1. Atomic Habits by James Clear 2. Procrastination Elimination Method by John Isaac These 2 books can help ANYONE completely solve their procrastination issues.
I’m doing while procrastinating on a video I have to get done by Late September (at the VERY latest) while I’ve only done 3 scenes. Not to mention, I still have to get half of my animators started!
“Don’t beat yourself up when you fail. It’s still going to happen and that’s okay.” Hearing this in his voice made me feel all sorts of sad because it feels so genuine. I don’t know why but it just hit really deep when I heard it. I think I needed to hear it more than I realized, especially now. Thank you, TimTom
Do you want to date me? Then I have to shatter your dreams: I am in a relationship with two hot women! They are also loyal subscribers of me, YT Megastar AxxL! Please don't cry, dear mav
I was failing my history class and barely passing my other classes and had a crap ton of missing assignments and instead of finishing those assignments, I was watching this and a few other videos and never got anything done
I don't care what the comments say. This has helped me A LOT. I would literally procrasinate EVERYTHING I did and now have been enlightened. I watched this video a few weeks ago and started to follow your steps. My grades have gone up A LOT. So THANK YOU TimTom!! I hope you understand you're really helping people with these videos!!
I'm such a procrastinator, I procrastinated solving the final level in Budget Cuts 2 due to it partially being a time-based challenge. Seriously, it took me a month to even open that level again. Essentially, I procrastinate while procrastinating.
@Franklin Joseph The I was talking about the character Ryan bc one of his key phrases is “get a load of this” while he holds a standee of himself or tries to show off to Barbie lmao
To sum up the video: 1. Take control of your emotions. You have to notice when you start distracting yourself. 2. Stop the distraction. 3. Try and start the task, and if that daunts you, just set up for the task. 4. Make a clear path to follow for the task at hand. 5. Only focus on the current step of the task. 6. Start the task.
+all these tiny steps added on to how to do all those steps, especially how you just stop the distraction. This will end up being at least 30 steps long.
@Kdore_art no, believe it or not it's true. The Tezuka Manga Contest entry period ends tomorrow and I've left almost all the pages to draw these last four days. I don't blame you for being skeptical though!
wait a minute, how does this same guy keep getting on the top of every video i see? do u have thumbs up bots mr. KORPRAL K. REEP if thats ur real name...
Thank you for making this. I currently have the exact problem you described, and it is causing me to really struggle in school, especially with the teachers not being given adequate time to teach. I've started watching this video whenever I hit the point of realizing I should do the work, and it has helped motivate me to go work on what I'm supposed to each time.

In case of “IDK what to do” then just ask someone, like a friend in the same class or a classmate.

Hey, I understand this video was posted 3 years ago but I have to say, it's one of my favorite videos on the platform. It's so good at stopping me from procrastinating because of how straightforward and to the point it is. Sometimes when I know I'm procrastinating I will search up this video to snap myself out of it. And today you managed to get me to stop procrastinating about a physical education lesson, an outline of an argumentative essay, and the start of looking for colleges and careers I'm interested in. For what its worth, the advice about managing your emotions is pure wisdom. It's always that feeling that there's a mountain of choices and forgetting to take it one step at a time that cause it to be so prevalent in society. Thanks for this video from the bottom of my heart.
Legitimately thank you so much for this This called me out in so many ways especially because I had only picked up my phone and checked UA-cam because I had gotten to a point in my summer work where I wasn’t 100% sure of what to do and didn’t wanna screw it up. This genuinely helped me to stop stalling and just figure out the right information to include so that I could actually get some of my work done today
every time I realize I'm procrastinating, I alway watch this video to remind me I'm not the only one feels this way, and you helped me with my problem with just uploading a video, and so I thank you for that for this great advise. thank you timtom!
I think this video is very beneficial. I first watched it around the time it was released and I was in a pretty bad place. I don't think it helped me instantly, of course it didn't. But, eventually things started to change and I got better. I started to procrastinate again recently and I got back to this video. I hope everything gets better. Thank you, Tom!
Here's a good strategy to get more work done: Look in the comments of this video and every comment you find = 1 more extra minute of work. Oh sorry, this was actually a tip on how to die of sleep deprivation.
I procrastinated school work for three weeks, and was having constant panic attacks, so much so that I became unable to even do the work, because I literally could barely move.
Kiki's Delivery Service is, like, one of my top favorite Studio Ghibli movies! It was the first one I ever saw and I love it SO MUCH!!! Honestly, when you brought it up, I thought you were going to say something related to the movie. How Kiki hears the person on the radio say, "It's going be a full moon with clear skies, so if you're planning on something special maybe tonight can be that night." After she hears that, she gets up, goes home, and announces to her whole family that instead of waiting a month to leave home like she planned, she wanted to stop procrastinating and leave that night, the perfect midnight. I honestly thought you were going to make that reference. Overall, wonderful video as always. I enjoy watching your videos and can't wait to see what you upload next!
Same. I have to do my rough draft that I've procrastinated doing all weekend and am currently procrastinating by watching this video as well and it's due tomorrow 😅
"Stop distracting yourself" Me, with 9 hours worth of homework watching this video with 30 minutes to go having not even removed the books out of my bag...
Yesterday during school and my teacher went on UA-cam and searched up “procrastination” and clicked on this and the whole class was like: *ITS TIMTOM OMG*
I totally get this, also another problem I myself and other people may struggle with is aiming too much for perfection and I can't stop. I asked my mom how I could stop doing that and she was no help at all. When search up advice online they are just saying just solve it, like they repeat the question, no useful ways or answers. I was never noticed really when I used to do good and school, no overdue projects, and amazing grades with occasional C's and F's. Now when I do all the opposite of that and get stressed now I'm noticed, for a bad habit. The comments are some of the things I do to procrastinate, It's like I will find everything in my power just to not do something productive. My parents are getting mad at me because of that, literally they only notice the flaws and not the good things and it makes me feel like they deserve a better child. The managing emotions is literally the second main problem for me.Thanks for this video, you' re a big help :D
Wow... I feel like a changed man... -later that evening OK just ONE more video then I will do my essay due tomorrow! -26 videos later OK just ONE more video then I will do my essay due tomorrow! -3am in the morning and realizing its due tomorrow (๏_๏)
Procrastination. Me: That a relatable topic because I’m procrastinating as well! Idk why I do it though, I just want to do things in between things, I think that stuff I play on my I-pad, computer, lore about that specific video game, etc. is the main objectives, along with the other stuff I do on a daily basis like: brushing my teeth, eating meals, cleaning my cats litter box and petting her and her brother, and etc. everything else that’s progressive, is just a side objective in my mind, an obstacle if even that’s in the way of me becoming a successful person at everything I like playing. Though, this has made me procrastinate I stuff I need to do, like finishing the manual of how to use a graphing calculator, or even writing a report about what work I want to do in the future. And now it’s almost Monday, and I realized what I have done, I haven’t done what I needed to do for 3 whole days, and it’s almost Monday, what happened to me... Why do I do this, WHYYY!!?? Sad to say but, I think I need to be harder on myself, make things more of a reasonable routine, and if I don’t do what I should do, I’ll flick that rubber band to say “NO! DON’T DO THAT, DO THIS! You can take bathroom breaks, and other 20 minute breaks, but NO PLAYING ON THE COMPUTER OR I-PAD UNTIL THE WORK IS DONE, OR ELSE, it won’t be done. And you’ll feel sorry you’ve done that, so DO THIS, JUST RIP OFF THE BAND AID AND IT WILL BE OTHER! BE A MAN NOT A WIMP!” Wow, I just realized that, I’m mean to myself, huh, I didn’t know that til now. Wow. Now I feel bad. I’ve also tried to be more vidulant when it comes to my routine, but that did help. And it took SO LONG, to make that one, that I just kept the original, I could try to make another, and maybe even make the original better, but I don’t want to do it now, What’s wrong with me!?!!! Edit: Ok I might’ve over exaggerated about me not liking myself. I still have those thoughts, but they just mostly about, me needing to be faster, and other stuff. Because that’s another reason why I procrastinated, I’m pretty slow at doing simple things, and when I don’t meet me deadline, I won’t get it done on time. But watching this video gave me CONFIDENCE, that I could do the hard thing I though would take me a long time to do. Even if I watched this video when it was near my deadline for the important stuff I had to do, I still had to do them anyways because if I don’t do it know it would add up with other things I would have to do. And your strategy actually worked TimTom! I though about the steps to reaching my goal only thought about the first thing to do, then I did it. I still have to complete the work about where I want to work when I’m out of high school and college (transition work), but I hope your strategy works because it worked last night, let’s hope it still works today.
I think that procrastination actually creates such a vicious cycle that by the time you get the thing done, you're still anxious about how you're procrastinating and just everything about the thing you need to do because if you've been super worried, stressed, and anxious about something, then by the time you're done, your brain just kinda automatically continues being anxious, even if you've done the thing you had to do. So don't procrastinate because if you do, then it even makes getting done with the thing suck.
Or maybe commenting first doesn’t matter and no one really cares. But still we do it even tho some ppl (me) thought it would stop long ago such as the wiggle wiggle, how many likes is how old xyz person is, or those awful roses are red violets are blue comments. But still, little 8 year olds comment “first” when in the grand scheme of things they aren’t first and even if they were it doesn’t matter bc their comment is a tiny little spec of dust in a huge jungle that even Horton can’t hear because it is dumb and easily forgotten among the thousands of self proclaimed “first” comments. But go ahead, comment “first”. But be aware, the attention it MIGHT give you fades away and is not real and no one cares. Sorry about the rant, Lol just stating my brutally honest opinion.
When i find myself delaying schoolwork, i often turn on this video and after it's done, i get started. Thanks tim, you made school a heck of a lot easier
Even though people are commenting on how their procrastinating right now I just wanted to let you know that this video helped me a ton. Thanks to you and your advice, I was able to stop distracting myself with everything and managed to pass my class with an A! Thank you so much!
You I just can’t believe how relatable this video actually is... I’m actually procrastinating on my homework right now!! ... oh would you just look at the time... OH NO.....
I am procrastinating by watching a video on procrastination but seriously though this helped me out a lot and I have stopped procrastinating by like 95%.
When I have projects, I do a draft on a piece if paper, edit, revise, ext. then I do it on the big paper.I do each one DIFFERENT DAYS so I have like a job each day.

@@andrewbroome1469 I’m up at 2 am working on my hardcore Minecraft world... this is a problem

@@oreooreo6573 TELL US 🤣
The fact that the video ended so abruptly put me in that weird choose state
✨ amazing ✨
Legitimately thank you so much for this
This called me out in so many ways especially because I had only picked up my phone and checked UA-cam because I had gotten to a point in my summer work where I wasn’t 100% sure of what to do and didn’t wanna screw it up. This genuinely helped me to stop stalling and just figure out the right information to include so that I could actually get some of my work done today
TimTom: Procrastination is about controlling your emotions
Me who has no emotions: *Visible confusion*

TimTom: clear your mind-
Me: Ha! good one!
I think this video is very beneficial. I first watched it around the time it was released and I was in a pretty bad place. I don't think it helped me instantly, of course it didn't. But, eventually things started to change and I got better. I started to procrastinate again recently and I got back to this video. I hope everything gets better. Thank you, Tom!
Tim: "Procrastination is just you distracting yourself"
Me about to watch 1 hour of distraction dance to forget about the homework I have: "Huh?"
hahah
Here's a good strategy to get more work done:
Look in the comments of this video and every comment you find = 1 more extra minute of work.
Oh sorry, this was actually a tip on how to die of sleep deprivation.

Slep deprivation is, like, the slowest way to die

I like how ended the video by saying “pick up the pen” so we can get to work
This video actually helped me stop procrastinating, and im free of the anxiety of the work I had to do thanks TimTom!
When you’re literally the only person who can’t procrastinate because it gives me anxiety-
Oh, procrastination gives everyone anxiety, believe me...
I get extremely bad anxiety and keep procrastinating
I procrastinated school work for three weeks, and was having constant panic attacks, so much so that I became unable to even do the work, because I literally could barely move.
It gives me anxiety so i just procrastinate while panicking
@@z0bi_ nope
Me: has a project due tomorrow.
Also me: let's watch this video from TimTom.
TimTom: posts video about procrastination.
Kiki's Delivery Service is, like, one of my top favorite Studio Ghibli movies! It was the first one I ever saw and I love it SO MUCH!!! Honestly, when you brought it up, I thought you were going to say something related to the movie. How Kiki hears the person on the radio say, "It's going be a full moon with clear skies, so if you're planning on something special maybe tonight can be that night." After she hears that, she gets up, goes home, and announces to her whole family that instead of waiting a month to leave home like she planned, she wanted to stop procrastinating and leave that night, the perfect midnight. I honestly thought you were going to make that reference.
Overall, wonderful video as always. I enjoy watching your videos and can't wait to see what you upload next!
Hearing you talk about this is like having my older self talk about me, I've dealt with the exact same issues.
I have a google slides pulled up on my computer for my science project and I’m procrastinating rn
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE
You were supposed to stop procrastinating not do it!
Same. I have to do my rough draft that I've procrastinated doing all weekend and am currently procrastinating by watching this video as well and it's due tomorrow 😅
I FINISHED THE SLIDES AYOOOO...I have an essay* now as a reflection😔
Dedication my dude
“Carefully, he’s a hero”.
Me: *Watching this to procrastinate work*
Tim Tom: "Do the thing! Don't say one more video, do the thing!"
Me: *Watches another video*
"Stop distracting yourself"
Me, with 9 hours worth of homework watching this video with 30 minutes to go having not even removed the books out of my bag...
I'm pretty sure 99% of the people watching this are procrastinating right now.
Funny you say that, I’m procrastinating right now
*99.9%
I’m procrastinating getting out of bed
@fang cat zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yep
me: **sees title**
also me: WOAH how does a famous youtuber know about ME?!?
Yesterday during school and my teacher went on UA-cam and searched up “procrastination” and clicked on this and the whole class was like:
*ITS TIMTOM OMG*
Why can't my teachers be cool?
@@theuwchannel5761 I ask myself that everyday-
No I don't
woooooow
I totally get this, also another problem I myself and other people may struggle with is aiming too much for perfection and I can't stop. I asked my mom how I could stop doing that and she was no help at all. When search up advice online they are just saying just solve it, like they repeat the question, no useful ways or answers. I was never noticed really when I used to do good and school, no overdue projects, and amazing grades with occasional C's and F's. Now when I do all the opposite of that and get stressed now I'm noticed, for a bad habit. The comments are some of the things I do to procrastinate, It's like I will find everything in my power just to not do something productive. My parents are getting mad at me because of that, literally they only notice the flaws and not the good things and it makes me feel like they deserve a better child. The managing emotions is literally the second main problem for me.Thanks for this video, you' re a big help :D
Wow... I feel like a changed man...
-later that evening
OK just ONE more video then I will do my essay due tomorrow!
-26 videos later
OK just ONE more video then I will do my essay due tomorrow!

(๏_๏)
Lol its true tho
u mean due in a few hours
If it's 3am...wouldn't the assignment be due THAT day
Timtom: going to couch
Ice cream: just chilling there
Next scene: “YOUR FIRED ICE-CREAM.”
Procrastination. Me: That a relatable topic because I’m procrastinating as well! Idk why I do it though, I just want to do things in between things, I think that stuff I play on my I-pad, computer, lore about that specific video game, etc. is the main objectives, along with the other stuff I do on a daily basis like: brushing my teeth, eating meals, cleaning my cats litter box and petting her and her brother, and etc. everything else that’s progressive, is just a side objective in my mind, an obstacle if even that’s in the way of me becoming a successful person at everything I like playing. Though, this has made me procrastinate I stuff I need to do, like finishing the manual of how to use a graphing calculator, or even writing a report about what work I want to do in the future. And now it’s almost Monday, and I realized what I have done, I haven’t done what I needed to do for 3 whole days, and it’s almost Monday, what happened to me... Why do I do this, WHYYY!!?? Sad to say but, I think I need to be harder on myself, make things more of a reasonable routine, and if I don’t do what I should do, I’ll flick that rubber band to say “NO! DON’T DO THAT, DO THIS! You can take bathroom breaks, and other 20 minute breaks, but NO PLAYING ON THE COMPUTER OR I-PAD UNTIL THE WORK IS DONE, OR ELSE, it won’t be done. And you’ll feel sorry you’ve done that, so DO THIS, JUST RIP OFF THE BAND AID AND IT WILL BE OTHER! BE A MAN NOT A WIMP!” Wow, I just realized that, I’m mean to myself, huh, I didn’t know that til now. Wow. Now I feel bad. I’ve also tried to be more vidulant when it comes to my routine, but that did help. And it took SO LONG, to make that one, that I just kept the original, I could try to make another, and maybe even make the original better, but I don’t want to do it now, What’s wrong with me!?!!! Edit: Ok I might’ve over exaggerated about me not liking myself. I still have those thoughts, but they just mostly about, me needing to be faster, and other stuff. Because that’s another reason why I procrastinated, I’m pretty slow at doing simple things, and when I don’t meet me deadline, I won’t get it done on time. But watching this video gave me CONFIDENCE, that I could do the hard thing I though would take me a long time to do. Even if I watched this video when it was near my deadline for the important stuff I had to do, I still had to do them anyways because if I don’t do it know it would add up with other things I would have to do. And your strategy actually worked TimTom! I though about the steps to reaching my goal only thought about the first thing to do, then I did it. I still have to complete the work about where I want to work when I’m out of high school and college (transition work), but I hope your strategy works because it worked last night, let’s hope it still works today.
Yo that was a lot.. and sadly I only got like one part of it 😂 But I did enjoy reading it so thank you haha
Critical YT thanks.
I think that procrastination actually creates such a vicious cycle that by the time you get the thing done, you're still anxious about how you're procrastinating and just everything about the thing you need to do because if you've been super worried, stressed, and anxious about something, then by the time you're done, your brain just kinda automatically continues being anxious, even if you've done the thing you had to do. So don't procrastinate because if you do, then it even makes getting done with the thing suck.
Instructions unclear: pulled out a pencil to do my online coding assignment
Pseudocode bruh
Lmao
Anyone else watching this in the middle of the night and being slightly disturbed by the intro?
no
Yes
That moment when you realize the person that was most likely first didn’t comment so no one in the comments is really first.
First actually means “I’m the first to comment” but sure
OMG SO TRUE!!
Or maybe commenting first doesn’t matter and no one really cares. But still we do it even tho some ppl (me) thought it would stop long ago such as the wiggle wiggle, how many likes is how old xyz person is, or those awful roses are red violets are blue comments. But still, little 8 year olds comment “first” when in the grand scheme of things they aren’t first and even if they were it doesn’t matter bc their comment is a tiny little spec of dust in a huge jungle that even Horton can’t hear because it is dumb and easily forgotten among the thousands of self proclaimed “first” comments. But go ahead, comment “first”. But be aware, the attention it MIGHT give you fades away and is not real and no one cares.
Sorry about the rant, Lol just stating my brutally honest opinion.
@@abbiesmith8724 lol
When i find myself delaying schoolwork, i often turn on this video and after it's done, i get started. Thanks tim, you made school a heck of a lot easier
Drinking Challenge: Take a shot every time someone in the comment says they were procrastinating while watching this.
I’m gonna put that off till I’m of drinking age thank you very much
Looks like everyone who participated got drunk
Anyone who tried this successfully is dead
Ehh, I think I’ll just wait until I’m 21, I have other things to do right now
That's called alcohol poisoning.
Lets be honest the first thing that came to your mind when you read the title was your homework😂
When you get older that's called bills.
@@notinorder9630 Congratulations! Your HOMEWORK evolved into BILLS!
