How do you actually put an end to the practice of perpetual self-sabotage known as procrastination? Well you could try all the planning strategies, productivity apps and color-coded schedules in the world. But, they won’t work until you address the emotional triggers at the heart of procrastination.
When you break it down there are really just five procrastination triggers that get in our way most often. And once you start to identify these triggers at their core you can finally stop putting things off.

pls don't laugh, it's so sad. People making a joke out of procrastination only promotes and encourages it, and reducing the conviction to not do it :(
1 - Fear 01:14 - (Fear of tasks, failure, being judge, not living up to our expectations, not living up to others expectations, messing up, discomfort, not knowing what to do next) Solution: Try to do a procrastination log (what's actually happening right now? What emotions are you experiencing? What are you afraid will happen if you fail? 2 - 02:30 - Perfectionism (Adaptive or a maladaptive) Solution: Set a realistic deadline and commit yourself to make your project as good as possible up until that day. Alternative solution: Let the first version SUCK 3 - 05:05 - Self-sabotage (I knew that I was a total failure) Solution: Understand you do have value to bring to the world Think about the success you already have, no matter how small it is, and how far you come since it got started Stop to think about yourself damn much, focus on your work and the people 4 - 06:17- Overwhelm (Have a lot of stuff to do... And do nothing) Solution: You need a plan with a reasonable timeline Breaking down the large goals and doing the small tasks and spreading them out over the period of time (Consistency is the key to making progress into your goals!) 5 - 08:28- Exhaustion Check into your phisical state

What helped me reduce my procrastination was understanding that motivation often comes after we get started with an activity, and not before. Example: It’s hard to start reading a book, but once you finish the first page the motivation often kicks in.

Yes, I noticed that too, the cinematography in this video is rather excellent.
Dude this thumbnail was so accurate
I have sometimes the problem that I know, why I procrastinate or why I did that thing wrong, but I still do it, probably because it is easier than to really go get things done and do the thing you wanted. When I wasted enough of my time I sometimes can catch myself and just do it. Thank you Matt for your videos, they are of an awesome quality, I really appreciate it that you are willing to put the effort in that and not slack of even if you have a solid fan base.
It's a good reminder that self compassion is what we really need the most to break out of a bad habit sometimes. Don't fight the love, go with the flow i guess?
I was literally procrastinating the last couple of weeks about making a dr and dentist appointment, this week I did both! Then as soon as I got off the phone with the dr office, this video was posted. I found it funny. I have this mantra of getting it to 80, once a project is 80 percent done, I know from that point It will need to be worked on less and less. I’ll still work on it to make it better but if the due date comes for that project I know I’ll be okay to let it go at whatever level it’s at. Thanks for a great video Matt!
You are right. Using colorful notes or pretty environment doesn't matter sometimes, you need to know why and what kind of emotional state you are in when procrastinating.
desencadenantes: - Fear (1:16) write down patterns (2:12) - Perfectionism (2:33) adaptive (3:13): w/out self-criticism/maladaptive: need to be in control (3:26) : deadlines+vomit pass - Self-sabotage (5:07) you have value and can do success+stop thinking about yourself - Overwhelm (6:18): plan with small tasks w/ a reasonable deadline - Exhaustion (8:35)
Matt is the kind of person I need as a friend in my life. People like him don't exist around me- or I just can't find them.

Phenomenal person reading this, surround yourself with people who are better and wealthier! Keeps you humble, teachable, and hungry. You become those with whom you surround yourself with! Birds of a feather flock together! You got this! 🌟 I believe in you! Love - Nat ❤️
One thing that hit me is when you forgive yourself from failures you tend to procrastinate less. Gonna try this from now on. Thanks Matt!

Perfect vídeo and perfect timing. Thank you Matt!
Loved the approach to this video 💛
i really needed this thank you so much
So helpful. Thanks Matt
Your vids keep getting better and better
Thank you for this💫
When you said, 'are you procrastinating or mental exhausted', I breathed a sigh of relief hearing someone say it out loud. I always feel guilty because I have a big to do list but by the time I finish work I never get through as much as I would like and I feel guilty.
The ending was gold! Thanks Matt!!!
Thank you so much for this. I’m emotionally touched. Your advices mean a lot to me!
I needed this! thanks
Can’t tell you how much I needed this, especially since daylight saving time ended- thank you!!
I'm taking your KZread course right now, and it is so neat to see everything you talk about in that course implemented in your videos. I'm learning a ton not just from your content, but how you construct it as well. Thanks Matt!
You nailed this video man! Thank you for this video❤️
The last message was what i exactly needed. Thank You
Thank you so much for this video, I really needed to hear that! 💛
i just love your editing style 🤯😩
I wrote the second draft of a novel in 2020. Over the course of only seven months! I'm yet to start revising it but while watching this video an idea came to me on how to improve this important first page / chapter.
This is great content. You covered really strong points. And perfect timing to remind myself about self compassion too. Thank you Matt 🙏
Great video. As always!
Love this!!
This is the video that actually I needed most at this moment. Thanks!
This is so useful Matt.
Thanks for this Matt.. it really hit home 🙏🏼
I’m grateful the timing of this episode it was so helpful ❤
I absolutely loved the twist at the end! Sometimes you just need to give yourself a compassionate kick in the butt. 😅
Always happens just before the final push of a project. I guess all 5 hit us at the same time. Great video Matt !!
You can't imagine how useful I find this video! Eye-opener for me! They all apply to me even though I can't say that I procrastinate a lot as I push myself forward as much as I can! xx
wow thank you I needed this video so much today
Just wanted to say thank you, Matt. I really needed this 🙂
💯 This is so accurate and helpful.
I love this and sooo needed this video on today!! Thank you!!!
There are so many videos like this on KZread but this one seems to hit the nail on the head to the point where I'll watch it again to actively take notes. I'm pretty sure I'm experiencing all of the reasons you mentioned
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve got a couple of wedding videos I’ve been putting off and it’s nice being able to call myself out with what I’m doing and how I can overcome those excuses and get them done.
I really needed these practical tips. Thank you! 💕
Amazing as always!
This is perfect, thank you
amazing video congrats matt
Can't wait to see this video! I've been trying to pull myself up from wherever i am because it's been a long long year. Gotta' stay productive and positive! ✨✨
Love your videos!! So motivating 😊
As an adult with ADHD, it's a mix of 1-4 and just my brain saying "yeah you need to do it, but you don't feel like you need to do it right now do it can't be THAT important."
Time to go check this mole out. Thanks, Matt!
You’re awesome Matt. You make laugh while learning much from you. Keep up the good work.
This video was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Helped me view some things anew and push thru my adhd to watch it without stopping to check something else.
Brilliantly done - and extremely helpful!
🤯 Seriously! Thanks. ❤️
This is so nicely summed up , i have read multiple books and articles to resolve my chronic procrastination and you just explained in some minutes. This is AMAZING
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed and it made me think a lot of things
loved the sound effects on the fight flight or freeze part!
Thank you for this
Matt, thanks!
Matt thank you for this video. I have been finding myself falling into the procrastination cycle for job hunting these past few months and it has wrecked my sleep schedule so badly. So I tried breaking it down into smaller steps and it is making tackling it a little easier. I think I'll still have to work on reminding myself to overcome the first four reasons at each step of the process but overall I think this video will help me a lot as I go through this process.
Thank you Matt! It was one of the most helpful of your videos! It helped me reflect on my feelings and behaviours and realise that being less strict on myself can make a difference. 😊
thank you for this video, it really helped me
I love that... Self-compassion and self-forgiveness indeed...
These documentary type videos are next level
You have helped me so much you truly do not know how much this has and will benefit me.I’ve learned so much and am in a better situation thanks to you.Thank you.
Tysm, this certainly helped me figure my current state of procrastination & the way to improve 🤍
thank you. as someone who procrastinates for literally all of these reasons this video caught my attention. i'm a long time fan of your work and decided to take serious notes from this video. procrastination/avoidance behaviors have taken a major toll on my life and that has made me feel dull and exhausted. it really is EXHAUSTING to avoid things. but change takes time and like you said, we need to forgive ourselves. you truly make an impact matt.
the fact that I'm procrastinating by watching this :)
Thanks Matt. You made me feel a lot better. Forgive yourself... It's something I should start doing more often ♥️
I can relate with the overwhelm and exhaustion thing, thanks for the video and very nicely explained, imma fix things now.
This is my new favorite video. Deep down I needed to hear the godly words in the video since I've always felt exhausted for a couple of years now.
This video was very meaningful and beautifully produced
I think the self-sabotage is my thing..... thanks for talking about that!
Thanks for this video ! I was talking yesterday about many projects I've never finished to my friend because I'm a procrastinator... And thx to your video, it brought me light in my life. I understand why it "blocks". You're already described procrastination but this video is much better, well released !
This is really great. Even when we know some of these things, seeing someone talk openly about it in the way you did here really helps. The comment, "stop thinking so much about yourself" hit different lol.
Best one I’ve ever seen. This video can teach people to be more conscious when procrastinating. Thank you ❤️ from Russia
