Oh god, I've once more entered this vicious cycle of feeling stressed, therefore procrastinating to forget/avoid that stress, only to get more stressed cuz I realized just how much time I wasted procastinating... I genuinely have no will power, and it's messing me up the wrong way

[@Sara-zy9tt]

I feel the exact same way and i feel lost and that i will never ever make it

[@phainhotoi2877]

I think that might be depression and /or anxiety, when you're having an episode, you feel so overloaded with exhaustion, heaviness and the excruciating pain that the emotions are bombarding you, so much to the point of complete inability to do anything. I have extreme procastination because of this, often times it would feel so unbearable that i would just end up browsing my phone or sleeping just to be distracted from the horrible feelings, even when i get myself to study, that brain fog and dullness makes it kinda impossible for me to execute my study quickly and efficiently.
I think we'll just have to force ourselves to study or work at one time, so that when we get the stuff done, we would feel prouder, motivated and have a sense of control, so we can keep continuing the next times one by one, opposite to avoiding and creating bigger problems as the feeling of guilt and regret of not doing anything just build up, it's like the domino effect.

Him: “Go for a walk and clear you head”
Me (who loves the outdoors): Heads out front door, notices weeds need to be pulled in front flower beds, pulls weeds. Then sees the flower bed could use some more plants and needs more mulch. Goes to gardening center, buys more plants and mulch, plants the new plants and spreads mulch. Then walks over to garden to check on it, and spends the next five hours tending to it. Then goes for walk, and comes back barely before dark. Feels accomplished about what I got done outside, and decides to study tomorrow. 😅
Once I go outside it’s hard for me to come back in! I definitely do find spending time outside very helpful to my mental health!

Every time I’m struggling with some things such as no motivation and procrastination, I open up CZcams and Thomas Frank has done a video about it. Believe it or not I actually take notes on your videos and they have helped me a ton. It made me feel a lot better to know that I’m not the only person who struggles with these things, and somebody who is as successful as you are struggled with them too. I’m glad you decided to do this type of thing with your time. your video about bouncing back from failure helped me more than you’ll ever know.

[@_solange]

I noticed that I can't study at my house. I get distracted so easily because I can't have a study place. So, I just got a membership at a nice library near my house and so far, it has been great.

I have the same issue. I can't be productive at home easily. Especially in my room

[@michelecerna7563]

I can relate, the solution for me was a group study (a serious one)

[@vlad.the.impaler.]

In my case I can't study in my room because I just feel too comfortable and relaxed to the point of just forgetting what I was supposed to be doing... So I just started waking up early, taking a shower and going to the library, even if I didn't have any reason to go out that day.. The fact that I'm in a public place, out of my comfort zone has helped me quite a lot

I never leave comments on videos normally and I know you won't see this but I wanted to say thank you so much for this video. I have recently started my final year of university during the covid pandemic and I had just lost motivation. I wanted to let go of everything and just stop caring. I started skipping classes and getting behind on assignments which is really unusual for me. I started eating crappy food and just not keeping a good sleep schedule. This video is the only video that has helped me break down what seems like an insurmountable task of recovering my semester. The whole premise of doing it little by little and not seeing it as this big scary task honestly does work! I'm now in the library busting out assignmenta and actually enjoying doing so. You have saved my degree and for that I thank you 💯❤️

[@KaiAndrew]

Pretty sure this applies to anytime you’re not feeling motivated to do any task. I’d consider myself a very hard worker, but have moments of procrastination or laziness.
What I’ve found that works for me is literally to create a smaller list of “checkpoints” I need to accomplish to finish my task. Then I just start on the first one on the list to build that momentum.
Great video!

[@dourple]

The 24K Life aHHH THANK YOU! this is a great tip duddd

[@lukedekruif3328]

the more I think about it that momentum building part is super important, you typically dont go from 0 motivation to concentrated hard worker. Thanks for the tip.

Great tips, Frank! I agree, motivation is overrated and it’s almost never there when we need it. What helps me most to start is the Pomodoro technique

[@hishouha]

What helps me the most is definitely taking the time to organize my work space and, because of COVID I work in my bedroom, I also make sure to do my bed, sometimes open a window and keep my room organized enough. It's the first thing I do when I come to work, I organize everything those before me left and plan my things.

[@marypoppins9318]

Usually my motivation is the imminent dread that comes with knowing that my test is tomorrow and I have done nothing

[@tasleemsmg]

You're already motivated. This motivation is for who is in zero motivation zone.

[@wow2302]

How am I supposed to be motivated if I spend my life learning things that I am not interested in? Only for an exam that I probably won't be able to do anyways because I wasn't motivated to learn enough?
Of course there are also things in school that I am interested in... so why can't I just learn more about these things? Instead, I have to learn about things where I know that I'll never need them later in life and which I am not interested in...

Something that turned my life around:
Getting enough vitamin D.
If you live in a country above the 40th parallel and or you don't spend much time in the sun and you rarely eat fish and eggs, you might have a vitamin D deficiency and that would make you feel chronically tired and low in motivation. Get your blood vitamin levels checked and make sure to take about 5000 IU in liquid D3 supplements daily if you are low. A walk in the sun is not nearly enough if you live in the North.

[@ironbullet9956]

5000 UI is a very snall amount its mostly used for kids tho I'm usşng 35000 UI

[@idk9747]

Oh well that makes more sence of why im so tired and not at all motivated these last couple months....

[@Glocky131]

@@ironbullet9956 Depends on where you live but 35000 will be way too much anywhere in the world. Too much is toxic for your liver so make sure you get a blood test before taking high doses.

[@nikkidash4826]

Well, it would depend on where your unmotivated-ness is coming from. Do you want to refrain from doing a certain task because of the way it has to be completed/how hard it is, or because the subject itself doesn't interest you?
