    started putting some serious efforts now
  • 00:01:27
    this is cronic procrastinate now the
  • 00:01:29
    truth is whether whether you are a
  • 00:01:30
    chronic procrastinator or occasional

    procrastinator the solution is same and
  • 00:01:34
    surprisingly simple let's see how in
  • 00:01:36
    solving the procrastination puzzle book
  • 00:01:38
    author Tim cycle mentions be
  • 00:01:40
    procrastinate because the task in front
  • 00:01:42
    creates certain negative feelings so to
  • 00:01:43
    feel good be procrastinate negative
  • 00:01:46
    feelings what are we talking about but
  • 00:01:47
    before checking out in the later parts
  • 00:01:49
    of the video we'll see gogin method
  • 00:01:51
    which is an instant solution to make our
  • 00:01:53
    study when we have zero motivation but
  • 00:01:55
    we don't just want to have a short-term
  • 00:01:57
    solution we want to stay consistent till
  • 00:01:59
    achieve our goals that's why we'll see
  • 00:02:01
    two long-term solutions for two big
  • 00:02:03

  • 00:03:00
    let's come back to the video LLY six
  • 00:03:02
    qualities in a task that will cause
  • 00:03:03
    negative feelings first boring let's
  • 00:03:05
    take Instagram Instagram is engaging
  • 00:03:08
    algorithms work in such a way that it
  • 00:03:10
    will recommends content which you will
  • 00:03:12
    most likely watch enjoy and react while
  • 00:03:15
    studying is boring second unstructured
  • 00:03:18
    how many of you can relate to this but
  • 00:03:19
    before the start of study we have vague
  • 00:03:21
    idea of studying many things but we
  • 00:03:23
    didn't plan what to do in what order to
  • 00:03:25
    do and when to do and that causes
  • 00:03:28
    confusion and negative feeling third
  • 00:03:30
    lack of personal meaning let's assume we
  • 00:03:32
    are preparing for up and if in some
  • 00:03:34
    interview a upsc Topper says my J
  • 00:03:36
    preparation gives a good Ed in problem
  • 00:03:38
    solving it is true of course but just
  • 00:03:40
    because that we can't study J right that
  • 00:03:42
    is not a meaningful task for us four
  • 00:03:44
    lack of intrinsic reward the more a task
  • 00:03:46
    is rewarding the more our brain loves to
  • 00:03:48
    do social media gives instant dopamine
  • 00:03:50
    hits dopamine is a chemical that get
  • 00:03:52
    released in our brain when we do
  • 00:03:54
    something we like like when we had sex
  • 00:03:56
    or having favorite piece of food but
  • 00:03:58
    studying doesn't give it immediately
  • 00:04:01
    five difficulty level let's say we plan
  • 00:04:02
    to study an entire subject in one day
  • 00:04:04
    most likely for most of us that task is
  • 00:04:07
    very difficult so we most likely
  • 00:04:09
    procrastinate six frustration one thing
  • 00:04:12
    that recently happened with me is I
  • 00:04:14
    bought MBE airpods and I had a problem
  • 00:04:16
    in it and I want to claim warranty but
  • 00:04:18
    for claiming it I have to go to their
  • 00:04:20
    website to upload the invo which I had
  • 00:04:22
    to download from Amazon that's okay but
  • 00:04:24
    I also had to record a video explaining
  • 00:04:26
    the problem with the ear and I had to
  • 00:04:28
    send it to my Mac and then I have to
  • 00:04:30
    upload it this is frustrating so I keep
  • 00:04:33
    cating for more than a week generally it
  • 00:04:35
    doesn't necessarily a task has to have
  • 00:04:37
    all of these six qualities to make us
  • 00:04:39
    procrastinate even one or two qualities
  • 00:04:42
    is enough to make us procrastinate so
  • 00:04:44
    our job is to identify what quality in a
  • 00:04:46
    TS that causes us procrastination and we
  • 00:04:49
    have to Simply turn it off now the
  • 00:04:51
    question is how first handling bordom in
  • 00:04:54
    2024 May I've been hospitalized and to
  • 00:04:56
    recover from illness it took me 30 days
  • 00:04:58
    and once I came back back to IIT Madras
  • 00:05:00
    I had zero motivation to work on
  • 00:05:02
    anything so I took my flas filled with
  • 00:05:04
    coffee went to library and started
  • 00:05:06
    studying and I felt engagement towards
  • 00:05:08
    the work another way I try to make my
  • 00:05:11
    work more attractive is setting my desk
  • 00:05:13
    little cool plus a coffee it creates
  • 00:05:15
    engagement and I like studying in an
  • 00:05:17
    engagement because it gives that
  • 00:05:19
    cinematic feel you know second handling
  • 00:05:22
    unstructured simple have a clear plan
  • 00:05:24
    every day make a to-do list of what you
  • 00:05:26
    want to do in what order you want to do
  • 00:05:28
    and block time for when you are going to
  • 00:05:30
    do if you're getting started with
  • 00:05:31
    planning you can check out my simple
  • 00:05:33
    notion template it's in my telegram
  • 00:05:34
    links below and in telegram group you
  • 00:05:36
    can access it any time which is spinned
  • 00:05:39
    in the top of the group so just be aware
  • 00:05:41
    of that third handling lack of personal
  • 00:05:43
    meaning for most of us we know studying
  • 00:05:45
    for gate or UPC or J is Meaningful so
  • 00:05:49
    studying related to it it won't cause
  • 00:05:51
    any negativity yet to emphasize this
  • 00:05:53
    more to our brain try visualization
  • 00:05:56
    technique every day when you wake up
  • 00:05:57
    just sit idle for 2 minutes visual
  • 00:05:59
    visualize the life that you will get
  • 00:06:01
    while cracking this job visualize a
  • 00:06:03
    success it increases the desire for the
  • 00:06:05
    goal four lack of intrinsic rewards it's
  • 00:06:08
    very simple you have to give reward if
  • 00:06:09
    you study for 15 minutes then reward
  • 00:06:11
    yourself with 10 minutes of music or do
  • 00:06:14
    something you like another way of giving
  • 00:06:15
    rewards is concurrent rewards like I
  • 00:06:17
    know one of my friend he goes for run
  • 00:06:19
    every day and I asked him how are you so
  • 00:06:21
    consistent he says running plus music is
  • 00:06:23
    a very satisfying feeling you have to be
  • 00:06:25
    very creative here because when I do my
  • 00:06:28
    chores I'm comfortable listening to
  • 00:06:30
    music but often for studies what works
  • 00:06:33
    for me is focused music be creative and
  • 00:06:36
    come up with what works for you fifth
  • 00:06:38
    handling frustration studying sometimes
  • 00:06:40
    is frustrating sometimes we study hard
  • 00:06:43
    but we can't understand or we can't
  • 00:06:45
    score in exams in this case get help
  • 00:06:47
    like there is a popular rule called 15
  • 00:06:49
    minute rule which says if you have
  • 00:06:50
    trouble understanding a concept put
  • 00:06:52
    effort for 15 minutes then go get help
  • 00:06:55
    sixth handling difficulty the best
  • 00:06:57
    strategy here is breaking the difficulty
  • 00:06:59
    task into many easy task and Achieve one
  • 00:07:01
    by one now one more medicine for
  • 00:07:03
    procrastination and above all of this is
  • 00:07:06
    deadline so have a plan with clear
  • 00:07:07
    realistic deadlines on daily weekly and
  • 00:07:10
    monthly basis you will be amazed how
  • 00:07:11
    much you had accomplished by the end of
  • 00:07:13
    the next year now this is one side of
  • 00:07:14
    the coin where we are not studying
  • 00:07:16
    because studying is the cause of the
  • 00:07:18
    problem what if we are the reason we are
  • 00:07:20
    not studying for our goals for example
  • 00:07:22
    let's assume a person named rock you
  • 00:07:24
    can't see me when you playing peekaboo
  • 00:07:26
    you can't see me you can't see me oh
  • 00:07:28
    believe me we all can see you rock
  • 00:07:31
    decide to prepare for gate exam he
  • 00:07:33
    relentlessly put effort for one year but
  • 00:07:35
    unfortunately not able to crack it he
  • 00:07:37
    persevered and put efforts for one more
  • 00:07:39
    year again he failed now rock is
  • 00:07:41
    demotivated and he decides to quit now
  • 00:07:44
    what to do there is a popular motivation
  • 00:07:46
    Theory the expectation Theory posted by
  • 00:07:48
    Victor haral broom in 1964 says that a
  • 00:07:51
    person's motivation depends mainly on
  • 00:07:53
    expectancy for example let's say you
  • 00:07:55
    went to attend classes in your coaching
  • 00:07:57
    Institute and if I come and give a Max
  • 00:07:58
    challenge for 10,000 rupees who will be
  • 00:08:00
    the person who is most motivated to
  • 00:08:02
    participate definitely it will be the
  • 00:08:04
    person who is good at Max right because
  • 00:08:06
    he knows if he walks he will win for
  • 00:08:08
    sure the idea behind this theory is
  • 00:08:10
    knowing that your hard work will
  • 00:08:12
    guaranteed to give you result is a
  • 00:08:14
    powerful motivator and if you lose that
  • 00:08:16
    confidence you will lose motivation so a
  • 00:08:18
    practical solution is if you are someone
  • 00:08:20
    who thinks you are not good in studies
  • 00:08:22
    remember you are your system James Clear
  • 00:08:24
    famously said in automic habits forget
  • 00:08:26
    about goals focus on systems ins for
  • 00:08:28
    example if you can't able to understand
  • 00:08:30
    Concepts it's not your fault the problem
  • 00:08:31
    is in the study system of yours now in
  • 00:08:33
    my research I discovered there are two
  • 00:08:34
    different kinds of doubt there's
  • 00:08:35
    self-doubt and idea doubt self-doubt is
  • 00:08:37
    paralyzing it leads you to free but idea
  • 00:08:39
    doubt is energized it motivates you to
  • 00:08:41
    test to experiment to refine Barbara o
  • 00:08:43
    famously said intention to learning is
  • 00:08:45
    useful only if you have the right
  • 00:08:47
    learning strategy if you can't able to
  • 00:08:48
    memorize learn how to memorize
  • 00:08:50
    effectively if you can't able to solve
  • 00:08:52
    problems faster learn how to increase
  • 00:08:53
    problem solving skills so fundamentally
  • 00:08:55
    set the systems right now we had seen
  • 00:08:57
    how to make oneself study when the task
  • 00:08:59
    is the problem or when we are the
  • 00:09:01
    problem but but what if these two
  • 00:09:03
    reasons are not for you like few days
  • 00:09:05
