I remember when you said "if you want to better at maths, just practice one problem a day." Well here I am two months later and my maths practice has become a habit! Hope to learn higher maths and physics one day.
As an introvert I struggle often with taking action. Living in my head is my constant default. I do take action from time to time but never really in a consistent manner.
The trick here is, to really try to get out of your head and JUST DO. Do not think about thinks because if you started to think you will run down this rabbit hole and eventually you will find yourself overthinking, because of you thinking your brain will make up excuses to NOT do stuff and instead think more. So JUST DO the things you WANT TO DO.
*Time is the only resource.* Everyone is running out of it. Excuses, laughter, ignorance, inaction, or otherwise... there are only so many hours which remain. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge; hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ --Diamond Dragons (series)
Finally! A sensible mind that helped me in remembering the same things I kept pondering to myself. You are a twin in thought and I will say the power of belief is the limiting or the greatest change we can change. Decision leads to action and then you have your result and all of your results are what you are. All your actions are what you are as results.
Man I needed this. I’ve been sitting here overthinking about this girl I like and letting past rejections stop me from going for it. I just need to take action instead of worrying about the past and the what ifs
Make sure to be direct but gentle in your approach. Use qualifiers to downplay your emotions when you make direct statements (I "think" I "might" have a little crush on you. So do you want to grab coffee sometime?). Go towards the romantic goal with small steps (little crush) but don't use words that come further down the line such as "date", "I feel a deep connection", etc. But ultimately, we can't decipher how women feel. So, although you feel heavy and impatient inside, the outside world is harsh and won't necessarily correspond with your heavy emotions. So don't try to force it.
I never realized how bad my procrastination was until I graduated school and didn’t have anyone setting deadlines for me anymore. I’m fortunate to have been able to keep moving, but staying stuck is a real threat which has kept me away from my true passions.
I started a few years ago-done know exactly- to watch you when you had a group of people watching and now you're 1 million man, you deserved it if you ask me and I know you'll have more. I started when I realized I had a liking in maths in high school watching your videos and so on, but then my life took a turn and I chose medicine over engineering. Now I'm in medicine and trying my way of things. People struggle a lot but some people have the disease of reflecting on their struggling to find reasons and solve these problems. When you're in a situation like that, you just need a bigger brother making you act. And you really make me do things, make me act and I really appreciate you for your success man you're great overall this comment became a very autistic one but love from Istanbul
Dear The Math Sorcerer Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the valuable insights you’ve shared about procrastination. Your thoughtful approach to such a relatable topic is both inspiring and motivating. It’s incredible how your content makes complex ideas feel accessible and practical for daily life. Building on the theme, I’d like to share a brief reflection inspired by the Stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. He believed procrastination arises from neglecting our purpose and duties. In Meditations, he emphasized acting promptly, guided by reason and virtue, and focusing on excellence in each task. His wisdom teaches us to approach life proactively, appreciating the brevity of time and the importance of fulfilling our potential. Thank you for consistently providing such enriching content. It makes a meaningful impact on your audience, including myself. Best regards, Antonio de Sales
Math Sorcerer, this last serie of videos about taking action and dealing with the procrastination you hit the apple you know.. That is the thing that doesn't allow us to do math, to do other things in life. I watched so many "productivity" youtubers but only Math Blogger's message finally reached me. Last 3 months i did NOTHING procrastinating like hell. But last 3 days I started preparing for my math exam and... thats not that hard you know.. Now I think only about why have i wasted all this time when the answer was so close?
My old calculus professor used to tell us "Don't just sit there: differentiate something. Anything." I have always remembered this advice when I can't decide what to do. I think of it as a mathematician's way of saying the old Woody Allen advice that 80% of life is just showing up.
So glad you are busting these out as I felt depressed for failing my first calculus class. Logically I feel it is simply a right of passage. I’m not giving up and I thank you for your upliftment and yes, focusing is the hardest part about math for me. I am learning how to focus bc of it.
i need to watch this every morining I have two weeks before finals. your videos on integration are helping a lot. thank you, you have created a great resource with this channel.
Thanks for this video. Short and sweet. This is exactly what I've been trying to teach myself for the past few months. It's easier said than done, but I'm getting better each day!
Im an IIT-JEE aspirant and big fan of your channel...though we are faraway from each other, I always feel a deep condition with you through your video. I wonder if you make a video on IIT-JEE math(it's really hard) and advise how we should deal with this type of advanced maths! Hope you see my comment.... Love you from West Bengal, India ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful video. I'm one of those people who tends to get caught up in daydreams and endless rumination about the past and future, so this video was a really helpful and refreshing reminder to focus on what is truly essential: taking action in the present. After watching this video I decided to get back on track and actually start doing math again after procrastinating for ages, so thanks once again, seriously. You rock 🤘
Hello from the US! While I've been subscribed for a while (& appreciate, though am not great with math...only had through one term of college calculus long ago) & always "thumbs up" the occasional video that I watch...THIS was your best one yet, simply because it's completely true & applies to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING! Yeah, I DO know all that you said, have heard others say it, & have thought it MANY times, but it's very difficult to follow. As Tony Robbins says, "Knowledge is NOT power; knowledge APPLIED is power!" So, thanks for this timely reminder just a few weeks after I set a number of significant short-term AND long-term goals. Best wishes; Merry Christmas; and Happy Holidays to you, others, all creatures, & our fragile planet!!
I watch all of these motivational videos of alpha males going to the gym and what not with loud music wanting to relate to them that I should focus no matter how hard it is and I should stay committed to my goal but it never felt more real than these videos you make in your channel because it’s giving me an actual framework or logic or the science or (whatever you want to call it) behind achieving my goals and what is the meaning of that to me I couldn’t be more grateful thanks a lot ❤
What a perfectly timed video , ive been planning and gathering books for the past week and havent really gotten started on any of them ive collected my own humble hoard of E-Books like apostol's calculus , steve roman's and axler's linear algebra , practical statistics for data science , mathematics for machine learning as well as discrete mathematics by Sussana Epp and last but not least how to prove it by Velleman. Thanks for the perfectly timed video , it was the final push i needed 👍
I already did what I can do. What I need is someone who CAN'T do what I can do but does what THEY do. Then, we can both become financially stable and both entertain & educate people along the way. After that, I'M BROWN FRIGGIN' BREAD. As in d34dge, kaput, zonked, wrecked, flat on my back, dunzoh. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins.

I feel very depression I am from Turkey and I am going to good university related to engineering field (ıtu) my department is petroleum engıneering and thats my second year. my calculus notes was low and I get this lesson again for upgrade but my lesson programme is very intense my gpa is very low (2.19 ).I study but I dont get high points even if I study . anymore I dont feel posivite about me .I dont know get thorough this sutiation , I reallly fed up with everything
You actually have the spiritual gift of wisdom from God. Jesus loves you. Put your faith and trust in Him as Lord and Savior and you can receive eternal life. Also what you’ve said is very convicting and true. God bless you. I hope to put this into practice. Thank you so much for this! I appreciate the encouragement.

Mate, you’ve produced so many videos in the last few weeks. You’re supposed to be winding down around Christmas!
All about consistency and discipline, thanks Math Wiz!

simple, actionable and enough.thank you
Couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks!
Simple and powerful. Thank you. ❤
Encouraged to be in the present and never procrastinate. It's no point predicting the future,as it will be different to what we thought. Thank you.
thank you for your continuous guidance, sorcerer.

Awesome video! Thank you!
3 things that changed my mindset:
1. Faith.
2. Consistency.
3. Reading books on nixorus.
Nixorus like the website? I looked it up on google
great list
yeah your right thanks for reminding me you helped lot
Thank you. I'm going to replay this every morning as motivation!
You're brilliant at math inspiring everyone of us thank you sir
Thank you, friend.
thanks for the advice, that is a fantastic fireplace by the way

This was was meant to happe neventually. All great mathematicians have also been great philosophers. He's becoming the one!
I prefer talking to people in person even if I get nervous.
perfect timing on this upload
Past is past that we change but we can change for the future if you live in the present.. I am confused about the present whether we should enjoy it or make use of present time Long back i read on living in the present but i have forgotten it.
thx for video teacher I love youu , greetings from Turkeyy
"A new significant other" 😂😂
The present is our present
Hey there, Math Sorcerer! I’m curious to know what you think about habit tracking and bullet journaling.
I ultimately know what I want but knowing how to get there is a struggle of mine.
If we can spend a random video on locking in our best best focus could lead to change as we provide the energy we have to maintaining the best we can. It takes focus. ❤ not a view.
Like this comment as a petition to get Math sorcerer to write an official calculus textbook
As a man thinketh. That is not men. It is yourself.
I feel very depression I am from Turkey and I am going to good university related to engineering field (ıtu) my department is petroleum engıneering and thats my second year. my calculus notes was low and I get this lesson again for upgrade but my lesson programme is very intense my gpa is very low (2.19 ).I study but I dont get high points even if I study . anymore I dont feel posivite about me .I dont know get thorough this sutiation , I reallly fed up with everything
No i dont 😅. I want to get python mastery, it isn’t easy to find a fantastic map
You actually have the spiritual gift of wisdom from God. Jesus loves you. Put your faith and trust in Him as Lord and Savior and you can receive eternal life. Also what you’ve said is very convicting and true. God bless you. I hope to put this into practice. Thank you so much for this! I appreciate the encouragement.
What if we gave people strong stimulants? You know, to stimulate lol
I started watching your videos because I thought you were a 'sorcerer'. Can't blame me though, the hair confused me.
Won't let me like so heresa comment instead
