An End to Procrastination | Archana Murthy | TEDxMarcusHighSchool

Humans are all united by a force greater than joy, sorrow, and love... procrastination. Contrary to the humorous picture our popular culture paints, avoidance of work is a serious issue. Surveys suggest that 85-95% of students encounter problems directly related to procrastination. As a teenager, all-too-familiar with this torrid cycle of stress, anxiety, and depression, Archana Murthy presents an insightful cure to one of society’s greatest ills. Through personal reflection, Archana suggests that the cure to procrastination is a springboard for a greater journey that is better navigated with others.
Archana Murthy is a student of Marcus High School but also of life. She learns Indian classical music and dance but loves any and all art. She believes that art, science, and spirituality are often interchangeable. This is her first TEDx talk.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Excellent video! 3 things that have helped me: 1. Read the book "The War of Art' by Steven Pressfield. This books also references the quote from the Bhagwad Gita. 2. Write down Long-term, short-term and daily goals 3. Use the 'Pomodoro' technique. Break down large tasks into intervals of 25 minutes. In my experience, procrastination often occurs because of feeling overwhelmed by a big task. By breaking down a big task into smaller tasks, it makes it easier to take action.

    No. Lack of appreciation when the value is obvious is always because they/ the other people are different. For example a group of average or below people facing an above average person. Or maybe they are procrastinating in laughing and appreciating. : ) Now in this case, I don't know if that's really the case of the reactions (or apparent lack of). We only know what got edited into the video. Maybe they were laughing but we could not hear it in the video, etc.

    I didnt hope this kind of speech from high school student. She was above my expectations. She is very wise and focus on good point about procrastination: emotions. She is right, if we can manage our emotions well we can be successfull in every area of life. Politicians and scientists discover this point. Social media effect our norosystem and handle us via our emotions thats why we are addicted. Good speech..

    Don't focus on the results. Instead, focus on the work, and the work itself has to be enough One must do action without any expectation of the fruit of the action. I. Concrete goal No distractions, no internet II. Only positivity, push off negativity III. Self reflection every day: Acknowledge feeling of satisfaction or anxiety inside me IV. Feel grateful for being able to persue your goal V. Reflection journal

    Last and final thoughts --- just wanna say, Archana, you are truly inspirational. Though I am a Christian and have different beliefs than you, I believe we meet on several things eye to eye. First of all I just want to say, you are a very, very gifted public speaker. You know how to captivate your audience with your engaging way of using the art of language. You organized your speech in a way that I think I learned in my speech class, with a hook/visualization component, tying it to your main message, and ending it off with a call to action. I also saw your usage of hand gestures, pauses, and different cues that led your audience along your speech. You also didn't pace back and forth, which can sometimes be distracting. (Sometimes it can be engaging if done a certain way; however, it is not necessary.) You could make a huge difference in this world if you used this gift continually. Like I said in a previous comment, I pray you come to know Jesus Christ (in His timing.) I will be praying for you for I believe that is how I can show appreciation to you. I know, you don't even know who I am, but just know this: Jesus Christ knows your name for He created your inmost being in your mother's womb and his thoughts for you outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore.... (Psalm 139.) If there was a God out there who was so loving and beautiful like this, I am sure you would want to know Him. I know you know there is a God, but knowing who God *truly* is is crucial in this fleeting life. All those who seek shall find. To all those who knock, the door shall be opened. And all those who ask, shall receive.

    Excellent talk. Super helpful. You have no idea how bad my procrastination became. Even the thought of work makes me feel stressed and afraid. It's so unrational, especially for me being a very rational and confident person. But it's indeed a very subconscious process that I find hard to break. I will try your methods immediately. thank you so much. I'll update this thread with my progression.
