hi guys welcome back to my channel so
today's video is how to stop
procrastinating and start getting things
done the subject was requested by you
guys on my Paul's by the way I'm putting
all my video ideas on the community page
please vote so I'll know what to give to
you I want to give you what you want so
let me know what you want
that was Long Island accent can't even
really good at accent so we're gonna get
into the 7th tips that helped me to stop
procrastinating tip number one is
identifying what is the cause of your
procrastination for a lot of people it's
really not about laziness it could be
fear of messing up not understand how to
start or even waiting for the perfect
moment until we feel perfectly ready
which by the way never happens in any
case ever looking into what is that why
why are you procrastinating what's
stopping you and trying to solve that
issue will help you so if it's asking
for help if it's getting more guidance
about the tasks that you are facing
where I keep telling yourself to not aim
for perfection but aim for getting it
done it's much easier to edit and
improve your work once it's finished tip
number two is clear distractions we live
in such a busy world today and there's
literally distractions everywhere
there's YouTube hi guys there's
instagrams really make sure that those
things are not the one that keeps you
procrastinating for longer than you
should there's actually an app that can
block those apps for however long you
decide to block them before you get into
the task of the day if you go on the app
and you make sure that those apps are
not accessible to you for 12 hours 8
hours 6 hours however long you need this
will really help you to focus and not to
reach out for those little distractions
that keeps tasks feeling longer and
longer and longer I personally have a
little hack that I started using and
it's called the Pomodoro method
Pomodoro's that you know the kitchen
timer that we taught when we like cook
something but really any kitchen timer
will work when people know the time is
tangible that your task is not gonna
forever they're actually more focused on
the task is basically showing you that
there's a light at the end of the tunnel
you work and focus on a task for 25
minutes and then you give yourself a
5-minute break and then you do the same
for time so it really gives you kind of
a two hour of uninterrupted focused work
and you get those little breaks in
between after the four times you give
yourself a long nice break about 20
minutes and that break you can go for a
walk you can go for lunch you can do
whatever you need to do to kind of let
your mind rest and get recharged you can
also do it with this cubic timer that is
also popular and available in Amazon I'm
gonna link in the description box you
can use the timer on your phone but I
don't recommend it because then you get
distracted and then it's like this whole
thing just slides out the window tip
number three is breaking your task into
parts breaking your task into parts well
first of all make the whole task feel
and look simpler small little parts that
you need to accomplish will make more
sense of you rather than to look at it
as a whole big project another thing
that you can do is rewarding yourself
after accomplishing every little task
this video has been on my plate for the
past week and I've been kind of avoiding
doing it and then I decided you know
what after I finish this video I'm gonna
get myself a McFlurry so worth it
tip number four start by focusing on the
task that you likes best there's a lot
of people that actually suggest the
opposite but it doesn't make sense to me
I feel like when you're focusing on the
things that you like to do it actually
releases dopamine in your brain and it
gives you this you know spark of
inspiration spark of motivation which
will kind of keep you going and doing
the rest of the test that maybe are not
your favorite really starting with
something that you love and inspiring
yourself will get you going
tip number five is to stop punishing
yourself / labeling yourself we just
assume this is kind of a weakness we
call ourselves lazy we call ourselves
not motivated enough and number one
thing that I wanna remind you always is
the things that you tell yourself will
start trickling down and it's gonna
start becoming your
so be very careful the way you talk to
yourself do you hear me
be nice remember there's nothing wrong
with procrastinating just recognize it
as your default behavior and what you
can do is really carve out time to
procrastinate time to get inspired to
get information to stop people on social
media and you can still find time to do
your task and you work on your project
tip number six is very simple very basic
yet a lot of people don't practice it
enough stop multitasking we can't do
everything at the same time and that's a
big problem that a lot of people do
there's this overwhelming list of things
to do and we just try to tackle all of
them at once doing 16 things at the same
time can overwhelm you and stress you
out and can lead to burnout a little
hack that I started doing to tackle my
never-ending to-do list is to make sure
that I put the three things that are a
priority to get done not only does it
keeps my mind and my stress levels in
control it also makes sure that I don't
overwhelm myself and I give myself
enough time to actually do those tasks
and do them right and then tip number
seven last but not least is don't do it
alone
use the friend system hopefully you have
great friends that will motivate you and
will keep you accountable this method
works amazing for things like doing
projects or going to the gym going to
workout when you schedule it with a
friend or another person they keep you
accountable so you actually show up and
do what you need to do that's why I have
my girls at valaria Inc that helped me
feel accountable like making this video
look jazz I did it this is it you guys I
hope you enjoyed these seven tips let me
know if you have any tips that help you
to stop procrastinating if you have any
friends or family that need this video
send it to them it will help thank you
so much for watching and I'll see you
guys next time
to find a buddy that I can a buddy use
the body buddy buddy use the friend
system I hate long lists that make me
want to crawl back into bed and to watch
the mini project that I absolutely don't
get whatsoever but I keep getting back
to it because it's better than to tackle
my long to-do list get the wheels moving
on that brain you can have the cake and
eat it too I hope that's the way you say
it
