Bad advice on Procrastination

35:24

(why the 'hustle' and 'grind' mentality doesn't work)

Let's jump right into our goal of overcoming procrastination. In our first video, we'll discuss the outline of this programme in detail. We'll also discuss:

  • Exactly what you need to do.

  • What it feels like to procrastinate.

  • The importance of creating a new type of language/self-talk.

  • Why you've struggled to solve this issue (the bad advice on how to stop procrastinating)

  • The fact that you already know ‘what’ to do. The issue is simply that something is blocking you from doing it.

Why you think you are lazy

(understanding the roots of this outdated concept)

In solving your issue with procrastination, we need a little background knowledge first. In this video, we'll look at:

- The importance of beliefs (and why incorrect beliefs make us procrastinate)

- The central principle that Action is an ‘effect’ and not a ‘cause’

- The 3-levels of motivation

- The 2 theories of beliefs (the lie and the truth)

- Seeds – the root cause of the problem of procrastination

(understanding programming)

In this video we touch on a vital aspect of the programme - the fact that you have a choice in what you choose to believe. Again, this is leading to the solution later in the programme. This sets the scene for the exercises to come that will be fundamental in ending procrastination for good.

The Lazy mind VS the Bossy mind 

16:51

(The cause of all indecision)

In this video, we really start to understand why you procrastinate. We look at the inner struggle that takes place in your mind when you're procrastinating. There are essentially two parts to the mind - the lazy mind and the bossy mind. We'll look at how to end this inner conflict by introducing the idea of the 'compassionate mind'. It is here that everything starts to shift. 

We'll also look at how procrastination has a detrimental effect on your self-esteem by looking at examples of how it plays out in real life. This one is essential viewing.

(the early roots of the internalized bully) 

In our next video on how to overcome procrastination, we examine a core belief in the procrastination mindset - the belief that you 'HAVE TO' do certain things in life. This is a debilitating concept to hold when it comes to personal productivity and freedom.

In this video, we'll also be looking at:

  • The role of self-esteem and how vitally important it is to ending procrastination.

  • When procrastination begins in life (understanding how it manifests itself in childhood and that we now have a choice to take back our power).

  • How procrastination destroys self-esteem (continuing to procrastinate is why you continue to feel bad about yourself).

The top 7 myths that suppoer procrastina

Top 7 myths that support procrastination 

16:09

(drop the programming)

To move past procrastination, we'll be radically changing how we talk to ourselves. We'll be making an entirely new story about our relationship to personal productivity and achievement. To do this, we need to look at the mistakes people in language when trying to self-motivate. In this video we'll look at the top 7 myths that procrastinators believe are helpful, but which are actually detrimental to taking action. We'll look at:

  • The myth that if you take more action, this will make you a better person (this is wrong because your value as a person is already firmly established and relies on nothing external).

  • The myth that 'success' is the most important thing in life. While there is nothing wrong with success, putting it on a pedestal actually leads to paralysis. We need a more balanced indifference to start taking consistent action.

  • The myth that all action we take should lead to progress. This is important to debunk as the only thing that matters is showing up and trying. Failures experienced after action is a natural (and hugely useful) part of achievement.

  • The Myth that you need to have 'credentials' to take action. This is a subtle myth which actually causes procrastination. We'll discuss how you are always ready to move forward and never have to wait.

  • The myth that you need to make detailed plans for taking action. This one is hugely important and it is a common mistake which leads to procrastination.

  • The myth that you have to put in long hours and work yourself into the ground (hint, this devastating to motivation).

  • The myth that you have to sacrifice pleasures in life to become disciplined. Of all the myths that need to be debunked, this is by far the biggest.

  • Why affirmations are not effective.

  • The importance of consistency in implementing this exercise daily. 

  • An example of what the 'story' of a procrastinator typically looks like.
