    I genuinely have a huge problem for example my mom will say I can’t do what I want until my homework is done and my homework is usually easy but I don’t want to do it because I think it will take me about a hour but then I will spend 10-11 hours doing nothing because I am unable to do what I want because my homework isn’t done so I will put off 1 hour homework because I think I will be bored but I will then sit around for the entire day doing nothing and be sad at night that I haven’t done anything all day

      There's another brain hack that can work: Break things down in two minute tasks.
      When we have chores and things to do, break them down into 2 minutes of work. Then we can't use the excuse that there isn't enough time. Everyone can spare 2 minutes. It doesn't feel as daunting. We don't have to complete the task, just spend 2 minutes on it. Often once we start doing it, we will just continue until it's done. Even if we don't we are closer to having finished it than we were before.

    To be totally honest, I'm someone who procrastinates A LOT, and I hate it, but it seems like I can never 'beat it' or 'stop it'. Watching this for for the second time in 2 YEARS has made me realise that maybe I can do this, but I have to take that first uncomfortable step to be able to do everything I wanted. Procrastinating had made me push the things that I love away so that I can only focus on the very very important things, and watching this video helped me realise that I don't need to do that if I can focus on getting my work done in time.
    Everyone reading this comment I hope the best for you and I know you're probably gonna click on another video after this, but maybe don't. Maybe lie back in your chair or wherever you're watching this video and close and yours and think, "Am I Procrastinating?". If the answer is yes, then try and remember what you are supposed to be doing and just do it. Trust me, the first step is hard, but worth it. I'm gonna go stop procrastinating now, and I hope you do the same... Good Luck :)

For example going to the gym 5 times a week. I write which days are push, pull and leg days, and which days i do cardio, because then i will know on the day, that i owe myself that workout. It has helped a lot, because i used to say to myself on the day that i was too tired ro run after that hard workout. Now i just do it without no second thoughts.

    I think I just can't force myself to "just do it"
    Because it feels like that "resistance" triggers the anxiety in me and it paralyzes me until there's only like 20mins left to do the thing I'm supposed to do.

      Read something recently that said that there's no way to think your way out of anxiety. Your only chance besides just waiting it out is to actually do something, anything. Been trying to do that lately and it's been helpful :)

    When you said the thing about your perfectionism I actually laughed out loud because I literally left a long-ass comment on your “quick ways to get out of a rut” video about how my perfectionism immobilizes me and I always feel like I struggle with this more than other people/feel very alone in that struggle. Your vulnerability about your own struggles with perfectionism is so SO helpful you have no idea!

    That same resistance is what differentiates unsuccessful and weak from the opposite. Being the master of your thoughts by having control over that resistance is the beginning of a road of successes. You invest in success by paying with discomfort.
