Anytime I want to procrastinate, I watch UA-cam. Sometimes it gives me a better attitude and motivates me, and other times it just makes time go by faster. It's a tool. But like other tools, it not the tool itself, it's how you use it.
Thanks for watching.. please leave a comment and reply to other peoples comments; let's build a community of learners that way. This is all based on my book #UnLearn get a copy at unlearn101.com
Sushmita Udoshi If you are an ardent Superwoman fan then just imagine he has replied to you with the same hands as he has probably hugged Lilly. LOL. Jk.
HUMBLE I SWEAR TO GOD you can read my mind..like there has been so much things on my mind lately and everytime i log in to UA-cam, you're in my subscriptions with the perfect video for me to take advice from. THANK YOU and keep it up :)
"I need to get better before I get started" - that is EXACTLY where i am right now. where i've been for months, maybe even years now. i'm a writer as well, and i know my ideas are good, and i believe that i am skilled enough to write at least that crappy first draft, until i can re-work it into something better. maybe one day it will be good enough for publishing. but that can never happen if i don't get my arse up and write, even though the plot isn't polished enough yet, even though not every person has the perfect fitting name yet - that'll come. so - thank you for your advice. thank you. ps. i have the biggest crush on your beard. and maybe also you in general haha. *creepy smile
I love all your videos! Procrastinations is the killer of dreams and its something I need to work on! Thanks for giving us such motivational videos! =)
1. I have finals coming up and this helped a lot! 2. I think it's so cool that your a UA-camr and a rapper. Speaking from my desi background it seems as if all people care about nowadays is money and being a doctor,engineer,etc for social stratification purposes. No one works for happiness anymore...but finding people like you make my day #representdesibrother You make the world a better place! I hope when I'm older I can make a difference like you're doing! 3. I love that as I scroll down I see you reply to everyone's comments....really shows how much u care bro Thanks for everything :)
Someone may have possibly said this already, or you may already have heard it But it came up in one of my early morning classes, our professor mentioned it while addressing self motivation. He used the analogy of the elephant and the mahout, where the elephant is the 'emotional' self and the mahout is the 'practical' self. The elephant is a large animal so it can be difficult to control, however if the rider manages the elephant properly they will collectively benefit. I really enjoyed this analogy and it does help me when it comes to motivation to think of it, So I thought I would share in case it hasn't been heard yet!
I was never academically proficient, and i had a hard time paying attention in high school, but now that I'm done high school I want to be a psychiatrist sooo bad. But the thought of taking chemistry and actually getting a doctorate in university is really intimidating. It's like looking towards the top of the mountain but not being able to see the top and with no clear path there.
This is beyond true, long term goals are far more important than short term rewards. Wasting time is not beneficial to anyone's future and only leads to stress later. I'll try to remember this next time I start to procrastinate while working. Amazing message, Humble!
Gosh! Finally!. I have been requesting this video ever since you started this. This is certainly one of my favourites after Reputations are Prisoners. You are so thoughtful, humble. I am going to watch and rewatch this every single morning. This video has literally pumped me to do things. I have an exam on Tuesday, but I'm going to starting working on it right now. Psychology, here I come. Thanks ever so much =)
Ok, (this might be a long comment so beware). First, thanks for doing the video HumbleThe Poet, I egotistically believe this video was made for me since it's been my main problem this month and it's been getting me down. Now, what really gets me is when one is on top of everything, they finally got a routine, they finally got things down, feeling productive and amazing. Then comes the day, the week, the month that they decide to "wind down" but then when they actually try to get back on track, it's really hard to get back to that frame of mind and it is frustrating. Now, there are those people who are amazing in cramming their hours/ grinding and get things done amazingly with complete coolness. I'm always fascinated by IISuperwomanII in her vlogs where she goes on for so many hours in front of her computer getting things done with such an amazing spirit. If you are like me, however, you are not so good with that. I get serious panic attacks when I know I have a set amount of time to accomplish something, so I know that I should give myself a good amount of time so I can actually function. I actually think sometimes times that i shouldn't take a break so I don't lose that state of focus, no clue how to do that...I don't know, lol! Sorry for the rant. Love your videos and I hope you reach the number of subscribers you wish and keep doing videos. Salam!
Legit was procrastinating soo hard instead of studying for my french exam...watched this...stood up...n now gonna start getting this shiz done thanks humble the poet for the push!
Hahahaha this is perfect. Earlier today I was updating my CV and cover letter to apply for a job I really want to get. Is it finished? Did I send it off yet? No and No! I'm not confident in writing it because I'm scared I'll fail. Of course, I'll definitely fail if it never gets sent! I laughed out loud at 0:53 because that was so me!! I'm getting back at it right now!
The best motivator is a harsh truth. You must do it now or never. Missing opportunities is the worst thing I'm thinking about writing a book. Something like yours, Humble. Thank you :)
Definitely agree on the short-term vs. long-term conflict as a main cause for procrastination, especially during smaller, specific goals. When it comes to bigger decisions, I think we should also consider that procrastination can be the result of doing sth we may not really want deep down, sth that doesn't suit our strengths (e.g. pursuing a college degree/job that we didn't choose ourselves or didn't reflect on first) or the result of defense mechanisms, like the cliché of the talented person who ends up an underachiever due to unhealthy perfectionism and other fears. In that case, procrastination can represent an inner block that we have to resolve.
I'm struggling with procrastination right now actually. It's the second day of my spring semester and I already have 3 papers due this week. Instantly came to your video to motivate myself, and I'm starting my homework as soon as this video ends. Thank you, Humble!
Just telling myself that I can take a break soon helps me get started on my work: If I tell myself that I can take a break after reading for 10 minutes, then I'm usually far enough into the material by then that I'm able to just keep going.
Thank you Humble for this video. I was actually procrastinating by watching this video, but now due to your video I am going to do my work. Love your encouraging videos!!! :)
"...wikipedia old actors, trying to figure out where they are now..." yes, Humble! i thought it was just me! great advice!! i have to pass this on to my teenagers--- scholars of procrastination!
As a procrastinator this is for me. Thank you for making it, I'm gonna get to work right now. Your advice is very helpful and you seem to make videos right when I need them. Again thank you!
Amazing video sir! You've told us something at we can ACTUALLY practice in our daily lives, that is, we have to look out for our long term achievements, and not short term 'feel good' things.
Humble you are just amazing!!!! I have bought your book and have shared with everyone how much I love it and how it impacted my life. Thank you! HumbleThe Poet
This is similar to the definition of austerity, which is dealing with an inconvenience in the present (not being on Facebook for 5min) for a higher better purpose in the future
Love your work, Humble. I found you through Lilly, so I'm more thankful to her for making you a part of her videos frequently. You seem to have a beautiful heart and mind. I wish there'd be more guys like you out there. Keep it up and keep inspiring! :) Verda.
I haven't watched your videos for that long and when I watch them I feel like they are so motivational and actually I was doing homework right now and I was about to say that I would do it later but after watching this I am going to get it all done today.😄😄 Love your videos! And now I look forward to seeing them every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday🙌🙌
Thanks for Making this video. I love how You make short videos so You always get straight to the point and it's easy to process and think about changing bad habits from watching your videos. Keep it up Humble, You're great!
I google old actors to find out their status too when avoiding tasks haha. Your advice really spoke to me. Thank you once again for your empowering words! *stands up*
You always inspire me and I really agree with every single word you just said ..you're helping to creat a really amazing nation that full of talented people ..thank you humble.
I've always thought that being aware of your own downfalls would be beneficial to solving your problems and in some ways this is the truth but at the same time when you are generally aware of what you have to do and you don't do anything about it nothing ever happens. It would almost be beneficial to not realized because then when someone would tell you it might shock you into action. That being said having someone else tell you things you already know kind of makes them feel more real. It's strange that it seems easier to become motivated from other people's words than your own and I think that is a confidence issue. In any case I'm really enjoying your content (I'm a pretty recent sub). Thank-you for having this conversation with me in video form while I talk back inside my own head. :)
Humble, you are a true inspiration! I love this video, because it actually speaks to me! The whole day today, i've been pushing the work i have to do further away, but now i actually am going to get started and i'm going to do this! Love you 😘
I have exams starting this week. Right now it feels good to watch your videos. Studying feels bad. BUT, your videos will also help me in the long run. So...😏
Thanks for the inspiration Humble, as I work on my first 1000 word essay lol! Wish me luck peeps! Rewriting is the essence of writing well - where the game is won or lost. -William Zinsser (just an addition to this inspirational talk)
This is my fav video by far! Something I needed to hear the most! You know what HumbleP Singh ur like this person who tells me what exactly I should be hearing whenever I'm low or sad or lack motivation. Its amazing how universe connects ppl. Ur amazing! Lots of love :)
Definitely needed this!! I gotta learn how to deliver a baby before I start my obstetrics attachment tomorrow and I'm stuck on UA-cam.. Time to stand up.. Bubyeeee :)
I love your videos! You are doing a great Job! Some people do need All these msg! And that's exactly what you are doing in ur videos! Can't thank you enough. KEEP IT UP!

Good stuff!! :) thank you for sharing your thoughts and pushing me to get my work done,you are right...the most difficult thing to do is to "start"! have a nice day! :)
When I don't feel like doing a project/hw, I do the same thing and look up random people from history on wikipedia and learn about them. I literally did that the other day by asking people, "Name one random yet interesting person from history."
Thanku so much humble...thanx from bottom of my heart..u r doin a gr8 job..I like watching ur videos..u make me so positive towards my life....thanku so much....
Thank you so much Humble this video just came in the right time when I need it the most HumbleP Singh I realised i need to remind my self what I am doing it for, which is for my future. Thank you! :D
I just barely started watching your videos and I absolutely love them! I think that you should get with Rhett and link for an earbiscut! I think that that would be amazing(:
