I've been wanting to make this video but it took me a while because wanted to make it *thorough*. Procrastination is such a complex problem that it didn't seem right to brand any one app or technique as the "easy fix".
But if I think back what changed between my 5th grade self (horrible blend of procrastinator & perfectionist, staying up past midnight to finish my silly little book reports) and my current college student self (staying on top of things, always starting work early, etc.), I could identify THREE categories of important changes that TOGETHER made alllll the difference for me. I really hope this video helps 💞

Hey blissbean, about distractions & attention management there's more it than just deleting distracting apps, but it's about Changing your relationship with the apps and your reactive behaviours if you can do listen to Maura Neville thomas' 3 books 1. attention management, 2. from to do to done or 3 personal productivity secrets and let us know what you think about it.
- secondly, can you check your audible books foreword? I'm listening to it and the foreword is from Cassandra aarson so i almost got confused if the book is from her or you or both and on cover it says it's from you so do check and clarify what's up with that.

So glad I‘m not the only one for whom the „just get rid of distractions“ thing doesn’t work. When I deleted almost everything from my phone, I started checking my bank app multiple times a day, which I had NEVER done before 😅
same here! or scrolling through gallery:D!!
So interesting~
What if I am watching this to procrastinate 😢
Think of it as an investment 😂
U r
Well since this is educational it’s really what you do with the info afterwards is what really counts
@@BrownSugarWorld That literally is the problem with self improvement !
The efforts that you put in your videos are massive, making you massively underrated! Btw, please try A/B testing your thumbnails!
I love your videoooos, I started watching them like 1 or 2 years ago, I was frustrated because I couldn't understand english language, so I listen to all your videos, and I remember one day I was lying in my bed and suddenly, I realized I understood everything you were saying, it was magical, 2 years later I'm here watching this new video while I'm working on my english job
Production quality, as per usual, is impeccable. Every time I get into a slump where I feel like I'm wasting time, you always bring up time tracking and it's usually such a big help! (if i would just stop forgetting it, that'd be great). I definitely am not consistent with it long term, but it's so helpful for a few months with getting out of a mental rut with wasting time/ feeling like I'm wasting time. Anyways, this certainly is my sign to get back to it again.
Also, just overall this video is full of so many good tips. I really wish the algorithm would get it's shit together and stop killing your channel. It's silly that they "punish" long term breaks from the platform.
no beatrice, you're not failing as a youtuber. dont think that. The mindset part really resonated with me
i'm really bad with procrastination, i still haven't managed to beat it. but one thing that does help a lot is actually resting! setting the time to sit down and watch tv or do a hobbie or whatever (and not punishing myself if i didn't get to do whatever i needed to do). i've seen a few youtubers say things like oh schedule something fun for after you're done with your tasks or otherwise you're not allowed to do it, it feels so toxic and counterproductive :( would love an updated video on time tracking!! you've always made me wanna try, but it's always felt so overwhelming.
also sidenote but i don't think you're failing at youtube, but youtube is failing you. someone already commented that it's terrible the algorithm punishes long breaks from its platform, and i totally agree with them. your content quality is absolutely amazing and you give the most useful tips, and you're helping so many of us. sending you big love 💕
Girrllll thank you for sharing the VPN thing. I had no idea this type of stuff could happen.
You’re so helpful and thorough! Your work doesn’t go unnoticed!!
your videos are always so thorough and creative!!! you really stand out from other youtubers bc you actually have b roll and science and not just talking at a camera the whole time ❤❤❤❤
I love this video and how you edited the whole thing!! Thank you ✨🥰
I will be watching all of your videos. Love your content can’t wait for more!
Oh my goodness, perfect timing! This weekend for me is free since I don‘t have to go to my mum to babysit my brother and I really want to get quite some work done without thinking about anything else. I should really consider doing time-tracking and planning out my days properly at this point since my training at language school demands A LOT. Thank you for this video! 💛
I have a big group project due next week & am currently feeling that intimidating factor of procrastination. I’m going to try planning in detail everything I need to do, even just opening the google doc! Thanks for the advice 😊
My sign to finally finish Feel Good Productivity! Great video.
Ur too good watching u from last 3 years
You get more done in a day than I do in a week. Great Job! 💖
Hi!!! I LOVE your videos, they’re sooo relatable and as it happens I’m leaving to university in 3 months with a tight budget, it would be amazing if you could make a video on how to manage your finances using your notion template!!!
We love this video, thank you!
Yes recharging yourself is so important. In this day and age of "Go Go" it it often overlooked.
amazing amazing video, we can really see how much work u put in your videos. great job girly pop
Just in time. Thank you ❤❤❤
This feels like the old Beatrice and I love it.
Thanks for this video Beatrice. I’m really not in myself lately. I feel like I don’t want to do anything. And I made alot of errors in my work tasks lately. I just lost motivation and dont know what to do. Just want to ask if you have that thing also where you feel like you have alot to do but you dint feel like doing it. I dont know if I’m burnt out or else. I juat feel lost. I dont know. Sorry for the rant. 😢
This is a relatable topic. Thank you for sharing your thoughts¡
Good work on stop procrastinating
Your channel it's amazing 😍 Thank you so much ❤️ Mil gracias
How do you know how much time to block for a task? Sometimes I try to do things like that but I always set myself unrealistic goals. And another problem I struggle with is just avoiding my calendar, so I do not plan at all. I‘d be happy to get some advice!
First of all, remember that there are more ways to be productive/deal with procrastination. So be kind to yourself if some of the tips I anyone gives don’t fit you.
If you haven’t done that task before or haven’t tracked how long it takes, start with an hour or two, or go with what you think it will take. Be super generous! If you can’t finish it in that time, block more time either later in the day (I like to have a Misc. block for this) or the next day/week/etc. You can also leave “empty” time in between blocks to use how you need. If you realize a certain goal is too unrealistic, make it less demanding next time, and try again with a smaller goal for the next day/etc.
As for avoiding the calendar, try and find why you avoid it and change it to something that works for you. Do you need to set up notifications for starting/ending tasks? Are you better with analog planning (drawing it on a notebook or using a physical calendar/planner)? Do you need to place it somewhere you’ll be able to see no matter what? You can also group checking the calendar with an activity you already have, like during/after breakfast, or when you first pick up the phone in the morning, after brushing teeth, etc etc. Elizabeth Filips has some videos on more neurodivergent-focused versions for this, too (but they can work for anyone)
Hello , New to your channel and subscribed . Your apple watch productivity videos was very helpful 🙏
Please do share how you do your video editing ? If possible, please do make a video on it sharing your video editing process. Its so beautifully done , would like to learn from you.
Do you use FCP in a mac (or) do it in ipad ? .
Please suggest any good app for android for time tracking. I used toggl but it is overwhelming.
Also suggest some techniques to stick to this habit. Most of the time when I was doing timetracking I would forget to open the app and start time tracking and also forget to stop the timer.
Ngl, the tips you give will mostely not help me, because it's just so different from how I like doing thigns. But I loooove you energy. It is really entertaining just listening you talk.
This is mostly great and super useful, but a time tracker that requires me to manually click on tasks whenever I change states is an immediate loser for me. I just will not remember. I'm looking for a good one.
how can i pass maths im stuggling alot
I already have a plan to stop procrastinating, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
👍
Muito bem ❤
I liked this video until I saw that you were watching modern family, then I loved this video ❤
