila Lmfao! Not anymore. You're about a year too late there my man
@@MissionHumanExcellence_ Haha good for you! Keep building my friend!
I turned off all e-mail notifications a month ago. Told my bosses, if it’s important call me. I get SO much more done. I feel like I have more control of my days.
ua-cam.com/video/n-zTWlSR5Yw/v-deo.html
My assessment is that John from Canada is an ideas guy. IDEA people are overflowing with great ideas that could all be successful but have a hard time committing to ONE single idea because they'll miss out on the other, or they get convinced the newest one is best, etc. My advice is to choose to commit to one biz idea regardless of how awesome your other ideas are. You have to trust that the biz plan you made was indeed worth pursuing and actively push out new ideas. Ideas are new and exciting and fun. Starting a business has frustrating, boring, and uninspiring parts to it. Instead of bouncing to the next idea you have to embrace the sucky parts, and get through them. Setting up your bank account, working on the website, coming up with a marketing strategy, the gritty details, etc.Knowing you may be an Ideas person, you can instead focus on the task at hand and try to get inspired and new creative ideas for that particular part. Doing the website? Let your ideas run free until you commit to the overall look. Then put it away and focus on your 'ideas' for the next thing. Hope this helps. I have the same issue. So many ideas, I'll never get to them all, but if I can do one or two really well in my lifetime, that'll be enough.
Love these tips, especially the ''reward yourself after you put in real effort''. One of mine is to watch a 25 min anime, however due to some external factors I couldn't do that today - so I watched this instead, stretched over three settings.
When in HS I noticed that notifications would greatly distract me. Some people wouldn't understand... till this day my personal phone is 98% of the time on silent. People still have made it a point to complain. I recommend checking in with the people in your "Top10" every now and then. Perhaps create special settings on your phone or protocols to follow in case of emergencies. ♡
Very valuable advice! Thanks!
Love the approach of notifications off. You are aware you can miss some opportunities there but it’s gonna mess with your time on pursuing something

Thank you Tom, for your time and videos 🙏
Everything Tom says I 100% believe in. He’s like a second religion for me his words carry a lot of weight and they make me feel better
Everyone procrastinates sometimes. It's the nature of the world. But this is a useful video because there ARE ways to push procrastination away when it's most important.
Thank you Tom!
Thanks Tom I needed this. Peace and love.🥰
I love this so much 😩
I have grown so much, since i found your channel! So, thank you
You change lives Tom
Thanks Tom!
The quality of that front camera kept bugging me - not sure if it's a Lenovo camera, but I had one and replaced it with a Logitech C920s, and quality was tremendously clearer.
Best Buy has them for 80 bucks from time to time.
Thanks again for the powerful message!

This is the best video I’ve seen on overcoming procrastination
This is magnificent! Love you Tom how you dissect these questions and show the structure of your thinking and approach. I would like to read your book and learn about how to get out of the matrix. From what I understand, it comes down to values and perceptions as in what you focus on when something happens.
ua-cam.com/video/n-zTWlSR5Yw/v-deo.html
Thank you Tom, you really make a difference for us 💜
This is pure gold!
Postponed my plans for this morning so I could watch this video.
Peta you should give a class every morning( to your friends at the beggining). This will help you so much with your practice and also will give you media content.
This is something that I did and is helping me a lot. Is not perfect but it is a good start.
This was awesome! You answered all my questions. Thank you so much 😊
2 Hacks I use to reduce procrastination.
1 -Tell yourself that as soon as you're done you'll reward yourself. Then you are eager to get it done so that you can enjoy the reward. This is what they did with you when you were little. After you eat your vegetables you can have desert. LOL. 2 Hire a Coach to keep you accountable to your goals. 96% more productive.
Awesome stuff Tom! Thanks! Shared it with family members
thank you so much for this...its both practical and encouraging
Thank you for your time and the willingness to share. Hugely inspiring.
