    Timestamp Section
    0:58 - You're Inflating Reality
    1:56 - Gain some Sense of Control
    2:32 - Create an After-School Routine
    3:02 - Minimum Viable Step
    3:43 - Fixed before Flexible
    5:15 - Evenly Distribute Everything
    5:48 - The Countdown Method
    Summary Section
    Point 1: You're Inflating Reality
    Look at your assignments and think of how long the assignment will take. Doing this will help you lower your expectations of how hard the assignment will take.
    Point 2: Gain some Sense of Control
    As soon as you get an assignment answer the first question. This will help you not dread about the idea about the hardwork you will face, all you need to do is to keep the momentum.
    Point 3: Create an After-School Routine
    Start your work as soon as you get home, you can take a break but use a timer. This will give a defined a cut-off point for when you stop relaxing and start working.
    Point 4: Minimum Viable Step
    Do the easiest & simplest thing to get started. Don't think off all the other things you have to do or all of the other steps of the process. Do whatever you have to do even the tiniest task
    Point 5: Fixed before Flexible
    Some tasks are fixed meaning they'll usually take some Concrete Defined Amount on Time. Flexible tasks can vary, they have indefinite time to be accomplished. Do your fixed tasks then the flexible tasks, starting flexible tasks first can take up all the time. Starting with fixed tasks can leave room for you to do the Flexible tasks.
    Point 6: Evenly Distribute Everything
    Pretty self explanatory, it could make your life alot easier and prevent you from doing all your work at the last minute.
    Point 7: The Countdown Method
    Use a timer. As soon as the countdown is over you should find the impulse to jump up and start your work. It won't work everytime but it can come in handy.

    My after school routine which could help some of you guys:
    - empty backpack and take out lunchbox
    -snack (I usually cut up some fruit and have a small piece of chocolate)
    - 15 mins wind down (colouring, reading, anything u enjoy really)
    - homework (all of these steps make it so much easier to start working)
    - 15 mins chores (putting laundry away, clean ur room)
    -free time/screen time (phone, tv)

    The way you explain the fixable before the flexible explain SO MUCH. I'm actually the type of person to immediately start and get everything done it one go. This barely leave anytime for my personal activities.

Also, I have ADHD/depression and I am often very easily burnt out, so I really appreciate the fact that you kept on acknowledging that people have different ability/strength levels and that even these strategies aren't feasible all the time. It really helped diminish the pressure I felt when thinking about executing them. Keep it up :)

      @domino machines I take it body doubling is when another person spectates or helps you when you do tasks. This could be like inviting a friend over to just be there or hopping on a discord call while you help each other do work. This can work very well for some people.

    One recommendation for those who will take breaks, if you find yourself unusually productive as your break gets closer, try to push through and continue working as to capitalize fully on the productivity and focus instead of losing it by forcing a break. I've learned this from doing a few too many assignments last minute.

  • @Miner_Experting
    @Miner_Experting Рік тому +6

    My way of dealing with procrastination was short term planning based on what I had to do for the week. Especially for college where your schedule is what you make of it, and classes become formulaic, I would consider what I had for each particular week and spread it out depending on due dates, time constraints, and difficultly of the assignment. I don't have a physical todo list or planner, I use my head to plan things out instead. This probably only works so well with me because I like things concrete and down and can be a little inflexible at times, but it all comes down to self control and discipline in the end.

    well, this is an extremely well written video, but a flaw I see with one of the things that he says it to do the first question to gain control of the situation. Obviously this will make you feel much better about doing these assignments and lower the pressure, but one can get too relaxed. Once you feel that it is much easier than you thought, you will keep on procrastinating until the last minute thinking that it will be super easy and you can do it in a quick manner. Other than that, amazing tips and thank you for making videos like these

      exactly. so here in greece, in high school you need to take an additional of like 12 hours (per week total) of extra classes in order to pass the college exams. things are very hard, one math activity takes at least 40 mins compared to middle's school 10 mins. and its not only math, all the subjects are hard. i personally spend 6 hours studying for no reason

      What? Procrastination is nearly the opposite of being motivated
