- Procrastinating or Procrastination. How To Stop Procrastinating. What Is Procrastination. Stop Procrastinating.
I've had countless comments and messages to do a video on Procrastinating and How To Stop Procrastinating. The good news is that the video is finally done! Let me know how you get on and if you have any of your own tips or tricks feel free to leave a comment below, because I'd love to read it and I'm sure everyone watching would too.
WHAT IS PROCRASTINATION:
The definition of procrastination: A voluntary delay of an intended important task despite knowing you’ll be worse off for doing so.
The key ingredient is that it has to be something you intended to do. so its not something someones making you do that you don’t want to do. The delay has to be unnecessary so not putting one task aside for a more important one. And you know that by putting the task off there will be harm either to your self or someone else.
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PROCRASTINATING:
We all occasionally procrastinate and it’s not such a bad thing when done in moderation, but when it becomes chronics it can become more problematic.
We often think procrastinating is due to poor time management or being lazy and we can look at procrastinators thinking just get on with it. But a lot of it has to do with people's emotional states and how they mange those negative moods.
So one way of looking at procrastinating is poor mood management that you use procrastination as a way to regulate those negative feelings.
Let’s say you have this task to write an assignment and for whatever reason it’s boring, it’s challenging, it’s stressful and it brings up a sense of incompetence, fear of failure because your worried you won’t get it right.
And we all have this dynamic between the task that may be unpleasant and all the feelings you have inside you. So then what happens? Well we first struggle a little and delay the task. Then we think right I got to do this and we think about whats going to come from doing this? The benefits, what you will learn about yourself and you get on with the task.
But here’s the thing if you’re a chronic procrastinator you don't know how to manage those negative feelings. So you take that task or the assignment you put it away and you think I feel so much better now. And your internal dialogue then rationalises this decision, because immediately you feel great and you then think I’ll be less tired net week I’ll do it much better next week.
But the problem with doing this is we think of our future self as a superhero someone who is much more capable. We're psychologically distancing ourselves from that person becoming unreal, unattainable and eventually no longer identifying with it anymore.

Thanks for commenting J Smith glad I could help :)
I love the way I'm procrastinating from getting out of bed by watching this😂
😅Thanks for commenting hope my tips help for tomorrow :)
Took me around 1 month to finally watch this video, after having it open in my tabs
HeyAbraham, I'm from India... I actually saw a lot of videos here on TH-cam on procrastination and how to solve it and fix it, the videos that had millions of views, but i found none of them useful for me...
But after watching this video of you, I really understood the root causes of procrastination and how i can eliminate it on the root level... I really found your tips resonating with my emotional state of mind when i procrastinate on tasks and really feel that i found the exact correct tip i needed to cure it.. Many thanks...
I actually also went to physiologist and psychiatrist about 8 months ago, even when people here in india are kind of mentality like only mad people go to such doctors, but even i found that visit useless because he told me, I'm fine and solid. When I asked for advice, he gave me useless ones that really didn't even sound logical as a proper solution.. They sounded useless.
But you helped me today by explaining this topic clearly, with accurate tips that target the root cause of it.. You should be proud of yourself that even a qualified doctor couldn't help and explain it to me, but you gave me proper solution. You are more than a doctor for me : )
I'm your old subscriber and i really hope your videos reach more people. Really salute your consistency and self-less service that you are doing and helping so many people around.
So nice to read your comment Robo Ex - Sending you awesome vibes :)
This actually helped a lot! In high school I procrastinated so many assignments cause I didnt like the subject, and felt like I could do them much better later. But honestly, it's all about not having too high expectations for yourself and knowing that you're gonna do better elsewhere :-)
Glad my tips helped!
Well this video arrived at just the right time. Thanks Abraham 😁
Perfect! Glad I could help 😀
Wow thank you so much Doc 😊👍🏾 I really understand why I do it now, think I found the root.
You are so welcome
This video deserves more attention great work

Can u please tell how long can we use azelastine and futicasone nasal spray?..
I have deviated nasal septum and allergic rhinitis since years.
Is it hard to be a pharmacist?
Can you make a video on it? Great content you got there by the way.
Of course I can Zam_zam - Added to the future video list :)
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Thanks that really means a lot.
Wow I feel attacked, but yeah. I feel like I’m protecting myself by putting things off because of bad experiences. One of my professors is brutal so I feel like the more I avoid things, the more I avoid him therefore keeping my mental and emotions safe. Tried speaking to someone about it and found out many other students did too, but the school doesn’t really care... So I’ve been considering dropping out.😖 Not really going to but venting about it makes me feel better.🤣 Oh and it’s my birthday.🦁🎉
Thanks for commenting and happy birthday 🎁
Who else here is procrastinating by watching this video right now?

Hey there thanks a lot for all your advices and help. Your awesome!
Also i have a question a bit off topic. I know I'm D vitamin deficient that's bad for my immune system and now i feel like getting some Sun but it's the rainy season now and it's always cloudy where i live now. Is it ok if i take a supplement? Is it just as effective? Will it on the longer-term inhibit my ability to naturally get it?
Great question Bevarsi Kudka - Sending awesome vibes back. I will do my best to get back to you in detail in a future responding to comments video.
*saves video to watch later*
