I don't usually comment, but I wanted to say thank you so much for this guide. I am an avid perfectionist and productive procrastinator, I have crippling anxiety and self-doubt about everything, which I am trying my hardest to work on. Growing up I always avoided math and studying because it was so daunting to me. I have very good grades but I often feel lost, I almost entirely avoid socializing in my teens because I feel so awkward and scared people would try and distance themselves from me, I want to avoid heart ache (Especially having pure O OCD), so I stay away anything that triggers that feeling of dread. Lately I've been trying new things, and as expected, I panic at times, go home exhausted, and feel like I want to curl up into a ball and cry. But I'm trying my best. I know I'm smart and I know I can do whatever I put my mind to, even if it will take a while (Because the time will pass anyway.) I also know this video won't magically make me a scholar in math or test taking and I won't suddenly have a Pinterest board group of friends, but it made me feel like I CAN do hard things, doing very small tasks towards my goals does help me a lot. My goal is to study for 5-10 minutes a day and make a new friend over the next few months. Thank you again for this guide! I hope at least one person see's this comment and relates in some way. You aren't alone!
Been avoiding a couple tasks now because they are unpleasant (for real), but you reminded me to break them down into smaller more manageable tasks and just get going. Thanks!
Thank youNeurodex, this procrastination guide helped me get two of my projects completed this month! Just start! ❤
The fact that’s it’s so biological is both demoralizing and reassuring at the same time, I guess the best thing I can do to fight procrastination is to trick my brain back when it tries to trick me😂
Productive procrastination is very sneaky. I end up reading thousands of book reviews, sometimes repetitively instead of reading the actual book all to get that "motivation" to actually read the book.
