i am a free man and i want to procrastinate
a damn, I can relate!
As a fellow free man who just realized his freedom not to long ago, I must ask the following question: what or who is present in your life that's making you want to procrastinate? It sounds like you have a lot of external pressure trying to force you into a particular direction, in contrast to an internal pressure that is driving you toward what you truly want in life. I could also simply be projecting my issues on to you. If so, I apologize.
@@BulletTheEnforcer "what or who is present in your life that's making you want to procrastinate?" Easy to answer: That would be myself
Exactly.
@@ataarono yes, but why? Whose making u procrastinate as in what are the external forces pushing u in a certain direction
I skipped most of highschool till the 10th grade which was when I dropped out and was thinking about killing myself. Later I went to a college with a work-at-your-own-pace program for highschool credits. They basically gave all the responsibility to the students to whether or not they wanted to show up or even do work and they treated me like an actual human rather than some piece of shit. So basically I showed up 10 minutes early for class every day(each day was only 2 hours) and aced all my courses and finished highschool much earlier than my friends, and much happier too.
Jerrick Marques that’s awesome, I’m happy you made it through that rough patch in your life! Keep on keeping on.
@Jerrick Marques where do you live? I want to do what you did,but I am not sure it even exists in my country... What is it called?

Wow, it started as a laptop repair, but ended up as starting to get my shit together again and making my life great again!
I put it on "Watch Later" for months.
Today, I decided as a free man, to watch it and I regret nothing! What a great and powerful monologue.
Thank you, Louis. Today, I learned something. (:

I agree to an extent, but fear of failure and lack of confidence are two of the main reasons for procrastination.
I disagree.. that's Anxiety which holds you back.
@@blackswan8651 fear of failure lack of confidence = anxiety?
nah, if I put off washing the clothes or doing my homework, that is just resistance. its not that I am feeling I will fail at the task or I am not confident about washing the dishes -- I just don't want to.
The funny thing is that you may procrastinate because of fear of success
@@Diginegi now how does that make any sense?
Me: Hm, my room looks like crap.. I'm gonna set a timer for 1 hour and clean this shit up.
Mom: Hey your room looks like crap, you should go clean it..!
Me: No.
Yeah, I'm like that too. The moment people start forcing/nagging me to do something, the less inclined I feel to do it, especially regarding things I was planning to do anyway.
It's like a "I don't want you to think I did this ONLY once you wanted me to" response. It's like I subconsciously don't want to give people credit for what were otherwise my own original ideas.
This.
@@benakinjo1859 I feel that. Being told to do something makes me more unhappy to do it most of the time.
the problem with this is that i don't want to accept this advice exactly because Louis is telling me to do it.
@@benakinjo1859 yep, in other words pure ego. I’ve learned in those cases to just tell them, and actually shortly detail how long or how thought out were my plans to do so; if they don’t believe me that’s on them. I want to do this because I want to. If that’s also what my mom or whoever wants to and it makes our relationship better that’s cool. If it only made them feel better because I’m doing what they told me to again that’s on them.
It’s just a waste of time and energy to think so much about “who am I really doing this for” when it’s something you *know* you want or need. AND a waste of purpose. Because you already had your very own drive towards something and you threw it away just because someone else also thinks it’s something you should go for
I was feeling bad about myself for the most of my life because of putting off work, I felt useless.
I realised something similar about procrastination a while ago, but now, hearing it explained by someone who applied it and got somewhere, and is not in the middle of the road like me (doing freelance technical work for pennies to gain experience and fill my resume) may be just what I needed.

I literally procrastinated watching this video. I've known it's a problem, saw this episode, and procrastinated watching it.
Well, I'm here now, time to change.
YES! i've been free from my former abusive relationship for all of 2016 and i can tell you its great, i've achieved more personal goals this year than i ever did in that degenerative relationship
I am very happy for you!
Thanks Louis, your videos have been helpful. Happy new year to you from London, I hope your 2017 is a good year
That is why I stay single but have friends. (Some with benefits, but most just great friends!).
My 7th grade math teacher gave us a speech like "You don't have to do anything". As in a sense to say you have the choice to stay home from school or go to school. That was my way of realizing that I have the freedom to make my own choice. And everyone took it as they wanted. I took it as freedom of choice but there will be consequences from said choice.
Your procrastination videos really are a service to the world that everyone should see.
I got in a lot of conflict with my parents when I refused to go for a steady, safe, work your whole life comfortably in an office, job - that pays like 2x the average salary. Instead I decided to be a free man, doing my own business.
A year later - I earned what an average person earns in a decade here (and that's me being cheap because I don't have a giant resume, so I wanted to attract with price), while doing work I love and that I choose or refuse to do.
I work from home - a home that I bought from that year's salary.
For some reason, the people who were advising me to go the first path either hate talking to me about my business, or live in denial about how successful you can be as an individual.
A company that pays you 6 figures is earning 7 figures off of you.
What type of business are you in?
College is more of an obstacle to success than it is a help.
well for a lot of shit a diploma is needed, but yeah mindsetwise i agree
Nikita Watch his Video about how college is not what it seems.
I think some fields should be studied in college. I for example want to become a doctor, if I'm not going to med school and learning medicine from webMD I'm not helping myself in any way.
I can see that yea. If your goal is to avoid college but you go to college, then yea, logically it follows that it's an obstacle to being successful in your goal of avoiding college.
Gilgamesh Ashur I was mainly referencing the fact that most college graduates end up not getting the job they want.
I could've used this advice 25 years ago. Figured things out myself, just a longer and harder path, lol.
Although, of course, I probably wouldn't have followed profoundly wise, dramatic, and life-changing advice being offered by Louis the 3-year old.
Well, i always got one question in mind (which is probably really silly question at the age 19) "Do i really mature enough to make my own decisions in life, like quit school which i don't like at all and finally get a job to make some money, to start my own business, to work on things that i like... Or should i just follow the path of misery and it will make sense later"
It's not a silly question. I didn't trust that anything will make sense later. There should be a clear vision now as to why I am doing something. If that doesn't exist it will not make sense later. Look at how many people hate their jobs, hate their lives, and just accept it because they hoped it would "make sense later." Don't waste your life!!
I don't even bother looking at them anymore. T460p at $2k doesn't have thunderbolt, no anti-microbial keyboards anymore, no dedicated volume buttons, I'm not paying a premium for that shit.
I've followed the path of misery and there is no reason to follow it if you know what you want now, I thought I couldn't do what I want because it was not possible until I got motivated by people like Louis and other here on youtube.

Haha Jire, didnt think I would see you on a video like this. Thanks for your epic ESEA undetected CSGO cheats dude.
i'll admit, i cried when you said your free. ive always held myself back, and it never occured to me im oppresing myself, that i am my own slavedriver. but your right i am free. i thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me see what i needed to see
So did I
There's nobody more enslaved than the guy who thinks that he's free. It's back to Plato's Cave Theory. Everyone in the cave thinks they are free because they've never been outside the cave. Money is the mark of the beast. If you need to purchase things you are a slave. Everything God provides is free. Food grows on trees. #GospelOfTimothy
@@GospelOfTimothy I don't agree.
@@TeodorLojewski you don't think food grows on trees? You don't think God is the provider? You don't think God owns everything and you can't buy or sell anything without buying or selling stolen merchandise? Then you don't believe in God.

that part about guilt and parents hit home so hard. I spent 3 years in uni 1 year foundation 2 years repeating year 1 for a course that lead to me sitting with a loaded gun in my mouth for 2 hours a few weeks ago.
After that I said fuck it I will either quit uni or flunk everything so they kick me out so I can finally do what I want.
I managed to both quit and flunk uni btw. and lo and behold I'm no longer permanently miserable, I also feel like for the first time I am in control of my life
can I ask what course that was? and im glad you feel happier now, its can get pretty depressing and stressing in college but remember that you chose to go there and if you dont like what youre doing you can always change cuz youre in control of your life. take your parents advice and consider it, but dont let it run you over. most parents are just worried about their kids and want them to take the safest route possible for their own personal relaxed state of mind.
Problem is that you still have to pay the loan,so not so free if I say
I am stuck in a constant haze of doing a job for a company every day and i know i can do it on my own running my own business and live a much more comfortable life. i just seem to procrastinate and cannot get out of the daily mode and have no motivation to actually get my own business going. I have a feeling its probably diet related... i just have no energy.
All the best for 2017 Louis.

Just 7 minutes in, and I like the conclusion you come to. However, I don't know if I agree that procrastination is the response to oppression. I understand why you arrived upon that word, given that your example fits it well. But using myself as an example, procrastination comes as a result of anxiety which stems from the knowledge of impending unfavorable circumstances. More specifically, I'm sitting here since 9AM watching youtube videos in a warm house on a comfortable couch, procrastinating about going to the garage to tinker on a project because of how cold it is. Though, if I make the conscious decision to weigh the risk (cold temps) vs the reward (feeling accomplished, enjoying the end result of the project) I can justify in my mind the decision to go outside and brave the cold.
This comment is really good.
Thats an extension of oppression. Opressed by uncomfortability. The discomfort is still tangible whether its someome yelling at you that causes discomfort or your brains thermostat
You are a free man... You can make your garage warm and cozy so you can work... Or you can ditch your project since it doesn't matter to you... You are not obligated to recieve the reward... You are a free man...
@@throwaway999able If you want to stretch definitions to fit a preconceived notion, then sure.
Shaquille Makowka if you want to stick to a single definition of words, you probably should start speaking c++.
Definitions can vary, you know?
That particular definition about oppression is not even an official one. It's just an interpretation. So why bitching?
4:35 - "I'm debating whether or not to edit this out".
Never edit out Blackberry, or any other cat... EVER!
Some of the best decisions that I have made started with the phrase, "Fuck this!" LOL :) Freedom is nothing if you don't exercise it. Sure, it sometimes breaks your balls and you have to suffer, but it really is a beautiful thing when it works out. :-D
i finally watched this video in 2020
Came to your channel for the repair videos, stayed for your thoughts on life. Thanks for that Louis. I also walked away from a studio in nyc and felt crazy for it but compelled to by my conscious. Advice can kill if you let it. Happy 2019 sir hope many good things are headed your way
It didn't feel right for me to just sit and watch without thanking you. I never even thought I needed to hear this but thank you
this is easily one of my favorite videos on the internet. I stop by this once and a while to remind myself that you have the true freedom to make your own choices, no matter what situation you are in. I think people get so caught up in a daily routine that they completely forget why they're doing it in the first place - like a full-time job. And it leads them down a negative path of depression. On top of the nihilistic perspective/feeling that being a slave to the routine gets you. You forget the big picture. I hope you make more videos like this in the future because I look forward to these more than I do the amazing repair videos. Thanks Louis.
-adds video to watch later playlist-
I needed to hear this man.
Thank you!
One of my biggest realizations that kills me a little inside is: what I want, I don't really want as bad as I think I want it. I take pleasure in living a comfortable, mediocre life. I want to finish an album and start my own record label, but I think to myself, "As long as I work on it here and there that'll be good enough, I'll eventually achieve that goal just much later than I should." I want to get into investing but I think to myself, "I already make enough money to live the lifestyle I am currently living." I'm content, but complacency seems to be my current obstacle.
I don't watch this channel too often but when I do I really appreciate what I hear and see.
You're really onto something, man. Have a happy new year.
Fantastic , i am from brazil and my dad have a store of fix phone and laptop, i'm sayng that because he show you for me and I learning a lot with you about fix and the life cause you are brilhiant man ! Thank you for all.
I cant get rid of school

Why you are there?
I have missed these type of videos. I would love to see you make more of these
Louis, thank you for making my New Year's Eve.
This is a great video, I wish I could take the advice, but sadly I don't even have personal goals or dreams to chase in my life so I keep grinding myself out in the rat race hoping not to wake up every day.
You're amazing dude, so young and yet so accomplished.
Amen. Could not agree more. Hopefully a Truck hits me tomorrow
This came into my recommendations at such a good time.
I am just finding your channel. I love your discussions. Keep up the great work!
This video is a great paradigm shift for the new year. Thank you!
Very anecdotal advice. This is more about “be a freelancer” to control your freedom. Procrastination has been found out to be a emotion regulation problem, not motivation or willpower.
Nikko Tan yes, but sometimes the emotional regulation has to do with having internalized our oppressors. It’s not for everyone, but it’s something real to think about
Your very good at presenting your videos. Very compelling to listen to.
Thank you so much for this! That's what I really needed right now. Good to know, that it's not my laziness that keeps me procrastinating.
An odd coincidence that this video popped up in my recommended videos exactly two years later, what you had to say in this video was very important for me to hear, thank you.
Hello Louis, just wanted to say thanks for all your rants and repair videos. I just found and subscribed to your channel a couple weeks ago. I really enjoy your view on life and want to wish you the best in 2017. Thank you for all the great videos.
You know what? You're 100% right. There's this paper that I have to finish and I just didn't want to spend my time on it. Now I do. Thanks. :)
This definitely up there with one of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten.
Now I watched it to the end. This is a powerful message. Thank you!
Rossmann, I'm so glad I found your channel. You are such a wise, funny and intelligent person, I wish I had a friend like you. Keep up your good work, I enjoy every one of your videos, and wish you all the best in 2017, in your private life, in your business and on your youtube channel. Thank you for your videos, once again.
Ironically, I watched this video while procrastinating.
Thank you for making these videos dude, you're my hero.
Man what a wake-up call. Hit the nail on the head.
I wish I could say that I'm being oppressed into doing things i don't like so that I'd feel better about myself. When I quit what I'm doing now I'll just run straight back at it. I am actually procrastinating, because I'm lazy.
also consider fear of putting in effort "trying" without succeeding.
No, you are just denying that you are free.
Look man, I know you got hundreds of thousands of subscribers who watch your videos, and you can't read every comment, but I really do just want to say thank you. Having started my own detailing company upon graduating high school and trying to keep the dream alive through college with my parents telling me, I was unrealistic, I was going to be poor and that I should just get my degree, when going to school every day felt like prison, hearing you speak this reality of freedom, really opened my eyes. It opened my eyes to the reality, that something that I chose to do and invest my time, effort and work into is worth infinitely more, than all that other stuff I did, because I was "supposed" to. Thanks Louis, keep inspiring, fixing and improving lives, one board at a time👌
That's awesome! I hope the best for your company.
Thank you! It'll be my third year in business this May. Watching your videos has shown me that the biggest risk for me, wouldn't be to continue in pursuing my business, but needlessly following the path laid before me in school and in life. Things suddenly do make sense when you realize you own your life, your choices and your future.
I recommend that everybody watch this video, it really resonated with me. Thank you for posting this.
Louis, you're a very kind person. Stay true, and keep up the good job man. Cheers from Colombia.
Yes I think you're right on all accounts. Well done Louis.
Great video Louis. Thank you and happy 2017! You are a true inspiration to so many of us.

In your videos, I have many times heard "Im editing this part out". If you would, I would not hear that :D I mean, I dont mind, but I just wonder if you never edit anything out, or just mostly never edit anything out? Your ability to just tell an interesting story with a point half or one hours straight is pretty awesome.
Well, there's an edit at 18:41 ...
Truly insightful - one of the more thought provoking youtube videos I’ve seen in awhile
Louis, you are an amazing person for making these videos
This is actually interesting to hear as a parent. I always want my children to have choices and make good choices, unfortunately explaining consequences to children is difficult. They don't have an adult's patience. Still, it is important.
Also, sometimes you are still a peon because the consequences are not always proportional or fair. That's where it becomes important to prioritize. What unfairness will you tolerate? What unfairness would you give your life for fighting? If we are really talking about oppression, it is life or death.
Thanks for this man. My dream is to go travelling and I have the money saved up all year now but I still haven't quit my job and just gone. It makes it much harder when my job is super comfy and I get on with everyone. I hope I get the courage in 2017
James Twigg just go .... go .... and don't turn back
Did u do it?
This is probably the best advice you could hear. Thank you Louis.
Thank you so much for this video. Im naturally very interested in the things im interested and vice versa for the things im not and ive been going to school to get a better career but i cant bring myself to study or do the hw and i know myself and ive been struggling with the fact that im in school for something im not interested in. I feel like after a long time of listening to what other ppl want from you you procrastinate because you know in your heart that you dont want to do it.

I have a job I really like, where to my boss and coworkers think I'm some sort of magician (I'm good at low level languages, linux, terminals, cloud infrastructure and servers). But I've been lacking a lot on it, I'm lazy at the job, and I miss most deadlines, really sloppy right now tbh; they started to see that I'm falling behind a ton. I've been trying to figure out why am I doing this.
I now realize this problem Is directy related to my relationship with my gf, who lives with me. Things are not good between us, and she has been very abusive, dependant, toxic and disrespectful of my time. I really feel I can't do shit without attending to her, without explaining myself to her, and without putting her first. Not even a 1hour videogame match without me being interrupted or requested to do something.
During work hours she doesn't bother me that much (still does to some degree, as I work from home), so when she isn't around, I procrastinate, I get that small little freedom I can get, even if it's watching a random video, opening social media, etc.
I need to step up to her and set things right, even if our lives are SO intertwined together (family, friends, hobbies, same house), it's not the end of the world, I can rent some random place and start over from there I guess.
Thanks Louis.
How has that gone?
That was a damn good speech! I have nothing to add. Thank you for that,

Louis, you magnificent... man! I had danced around this concept, never seeing it clearly. You sure put a strong light on it, and made it clear! Thank you.

"It's a kitty cat, that's the secret"
Shit. Here I was owning dogs all of my life. No wonder I haven't gotten anything done. Do you think ferals count, or do they have to live in your home for their feline magic to work?
Patrick Hayes lots of kitties out there need a home and they’re cheap or free from shelters
In my opinion procrastination as lots to do with a lack of self confidence and fear of failure. You can say you are free man but you may be not if you don't belive enough in yourself. "Failure on a logistical level can expose what feels like an inadequate, child-like or vulnerable self. If I try and don’t succeed, everyone will know I’m _________.
You can fill in the blank with your own worst nightmare - stupid, weak, unworthy, etc.That’s a much harder prospect to deal with than a simple loss of resource".
I agree with you on some points but I'm afraid you should have better consider that aspect as well. I wonder why when I'm under pressure would I ever consider to put things off in stead of full accomplish the required task? Why it's so hard for somebody to accomplish in stead of procrastinate (me included of course)? Do you think most of the success people did their home works just because they were not free or because of mom's request or just because they where allready free from other kind of self defence mechanism? I mean what's wrong with feeling free just after have accomplished the required task? I consider myself not free at all whenever I put things off and that's what actually tell's me I'm inadequate lovering my self esteem and make me procrastinate the next task as well... I'll feel myself a better and free man everytime I get rid of my ridicolous procrastination attitude.
Failure breeds avoidance.
That's an interesting point of view on procrastination. Thanks for making this video!
