Main notes: - When you procrastinate, its really your brain tricking you into doing what it wants - Since you arent dead, whatever your doing right now is what it wants - This may not be what you want to do, e.g. playing skyrim while you want to study for a math test - Bypass this by asking yourself why you're excited to do the thing that you want to do; feel the emotions - Do the task & stick to it until the flow state kicks in
The way I motivate myself to study for university is by forcing myself to go to the crappiest smelliest 24/7 study room on campus and what happens is I get excited to leave the 24/7 study room because of how horrible the environment is and I make a rule where I cant leave until I feel good about the amount of work Ive completed. It works really well for me, this semester Ive been averaging around 12-15 hours at uni 6/7 days per week with a total of around 10-12 hours of straight working each session because im so motivated to gtfo of this trash room and go home and sleep.
I tell myself "just do it". Not "do it later" or "I'll do it when I'm home". There's no wriggle room for procrastination. Works to sell shoes and it works for me.

Hey Jordie, thanks for the tips. Could you please update the vid description to mention some of the sources you're thinking back to when describing these approaches to optimism and productivity? I'm interested to read further into the research behind it. Cheers!
Hey Jordan as someone who deals with clinical anxiety and depression this tip was actually told to me by my psychologist last week. Trying to implement them I noticed that when I was getting a task done my brain was constantly saying I should be doing something else like don’t work on my screenplay I need to study for my maths exam. Which constantly lead me to feeling like no matter what I was doing I was wasting time and I just sank back again. What can I do to break this cycle? I’m visiting my psychologist today but I showed her some of your videos and she thought you made a lot of good points.
Sounds like you've got a bad inner critic mode. When the critical voice comes up, thank it for it's concern and tell it that you've got this. Then reasure yourself with a kind voice, as if you were praising, encouraging, and cheering up a small child (which is also you), while also acknowledging concerns and limitations. I know your comment is from two years ago, but I hope things have gotten better for you!
What I do is identify that I'm procrastinating and then relentlessly berate myself for being a goob. Kinda like if a neet were to set 20 alarms all within 5 minutes of eachother in the morning just to spite himself since he always wakes up at like 3 in the afternoon.
Hey I met you on Saturday in Brisbane sorry for being really fucking awkward it was just super unexpected. I was gonna go to your show that night but I had a gig the same night unfortunately and Friday had a birthday dinner to go to. Hope you had a killer fucking show though you’ll definitely catch me at the next bris show.
Hey, I know the point of this channel is that it's less edited and more a raw stream of thought, but could you maybe pop up a source bubble on screen every time you quote a statistic like "a study said that 96% of millionares are virgins" or something?
*adds to watch later*
This joke has been made tens of thousands of times before you. Please stop.
TimJ no

Stop procrastinating and clean your lens

First I read the Tony robbins and then the Tony robbins goblin explains the concept in more detail what a great system.

The irony is that I am procrastinating right now by watching your video. I'm a bad student.
Thanks Jordan! Your vids are helping me through uni and life in general. Just wish I had more self discipline to practice your life tips.
Thanks m8. Trying to get my shit together for the last couple of months and your videos has helped me a whole lot.
I'm expecting this video to be the last of my procrastination forever

Thanks Gordo this is practical advice.

Efficiency is cleaver laziness
