My procrastination started after depression. I wasted 80% of my time in meticulous planning and daydreaming. I didn't complete courses I enrolled into, neither did I apply for jobs in time, nor did I attend any interview.... My career was in ruins when I was busy daydreaming about it. Nothing helped except for outdoor activities like hiking, and sports.

I was also a "professional procrastinator". I was later diagnosed with severe depression and after getting on anti depressants (and working thru my depression ofc) my energy has been better and I don't do what I used to call procrastination anymore. If you're constantly tired and not procrastinating by choice, you can talk to a professional if this is something that you can relate to

Bad methods and procrastination ruined mine entirely. I have recovered from ocd and severe anxiety disorders without a therapist or medicines so it took me a long time. But i always had trouble developing my life in studies and procrastination ruined it even further. I didn't know the detriments because of the "normalization " of it but now after learning mental health skills i realise how i have never worked on my methods and because of it i hated studying and now I'm sitting for a big exam (after graduation), & i can't continue like this anymore. I know if i can build skills in other directions of life, i can do this too. I have lot of beliefs and fears around 'career, studying, learning'..I'm breaking all of them. I'm taking a year break to overcome my barriers and your channel is my guide towards it. Already implemented strategies but it'll take time. I know my growth is delayed and so will be my success, but I'm ready to break my patterns and face my fears and build the skills using the right methods without putting a time pressure on myself. I get very anxious while breaking them, but yes it's all a part of the process. I also see resemblance in your content with mental health skills (related to how brain works) , which inspired me more to do this. Making the most of what I've and creating more towards the direction i want to go, thanks for your content Justin ! ♥️ let's build 💪

I am Gen X and going back to school. I just found you. I am so glad I did. Thank you for what you post. Your procrastinating point is very interesting to me. I grew up outside in nature 😊. I have a flip phone without apps to limit distractions. I have been preaching for people to take back their down time. I see now it's more important then ever. I have a tablet for when I am done with my studies. I have a laptop for my schoolwork with apps I need for nursing school work, pen and paper. I see this as respect for myself , my family and my education. My MIL keeps asking me if I've seen whatever on Facebook. Like, no mom, why don't you tell me about it? I'm more interested in spending this time with you and what you want to talk about. 😊❤
This is the first video I found that’s reassured me of the possibility that the procrastination addiction I know I have doesn’t necessarily mean I have ADHD despite the overlap in symptoms. Thanks for that. Very helpful video. I just need to put it to action. Then become increasingly consistent.
the fact that i procrastinated watching this video (its been on my watch later playlist for a week)
Ok, all this deleting apps, setting timers, going out in nature, always lead to relapse. Why? Cuz you haven’t fixed your mindset towards procrastination or doom scrolling. How do you fix that? Find one factor that you’re so dedicated and truthful for, something that you will never cheat on; everytime when you get the urge to procrastinate or do a bad activity, just remind yourself about that one factor and say to yourself “If I do this wrong behaviour, it means I’m not faithful to (the one factor you’re so dedicated to), the more I’m disciplined, the more I’m truthful to it”; and when you keep reminding yourself everytime, see how magically your mood and life transforms. For me, it’s the love of my life. You will never cross that line once you see how powerful this self motivation is.

I have same issue, i will share few steps that i found useful 1.workout - after 2 weeks you will see benifits 2.use timer to qualify your work, i.e if you are planning to study 6 hours a day, put 6 hours in timer (ideally in your watch)and when you stop working and start daydreaming or doing other stuff you stop timer so that you can qualify the amount of time you actually do the real work 4. Do mindful meditation, i.e sit in meditation position close your eyes and try to put all of your attention and awareness to your forehead between the eyebrows, the aim is to reduce thoughts and reach a state of zero thoughts , if you do it right you will attain full concentration for 2 to 3 seconds maximum initially that itself will help you calm your mind and focus more 5.Try to get rid smart phone from your work space, it should be out of your eye site (I'm not a native English speaker excuse my language )
Had this opened up as a tab 2 weeks ago. Just watched it. It was like the best gut punch I've ever received.
I did not expect this to be about the addictive side of this. I was in a really deep hole in life and had nothing positive to look forward to. 'Reflection' was an instant recipe for misery, so procrastination/distraction was how I kept myself sane. Now that I'm ready to really try again, the crutches have become a dependency. Most anti-procrastination advice is very simple and shallow. This was cool. I won't see any replies to this quickly, as I'm turning off KZread notifications. :)

I appreciate how you said adhd factors into things! I know ppl says it is a "neurological" condition rather than a mental illness (like depression) but considering how much comorbidity there is, I wonder how much the invention of social media contributes to attention span/difficulty regulating focus or motivation (and therefore difficulty finding meaning in life or in doing things that aren't immediately rewarding). Videos get shorter and shorter, things become "viral". life feels like it just moves faster than before. My first therapist told me that our society and environment might be changing faster than our biology/brain can evolve and keep up with. Humans can be resilient and adaptable but it's also understandable why many are more anxious or depressed than they are able to cope with...
I think I needed to hear that ups and downs are normal, it means we are alive. But all time up is what is abnormal. Thanks for that!
Super timely! Thanks Justin!

Thank you for the adhd clarification because it is such a buzzword these days! I am a recovering procrastination addict who suffered severe executive dyfunction for the past 8 -10 years. My treating psychiatrist thought it was ADHD and tried every other drug but none of them helped. Finally, after years of being unproductive, a super-specialist found the root cause: p OCD. That in addition to pre-existing major depression and anxiety disorder, was nothing short of a disaster!Not only was I addicted to procrastination, I was obsessed with many different things including procrastination. The compulsions added more fuel to the fire and had me feeling like I was mentally out of control. The neuropsychiatrist who discovered the OCD literally saved my life and for the first time in 10 years, I felt like a capable human being who could get at least one thing done. Brain recursive therapy with a psychologist was the cherry on top of new and effective medication. So to anyone who feels like there’s no hope for them, until you’ve exhausted all options, keep going. Heck I was one specialist-referral away from donating myself to clinical trials and whatever brain surgery I could get.
You ROCK Justin! Thank you for sharing your info!
I'm about to fail one of my classes and I'm pre-med. I'm procrastinating so much though- My family is being broken up and life is hard right now. I might be addicted to procrastination so I'm glad that this video popped up. It's not even like I'm on social media, I don't have any social media; I'm just laying down. One thing I'm wondering about is how to learn something you don't understand in a short amount of time. I'm struggling so bad with linear algebra and there are no good videos on it and the books are a bit complicated. The only way I've been getting through is by someone teaching it to me and this feels like not the most efficient way to go through college.

It is very simple 1.Exercise or meditate daily morning 2.Start writing daily about ur routine u won't follow the routine first bt later on u will catch it up 3.And final is the 5 seconds method. Check what u have writen in ur routine and then say I have to do it and count down to 5 seconds and go do make a move for it in that countdown

Hello, very nice video. But I have the problem of inner distractions and external ones. I deleted Instagram, blocked KZread if I went more than an hour etc. But I can't get over inner distractions, like daydreaming and overthinking. My specific problem is imagining myself living another life( not particularly happy, but every thing will be resolved somehow) or imagine another world with characters that I guess if I have the time to write them it would be a novel, but most of my daydreams are when I am not alone. Fiction 😅😅😅 I don't know what this is But I really need a solution 😭

@Catholicguy-qs3ng ofc! Okay so, I don't know all the details of your problems but I'll guess it's a little like mine (sit down with material in front of you but just don't get the work done. Sometimes I even feel like my brain is literally broke) If your condition is somewhat like that, then it's similar to what I used to, & still do experience. Only now it's manageable & I can solve the problem when I need to The way I solved the problem was simple: after I put the distractions away & sat down I: 1. Intentionally set the goal of the study session (from work on assignment to studying a set of material) 2. Set up a Stopwatch on Google & listened to rain sounds (I use rainy mood bcs it's free & easy) 3. I told myself that the work I was doing was the most important thing in the world. That's how I solved. & this was the most insightful finding (there are more but if there's one thing you can learn from me here, I want it to be this) There came a few moments when studying where my concentration weakened & intrusive thoughts crept in. An example being I'm coding & forgot abt Laundry or a text of mate etc. When these moments happened, I actively told myself these didn't matter, or at least not as much as my work (see point 3) & it's strange but when I think like that, in a few minutes I begin working just fine & start to enter flow. It's almost like I make a decision that studying trumps anything else in my environment. My brain tries to distract me but when I make that decision, it then rewires itself to enjoy doing the task. I have no idea why this is a thing, but it genuinely has changed the way I focus & has given me a tool I can use every day to study & do work. Soz for long post, ask more specific questions if you'd like. I'd also love to hear what you think abt the post & for you to try it & come back & tell us how it went!
Your distinctions between ADHD and being addicted to procrastination is interesting. I've been consuming content lately about ADHD and suspect that I have adult ADHD. I find myself yearning to go on a 10-silent retreat every year. I don't feel any withdrawals while I am there. It's actually a feeling of relief because I simply do not have access to any internet at all and meditating for about 8-10 hours a day. Does that mean I have ADHD? When I'm at home though, I do find myself always opening KZread or Instagram and seeing all the reels and what the almighty algorithm has on a silver platter for me. Coming back from the course, I have a lot more self-control, probably due to strengthening of my pre-frontal cortex, but as time goes by, I always go back to the same patterns. What do you think? ADHD or no?

When you mention how to tell if you're addicted to practination, it got me wondering about the difference between procrastinating on a task you want to do vs a task you don't want to do. For example, procrastination at work is easy if you don't like your job. So to me it feels like a natural response to seek out more enjoyable tasks. Is it still procrastination addiction at this point, or just avoidance behaviour? I rarely find myself procrastinating on tasks I actually want to do, because they're inherently rewarding.
