Try the hour rule. If you start to procrastinate, make a rule that whatever you're putting off you can either do it or sit and do nothing, absolutely nothing for an hour. After 20 minutes of doing absolutely nothing you'll realise its better to be getting on with whatever you were procrastinating from.

When you over-analyze and overthink a task it can also prevent you from taking action early on, therefore causing you to procrastinate. This is the biggest issue I have when taking on a challenging project at work or studying for an exam.

Thanks for trying. :-) I have to say however, as a long time procrastinator this did not fit for me at all. I had the feeling that you never truly suffered from the type severe procrastination that I and others have. I often feel that many people don't or maybe they just have a milder version. If all it takes is telling yourself that you need a bigger challenge or rephrasing the tasks - then congratulations! You found a way to fool yourself easily into doing the tasks. However, in this case you are really the polar opposite of many procrastinators. But if you really have problems with it, it is almost debilitating. I realize that the reasons are probably different for everybody, so I will talk only from my perspective. To me, I procrastinate most on tasks that I don't feel I am good enough to do perfectly or tasks that I don't know enough about to do them well. Also a big factor - my emotional reactions to those tasks. I build them up in my head, or rather my gut, to be bad/annoying/hard until I have a strong emotional aversion when I just start to think of them. When the pressure of a deadline has become so unbearable that I have no choice but to do them, I will and often even do them fairly well but I need the extreme pressure to get started and stick to it. And I would have probably done a much better job had I started sooner. This is very harmful and extremely exhausting. Everything in my life felt like I made it much harder for myself, like e.g. my master's degree or getting ahead in my career. I have been trying to find a way out of this for decades. All the self help books didn't help with that. Some advise to "just do it" or "just get started" or "just do it for 10 mins", many say "make to do lists" or - like you - "have more detailed to do lists". These don't address the underlying issue and for me never worked. I am not saying I have a solution, I am still looking for one. I assume it has a lot do with me being a perfectionist and a people pleaser. Not wanting to look bad in front of others and probably some self esteem issues deep down. This got way longer than it should, but I just wanted to give you a different perspective as you don't really seem to suffer from the same kind of procrastination as I do. Also, for others who have similar issues: don't feel bad if all these tips in this video or the self help books don't work for you. You are not alone.

@adityaverma6120

You sound a lot like me. One thing that helps me is I spend time in learning/practicing the tools needed to better in those tasks that I've been afraid to do (scare of imperfection). I'm a programmer and I'd like to give a simple example related to it: Whenever I have an assignment/project, I feels really scary at first if there a new library/framework/language needed for it. So what I do is spend a few days in perfecting the library/framework/language needed. And then I start the project, which I do with utmost perfection in my view. Needless to say, this only works If I start things in time. For that emotional aversion you mentioned, I used to have it a lot. I've recognized it many times and also traced the reason for it -> a bad experience. It's just a past bad experience related to the task you might have that is creating those emotions. All you need is a fresh start for that topic. Start afresh, forget everything, and you will be once again start enjoying it. This all works for me. But I still procrastinate many times xD. Still struggling, figuring out things, hoping to get better with time :)

I have always felt like this as well and was diagnosed with ADHD at 23. Don't give up on yourself though. I almost did for the past 2 years which was a very dark time for me but the unhappiness pushed me to change things in my life. This year, I've accomplished so much more than I ever thought I would. It's never easy by any means but we just have to keep pushing ourselves and trying different things. That said, I came to this video because I was slipping into a pit of anxiety-fuelled procrastination again. I decided to search for a Matt D'Avella video because he's usually very motivating for me. So there's never a permanent solution, it's always going to be a constant battle - for most of us I think, but especially for those of us with ADHD. And that's okay, I realized that working hard is not the enemy. I can easily work very very hard when it's something I'm very passionate and excited about and it feels great so I just need to find a way to channel that same energy into the things I have to do. The thing about motivational videos and self-help books is that they oversimplify everything massively. If it was that simple, there wouldn't be an entire industry built around it. There are so many factors involved in why we procrastinate and how to overcome it, I found that the only thing that I can say consistently helps is trying different things, being patient with yourself and persevering in overcoming the difficulties even when it's hard. Books and videos do at least motivate me temporarily to work hard and be productive when I need a push. Make sure have a good support system and don't neglect your mental health or allow yourself to succumb to that feeling of being completely overwhelmed or fall into a pit of guilt and self-loathing! Practicing mindfulness has helped me with things like that. Whenever I start to feel super anxious and overwhelmed, I try to take a step back and think about why I'm feeling that way, and usually I find that my nervous system is just overreacting to something that's not that bad. And reframing what I'm doing helps too, to remind myself that I really do love what I'm working on and the fear of failure is making me hate it. I'm sure there are a lot of things out there that help, if only a little. Just don't give up. There are things that help, even if only a little, for only a short time, but the only way to really fail is to give up. I should add that medication has never really worked out for me because I can't tolerate any of the side effects. Those of us with ADHD have to work a lot harder than neurotypical people to get the same things accomplished but it is not impossible! (Sorry I didn't mean to write an essay lol, but just more proof that I can work really hard and focus when I'm feeling passionate haha and I'm sure you can too!)

Shifting the default mode negative narrative towards the thing you’re procrastinating on into a positive one by realizing the fact that we as humans naturally gravitate towards the most rewarding activities (neurochemicals) with the least amount of effort, and so that the procrastination merely is a response to a negative association towards the task. It’s really about flipping the script and realizing that what you’re procrastinating on is not that bad, but weighed against other very appealing (easy and stimulating) activities it will seem horrible 😅

Today is the day I’m starting to be a minimalist. I have watched almost every video of yours Matt about it and it sounds great. Today I start the first step with decluttering and I just want to say thank you for your videos. You have really helped me a lot

Thank you so much for all the information Matt, your work is really appreciated ^^

This is crazy I just put out a video called "the truth why we waste time and procrastination" yesterday! Love the message of this video, I tackle it from a slightly different angle. I think the key to our time-wasting is that by wasting time we are actually buying time to avoid deeper issues in our lives. So my solution is to actually reduce the need for avoidance! I aspire to get to this level one day Matt!

I just watched your Minimalism documentary on Netflix and it was AMAZING. It truly made me look at my life in the present and in the future in such a different lense. And I feel so fortunate that I was able to witness and learn about minimalistic and intentional living so early on so I could start to make better decisions sooner and enjoy more peace or whatever resemblance of peace I can get everyday. Thank you for making the doc it was very well made and featured really cool people in it.

I NEEDED this. I have been struggling with finding motivation to just "make YT videos" but breaking it down into little pieces makes it more manageable. Thank you 😌

Is this just a coincidence that Matt D’Avella, Nathaniel Drew, Thomas Frank, Ali Abdaal and Better Ideas, all post on the same day 🤔 ?

they are likely in tune with the youtube algorithm and their channel analytics. since their target audience overlaps, the optimal time for each of them to publish a video will also overlap

Just added this video to my “watch later” list.

Hey I’m a subscriber for a while, first time commenter! I disagree with you on many subjects but the good quality of your videos and many of the points you make in your videos I am not only agree but learn and apply in my life! I definitely can relate to many things! I wish in our day and age people who disagree can still have a conversation and learn from each other! Keep up the good work! God bless you!

Procrastination is such a huge problem going on for for ALL of us. So many distractions. Breaking projects down makes them possible!Thanks so much for sharing this! 🙌🦋🌏

I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach studying, working out and taking care of my brain (journaling) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my studying, exercise and journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. Because historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.

I can stare at something like an important doc trying to read it for 10 hours straight and liteally nothing happens. My brains just check out This is procrastination ascension

Every time I've been a overwhelmed or depressed I come and watch your video and it change me really and make me want to be productive and make me happy so thank you for posting this video you really help me 🥺💜

Thank you so much Matt, this video is exactly what I needed today, I had a major sleep deficit whilst having to perform at a really high level and tonight I tried to “get my sleep back” by sleeping for 12 hours, waking up with a terrible migraine. I wanted to do something with my day, but felt no motivation. I wrote down notes from your video to remember them and am now really inspired to fo challenge myself, even though I still very much don’t feel well physically and mentally. However I know some activity is exactly what I need. Thank you

One things I will never procrastinate doing is watching Matt's videos! Thanks for the inspiration :)

I have been fighting procrastination for as long as I can remember. Things only started to change for me when I stop wasting time on meaningless tasks. Instead of searching for optimal ways to do things, I would just force myself to start that thing instead.

Matt, honestly, your videos changed my life more than i can think! It brought me to a different path, and i've felt more at sync with myself! Thank you for your wonderful contents.

This has helped me A LOT! Thankyou! I have been in a rut with studying for a big exam after graduating from undergrad for about 4 months. With only having one thing to do, which is uncommon for me I started to lack motivation causing me to procrastinate more and more. This advice, has helped me not put things off towards the last minute.

This video was exactly what I needed today. Your views are about to go up because I'll be watching this bad boy every day until it's ingrained in my membrane. Thank you, brother!

*I just write long To-Do list and check all Boxes after some time even if I have done nothing, This is really satisfying........*

What also happens? A mind game where "too challenging" and "too easy" come together. That's when the task itself is simple but you are putting WAY too high of expectations on it! "It has to be perfect!" I notice this happens to me.

Hey, I might have watched thousand videos on procastination (I know, ironic) but this simple yet breakthrough explanation really made things clear for me. I can distinguish what is holding me back fairly easy now, sometimes the task is so boring to start and sometimes its so daunting that you can't get a hold of it. I will definitely try to break down the harder tasks but I still don't know what to do for the boring ones. And thanks Matt for making this video by breaking through the procastination barrier!

Great time to put out this video. I just rewrote my To-Do list and added some more challenging tasks. Thanks for the motivation.

Matt, this is the first and probably only time ever that I'm writing a comment like this: Thanks for the Storyblocks-Recommendation! I didn't know it before and am in the middle of making my online course videos more beautiful - so this will make my life much easier! Also, I've been following you for a long time and I love your videos and humor!

Breaking it down to bits is what helps me the most!

Matt needs to open a zen, minimalist center. Coffee talks, mediation sessions, weights, and study spaces along with free journals! Haha

@siabi971

As much as I also want that to happen--I doubt he will. That's so not Matt, he's not into journaling and meditating (only does it when he really needs to, like when being stuck in a rut or when having some personal issues but not on a regular basis), He's not into "zen" things, the closest thing that I would consider a zen thing--or atleast the closest thing to a zen thing that he does is minimalism. Of course these are just what I have gathered from all of his videos, I'm don't know him personally and I based these off what I see of him as a fan. Maybe coffee and minimalism talks would be much more accurate.

Matt's videos always come out at the perfect times i swear

Really appreciate this insight. I better understand why I’m so consistent at meeting deadlines, but my my motivation to do so dramatically increases the closer the deadline becomes.

great video Matt, thanks! Really enjoyed the casual real talk at the end. I realised I often confuse things that I don't want to do because it's difficult with things I don't want to do because it's not fulfilling. Great point!
