    When I am stressed, "to do" lists overwhelm me, so instead, I create a "have done" list and add things after I've done them. I find that helpful.

    What helps me is that work space not only has to be organized, but beautiful and inspiring. That helps to make you want to continue working in that space.

    When I found Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, I found that I was playing it almost all of the time; I would get home from work, start playing until bed time. I would get up, shower, go to work and then come home and play Daggerfall. I realized that this was not going to really get me anywhere, so I made a list of things I wanted to do and told myself that I couldn't play Daggerfall until I had done one thing (or made some progress on one thing). Suddenly, I was accomplishing a lot of things until, one day, I had only one thing left on the list: apply to graduate school...

      I had that problem when Diablo 2 Came out. I eventually uninstalled the game and gave the discs to a friend. Felt like stopping drugs.

      @@Wolficefang Oh God no. I had graduated with my bachelor's and was working a pretty well- paying job and Morrowind came out... which inspired me to buy an Xbox...fortunately, I had enough momentum and discipline by then-- and the game was so much smaller-- that I was able to exercise a modicum of self-control, only playing a few hours a day.

    I really liked your second tip a lot. Perhaps it has been problem for me to start off...
    But now i found a good solution.
    Whenever i feel too lazy or hesitate to start off, i will set a timer for 20 min.
    No matter if i take break after that...
    At least i started off, which won't build up my stress further and help me to sit again..
    THANK YOU

    Procrastinating is not laziness, as long as you get the things done procrastinating is totally fine. Some people work best with some last moment stress.

    • @Tamaresque
      @Tamaresque 4 роки тому +1

      No, I disagree. Procrastination is a curse. You can put stuff off indefinitely or only do the thing you need to do when you can no longer ignore it.
      I like the idea in one of his other videos of just doing something for 5 mins. For me, 5 mins would be better than avoiding it all together.

    I'm a mix of the 2 types of lazy. My job is very mentally draining plus I'm in school and away from home 3 nights a week for 14 hours, plus the occasional weekend shift. The days I get home after work at a normal time, I'm just so tired I don't want to do anything.

    Thank u for this. This is the first video about this that has actually been speaking directly to me about the feeling that I have of all my laziness I honestly have not felt like anyone else gets it until I heard you explaining that sensation of laziness I’ve never heard it called laziness before. Just the inability to start things, but it does it boils down to not having the energy to start and I think that it is because I have sleep deprivation. Is that some thing that you deal with as well I don’t know if the sleep deprivation is the cause of my ADHD, or if the ADHD is the cause of the sleep problems.

    I agree laziness is a habit. To beat it I say to myself that I will work only for one pomodoro sesion. You are right the hardest part of any task is getting started. Than the momentum will keep you moving. I have a question: how do you divide a task in simple small steps? Only reducing the time I'll work on a task helps me to start, but it doesn't give me a sence of completion.

    I do enjoy watching your videos and find them useful, mostly practical and always thought provoking. However, it is interesting that in this video your advice is to acquire an "Accountability Partner" to remind you of what you have said you will do. BUT in your video "Never Tell People Your Goals" your advice is "NEVER Tell People Your Goals - Or You Won't Achieve Them
    ". Please can you explain what seems to be a contradiction here?
    Many thanks and please keep up the good work.

    • @pouriatajvar4857

I don't have an accountability partner but if I did, I would tell them "I want to read a book for 30 minutes every day" and "I want to work on an independent project for 30 minutes every day"... something like that so that they could ask me if I did follow those times every day or week...
