Do this: 1. Think about what you want to do 2. Put your intent into words in your head. If it’s something you don’t exactly want to do and are just doing it to get it out of the way to do other things, then say why you’re doing it. 3. Feel the emotion from your verbal intent 4. Act on the emotion This has helped me a lot with procrastination, the only time this really fails is when you don’t think about what you’re supposed to be doing/want to do
Really appreciate this perspective, especially the very last part about disciplining yourself even if there's no real reason. This concept has had immense benefits in my experience!
Hardest way to boost your willpower is to get into the bad habit and pull yourself out of it immediately. It's extremely hard to stop doing the enjoyable thing when you're already sunk into it, just know that it won't be that bad when you come out of that comfort and start doing the uncomfortable
Which Video from him include this questions?; 1. What kind of person do i want to be in this world? 2. How can i live my Life in a way that i would be proud of?
I can prevent myself from something I want to do, but I cant make myself do something I should do... I feel like the video is about the first thing I mentioned not about the second one tho...
when you were talking about willpower, at 1:11 you said "a lot of people these days don't seem to have much of it, and don't really know how to improve it" and a picture of Putin flashed by, not saying anything in particular just stating facts. love all your work, by the way, keep it up 🤙
Procrastination is a trauma response and a mental habit. Habits are possible to break and redirect in 2 weeks of consistent redirection. Who can do it for 14 days every day??? 😢😢😢😢😢😭😖😖😖
I have the least willpower when it comes to hunger pangs. Even if I really want to eat less when I deprive myself the hunger pangs destroy willpower as I look for food the stop the hunger pangs. I can't lose weight. Comment??

That's my case actually i don't know what i want to do 😢
The second step doesn't work, my mind just immediately goes for the word "pleasure", I want to fight this addiction 😭

man you do make me feel better when i try this stuff thanks for the videos
I started watching your old videos and they are all full of value.
Self-Denial is also a Stoic technique. William Irvine's book "A Guide to the Good Life" is recommended reading here!
So simple and so value

keep going man and thank you for sharing this video and your time
Your absolutely right! I’ve been practicing this for the past few months and got more done when I Deny pleasure
Another technique, do something you want to do but you procrastinate it due to reasons that make you not do them but it won't hurt if they're done
Still doing it
Try to eat just one piece from a bag of chips!
I will die with deficiency of willpower if I do that 🤣
I have done an equivalent of this and it was horrible, 0/10 would not recommend
What about not eating any chips?

Our elementary teacher did the same marshmallow experiment on us when I was younger
I turned off autoplay on Netflix and UA-cam. It helps immensely with sticking to a limit I set for myself.

FYI the Marshmallow Study is not as clear-cut as people once thought. SciShow has a great video on that: ua-cam.com/video/GLcFCs7_ZKA/v-deo.html

the video starts at 0:38 be concise !
Anytime I hear someone start a suggestion with "just...." I stop listening. If everyone could "just do" things we would all have six packs.
Negative comment
Reminds me of Ramadan
