I didn't get this name 'input'. Why is it called like this? It's still output, but a smaller one

@@oleshko-g Well, in this case the “input” is the process of starting something and overall finding your rhythm and the “output” is the end/conclusion. And the point she is trying to make is that, you should just get started on a big task first and go from there (don’t be scared of the task/assignment).

@@damilolaaleyemi5917 wow really? Any tips YOU have as someone new to this ??

I have ADHD and so i'm a chronic procrastinator. I do a lot of these things subconsciously to motivate myself. Great tips!

I’m nearly finished my working career as a radiation therapist. Here’s somethings I’ve learnt: 1) it’s ok to be second best at times. Allow others to lead, and support them. Being part of the foundation is just as important as being the best. Let someone else have the glory from time-to-time. You’ll want a company of competence at the top. 2) that year wasted isn’t wasted. Finding out what you really hate is just as important as finding out what you love doing. If you’re having trouble identifying your passion, imagine yourself in your worst job (“McDonalds” come to mind) and work backwards eliminating hates (crowded, chaotic work environment, no self-expression) and defining wants (quiet environment, not on a tight time-schedule, no fluorescent lights). Hey! Sometimes keeping what you love just for yourself is a gift! (like being a kayak guide if you love kayaking.. your daily day: unfit people who have no paddle rhythm or balance.. Do you really want to share your heartfelt passion with them?) Do what you can easily tolerate doing daily while orienting your sights onwards to your passion. Work/life/love is a process, not a single decision or degree. 3) Be polite with yourself. Listen to yourself. Trust yourself. 4) if you’ve had a rough go of it (loss, abandonment, ostracizement etc), find a professional to talk with. One profound sentence or thought from an experienced person is often your key to blossoming into the next phase of your life. 5) learn to enjoy your life. It’s short. Learn to love it. Good luck out there 😘😘

Those first two points are really invaluable advice ❤

I like the idea of putting 5 minutes in the night before. You have already decided not to get stressed about it that night, but now that you've familiarized yourself with the job, there's a chance your subconscious mind will work on it while you're sleeping. You're more likely to wake up with fresh ideas.

One of the habits that helps me the most in avoiding procrastination is setting up a time to know what I need to do. Things like errands, homework, work, etc. Then tie them to a time frame, and I start to get anxious about procrastinating, so I only do the top 3 tasks that I need to do. This is like planning your week every Monday or every day before you start working.

Changing the scenery has had a big impact on my life, its crazy how much easier clearer I can think just by changing the room I am in

I really resonate with this topic. I am a perfectionist so I struggle with getting started, I would research research and then leave a day or two to get everything done. I am looking for strategies to stop this and just adopt the “do it” mindset.

Cristina Roman’s Deep Work Habit Club really helped me with this problem, it was like $27 for the guide.

me, actively procrastinating at this moment: hmmm yes, what an interesting video- I should watch it so I can know how to not procrastinate from the homework I should be doing at this moment

I found the idea of ‘getting familiarised’with a task thats huge as useful, makes it feel less scary and easier to tackle, making the starting friction less. Other tips are also good 👍

This is the best yeah

9:30 it's called "diffuse mode learning" , sometimes I solve coding problems when I'm not on my screen but walking outside thinking about the problem

I have watched 2-3 videos of yours and things you talk are sooooo relatable to me just like the fear of something not being perfect so you stop doing it entirely. Just recently found you and I think your advice is great. Keep it on making vids

That first tip, starting at the end of the day, is amazing idea, I wish I knew about it earlier. Too many time sill start a project, get instantly overwhelmed and like proceed to procrastinate the rest of the day, but if I would've just got the ball rolling the night before, after a good nights rest, I feel itll be a lot easier to actually get into it. I will definitely start using this tip moving forward.

I’ve just found your channel and there is so much to catch up with! I’m happy I stumbled upon it because I am feeling lost and started learning how to code yesterday. Thank you !

In addition to all these tips, one thing I really found helpful is watching your videos. It's good to have someone you can look up to for inspiration and motivation, whenever you feel bogged down; and your videos really help me do that. You just seem to know what students go through and what they need. One of the very few relatable youtubers who works in big tech, and has done good in life.

Quality content for a qualitative community! You gave me a lot of reminder from books I read a few years ago ("Eat that frog!" specifically) Thanks for your effort into video making!

I am at the verge of starting to code, and although I saw a lot of good videos, you really stand out and are really fresh. Nice that you love discovering, reading, anime. I feel proud! :-)

your productivity tips in all your videos are so specific that they have helped me dealing with procrastination soo much better!! thank you!!

I have adhd so relate to so much of this and constantly trying to overcome procrastination ! Super useful tips!

a lot of the tips you provide are so relevant. when i am given a difficult task to execute, i tend to freak out and have the inertia that makes me want to avoid doing the task (and as a result, making me mentally stress about it). i'll definitely be implementing those anti-procrastination tips in future!

This video is really a game changer for me. I feel like I just watched a cheat code or framework for keeping productive without losing my mind. Thank you so much for making this and providing your insights! I’m currently studying to become a Data Analyst and the location tip is so valuable. I’m definitely going to do this.

Something I really admire in your videos is the clarity in how you communicate and the organization of your ideas. It would be so nice if you created a video giving tips on how to communicate and speak in public! :)

Thank you so much for these tips. I work from home and a biostatistician and it’s so hard to self motivate to work on these giant analyses sometimes so I just put it off for hours (or days) on end… including right now. I’m going to try to go to the library to get work done.

Hats off to you ...for reading all the comments and even replying. U continually motivate me in my life...really grateful for these videos!

Thank you so much Tina! These are really practical tips, I sometimes could think of some of them, but it's hard for me to sort them out nice and clean like you do! I believe I will come back to this video every once a while, just to remind myself how I can do better. Ha, feel like I'm also stealing your energy now!

Super helpful! I totally agree with the two and five minute rule, very little time but really has a big impact on a day-to-day basis. The change of environment is also a game-changer.

Thank youu so much for your videos - they are super helpful - started binging your vids recently - inspiring and informative content !!!

Those were really great! Even though I was familiar with most it was still valuable to get reminded of them and get inspired by your reasoning for using those rules. Also appreciate your production quality, nicely done!

I am obsessed with your videos now . I work in finance company as well but I want to switch my field as a data scientist. Your all this material is so helpful. I can just say Thank You and keep posting.

For the eat the frog tip, i feel like it depends. Based from past experiences, eating the frog first made me procrastinate even more because initially already feared the huge task and have no motivation to begin. It has always been my issue to start on something and maintain it in the long run. However, if i strted with the easy tasks forst, i tend to get stressed because i feel like i wasnt productive enough since the most important task (usually the deadlines) are left to the last part of the day. So what I do, is I do just one short and easy task just to find some momentum to get me wanting to do something, and then get started with the difficult task. This isnt very full proof through, since i also take long in small tasks, and tend to overthink big tasks to the point that it still ends up being pushed back until the last hour of the deadline. So i often put a timer or use a stopwatch to see how long i take on things (then again timers still dont work on me) idk maybe its my adhd at this point, though I learned to accept it and if I knew that i was going to procrastinate on that day ill just try my best to passively engage in the task as a way for me to figure out how i can accomplish the huge task or think differently about the huge task in order to make it more fun to do. also, if i felt like i was gonna end up procrastinating, i also pushed myself to productively procrastinate, say on those easy tasks that i mentioned. (Since i realized that when i did the big task first most of the time i spend procrastinating before doing the thing is full of worry and anxiously scrolling thru my phone)

Love the "mindset shift"! Thanks for sharing the other tips, trying to find something RN to leave in public!!

Thanks Tina, highly helpful. Some of them I do and others I'll implement.

procrastination took alot from me im trying my best to get rid of it now , thanks for the tips !

You have no idea how helpful are your videos for me, they apply perfectly on my life :O

Mindset shift is my favourite point. Thanks Tina 😊

Awesome video Tina 🔥❣ Another micro habit to take is to stand up and stretch whenever you feel you've been in stump. I find that just stretching help's you to switch the context of your mind

Really helpful. I particularly love the environment change.

Tip #1 is great when I’m struggling with coding or a visualization as it works when I start before bed for a few minutes. It helps get my brain processing in the background, and start fresh in the morning.

If Tina's "slightly valuable things" start going missing... it wasn't me

Really great tips! Thank you, Tina!

thanks for sharing your solutions, I am also struggling with procrastination all the time.

what you struggle with is exactly what I've been struggling with and it feels like a loop, i do well for a bit and then slip back and then the cycle repeats LMAO. so im gonna try out your tips!! thanks for sharing

The mindset framework is so true. In school, I didn't give the littlest shit about Maths & never wanted to bother learning it. Now that I'm out of school & actively went out of my way to attend a Maths course online, I've realised how much a traditional school environment fucks with enjoyment, or at least the development of enjoyment.

Yes, I struggle with procrastinating because of fear of not being perfect at something. These were great tips!

Thank you. Your advice are very powerful.

I really think you are one the best around here, thanks for that content

Nice Vid, Thanks! Two things: 1) Good stuff shown here 2) Haikyu is indeed cool! Was sceptical at first, but its just really good. it motivates me too to give my best. Glad i got to know it

I love these videos They in between flashes like the one putting your head down in defeat. It is so relatable haha Thanks

The 2 minute rule is amazing for cleanliness/tidying up. Like I’d go in the kitchen for a glass of water and then realise I haven’t cleared the table, saves having it pile up into a big task.

This is so marvelous, thank youuuu!!

Thanks, great video. I'll try number 6 and leave slightly valuable stuff in public places. Hope that works 🤞

Added to watch later playlist, will watch some day

Tina Huang, Thank you 👍😊🦋 The 5 minute rule: working on the input goal is important than the output goal 💛

Going to try out the environment swapping and borrowing, hoping it'll help me to stop hating my desk lol

Thankyou hopefully these tips help me with my laziness and procrastination

you are a saint! tysm! all love and well wishes to you!

Aaaaaaa you watched Haikyuu! 🥺 So Kita already appeared in the story, he became such a inspiration for me in terms of productivity (Read the manga as well when you have time, you'll love it!) Thanks for the video!

Thanks a lot! I'll try to apply those tips for the only two weeks remaining before my math exam Wish me luck!

It's cool how the phrase "We're all really different, but at the same time, really the same" applies here. Tina has a few tips more emotional-focused, which are the ones working for her, but at the same time, she explains tips which would apply to everyone, like the "2-minute rule" which comes from the Eisenhower matrix. (I think it's a cool simplification, but that matrix has a greater potential and we all should delve deeper into it). I think we all should learn more about how our brain works for eliminating a lot of ego biases not allowing us to progress faster and then we'd be able to understand our individual traits without biases and combine both the universal and individual characteristics within us for achieving greater feats with greatr joy. We have to understand ourselves and that will pretty much improve our emotional state and our reasons for keep going. That knowledge of the self and the universal also diminishes the "I'm not that good" feeling which a lot of people in the productivity realm happen to have from time to time. Congratulations for the videos, Tina. You look as beautiful and smart as always! 😍

Leaving valuable thing in public place is great point... I use to do in my undergraduate days

The 1st one is reaally good, never noticed it but it does help me work the next day ..
