I saved this video to ‘watch later’
Nice!
Me too fella
😂😂 me too
Great
Create a playlist, title it something like "Useful Videos", and save this video in that playlist and any other video that will be useful in your life.
I’m currently procrastinating watching this vid 🫠
same i’m supposed to be sleeping u__u
💀💀😭😭🤣🤣
me too 🥲
Same here- lol I need to study for math lol
Clicked on it so it’d be in my history to watch later
As a person who procrastinates 24/7, i confirm this video helped me stop procrastinating. 😳👍
Nooo 💀 Well, we hope that the video will help you procrastinate less in the future
wdym noooo, i liked the visualize your success part tho
The biggest cause for procrastination is social media. You end up loosing so much energy and time in doing random stuffs that you actually end up not doing what's needed. So being concious of where and how we spend our energy and time will save you.❤
So true
Good luck to everyone! Remember to use social media to uplift people and only use it in positive and respectful ways toward yourself and others ❤️❤️❤️
@@devenmellor TikTok is basically the same thing as CZcams.
@@devenmellordon't blame the app just because you can't control your limits
I disagree! We didn't have social media, smartphones, or fast internet in the 90s, but I always found creative ways to procrastinate. That usually involved watching TV or playing Super Nintendo. I suppose things haven't changed much, but I guarantee that the internet has exacerbated pre-existing issues. I think the key is self-regulation, and having the self discipline to stop doing something when you know you have higher pressing priorities.
true. i go to take a break from homework to watch a couple of tiktok videos and suddenly it's 2 hours later
As a procrastinator, i can confirm I'm watching this one hour before my exam
I just stopped procrastinating a research essay, it’s 11:40 but if I stop the cycle will begin again 😭
@@blue_killjoy yea i was like you in this moment, until i had enough and started sectioning my studies
All the best...i think you already started with it😁😁
If you want to procrastinate less and concentrate better on studying you can study with me here.
Instead of watching videos on youtube you can have a video of me studying and keeping you company, so you don't get distracted.
I study for 1-3 hours with breaks in between while I keep you company
If you're interested, feel free to study with study videos of mine
Hopefully it will be useful for you ❤
Two reasons I procrastinate.
1. I won't start a large task or job till I know that I have the energy and mental capacity to finish it to the end once I start it.
2. This one has been with me for projects in high school and college. I am a perfectionist, so if I give myself too much time on something, I will overwork myself, and it will never feel done. Given just the right amount of time towards the end of a due date, gives me a place that I must stop and feel okay to be done with it.
That felt nice to write down.

Solutions: 1. just do it! OR you get more stress and anxiety. 2. One task at a time. 3. Get rid of distractions. 4. Take short breaks. 5. Drink water. 6. Exercise is focus pills.
Can't get rid of number 3, sorry. I get distracted way too easily by everything and nothing at all. Especially to my mind/imagination
The fact that I’m procrastinating while watching this video plus it revealed both of the reasons I procrastinate.. you guys are always on point
Literally, I am currently procrastinating too, and they explained why I was better than I could- I definitely appreciate the video for that
Lmao, me too. I should be doing some school work for psychology rn so that I can spend my spare doing something I enjoy tomorrow but instead I'm watching CZcams lol
Which two reasons did you relate to the most?
@@Psych2go At 0:58 I related to that the most also I also found the Self-efficiency and Forgiveness part really helpful
@@Psych2go basically from 1:10 to 1:54 in the vid is the most relatable to me. I feel like I have too many things to do and that it'll take a zillion hours to do so I get overwhelmed by it and never end up doing it. And things can seem boring or uninteresting to me so I never tend to do those either.its common with school work and cleaning my room when it comes to those too. but since I have ADHD procastination comes from that. But it might not just be because of ADHD that I procastinate, it might be all those 3 reasons combine on why I do it
I cope with procrastination by focusing on the present moment. It helps a lot and not think about all the tasks left to do and be overwhelmed.
That’s actually really good advice. I’m saving this for when I feel like I’m stuck or not wanting to do something. Thank you
@@johnkaopuiki I'm glad
That's a great tip! Sometimes it's so easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of work we have to do. But if we break the tasks into small pieces, it can help us to see that it wasn't that big a deal after all. Do you have any other tips that others can use to cope with procrastination?
@@Psych2goThanks. I can't say I'm an expert I'm currently learning along the way. I made habits to do tasks. When some days I don't feel like following routine, I give myself an hour off or a day. After that, I feel like doing tasks again. Sometimes, it's important to procrastinate without feeling guilty.
I've procrastinated for such a long time that I've been procrastinating watching a video about procrastination
1. 0:58 - The Reason
2. 1:55 - Self-efficacy
3. 2:52 - Forgiveness
4. 3:30 - Anti-procrastination Techniques
Finally after 1 month I watched the whole video.
First comment is this 👍
Finally after 5 months I have-
WHAGT ???
damn 5 months ago
Just added this video to my “watch later” list.
the thing is, it's a cycle. you hv a lot of work, hence you procrastinate cuz of the overwhelming workload, which piles up into even more work and even more procrastination, and depression and anxiety sneak in at some point
I'm working on this topic for a graded project, and this video helped, so thx! I'll credit it too :)
Exactly it feels like a cycle!!!!!!
I've been procrastinating about everyting lately, even the things that I loved the most. It's like I do nothing but sleeping all day, although I've already slept a lot, and if I'm not sleeping I'm using my phone, watching TikTok or Pinterest for hours and hours. I have a really important exam in June and I've barely study. I feel terrible about myself and I've been crying over it instead of changing it. I don't really know the cause to my procrastination and I think that's one of my biggest problems. I'm very grateful for this vid, I'll try to start studying right know, and I thought that writing down what I feel when I start procrastinating again may help me to understand myself and forgive me as well, so I can try new techniques.
I've been also reading the comments and I've found interesting things, I hope you guys are doing well and taking care of yourselves 💖
(sorry for my English it's not my native language)
its been the same for me, 😭 its almost been a year, so i hope youre doing better 👍
It's just easier to procrastinate than putting in the effort to achieve something. If there's no motivation or end goal in sight it is such a drag. Thanks for the tips though. I'll try to take regular breaks and have small bites on my plate instead of wolfing it all down in one go. One step at a time with a goal in mind.
I definitely have a procrastination issue. But I have the right motivation, I will always follow through on what I believe must be done
That's great! What kind of motivation did you find effective in helping you lessen the effects of procrastination?
I’m a professional procrastinator, this video helped a lot and was the last CZcams video I watched before getting my work done ✅. Thank you Psi 🌱. You made this video when I needed it! Whoever’s is reading this I hope 🤞 you accomplish all your goals in life 🪷💝

@@worthyproductions6104 not a problem hope you have an amazing day too
Definitely ADHD and being overwhelmed and suppressed anxiety. This video has inspired me to be more mindful of my prioritization and time management. 😬😬😬😬
I’m grateful for you - you’re so practical and forgiving, when I have trouble forgiving myself. Thank you!
PS: and your ideas help me to do those things I need to do.
Wow, thank you so much for the powerful sentiment. We're so glad to hear that our video was helpful for you. Did you enjoy this video?
@@Psych2go 👍👍👍👍
@@Psych2go ff😮ookokoioionikoiiiiomkooiiiioiiiki
Thank you for making this video, I have been procrastenating so much on assignment and being negative towards myself when I think about all of them, thanks for the help I hope your doing great and take care.
Thank you for your comment! Procrastination is a very natural phenomenon so we believe there is no need to feel guilty about it. Were there any tips from the video that you want to apply in your own life?
@@Psych2go yeah a few, one of them being to approach stuff and deal with it in small chunks to put less stress on myself
What a great timing! I currently need to study for a test that will literally determine my future, and i'm struggling with procrastination. But this helped a lot, thanks! :)
We hope that the video helped! If you don't mind us asking, what test are you studying for?
This is so hard for me... My parents, who I have to live with, guilt-trip me for procrastinating. That helps me want to give up on being believed in and not bother to try it again.
Yeah same here. It has made me put more space and not open up to them as much 😢
Seen 1000s of videos to beat this procrastination, but this is the damn that helped me understand everything. This is a video that every procrastinator who willing to come out of it needed ! ❤ Great work 🎉🎉❤️🔥❤️🔥😍😍

How did you know that I needed this video right now, even though I'm an hour late? A master psychologist indeed.
🕵️🧠
Thanks for these tips, I’ll be sure to keep them in mind. One of the biggest reasons I procrastinate is because of anxiety over something that doesn’t even exist. Think of it like toddlers being scared of the dark, but translate it to a 12 yr old being scared of anime. And the biggest thing I procrastinate doing is taking showers bc also I have some form of claustrophobia now bc of anime
Life tho
I love this voice actor so much. Her voice is so calming and she makes it so easy to understand everything going on in the video.
Currently sobbing because I’m in my 3rd year of college and constantly having to submit half finished work for my finals is making me lose hope for my future. It’s so so hard to not give into procrastination it’s my addiction to avoid work. Im so tired of this I hate how I always feel
Her soothing tone ❤🥲
I have this problem, because my ADHD and I hope this and my therapist can help me .
Honestly. I had this problem for a while. So, I will do whatever it takes to try not to fall into procrastination!
I'm struggling with procrastination, anxiety and binge eating for over a year now. I used to be the top student in my class but now my grades are not as good as before and what makes it even more difficult is my obsession with losing weight. I lost a lot of weight last year but now I gained it back and I'm so desperate now. I always say "I'll study tomorrow " or "I'll stick to the diet tomorrow" and stuff like that, but guess what? I never do. I can't talk to my parents about anything anymore because all they do is judge me and get mad, especially for binge eating. Now I have a friend to which I talk about my binge eating but I feel so embarrassed and like a weight on her back for having to hear all this. At first I thought that my weight gain was not noticeable but my PE teacher made fun of me in front of everyone. Now whenever a specific group of my classmates sees me they start saying: "Ooo I'm fat now, I ate so much during the school break", in a sarcastic tone. Being skinny and smart was my personality trait. Now I lost my self and title. I don't exercise anymore. I used to go to the gym but my parents don't let me go anymore because of my procrastination. I feel like I'm drowning. I would really appreciate it if you could make a video on how to stop binge eating. And if anybody read this, I would be more than thankful to hear if you have any tips to help me with my problems. Thank for reading and I wish you a good morning/ noon/ afternoon/ night.
This is going straight to my watch later playlist containing 211 other videos.
Procrastination is the act of unnecessarily postponing decisions or actions. It’s a common problem, which can cause many issues, like missed opportunities and increased stress.
I'll watch this when I'm done procrastinating 👍
Finally, some help with this! I’ll start implementing this method after I watch a couple more videos.
Literally in the middle of procrastinating studying for my science test 💀💀
GO STUDY PROCRASTINATION WON’T HELP . GOOD LUCK
We hope you're able to study and that you'll ace the test!
Omg same
I also have a science test
What an insightful video! I loved how you broke down complex concepts into easily understandable bits.💙
You said nobody can study for hours on end. Those are the kind of statements that really get me motivated to go for as long as possible.
😅Procrastination is the main problem why am not getting good grades but I hope one day I can stop Procrastinating my education 🤞
This video spent a month in my Watch Later list before I finally decided to watch it, so there's a brilliant start.
Did you guys read my mind!?!? I was just thinking about this! And i do this allll the time thanks for talking about it ❤
i feel so proud to the point i procrastinate because oh ye i can just do it when i feel like it because its an easy task (overestimating)
I’ve recently procrastinated on an assignment and when it was time to turn it In, I couldn’t finish couple of questions. Everyday I beat myself down telling myself “How stupid are you” but this video genuinely helped me. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been so stressed about my homework and have been procrastinating too much. This really helps. ❤
We hope that the video was able to help you relieve some stress that you have toward your homework. How is it going so far? Were you able to get some work done? (No pressure! Just curious!)
@@Psych2go Yes it did help. Forgiving myself for procrastinating was a big part of it because often I would worry about how much I had to do, then I would procrastinate, then I would worry about the fact that I was procrastinating and it felt like I couldn’t get it done because all the worrying made it hard to focus. I also think even just knowing that I can do it without being so stressed made it easier. Thank you for asking. 🙂
Thank u for this video! This helped me a lot :)
This was definitely an incredible and helpful video, and I will most certainly share this with others!
Now, as for something I procrastinate on--while some of it is on stuff like healthy eating, homework, and such, my biggest one is writing. Long story short, I'm an aspiring professional fiction writer--whether I'm good or bad is up to everyone else--but due to a combination of just business with either school or work, as well as mild discouragement from family members (more, "Put this aside and focus on climbing the corporate ladder/getting a house/etc." and less, "You'll never be a writer, so don't even try,") I got into the habit of putting writing aside--even just hobbyist writing--for other things.
I am getting better, and I even hope to publish some short stories this year, but even with what I've done to help stop procrastination and bad habits, this was an essential video to see!
Being a writer is very difficult so we understand how difficult it is to not procrastinate. However, writing can also be very enjoyable especially when we're in a creative flow. If you don't mind, would you be able to let us know what kind of stories you are writing or want to write?
@@Psych2go Yeah, definitely! It's actually one reason why I've not only gotten an English Degree in college as my first Bachelor's Degree (in case you are wondering--I'm currently working on also getting a Web Design degree as well, and will get it at the end of the year if all goes well).
As for talking about what I like to write, I'd be more than happy to! I'm definitely oriented toward fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Still, I would like to get into other genres as well (perhaps even try and do some literary fiction one day), and I enjoy taking different genres--or even plot/character concepts from other genres--and mixing them together.
Right now, I'm currently working on some short stories in a Science Fantasy universe I've developed--with said stories focusing more on personalized conflicts, such as a woman confessing her love to her best friend or a teenager about to go through a coming-of-age ceremony deciding what she wants to do in the world--but when I get into longer works, I want to focus on larger conflicts--with one longer book (either a novella or a short novel) being an adaption of Shakespeare's MacBeth, for instance.
I also have some other projects planned or started, such as a blog where I want to discuss how to give new twists on classic fantasy concepts (races, characters, settings, etc.), but since there's so much I don't want to take up too much of your time.
Thanks for asking!
really need this as i have some trouble with school and other intrests, all i do is play games even though i want to start game development myself, and when i do make it, i just keep on giving up five minutes later. So hopefully i can take these tips and work with them, though for that i i would start with sleep because it is getting kind of late.
I could be doing my homework right now - but I'm too busy procrastinating by watching this "how to STOP procrastinating" video... ( Also the fact that it said 95% of people do it to some degree, that was reassuring for me.) Love this video... Hopefully I can break my habit soon... Lol
What things will look like in a month or a year is not today's concern. There is no need for anxiety tonight.
Your goals are only a guiding light. You are welcome to think about them. That is not the same as wanting to control the future or letting it control you. Your vision can inspire you, but your focus remains on what you can do immediately. You will only ever stay in the present moment.
Let the night fortify all the knowledge you have been building here. Whatever the future brings, you will be better equipped for it.
Your voice feels so comforting, idk why (I do but still)
What a helpful video. I procrasinate a lot, so I'm going to try these tips to see if it will work. I've always wanted to make music or learn how to improve my drawings but I keep telling myself to do it, and I keep forgetting to or I remember to do it, but I end up going onto CZcams to watch something else that isn't related to it. Maybe if I follow these tips, I can move on from my terrible habits and get on from all the years I've wasted of my 17 year old life.
Thank you! I put the video on my watch later
added to my watch later list.
I’m sorry, but when I read the title, I immediately thought about BangChan saying "like mate, stop procrastinating." He is a member of the Kpop group Stray Kids and I like their music and the title just reminded me of that. Now I might actually watch the video :)
There was no right for this to be posted while I was procrastinating
I needed to see this! ❤
Thank you this helped so much it's time to get a good grade for the last week of school!
Love your videos and your voice! It's soothing.😊 But after this video, I'm sure I'll still procrastinate. 😮💨
I just don't wanna do my task bro, like I'm so egoistic and I knew it deep inside. But at the same time I'm seriously wanna do better for myself. It's like having arguments with yourself again and again and didn't know which side you're on.
I procrastinate on household chores, like washing dishes... I've learned that what helps me is to put some good music on that hypes me up, and tell myself that it's ok to only do the bare minimum. For example, unloading the top rack of the dishwasher. If I feel good, I'll do more. If I don't, then it's ok. :) I have ADHD, so I try to work around that.
My to do list is long and I usually don’t let myself do anything before I finish my work and I tend to procrastinate a lot
Thanks It helped a lot ❤
I have 4 games, multiple animations and more, yet i manage to procrastnate all of them at the same time
After seeing ur videos i gain back myself n feel gd about myself
I procrastinate so much that I procrastinated watching this video
Hey everyone!!!! Have a great day and smile!! It tricks your brain into being happier 😉 and *you deserve to be happy* !!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the video, I'll watch it later!
I see what you did there 😂
This has helped me a Lot on My workshop about procrastination🎉
Procrastination has been my main problem since I started college. With these tips, I can try to overcome it.
We hope you found these tips useful! Which point do you plan on trying for yourself?
@@Psych2go The anti-procrastination techniques. I can do well with one step at a time.
me adding this to my watch later so i can procrastinate further
LMFAOOO
Thanks! Super useful and, at the same time, hilarious! (I had it in my watch later list tho...)
- Put things I usually do when procrastinating in a to do list.
- Try to put a bunch of stuff I want to do on it.
- Attempt to do it.
- Feel pressure
- Return to the thing I originally gonna do
Reverse Procrastination
I love my passion as an illustrator. Although I think, I'm beggining to become a procratinator somehow. I feel like my working place is not supportive enough on a project that I'd made. But the good side is, the other branch of our university is more interested on my works than my own society.
i hate writing long comments since it makes me feel like i'm oversharing, but,, ever since i was in the 7th-8th grade, i struggled a hell lot with procrastination, and until now, nothing's changed ㅠㅠ i assume it's kinda because of certain things i went through during those years, but nevertheless i'm always really frustrated with myself and sometimes even cry over it,,, and the fact that my parents always get on my nerves all the time doesn't help either. this video however,, it helped me gain insight on how i can improve myself in a way that doesn't intimidate me or- well- get on my nerves. thanks a lot for this psych2go
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with us. We're so glad that you found the video helpful and we hope that you don't pressure yourself too much to the point of harming your mental health!
Which insight did you find helpful within the video?
@@Psych2go i wasn't expecting a heart and a reply omg 😭🖤
honestly, everything mentioned in this video loll
Thanks.
The videos' timing are immaculate
me watching this video at 3:00 am having this random motivation that will only be forgotten later at daylight
the exact video I needed
Right when I needed this. Feeling motivated now to do my projects. Lesgo. I am Jose Mourinho.
I procastinate on cleaning my room the most. I can just never get it done. But I also procastinate on other things like schoolwork and such. ADHD sucks (that's where my procastination comes from, though the first 2 points before that I also relate to) and if I'm gonna be honest, I'll just end up procastinating on stopping procastinating
I did put this video in ”watch later” so i could watch it another time
I procrastinate on brushing my teeth. I also procrastinate on getting ready for something, which is why I’m always late to stuff.
I’ll add this video to my watch later playlist
I procrastinate working on my house the most with the yard being a close second.
I cut down on my procrastination by changing the reasons why I do things. Instead of doing things because I HAVE to, instead, I choose to do things to be kind to future me. I gotta say, future me is thriving because past me cares so much!
Finally a video on Procrastination, thank you for considering our suggestions on these topics Team Psych2Go. You're one of the rare, famous channels that still communicates with its audience and that is truly admirable. Love your videos as always, they are always insightful! (´∀｀)♡
Another good channel I’ve found is Moriah Elizabeth
She does art and she’s clean, super funny, and only has positive things that always just make me smile and laugh 😁
She’s worth looking into 😉

Me: "Meh, I'll watch it later."
Aight imma put this video on watch later
As a uni student, procrastinating and losing motivation to study is detrimental and i constantly seek any techniques i could find
Saved to watch list to watch later. 😩
thanks for the video! i'll watch it later tho
The thing I procrastinate the most is exercise, probably because it reminds me of so many negative experiences, mainly school-related. Just the thought makes me freak out
As someone who is actually overwhelmed by a big test that will define my future, this vid help a lot to stop procrastinating 😊
Hi from a French ❤
Bienvenue! J'espére que vous avez apprécié la vidéo! (We hope this sentence makes sense 😂)
If you don't mind us asking, what test are you preparing for?
@@Psych2go The sentence actually does make sense, it is really well written !
It is an exam what will define if a have my school diploma 😅
At 30, I want to push myself but i wake up and don’t work on anything. I use to be really consistent and I’m really disappointed in myself and where I am in life. Financially I’m broke, overweight, depressed and I really wanna break this habit!
Thank you so much, for this video about procrastination I really needed it 🫶
yay i no longer procrastinate..........
