I have always suffered from the habit of procrastination, but I was usually able to control myself at the very last moment. But now I am in my senior year and for some reason I totally lost control and I can't even concentrate for few minutes on my studies , all of a sudden I started developing different interests in so many activities and I keep procrastinating my studies. Thank you so much your tips seem to be really helpful and I will start working on them now in shaa Allah.
Queen of Da House idk what is this website you shared. Can you explain that? And...do you have a proof that Allah is not the God and that safety is in Jesus Christ and Christianity? Can you explain?
Another great strategy is to make your working schedule and environment more pleasurable. Take a lot of breaks, drink coffee, eat many small meals, do yoga in breaks, jump around, open the window for fresh air, play your favorite music, dance.And of course have an organized desk and clear tasks for the day.
Wow! So, I spent a week watching videos on how to not procrastinate and etc. Yet, I couldn't start working on it. Yesterday, before sleeping, and tired of lying to myself, I finally wrote down the things I should do in the following day and the priority of each task. Turns out that today it only took me 3 hours to start doing what I should have started MONTHS ago! Writing down the stuff you gotta do is REALLY POWERFUL, it's simple but it gets you started! THANK YOU BRIAN!
andrefaaa ikr!! I have found that by writing down my list of things to do for the next day before going to bed, not only helps me get things done but also makes me sleep better because I have less stuff on my mind
Because this goes beyond just thinking. You thought about it, you planned it, you wrote it, your eyes saw it, you also read it too (out loud or not, but you did) - so it got strongly emphasized to your subconscious mind
One thing that has helped me on this subject, is setting time aside to relax and enjoy. Try to take the weekend off. I mean truly take time off. No checking your bank account, cancelling subscriptions, career thinking, or other monetary stress.
I read so many books about procrastination and hear so many advice about it. and it works. but there are times that I feel putting things off. now I realized that the cause of the problem is not the books or Brian Tracy but...only MYSELF. 😔
@@bk4927 well I don’t know if it’s because of this video or not. I honestly forgot I even watched this video. But 3 years ago I was doing my A levels in Year 13. I achieved 3 A’s in A level biology, chemistry and maths. I’m in my 3rd year of medical school right now. This is the U.K. system btw.
This was unexpectedly useful. I think doing a check list helps, as long as you actually do the things in the list. The only way to move forward in life is getting proactive. I have paid a high price for procrastinating in my life, so I need to break this horrible habit if I want to be successful. There is no doubt in my mind now, what has prevented me from success is Procrastinating, so I'm taking my life back now. Amen!
Getting up at 5 am and going for jogging is the thing that I am putting off. Before going to bed I write on paper 'tomorrow morning I get up at 5 and go for jogging'. Then I will do it no matter how do I feel. Thanks Brain Tracy sir for this valuable video
His analogy of eating the frog was interesting. I used to be a caregiver and as you can imagine, had some very unpleasant tasks to perform. I would always say to myself, "Don't think about it, just do it and you can always wash your hands." That would get me through even the worst tasks I had to perform. I never ever dreamed that I could apply the same principle to avoid procrastination! Truly life changing for me!
Sir u r my first mentor and the most favorite. I am so gland to land on this channel I have two books that you wrote 'Maximum acheivement' and Goals. When I was broke, sir you as a guide came in my life through a books which changed my entire way of thinking I started to read Maximum Achievement since the age of 13. Sir I am so gland that I finally heard your voice and today I am watching you it means a lots to me. Thank u so much sir for writing and guiding millions of people. I read the last question of this video many times in your books. Thank you so much sir one day I will become a part of the 1% population of this world and I am always ready to pay the price. I am very grateful for everything sir.
Rizwan Qamar I usually tell myself the same thing I taught my cousin's two older boys when I's training them for baseball. Ya GOTTA get after it. (the ball).
Brian is a classy wise and incredibly experienced in his life ,he is the real deal . His teaching is super insightful to the human condition. I love it.
I run a Brian Tracy cd in the car,pretty much,on an ongoing basis...and the laugh is ....when you’ve got a stream of positive motivation going into your brain everyday.....you haven’t got time for procrastination...because i,ve got so much momentum going ....I,d have to make quite a big conscious decision to grind to a halt and procrastinate about anything to be honest. However,not doing something isn’t necessarily a bad thing.......I would advise anyone to start reading books about how to improve the quality of your decision making processes,because doing that will create a template for problem solving and creates momentum,.....and look at the virtues your basing those decisions on,are they the right ones, Through the Pandemic,I’ve ended up working as a Covid Marshall,was doing all the shopping for 3 households,keeping it all together when my brother in law was on a ventilator and in a coma with Covid......There was nobody to talk to because everybody was going through it all together....and listening to Brian,s rock solid principles,in a way was the navigation through the storm,because when everybody seemed to be losing it,a calming voice in the car was exactly what I needed all the Best
I love you Brian Tracy, you are genius!! A few years ago I somehow found your videos and speeches in youtube and they have transformed the way I see the world and think :D I could not thank you enough :D
Out of all of the so called self help gurus out there, Brian Tracy is the one I keep coming back to. A lot of his advice is common sense and simple but that's what makes it so great.
A task I have been putting off is looking for a job in a Pharmacy. I have been out the Pharmacy job site since July of this year and keeping up with bills have been a struggle. Now believe it or not half way into your video I received a call from a Pharmacy that turned me down last month and figured they would give me a try! Your videos puts out so much good vibes and energy. Thank you sir!
Debra Goring I know right! I spoke to the Pharmacy manager Thursday evening, he want me to come in today to fill out paperwork, the start of getting me on board. I'm too excited that I can't even sleep! Haha..
I have heard the word procrastination before but never tried to know the meaning of it but today one of my friends has suggested me to do procrastination while I was in the training in a new organisation and watch the video. Finally It happened I did it after I reached at home. And From past 2 years or more I have been putting off my preparation for Civil services and didn't go to any institute to get my coaching started. so now today I'm going to collect all the information and all about my coaching/career and will plan it accordingly from today. Thank you so much for this video! 💯🏄🙏
I'm going to restart my journey to achieve my goals, I'm putting it right now! I'm starting it right now!. No matter how many times I will fail. I will never QUIT.
I have been putting a lot of tasks off. Starting with my own health, by not working out, to my studies. I get my studies done at the last second. I procrastinate the whole day, and when my mom falls asleep on the sofa next to me, I start working or studying for exams. I set entertainment priority, which is wrong. I am smart, but I have been getting lower grades as of late. Not only because the gcse course is difficult, but also because I haven't been studying as much. I am getting low grades in business studies and computer science, which are my favourite subjects. I am not a good programmer, because I do not practice enough. So, I shall start today, right now actually. I shall start revising for my exams and setting my priorities straight- school, health, my family. Thank you. And I hope you have a good day, Mr. Brian Tracy. I listen to this everyday, you inspire me a lot!
From this video, I learned that I should change my way of thinking. I often tell others how procrastination hinders me getting things done or started, so I thank you for the advice. Much appreciated 😀
Dr.hemant Adikane hello , this is how i got here, too ! i started in January and tried all kinds of approaches, but it just did not work. and now with beginning of November, the grey, misty, cold, uncomfortable month, i got up at 6! Finally! Keep trying! maybe you can comment what worked for you? motivating regards!
That's my goal! I thinks it's more important that anything to get up in the morning and exercise to start the day off. But it's such a hit and miss for me :( I only wake up at that time maybe once or twice a week.
Dr.hemant Adikane what worked for me was to set your alarm clock half an hour earlier every Sonday night. this allows you to use one entire week to getting up at that time. don't turn it off for the weekend, you gotta keep at it. also, it does take a level of self discipline. don't allow yourself to hit the snooze button. so I moved my radio in an area where I HAD to get up and out of bed to turn it off.
Thanks Brian, I'm going to start on this daunting 12 page paper. I needed your help to get started but i think i'v got it from here Thanks for your words of wisdom
One critical task I keep procrastinating is the book I intend to write. It seems like the book is in my head, but how to transfer it on to a paper; this I keep procrastinating. Thank you Brian.
I have a history essay that I have putting off for over two weeks, and we were on winter break and that was perfect time to finish it and I barely even started. Now it's due in two weeks, in the midst of school and my other extra curricular's, and I really don't know what to do now. I've decided that with the few hours of the day I have left I'm going to finish my research, write down my three subtopics and actually start on the first paragraph. Hopefully this isn't too big of a goal and I can get at least 90% of it done.
SCRIPT FOR THIS ENTIRE VIDEO: How to Overcome Procrastination - Brian Tracy - UA-cam If you do things in the right way you will get whatever results you desire. Change your thinking. Say to yourself, "Do it now" Here's a trick for pulling yourself away from the temptation to procrastinate. Just say the words, Do it now. Do it now. Do it now. These magic words will motivate you and push you to get started. When you repeat these words "Do it Now" often enough the message will get pushed deep into your subconscious and act as a trigger for getting things done right away. If you spend all of your time thinking about how your habit of chronic procrastination gets in the way of all of your goals, motivation and dreams then your subconscious mind will accept that as the truth and that's how your life will continue to be. If instead you spend your time thinking about how wonderful you are at getting difficult and important tasks done right away and how incredibly organized you are with your time. Then your subconscious mind will come to accept that as the truth and you will start doing more of those things that overcome procrastination and get more things done faster. So that's the first critical step in not only changing your habit of procrastination but any habit in general. Change your thinking. The next strategy is from his best selling book on time management, Eat that Frog, and it is this. If you have to eat more than one live frog. That's what I like to call a daunting project or task, a live frog. You should eat the ugliest frog first and you should do it right away without any delay. It doesn't do you any good to stare at the ugly live frog in front of you, this big task. Simply resolve to take action and get it over with. Your entire life will be uninhibited by the daunting tasks that once prevented you from moving forward. It's important to remember that you cannot manage time. Time exists completely out of our control. So you can't manage time. What you can do is manage your life. Time management is really life management. It is the management of the sequence of events in your life. It's the ability to choose what you do first, what you do second and what you do later if at all and in this ability to choose lies your entire life. When you choose the most important thing and you choose to do that first. And you choose to do that rather than anything else. You immediately put your life onto the fast track. In fact you can actually double your productivity, performance and output in one day simply by changing your order of choices in the way that you use your time. Now let's talk about the best way to use our time in order to move us closer to our goals. How to Use Your Time Effectively: The way to do this is by developing a single minded focus on the things you need to do that will have the most important and beneficial impact on your life right now. Whenever you're faced with a task you must ask yourself, What are the consequences of doing or not doing this? And if the consequences of not doing something are irrelevant then don't do it. And do the things that have serious, immediate consequences. So here's what you should do each morning to set yourself up for success and to determine which task you need to get started on right away to make a sizable difference in your life. Plan each day in advance. Take time each morning to address your major goals and then write out a list of the things you need to do that day in order to get closer to those goals. Set priorities on each item so you don't skip your most important tasks and then get to it. When you jump right into the work day and start on something really important right away the level at which you work for the rest of the day will be increased. Before you wrap up I'd like to leave you with a thought to share with your friends and followers. If you do the right things in the right way, you will get whatever results you desire. One final question. What is one critical task that you've been putting off? And what will you do TODAY to start working on that task? Remember if you want to change your future. Take action and take action NOW. Summary: - Change your thinking: say to yourself over and over '' do it now" - start with the most difficult task first - focus on the most important things in your life - plan each day: goals, timing, priorities - TAKE ACTION NOW! DO IT NOW!
I've been wanting to start my chiropractic care again. The only chiropractors I can find that take my insurance are so far from my home the drive time isn't worth the care. Or so I've been telling myself. Watching this video made me search for new chiropractors in my area and there are 2 new ones but they don't take my insurance either. So I went back to my list and explored the self-pay option with several of them. The cost is not in my budget but I'm looking into removing a few things I really don't need in it to cover the cost. So this video inspired me to take that action. Thank You So Much, BT. You're Awesome!
1. Repeat to yourself: "Do it now! Do it now! Do it now!" 2. Eat the ugliest frog first, right away, without any delay. 3. Time management is life management. Change the order of your choices in the way you use your time. Choose the most important thing and do it first rather than anything else. 4. Focus on things that have the most impact on your life right now. Ask yourself, "What ae the consequences of doing or not doing this?" If the consequences of not doing something are irrelevant, then don't do it. 5. Plan each day in advance. Take time each morning to address your major goals and write out a list of things you need to do that day in order to get closer to those goals. Set priorities on each item so you don't skip your most important tasks. Then just get to it. When you jump right into the workday and start on something really important right away, the level at which you work for the rest of the day will be increased.
thank you sir! i study in class 12 and procrastinating a project on business studies by just researching..so today i am going to buy pages from market and at least make front-end pages!
MY GRATITUDE. Sincerely A Lot of Thanks to you my GRANDFATHER. 10-12 years ago My Teacher had gifted me the book "सबसे मुश्किल काम, सबसे पहले", the HINDI TRANSLATION of YOUR BOOK. Today is the Day I'm able to msg to one of your viewer about the drastic change I'm experiencing by putting your QUOTES on my walls to help myself from procrastination. Thank you My Grandfather. MAY GOD KEEPS YOU HEALTHY WITH ALL HIS LOVE AND CARE. 🙏
Less thinking, more doing. Dont't pay attention to your immidiate feeling, but look for the feeling of acomplishment. It's worth more than anything in life. Just like a cold shower, It might be terrible in the beginning, but feels really good when your done.
I'm here because of my problem with Procrastination and self discipline. I can't seem to pull myself from practicing my lessons and studying. I will start changing my mindest and apply those steps in order for me to overcome this obstacle in accomplishing my goal.
Man your way of communication is really inspiring I didnt see a successfully communicator like u so far. Watching you rather than learning makes me feel better. Thank you
"every single person want's to earn more money, want to have nicer home, nicer car..." What if I don't wan't those things. I have this feeling like I have everything, but if you looked at me you would say I don't have much at all.
When I woke up early, everyone in my house are sleeping and that made me sleepy too... Even if I try to manage one day... The other day I can't wake up or control my sleep in front of them.... It's actually a typical procrastination... But I'm trying each day to get up early (bcoz I think that waking up early gives us more time to complete our schedule) but in vain 😓
I know your struggle. I've been trying to do that too. But if it was really easy, there wouldn't be any procrastinators or even thousands of courses and seminars about this subject. Let's move forward.
Most people would say they're watching this while procrastinating, but I'm watching this while doing my homework, which I feel really proud of myself for.😂 If there was an award for procrastinating, I'd probably be the winner.😥😂
I have to create a demonstration lesson for a middle school. I have been putting this off, as it feels huge. Today I am going to break it down into steps, prioritize them, and then get the first step done.
Getting up at 5 am and going for jogging is the thing that I am putting off. Before going to bed I write on paper 'tomorrow morning I get up at 5 and go for jogging'. Then I will do it no matter how do I feel. Thanks Brain Tracy sir for this vedio.
Good morning.. I'm Luvander Hollaway. I just watched the video on how to overcome procrastination. I'm an artist, I love the draw, and I have people that want drawings from me. I've agreed to those drawings, but those drawings have never come to existence because of the fear of me not being able to do it. I've had this fear in the past, but when I actually push through and did it, I realized that I was really good at it. Now a similar job, and my subconscious is thinking about everything that can go wrong with it, instead of how good it will look once I finish it. I've been procrastinating this art business for a few years now. I would have some glitches of motivation, but it will be quickly taken down by the fear of failing. After looking at this video, those simple steps that you suggest, really has me thinking differently now. Changing my habits or changing what I do first should I say, telling myself I can do it or getting the big frog out of the picture so that I can see the beauty of that frog on the other side. I just need to know what steps can I possibly take to keep me thinking like this. Do I need to change my scenery? Thank you for listening
Basically deep inside we believe we procrastinate , you have to mediate deep and hold the point why you think and believe that way and say to yourself I am not , I don’t believe it and just move on ! It worked for me just sharing so that it will be useful to others
They have had a lot of great times already. It's not sad getting older. It can be wonderful getting older if you have the right perspective and do things to keep you feeling young and joyful and if you have connected to God and love your life and yourself now and also believe God is already with you and always will be and you are eternal and are here to enjoy it and also that we all will come back to do it again and again. Even if you don't believe all I said with or without the God parts it is still great with the right perception and are enjoying life now and plan on doing that until the end and doing the best each day to enjoy it. That is what I've been doing since very young and I am many decades older now. Still having fun everyday. I did start studying when I was 17 about self-help and self-improvement and also when I was 30 began studying health and alternative health enough to stay feeling young even day and how to on the rough days bounce back like new.
I am procrastinating on writing boring essays for English. If i didn't do one and have been procrastinating on doing the other. The second would be very late. I am at risk of not passing the class.
I just started to use hourly scheduler and I am doing a minute long performance review of the previous day each morning. That pushes me forward. I am running out of goals. Thank you, Brian!
I am jobless since 10 months now and everyday I procrastinate on preparing for interview and looking for a job. I bet, I am the biggest procrastinator in the world.
Mr. Tracy i have a bad habit of skipping my morning runing schedule ... i find it pretty hard to wake up early each morning and do it ... however this is my 3rd day since i watched this video ... I recite these words "do it now" as long as it takes for me to get going and that works miricale... I once again thank you for such wonderful video .. please keep posting such videos they are of great help !!✌
I have been putting off studying since 3 months for an exam and consequence of which I failed a mock exam. My actual exam is a few weeks away so I wish to not procrastinate and get my work done. Thank you Brian sir!
Whenever I watched your videos, I feel like I'm listening to a very wise man or my grandpa whom I never met who exist to show me a good path. I really look up to u and you inspired me to be a better person. Thank you Mr.bryan💕 stay healthy and cool😎😊
I was procrastinating on completely studying a topic I used to start it without any deadlines or clearity, I'm goin to be clear and set clear doable and achievable tasks, ill do it now ill do it now
Managing My Daily Discipline Schedule! I have tried so many different ways and I just want to find the strength to help me give it a try again. I try and I try...only because of this video I'll complete the last 10% of revising my daily calendar that I haven't as yet and give it a shot.
This is so true. I get overwhelmed by the big stuff that I have put my studies on hold nearly a year! And that’s the part of my life that will have the major impact to get me into a worthwhile job I love. It also makes me feel like I’m failing. Today I’m opening up the books :)
I have been putting off organising my home there are places in my home I don’t want to organise but the immediate effect will be very beneficial so I’ll get right to it thank you Brian Tracy
Oh Mr. Tracy, you calm straight forward guidance is so welcoming and is resonating in me right now. I promise myself, right now, to start doing the Ugly Frog first. I've been letting stupid tasks get in my way. Could you believe I just organized my stack of food receipes in my kitchen instead of working on my taxes? I'm changing that. Thanks for the kick in the pants in your loving way.
summary:
- change your thinking: say to yourself '' do it now"
- start with the most difficult task first
- focus on most impacfull things in your life
- plan each day: goals, timing, priorities
- TAKE ACTION NOW.
no start and plan from easy things , your success will motivate you to achieve difficult goals.
How I can stop overthinking?
Great now I cant watch the video. :D
NOIRE I can’t do the last one. It’s midnight lul
Prashant Ray get another video
Swear, I just added this vid to "watch later" without even thinking. Then I was like "damn, I guess I need this now more than ever." 😛😛
The amount of productivity videos bookmarked/added to watch later on my computer is more embarrassing than my porn search history. Ed the bestest!
Edan Khan what's ed?
same here lol
Kelly Fairman I did the same thing lol!
Funny!
I have always suffered from the habit of procrastination, but I was usually able to control myself at the very last moment. But now I am in my senior year and for some reason I totally lost control and I can't even concentrate for few minutes on my studies , all of a sudden I started developing different interests in so many activities and I keep procrastinating my studies. Thank you so much your tips seem to be really helpful and I will start working on them now in shaa Allah.
Thanks
I'm in my final semester and trust me i can totally relate..
Did it work?
Queen of Da House idk what is this website you shared. Can you explain that?
And...do you have a proof that Allah is not the God and that safety is in Jesus Christ and Christianity?
Can you explain?
Keep going dear and never give up
Procrastination will be appeared in several life differently but in that moment its your turn to overcome it
Another great strategy is to make your working schedule and environment more pleasurable. Take a lot of breaks, drink coffee, eat many small meals, do yoga in breaks, jump around, open the window for fresh air, play your favorite music, dance.And of course have an organized desk and clear tasks for the day.

I been putting off life for about 10 years. I'll get on it eventually.
Being a follower of Brian Tracy for than 4 years now, I can testify how intensely and exponentially my life has changed...
May God bless you Brian
I love Brian Tracy. My life has improved exponentially since I discovered his audiobooks. Thank you!

Look of all them up mate - take a pick.

Do it now! Do it now! Do it now! (I use this mantra Now). Thank you Brian Sir!
Yup, right NOW! Not later
Mine is a little more hardcore : I have a post-it on my computer screen "Do or Die". =)
Rizwan Qamar I usually tell myself the same thing I taught my cousin's two older boys when I's training them for baseball. Ya GOTTA get after it. (the ball).
I always say to myself, "Make like Nike and just do it."

I love you Brian Tracy, you are genius!! A few years ago I somehow found your videos and speeches in youtube and they have transformed the way I see the world and think :D I could not thank you enough :D
Out of all of the so called self help gurus out there, Brian Tracy is the one I keep coming back to. A lot of his advice is common sense and simple but that's what makes it so great.
A task I have been putting off is looking for a job in a Pharmacy. I have been out the Pharmacy job site since July of this year and keeping up with bills have been a struggle. Now believe it or not half way into your video I received a call from a Pharmacy that turned me down last month and figured they would give me a try! Your videos puts out so much good vibes and energy. Thank you sir!
Wow!
Debra Goring I know right! I spoke to the Pharmacy manager Thursday evening, he want me to come in today to fill out paperwork, the start of getting me on board. I'm too excited that I can't even sleep! Haha..
I have heard the word procrastination before but never tried to know the meaning of it but today one of my friends has suggested me to do procrastination while I was in the training in a new organisation and watch the video. Finally It happened I did it after I reached at home.
And From past 2 years or more I have been putting off my preparation for Civil services and didn't go to any institute to get my coaching started. so now today I'm going to collect all the information and all about my coaching/career and will plan it accordingly from today. Thank you so much for this video! 💯🏄🙏
You motivate us so much Mr Tracy. Much respect .God Bless You
I'm going to restart my journey to achieve my goals, I'm putting it right now! I'm starting it right now!.
No matter how many times I will fail. I will never QUIT.
I'm procrastinating right now, I have 12 units of school shit to do in less than 2 weeks. I hate homeschooling...
I have been putting a lot of tasks off. Starting with my own health, by not working out, to my studies. I get my studies done at the last second. I procrastinate the whole day, and when my mom falls asleep on the sofa next to me, I start working or studying for exams. I set entertainment priority, which is wrong. I am smart, but I have been getting lower grades as of late. Not only because the gcse course is difficult, but also because I haven't been studying as much. I am getting low grades in business studies and computer science, which are my favourite subjects. I am not a good programmer, because I do not practice enough. So, I shall start today, right now actually. I shall start revising for my exams and setting my priorities straight- school, health, my family. Thank you. And I hope you have a good day, Mr. Brian Tracy. I listen to this everyday, you inspire me a lot!
Mr. Tracy, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you!! 😍
From this video, I learned that I should change my way of thinking.
I often tell others how procrastination hinders me getting things done or started, so I thank you for the advice.
Much appreciated 😀
I have to work on getting up at 6 am in morning.
Thank you.
So do I.
Dr.hemant Adikane hello , this is how i got here, too !
i started in January and tried all kinds of approaches, but it just did not work. and now with beginning of November, the grey, misty, cold, uncomfortable month, i got up at 6! Finally!
Keep trying!
maybe you can comment what worked for you?
motivating regards!
That's my goal! I thinks it's more important that anything to get up in the morning and exercise to start the day off. But it's such a hit and miss for me :( I only wake up at that time maybe once or twice a week.
Dr.hemant Adikane what worked for me was to set your alarm clock half an hour earlier every Sonday night. this allows you to use one entire week to getting up at that time. don't turn it off for the weekend, you gotta keep at it.
also, it does take a level of self discipline. don't allow yourself to hit the snooze button. so I moved my radio in an area where I HAD to get up and out of bed to turn it off.
Alvin Dueck i want to wake up at 5:00AM. Please help me somehow
from now on , i will priortise and put consistent effort into my studies.
I was procastinating the study of particular Subject.Today I will try to do it.One day I have to do it.
I read once no excuses and man it's been 3 years and I'm still a huge fan of you sir
Brian Tracy, changing lives one awesome free video at a time.
I have been procrastinating on writing my first book. I can start working on the outline of the book TODAY.....and I WILL!!
Thanks Brian,
I'm going to start on this daunting 12 page paper. I needed your help to get started but i think i'v got it from here
Thanks for your words of wisdom
Jesse Skelton same
Do it now! I'm not a person that procrastinate a lot, but sometimes I do. But from now on, this will be on my mind! Thank you
Thank you .
This one is really Helpful.
" Do It Now "
One critical task I keep procrastinating is the book I intend to write. It seems like the book is in my head, but how to transfer it on to a paper; this I keep procrastinating. Thank you Brian.
I have a history essay that I have putting off for over two weeks, and we were on winter break and that was perfect time to finish it and I barely even started. Now it's due in two weeks, in the midst of school and my other extra curricular's, and I really don't know what to do now. I've decided that with the few hours of the day I have left I'm going to finish my research, write down my three subtopics and actually start on the first paragraph. Hopefully this isn't too big of a goal and I can get at least 90% of it done.
Brian, you're such a genuine gentleman. It shows that you care about people and their success. Thank you!
SCRIPT FOR THIS ENTIRE VIDEO: How to Overcome Procrastination - Brian Tracy - UA-cam
If you do things in the right way you will get whatever results you desire.
Change your thinking. Say to yourself, "Do it now"
Here's a trick for pulling yourself away from the temptation to procrastinate.
Just say the words, Do it now. Do it now. Do it now.
These magic words will motivate you and push you to get started.
When you repeat these words "Do it Now" often enough the message will get pushed deep into your subconscious and act as a trigger for getting things done right away.
If you spend all of your time thinking about how your habit of chronic procrastination gets in the way of all of your goals, motivation and dreams then your subconscious mind will accept that as the truth and that's how your life will continue to be.
If instead you spend your time thinking about how wonderful you are at getting difficult and important tasks done right away and how incredibly organized you are with your time.
Then your subconscious mind will come to accept that as the truth and you will start doing more of those things that overcome procrastination and get more things done faster.
So that's the first critical step in not only changing your habit of procrastination but any habit in general. Change your thinking.
The next strategy is from his best selling book on time management, Eat that Frog, and it is this. If you have to eat more than one live frog. That's what I like to call a daunting project or task, a live frog. You should eat the ugliest frog first and you should do it right away without any delay. It doesn't do you any good to stare at the ugly live frog in front of you, this big task. Simply resolve to take action and get it over with. Your entire life will be uninhibited by the daunting tasks that once prevented you from moving forward.
It's important to remember that you cannot manage time.
Time exists completely out of our control. So you can't manage time. What you can do is manage your life.
Time management is really life management. It is the management of the sequence of events in your life.
It's the ability to choose what you do first, what you do second and what you do later if at all and in this ability to choose lies your entire life.
When you choose the most important thing and you choose to do that first. And you choose to do that rather than anything else.
You immediately put your life onto the fast track. In fact you can actually double your productivity, performance and output in one day simply by changing your order of choices in the way that you use your time.
Now let's talk about the best way to use our time in order to move us closer to our goals.
How to Use Your Time Effectively: The way to do this is by developing a single minded focus on the things you need to do that will have the most important and beneficial impact on your life right now.
Whenever you're faced with a task you must ask yourself,
What are the consequences of doing or not doing this?
And if the consequences of not doing something are irrelevant then don't do it. And do the things that have serious, immediate consequences.
So here's what you should do each morning to set yourself up for success and to determine which task you need to get started on right away to make a sizable difference in your life.
Plan each day in advance. Take time each morning to address your major goals and then write out a list of the things you need to do that day in order to get closer to those goals.
Set priorities on each item so you don't skip your most important tasks and then get to it.
When you jump right into the work day and start on something really important right away the level at which you work for the rest of the day will be increased.
Before you wrap up I'd like to leave you with a thought to share with your friends and followers.
If you do the right things in the right way, you will get whatever results you desire.
One final question. What is one critical task that you've been putting off?
And what will you do TODAY to start working on that task?
Remember if you want to change your future.
Take action and take action NOW.
Summary: - Change your thinking: say to yourself over and over '' do it now" - start with the most difficult task first - focus on the most important things in your life - plan each day: goals, timing, priorities - TAKE ACTION NOW! DO IT NOW!
thanks man
thanks
Why would you take the time to do this?
@@eow4317 because hes a hero
👏 👏 👏
I am procrastinating often in studying. I will be saying" Do it now!" to gradually end this.
You're amazing Brian! Thank you for your constant wisdom.
I haven't completed my assignment yet. I will do it right away. Procrastination is my biggest enemy in life.
Do it now really works... I have just came back to say that...
Vikas Gupta good to hear. I have used “I love to do it now” and it works well for me and my son
Harrison’s Wrestling world I like that even better! I’m going to try that!!!
How bro?? Pls reply did you repeat verbally do it now in hindi language or in English. कैसे किया😊
@@creativesolutions5922 केवल इंग्लिश में बोला ब्रो
Becasue I'm not getting the result after repeatedly saying 'do it now'. You must have said loudly rather than in mind.
I've been wanting to start my chiropractic care again. The only chiropractors I can find that take my insurance are so far from my home the drive time isn't worth the care. Or so I've been telling myself.
Watching this video made me search for new chiropractors in my area and there are 2 new ones but they don't take my insurance either. So I went back to my list and explored the self-pay option with several of them. The cost is not in my budget but I'm looking into removing a few things I really don't need in it to cover the cost.
So this video inspired me to take that action. Thank You So Much, BT. You're Awesome!
I JUST DO IT :)
I'm from Bangladesh
1. Repeat to yourself: "Do it now! Do it now! Do it now!"
2. Eat the ugliest frog first, right away, without any delay.
3. Time management is life management. Change the order of your choices in the way you use your time. Choose the most important thing and do it first rather than anything else.
4. Focus on things that have the most impact on your life right now. Ask yourself, "What ae the consequences of doing or not doing this?" If the consequences of not doing something are irrelevant, then don't do it.
5. Plan each day in advance. Take time each morning to address your major goals and write out a list of things you need to do that day in order to get closer to those goals. Set priorities on each item so you don't skip your most important tasks.
Then just get to it. When you jump right into the workday and start on something really important right away, the level at which you work for the rest of the day will be increased.
Me to my mind: Do it now... Do it now... Do it now
Mind: Okay okay fine I'll do it now ( starts procrastinating )
Would like to say massive thank you to you Brian Tracy. You've changed my life. You're my hero. God bless xxx

Less thinking, more doing. Dont't pay attention to your immidiate feeling, but look for the feeling of acomplishment. It's worth more than anything in life. Just like a cold shower, It might be terrible in the beginning, but feels really good when your done.
I've this sudden urge to overcome my 2 week procrastination at 2 am in the morning.
And I feel attacked when I say *first thing in the morning..*
I am 13 years old and I am writing an important book. Today, I will start with that. Thanks Brian Tracy.
Thank you💜
I'm here because of my problem with Procrastination and self discipline. I can't seem to pull myself from practicing my lessons and studying. I will start changing my mindest and apply those steps in order for me to overcome this obstacle in accomplishing my goal.
Must Watch !! 😇

"every single person want's to earn more money, want to have nicer home, nicer car..." What if I don't wan't those things. I have this feeling like I have everything, but if you looked at me you would say I don't have much at all.
Thumbs up if you used procrastination bulldozer method to cure your procrastination..
helo
Thumbs up if you used procrastination, oke
very nice
awesome
Thanks to the author to make this video for everyone.
Thanks Brian Tracy!! You have been a personal inspiration throughout my sales career..may God continue to bless you with wisdom and insight.
When I woke up early, everyone in my house are sleeping and that made me sleepy too... Even if I try to manage one day... The other day I can't wake up or control my sleep in front of them.... It's actually a typical procrastination... But I'm trying each day to get up early (bcoz I think that waking up early gives us more time to complete our schedule) but in vain 😓
I know your struggle. I've been trying to do that too. But if it was really easy, there wouldn't be any procrastinators or even thousands of courses and seminars about this subject.
Let's move forward.
Most people would say they're watching this while procrastinating, but I'm watching this while doing my homework, which I feel really proud of myself for.😂 If there was an award for procrastinating, I'd probably be the winner.😥😂
Amazing tips, thanks Brian!
absolutely amazing tips! so true
I've been procrastinating on my school project and I want to resume working on it seriously today. Thanks
This one was personally for me :D
Tell me about it.
Thank you :-)
I have to create a demonstration lesson for a middle school. I have been putting this off, as it feels huge. Today I am going to break it down into steps, prioritize them, and then get the first step done.
Preparation for exams ...
And I'm gonna start with math right now
Awesome is the word!!!
I will do it now!!!
Procrastination is a thief of Time.
I ll complete my wave optics lecture,just because of fear of failing I can't let it stop me from taking action
Getting up at 5 am and going for jogging is the thing that I am putting off. Before going to bed I write on paper 'tomorrow morning I get up at 5 and go for jogging'. Then I will do it no matter how do I feel. Thanks Brain Tracy sir for this vedio.
I've been putting off finishing the next chapter of my fanfiction. I'm going to eat that frog and force myself to finish it.
Good morning.. I'm Luvander Hollaway. I just watched the video on how to overcome procrastination. I'm an artist, I love the draw, and I have people that want drawings from me. I've agreed to those drawings, but those drawings have never come to existence because of the fear of me not being able to do it. I've had this fear in the past, but when I actually push through and did it, I realized that I was really good at it. Now a similar job, and my subconscious is thinking about everything that can go wrong with it, instead of how good it will look once I finish it. I've been procrastinating this art business for a few years now. I would have some glitches of motivation, but it will be quickly taken down by the fear of failing. After looking at this video, those simple steps that you suggest, really has me thinking differently now. Changing my habits or changing what I do first should I say, telling myself I can do it or getting the big frog out of the picture so that I can see the beauty of that frog on the other side. I just need to know what steps can I possibly take to keep me thinking like this. Do I need to change my scenery? Thank you for listening
I would pay money to see this man eat multiple live frogs
Basically deep inside we believe we procrastinate , you have to mediate deep and hold the point why you think and believe that way and say to yourself I am not , I don’t believe it and just move on ! It worked for me just sharing so that it will be useful to others
so sad that people such as Brian Tracy, Robert Kiyosaki, Richard Branson are getting older.
Abdullo Iskandarov yes.
They're so cool. That makes you wanna meet them.
Robert isn't as great as I though he was as his company defrauded a few debtors not that long ago
So sad I'm getting older. 😣😄
They have had a lot of great times already. It's not sad getting older. It can be wonderful getting older if you have the right perspective and do things to keep you feeling young and joyful and if you have connected to God and love your life and yourself now and also believe God is already with you and always will be and you are eternal and are here to enjoy it and also that we all will come back to do it again and again. Even if you don't believe all I said with or without the God parts it is still great with the right perception and are enjoying life now and plan on doing that until the end and doing the best each day to enjoy it. That is what I've been doing since very young and I am many decades older now. Still having fun everyday. I did start studying when I was 17 about self-help and self-improvement and also when I was 30 began studying health and alternative health enough to stay feeling young even day and how to on the rough days bounce back like new.
ya so sad time works
I am procrastinating on writing boring essays for English. If i didn't do one and have been procrastinating on doing the other. The second would be very late. I am at risk of not passing the class.

I stopped the video as soon as I heard “do it now”.
And commented?

I was procrastinating on completely studying a topic I used to start it without any deadlines or clearity, I'm goin to be clear and set clear doable and achievable tasks, ill do it now ill do it now
Managing My Daily Discipline Schedule!
I have tried so many different ways and I just want to find the strength to help me give it a try again. I try and I try...only because of this video I'll complete the last 10% of revising my daily calendar that I haven't as yet and give it a shot.
I've been avoiding looking for a job and tonight I'll lay out my game plan for tomorrow and prioritize
This is so true. I get overwhelmed by the big stuff that I have put my studies on hold nearly a year! And that’s the part of my life that will have the major impact to get me into a worthwhile job I love. It also makes me feel like I’m failing. Today I’m opening up the books :)
Good for you keep going
Best wishes
I have been putting off organising my home there are places in my home I don’t want to organise but the immediate effect will be very beneficial so I’ll get right to it thank you Brian Tracy
Homework, is what i leave to the end of the day and studying i never study, ill tell myself do it now!
Oh Mr. Tracy, you calm straight forward guidance is so welcoming and is resonating in me right now. I promise myself, right now, to start doing the Ugly Frog first. I've been letting stupid tasks get in my way. Could you believe I just organized my stack of food receipes in my kitchen instead of working on my taxes? I'm changing that. Thanks for the kick in the pants in your loving way.
