I saved this to watch later! 😂😂😂
Lol
😂
Old joke and not funny anymore..
I just did that as well and then saw your comment! Thx for the reality check! 😅
@@kingofcelts you’re the old joke…NEVER funny…
Procrastination Is by far the worst thing I struggle with. If I could change one thing in my life that would make the greatest impact...it would be to never procrastinate ever again. It has ruined more in my life than the traumas I suffered as a child. It has cost me so much. Friendships, relationships, jobs, my retirement...places to live...its truly horiffic. I have done it for so long I don't even know where it comes from. It is devastating and can strip you of your self esteem.
23 minutes in and I legit feel my brain came out of my head, spun around and went back into my skull IN THE CORRECT POSTION ! 🙌🙌🙌.THANK YOU.
Thank you. Looked at the length and figured naaah. But I'll watch 23 mins
I'll help you save some time. 1. You have stress. Name it and acknowledge it. 2. Forgive yourself. 3. Think of future you. 4. Countdown to 5-4-3-2-1 and get started and they will help with momentum
don’t forget #5: The Progress Principle - Make A Little Progress Everyday: 5/10/15 min. ---> do something important to you ❤
Thank you 😂@@peachybeachy3635
You are god sent
I’d rather watch the whole video to delay what I need to do.
@@Panzer67 hahahaha!!!

I study for 1-3 hours with breaks in between while I keep you company

Hopefully it will be useful for you...
Hey Mel, my name is Jamie and I love watching you. I am a 40-year-old Grandma. I am waiting on my disability due to my mental health and I’m an addict always being an addict since I’ve been listening you helped tremendously. I felt so lost I didn’t know what to do in my life and I still kind of don’t know what extra work to do. Kind of find it, I’ve been waitress in like kind of restaurant business all my life. Maybe you could talk about the next step of life I think I’m going to menopause too but thank you so much for everything.
The most beautiful thing is… you are sober and have the ability to do anything you want with your life ❤
Only into first 20 mins and this episode is already one of my favorites. She’s talking TO me 🙏🏼 thank you!!
But Mel, I invite YOU into my morning routine. After my toilet break I head into the spare room, drink water, stretch my back over the exercise ball, then grab my weights, then sit down for 30 minutes and either write or do my Dimond painting. And then I break my 18 hour fast with a healthy blend of bone broth and coffee and sun in my eyes. But as soon as I get into that spare room, I pop on your podcast. Sometimes, our phones aren't holding us back. It's in what we choose to do with it.
Just finished cleaning my room while listening to you.. yes i stoped and repeat to listening sometimes.
This was so good
You Mel is the reason this world is a far better place. May u stay healthy, happy and successful. ❤️
Love from India 🇮🇳
How does this have only 15k views?! I'm so glad this popped up on my feed. It's all hitting me, and this morning I got out of bed the fastest I ever have! Thank you

The best podcast interview I’ve ever watched . Starting my NEW YEAR off right !
Thank you Mel . You have gained a new subbie. I needed this . I’ve been saying for yeaaaarrrrs I would start getting up early to get my day done . Welp, that day never started . But it was NOW
I have had this topic in my mind a lot recently and actually felt pretty hopeless today because I have a business plan for my non-profit to work on (and I’m really excited to make progress), but I couldn’t bring myself to even sit at my laptop to work. The universe knew I needed this in this moment.
Great podcast, this is exactly what I needed to hear today, love your delivery, worth every minute, thank you so much !!!
I just found you, and I am crying. This is helping me so much.
I am so glad I found this video. I went to UA-cam to find some help with my procrastination habit and dam I struck gold with this one!!! This video is so POWERFUL. Thank you Mel! You have a subscriber and friend in me! I can not wait to put the rules into action. Thank you thank you thank you!
53:33 the most important line for me, golden words🙏✨
@Mel Robbins.
Please do more on procrastination. This just touched the surface.
Thank you.
Not me breaking out in tears on this last 5 min of your Video ! Guess I needed that more then I believed ...
Iam a 29 Year old Creative living in LND and I do struggle with Procrastination lots of times , I didn't know about it until I have been bullied about it in my last relationship , I started to look into in . I managed to escape this this toxic Relationship bcs I knew I deserve so much more and as my biggest Criticiser I realised I have to be better tomyself to attract ppl that are good to me too . Today was again a day where I had all the time in the world but literally only managed to do the basic . I woke up tired after a nap I tok around 5 pm and I asked myself why are you still feeling so bad about you and your life . Bcs of the knowledge I already learned about procrastination I knew I have to change my mood and do something productive to distract my brain from being in this constant Circle of overthinking and low vibration . So I found your Video and ahnestly Mel I thank you so much for all of these words and your realness about it .
I got this and I deserve to be fighting and getting up for my Dreams and the life I wanna live .
Me listening to Mel talk about how it will spiral out of control, stress will paralyze, and how it causes a freeze while I am I'm on UA-cam avoiding doing an already overdue report for work that I have already gotten in trouble for. I am so glad I clicked on this video though - it has been so enlightening!
That was very confronting but at the same time it was a relief to know l am far from along with what l put myself through.
I'm inspired and excited to know it can be better! There is a light at the end of what seemed an endless, suffocating dark .tunnel!
Soy de México 🇲🇽 amo este contenido Gracias por tanto!!
Oh Mel!! You’re a life saver😘
I cried with this video. You gave us lots of tools and the forgive yourself piece for being a procrastinator was nice to hear. Great resource. Progress Yes! Thank you Mel's team.👍🏼
This is by far the most relatable and helpful video on procrastination! 💯 Thanks for sharing
It really is a big topic. Thank you for your teachings on this subject. You never disappoint! 💝🌍💝
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Mel.🏆👏
OMG! I love Mel and her way of talking about serious topics with so much care, warmth, and her jocularity that she place in between the lines makes me smile soo much, Thank you Mel. For doing this and you really get the point accross in the best possible way. Never stop being the amazing person YOU are. Thank you 🙏😃
Thanks Mel, Blessings!!! 😄😁😇🙏🫶🤲👍💯🙋♀️
You appeared in my life just in the right moment❤️Thank you!
Wow. This has been so confronting.
Thank you for making these videos!! ❤
Your so down to earth it makes it more interesting
Mel you are amazing! Thank you for this content. You've unpacked this very sore point I have been pulling my hair out over. A terrible blow of procrastination today. Few areas stressing me out. hahha good laugh for the scrolling aimlessly, I am trying to catch myself in the moment now :)))) Big hug and love !
I am Really Grateful To You Mel Robin ,
This is Amazing 🔥
Thank You Very Much ☺️
Procrastinating is something I’ve suffered with and still do sometimes… the biggest realisation has was getting the first 5 minutes done..
For example yesterday I started making a video about Alex hormozi and I didn’t know where to start, after I got the first 30 seconds edited I have a wave of inspiration!
You give me ao much hope. Thank you Mel!
This video was everything I needed on this moment of my life. Thank you so much!
Mel, you are amazing! ❤️
Ugh love you Mel❤
Mel Robbins thank you, amen. Ace🙂🙏🤗❤️
Thank you for this!
Act like you believe in yourself before you do believe in yourself. It's in the doing that you become someone new. A morning routine is essential -- your morning routine is like the first domino that falls.
Thank you so much for this wake up call! 🙏❤
I'm definitely feeling this today!
Thank you so much! It’s very important topic to discuss ❤
I've been analyzing what I've been doing the last few days-more success in many small steps and ways and I said to my self :"Why do I have to fight for it?" Success is happening. Mel is saying what I've been doing and now I realize it is like this for EVERYONE. I thought it was just me that had to fight.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing this great information with us! All the information you shared is great but as a life coach, I would also add that one of the biggest reasons people procrastinate is that they feel overwhelmed by the task at hand. When a task seems too big or too complex, it's easy to put it off because it feels daunting. In those situations, I find it helpful to break the task down into smaller, more manageable pieces. This makes it easier to get started and to feel a sense of progress as I work through each piece.
Definitely my situation right now.
I am really hard worker, I love to challenge my self but I don’t have plan and I am also afraid what if I fail.
@@learntoteach4244 A lot of people have same issues, but don't hesitate to VISIT! You'll get a solution for it!
@@karmicsheila63 Yeah, I can understand your situation. Don't hesitate to VISIT! You'll get a Solution to live your life happily 🙂
I understand this "breaking tasks down" concept but I still have a hard time doing it.
going to start working on it effective today.
Thank you. I actually procrastinated from my schoolwork by watching this but I guess it actually will break the cycle. I mean I hope. And I will try to do these things in my life. I meed to get out of that comfort zone to make it bigger
This is soooo GOOOODDDD! Great Content!!
Ευχαριστώ ❤
Wow soon I'm star to listening mell I feel the power to clean the house after two hour I did ..thank you fir this amazing words ❤
Awesome this is great
How do you know? The video is 1.5 hours long, uploaded 30 minutes ago and your comment was posted 30 minutes ago as well 🤔 😂
I'd love to digest UA-cam motivational videos too by osmosis by the way 😂
@@tubethis777 I meant by the topic of the UA-cam video that Mel just uploaded. This is a problem for many people so go back to watching it. Thank you
TRYED IT. MY DAY WAS PRODUCTIVE
Am glad someone finally spoke up from a woman’s perspective!
Great
I have been dealing with intense resistance & procrastination with Grad school. 😖 I can't bring myself to keep up with my homework. It feels like self-sabotage. I even sought therapy which hasn't been helpful. I'm supposed to graduate this year but sometimes idk if I'm gonna make it. 😔
Damn that was powerful ❤
Very motivational, tomorrow I'm gonna be a million bucks.
I've been seeing you on some podcasts and have been using the 5 second rule for only a couple days and so far the barbell has made it's way to my bedroom and I've showered every day. Baby steps, I know, but I have treatment resistant bipolar disorder and those are huge things for me right now. Thanks.

I must have fallen asleep, as when I started watching this, it was about procrastination, but then it became all about the morning routine. Guess I'd better watch it again!
Yep! Got way off the topic
I do wish you would use examples that apply to older people. Most of the time I still connect with you.
This!!!!!
Oh This!
THIS!!!!!!!
Wow
My procrastination relates to me getting to work on time. I love my job, I enjoy what I do, I need my job.. so I've been trying to figure out WHY I have been unable to get to work on time. This poor behavior puts my job at risk, and I want to keep my job. I think procrastination might be what hinders me in getting to work on time.
Same!
Gratitude:
As you're knowing, to foreigner like me
Yours are really understandable what are talking about. If not, repeating make clear after all. But sometimes when as international it can be serious problem.
I wish you known me that i will Thank you. madam. Hope i purchase your books or electric ones.
TU MEL!!~~~
Why is it that I watch videos like this and just cry my eyes out?
i hope this will see as many people as possible. thank you, Mel. you are big inspiration.
I feel so called out, I'm a PHD-PSY student in Trauma and Disaster Relief, I never procrastinate until my doctoral program. I want to break the cycle, I get anxious about turning my research in because "who would listen to me talk about CSA or human behavior following Se*ual trauma but the thing is I maintain a high GPA so I just think "oh I work well under pressure no big deal", but then the cycle starts again the next week :(
I'm trying to write my thesis now.
Yesssssss
Hello new best friend Mel! Goeie fok! (That's Afrikaans for Holy cr*p!)- Monday Morning here in Cape Town and I'm in front of my esel painting the portrait i've been procrastinating on for days. Harry our tripawd ginger has occupied one side of the bed when my husband left for work, so I only made my side. ❤ As an aside: Creatives often get stuck. My muse has left the building and i'm painting! 54321... I love you Mel!

I procrastinate about thinks that I find annoying or think I just don’t want to do
I am type one diabetes with childhood truma, procrastination is killing me when it’s mixed with my anxiety and brain fog.
I love mels glasses. They are like a mixture between JDs moscotts and your standard glasses I love it.
When is the best time then to get up? And how can I remember myself - doing the habit of the 5 second rule - do do that every morning without putting myself in too much pressure causing to not do that at all?
🌻
Can I watch Netflix while Iistening to this?
❤❤
I get so anxious with fear on medical appointments. I know I have to see dentist with gum disease/implants and I have been procrastinating on this for years. I don’t have enough courage to face this situation
❤
I really enjoy listening to you. You are very insightful and encouraging. The only issue I have is when you start cussing. It brings you down in my eyes and it is disappointing because I shut it down and turn it off. It honestly feels like a verbal attack. I know others may not think anything of it but I'm thinking there's probably a fair amount of people who feel as I do. I don't mean this as a hate mail scenario. I'm just trying to be honest.
I can swear like a trooper, so I'm used to bad language, but sometimes it's too much for me. And the cussing means I have to be very selective who I get to share the information to.
I agree totally and I choose not to listen to it. I asked her if you could somehow give us a heads-up so we can choose to avoid it. Just like movie ratings. I don't watch movies with it, so certainly with a podcast.
You guys really can't listen with a few f bombs thrown around? Sheesh. Just blur the word in your head and dismiss it. That's her choice of language, guys c'mon! Sometimes a curse word can have more impact. Though I know not all viewers appreciate it. She could use words like "friggin" or the letter itself like I mentioned in another comment. Idk, for me I like Mel's work and her message I can look past the sailor mouth.
I feel the same. That kind of language is a real downer. For me, it negated the good encouragement that was happening in my heart as I listened to Mel's words. Honestly, it felt like verbal abuse.
In addition, I know that Mel is a smart lady and has the ability to express strong feelings and opinions without the use of swearing. She does so in about 80% of her podcasts already.
There were some things in Mel's podcast today that I wanted to share with my teenagers, but I decided not to because of all the swearing. They don't use those kinds of words themselves, so I don't want to hold up someone as a teacher who is using them so freely.
How does this video olnly have 500 likes where another weird lady with hypnosis video has more than 100k likes. Love your video Mel!!!
How do I manage to NOT become so extremely rigid about my goal or the excessively high standards I set myself for causing the trouble not doing it at all?
Can someone summarize this 90 mins.
First 40 minutes - procrastination. There after - the morning routine.
Me watching this for the 5th stuff
She had me at the F bomb😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼
13:19
Galveston diet for menopause issues like weight gain
House work is my prob. Help please.
I love you Mel, but the constant F-words, I don't choose to listen to that. There are many podcast that are without it, and are great. You have a wealth of knowledge to share, so I am inquiring if like movie ratings, you could somehow warn us there are F-bombs within it, and we can choose to pass on it. This would be wonderful and extremely helpful. Thank you for considering and implementing something to warn us. Thank you very, very much.
That's just who she is. She's hard as nails on some things. She's trying to drive it into you because we all have that little voice in the back of our heads going "what the f am I doing?!" I think Mel is the manifestation of that little voice. 😂 I get where you're coming from though. All viewers should be taken into consideration. She could use words like "friggin" or simply the letter haha
Yes, using profanity consistently makes it appear that the person's vocabulary is limited. There is a long list of adjectives in the English language that can be utilized.
So either the person speaking has a limited vocabulary or the person is taking the lazy path of communicating.
I would also add to the morning routine the habit of brushing one's hair after brushing their teeth. I J S.
I first saw Mel on The Today Show. Certainly I don't believe that a woman is required to wear make up.
However, there's something to be said about a person taking a couple baby steps in taking some pride in their appearance.
I'm procrastinating by watching procrastination videos.
😘⚘🍸
A 1.5 hours video without chapters... thats exactly what procrastinators need. not.
Lol, I think I'm using this video to procrastinate.. is this productive? 🤔
1.3-hour video on how to fight procrastination by an "expert". An expert would know that procrastinators need less than 5 min vid and only important staff. Seems like the only solution I discovered is to wash my head with cold water and start that shitty task)
Too many adds
